    Re: PlayStation 4 Discussion

    Any good will Sony had with me over the course of the last couple of days is gone.

    So, my brother, who bought the console off of Amazon at midnight on Friday, got his console today. He followed all of the instructions, turned the console on, and it won't boot up. We mess around with all of the HDMI ports and everything. Nothing pops up. Meanwhile, there is a flashing blue light on the PS4. We unplug everything, restart the console, and nothing. So I look up some videos, a few people had success taking the HDD out and replacing it, that didn't work either.

    Oh well, we have the warranty for the console, right? Well, the problem is, Amazon will take the console back but they won't give him a new one (they are obviously out of stock). Okay, so maybe we can send it to sony and have it fixed. That's not happening either, as apparently Sony will fix them but it will take up to TWO months to get back.

    So then we're waiting on both the customer support phone line and the chat room. Every time we are next in line, they boot us from the chat. We've also been on the phone line for two hours now.

    It sucks, because I love the console. I played it all of yesterday and early in the morning. But I was really hoping Sony would be on top of their customer service in a way that Microsoft never was for me, and that's not at all happening. I wish anyone else having similar problems good luck.

      I haven't been following this thread as much as I did prior to getting my PS4 but what happened to friend notifications? We don't get them anymore? I went to notifications in the settings but didn't see anything there either.

        Got off the phone with EB, they will call me when they get more PS4's. After they replaced my 1st one yesterday they have had 4 other PS4's needed to be replaced. Their costumer service has been awesome. That being said, I'm very disappointed with the PS4 so far. I've spent only an hour of gaming and the rest trouble shouting and installing games. I wish the new systems were "put in and play", instead of what they are now. So now, I will just wait for my 3rd PS4. Hopefully, I will not have issues with the Xbox Zone in Friday.

        Also, the recent activity stuff has never worked for me.

                  Re: PlayStation 4 Discussion

                  When using the earbud headset that comes with the system, is there anyway to still have sound come out of the TV? The sound in the earbud sucks, and since it mutes the TV, that's all the sound I get.

                  Any help?

                      Lets try to solve... start all over. Reformat and everything, then do the installs before you play anything. I'd like to see if it works better for you that way.

                          That kind of stuff I think is a real nex gen feature and a game changer simply because of the ease and how simple it is to pull the gaming community together more than ever now.

                          Im curious about that feature, share feature they talked about where someone could even take over your game remotely. Is that something still in the works?

                              PS4 has Twitch? I thought that was exclusive of the XboxONE? Does the PS4 also have UStream?

                                I have done all of that. I even down loaded the update to a USB and re-installed it. I've reformatted thus PS4 3 times. I even did to process where you take out the HDD.

                                Also, that 3 attempts at installing games, I just wait for them to finish. The only way I've played 2K is when it's installing. Once it's installed it freezes at the load screen.

                                And for whatever reason, the only game I can play is Battlefield.
