PlayStation 4 Discussion

Re: PlayStation 4 Discussion

Life is Strange is Tuesday as well as Grim Fandango. Apparently that was a great PC game back in the day.

I might grab both.

Life Is Strange is actually being released on Friday, according to PlayStation Blog. Yes, that doesn't make much sense. (I don't know if the demo is also Friday.)

Check your uploads and notifications tabs and clear them up. That helped clean up issues I had with uploading. (It's been mentioned in this htread before too)

Ok thanks for the help I'll give that a try. *UPDATE* It worked thanks again for suggesting it. Never realized I had to keep it clear. Should the download notifications be cleared as well? Thx.

So apparently Gamestop online was selling Dying Light Season Pass and sending out the full game. I tried to get on the deal but wouldn't work outside of the US. Looks fixed now as the Gamestop link is dead.

Re: PlayStation 4 Discussion

Moving the discussion here rather than the Xbox One thread, but Spotify coming to PS4 this spring.

It's coming as part of the newly announced Playstation Music service that's replacing Music Unlimited, so wondering if we have to pay a subscription to that on top of a subscription to Spotify?

Paid spotify required? - "You’ll be able to link your PSN account to Spotify and sign-up and access the music group’s premium service."

Playstation Music might not be free? - "Music Unlimited members that have active subscriptions as of February 28 will receive free access to that service through March 29. More information on PlayStation Music will arrive closer to launch."

Just wondering how Playstation Music is going to be monetized since it's replacing a paid program, as long as you're not getting double dipped and only have to pay for Spotify it sounds like a decent deal (though one I wouldn't use, currently prefer and paying for Google Music).

Re: PlayStation 4 Discussion

Sounds like an exclusivity deal with Sony with PS3, Xperia smartphones and tablets receiving this too. Says "early launch initially" so maybe Vita gets some love too.

Also,

Prior to the launch of Spotify on PlayStation Music, the Music Unlimited service will close in all 19 countries on March 29, 2015. Nearly all of these countries will be among the 41 markets where PlayStation Music featuring Spotify will be available at launch, including the U.S., Canada, Mexico and Brazil. From February 28, 2015, Music Unlimited users with active subscriptions will receive free access to Music Unlimited through March 29, 2015.

I would imagine anyone w spotify Premium could access it via the PS4 same as they can through any device right now. If you don't have premium then you will have to put up with ads.

As for Sony they probably are getting paid a nice chunk of cash from Spotify to replace their music service so it's win win for both companies as Spotify will get a lot of new subs from opening up this market.

I am just hoping for a deal on an annual package versus month to month...does anyone know if Spotify premium is ever found like for a special deal or discount?

Re: PlayStation 4 Discussion

Is the freebie going to be available or just the premium?

Also,

Basically available on console and their android phones and tablets. Spotify is already on the latter, so I think Spotify is just one part of the service.

Not expecting it for the Vita, they're removing Maps, Near and Youtube apps/features in March. Obviously trimming licensing/maintenance costs.

Both, according the the Sony people responding on their blog.

Re: PlayStation 4 Discussion

I don't care a bit about any of this unless it means being able to bring back Sounds of the Show, custom arena sounds in NBA 2K, etc. I really, really miss those features.

Re: PlayStation 4 Discussion

Can somebody please tell me how the mp3 music reader works? I have put songs on a flash drive with ps4 folder and music sub folder and nothing shows up when I try to get my ps4 to read and play music. Any help would be appreciated.

Does it need to be FAT32 formatted?

Re: PlayStation 4 Discussion

No it worked just fine for backing up game saves and new system update/reformat file when I upgraded my hard drive last week
