Re: PlayStation 4 Discussion

Although this is not an official PS4 news, I found this interesting regarding Sony's announcement today of a 4k UHD Player that is releasing spring of 2017. They're also announcing a uber high-end projector, the first home projectors to support Hybrid Log-Gamma (HyLG), a relatively new standard developed for HDR broadcasting. The upgrade will be added via a firmware update after release. At launch, the projector will also feature support for HDR10, one of the most prominent HDR standards which is supported by Ultra HD Blu-ray players and streaming services like Netflix and Amazon.

What's interesting is the market that Sony seems to be targeting and the timing of it's delivery into the market.

Earlier this year, Sony watched from the sidelines while rivals like Samsung and Philips dove into the Ultra HD Blu-ray player market, announcing that it wouldn’t release its own player until 2017.




While other companies are aiming their products at all consumers, Sony is instead aiming at the custom install set with its new 4K UHD player. The company plans to have the UBP-X1000ES certified with vendors like Control4, Crestron, and Savant, and IP control via Wi-Fi or Ethernet is included out of the box. The player is also built to last, with a frame and beam chassis combined with its honeycomb top plate.
Available exclusively via custom installers, the UBP-X1000ES will start shipping in spring 2017, but so far Sony is keeping quiet about pricing.

So I just download the newest system update and now it won't connect to the PlayStation network. I have tried everything.
Any suggestions?

No thanks Amazon

The 27th? Are they serious with that? Wow I've never seen it that late from Amazon, anytime I've ever pre-ordered something from the I always got it on release day.

They recently ****ed up my Madden 17 order, and if they **** up my BF1 order, I will no longer use them for pre orders of games that I'd actually want to play on release day.

They would have had it out sooner but we're delayed due to software problems last I read.

Re: PlayStation 4 Discussion

So with the update now being out that makes it so all ps4 have HDR and with the PRO not coming out in till November and with the rumor that was around for a while before the PRO was shown about October 1st games with patch for the NEO stuff do you guys think we may see some games get a HDR patch on October 1st like Ratchet and clank? I don't have a 4k tv so of course HRD does no good but I am interested to see what people think about HDR who do have a 4k HDR tv.

Re: PlayStation 4 Discussion

Quick googling on this whole PSN down issue, it looks like the service going down is more than some tend to acknowledge. I was hoping to find every hard date but there is just to much info to wade through on down detector.

These are the hard dates I have.

Jan 4th

Jan 20th

Feb 1st

Aug 26th

Sept 1st

Sept 6th

Sept 13th

Some websites are claiming both consoles have been down roughly the same with 30 times currently down in 2016. If that stands as true info and we take today's current day count of 258 (Sept 14) divide that by the loose number of 30 down times. That is roughly the service going down once every 9 days.

Seems like a lot for a paid service. I can't find find any data on Steam down amount but I know its less than both the consoles, I leave steam on 24/7 at work and at home, its down very seldom. I'm only comparing these two because the services are the same but one is free and one is raising its price in the face of these issues.

Lots of grey area here but the simple thing to take away, like EG mentioned Sony better figure out a way to stop DDOS, the amount of time the console is coming down is often enough to matter to buyers.

Yea, it seems like when one of them was DDOS attacked the other was as well, but something you failed to mention was that I don't remember a day Xbox was down for maintenance this year or last year while it seemed that almost 1-2 days every month PSN was down for maintenance.

Re: PlayStation 4 Discussion

My favorite thing with the 4.0 update is all the options on the quick menu. Most off the functionality i need is right there. Its great.

Re: PlayStation 4 Discussion
