Knack is a very enjoyable game and it's 2 player too which makes it that much more fun.
It is a hard game, but not too hard once you realize it's not just a go in and bam bam bam kill everything like most games... it's like an old school aggravating hard (on hard), one hit deaths, restarting from checkpoints over and over... good times!

I suppose if Knack were a game that came free with the purchase of an extra controller (Much like Wii Sports did with the Wii) then it would have been a 9 out of 10 by most critics. No doubt it will be a free PS Plus title by spring of next year.

Hope it is, Demons Souls implications gives me warm fuzzies even though it has zero $60 appeal.

Question for some experienced folks on here:

I've never been much of a headset gamer in the past, always enjoyed my dolby surround behemoth sound when gaming. But more recently I've become more and more interested (with family around) in being able to isolate that sound down to myself. So as someone who values great sound fidelity in mind, what's the ideal headset I should be looking to buy for use with my PS4?

Man, those Sony memory cards remind me of $100 monster cables at Best Buy. Even at 50% off those cards are a huge rip off, but you don't really have a choice. In comparison you can get a class 10 32gb microsd card that is at least 2x as fast as the sony card for $15-$20.

Monster is different in that you do have a choice though, just that's what BB has available so that's what people think they cost.

I cannot recommend enough, again, if you buy a 3ds xl, buy this battery. Yes its expensive. No you don't pay shipping which helps make the cost more bearable. Yes it is the best battery you can imagine. Imagine having a 3ds with a better battery life than an Ipad.

[HLI-3DSLL] Buy Mugen Power 5800mAh Extended Battery for Nintendo 3DS LL and Nintendo 3DS XL with Battery Door

Yes it takes some time to ship right now because demand is high and they produce them in bunches for shipment.

hodj, I know this was posted a while back, but they appear to be charging for shipping now - was there a promotional code to avoid this, or might they just have enough demand now to pass the cost along? Was interested until I saw the additional $23 for shipping.

Oh, and that turtle beach ps4 chat cable that plugs into the ps4 controller on one end and the xbox360 port on the mix amp came in, works perfectly. Crystal clear voices, I hear the usb audio alternative is kinda crappy on chat audio quality.

They weren't charging for shipping but I dunno they might have changed that I never used a promotional code or anything. Their website said they shipped for free but if you sent the order back or it got sent back for some reason then they would charge for shipping if you wanted it resent. So not sure what changed. That's disappointing to say the least.

note that the free shipping wasn't like overnight it was a 15 day free shipping (from the time they shipped it was less than 10 business days before they arrived for me) so if you're upgrading/altering shipping that may change things.

Are their any one ear wrap around wireless earpeice? Something like an antenna that plugs into the PS4 controller port and then an earpeice that I can put on my ear? Microphone attached would be welcome.

My surround sound and I don't want full on headphones but I hate the wire that comes from the controller to the earpeice and it never stays in my ear anyway. No earpeices ever have fit my ear correctly no matter what size or type I try.

Bluetooth earpieces work, the controller even runs on bluetooth.

The number includes the 700,000 units sold through in Europe and Australasia launching on November 29. The PS4 system became available on November 15 in the United States and Canada and on November 29 in Europe, Australasia and Latin America and is now available in 32 countries globally.

The UK alone: more than a third of the Pal market!

EDIT: Now that I think of it, since it's sold out everywhere, it's just indicative of the console allocation by SCEE. They probablly tiped the scale in favor of the UK since it's where the Xbox brand was the strongest in Europe during the previous gen.

ac4 for ps3 digital is $30 on amazon today, on reddit thread someone confirmed you can get the digital code, put it into your ps4 online store, and then buy the online store upgrade to PS4 for $10. No PS3 or discs required
Amazon.com: Assassins Creed IV Black Flag - PS3 [Digital Code]: Video Games

ASSASSIN'S CREED IV $29.99 on Amazon today only, upgrade to PS4 version for $10 : PS4

probably the best PS4 game out right now, imo. Although Need for Speed is really fun too. I really, really don't enjoy Killzone and I don't know why (still on like... mission 2?)

oh: does season pass for ac4 get you anything right now, or is it just shit thats coming out later? Did they list what it gets yet?
