wow that is some crazy numbers right there! sony needs to just pump them out weekly though. if amazon really doesn't have them until the 15th that is whack. it isn't like they won't have tons being made in the 2 months prior to that.

I think that is just a place holder date from Amazon. When units come in, they will be shipped out in order of the orders placed I'm sure.

I haven't shipped mine back to Amazon yet, and have gotten a few texts for mine @ $500 today. We'll see if they are all flakes like before.

I need to get better at using the boost. I only started trying it out last night.

Back when I started playing Super Stardust HD, I didn't even realize that there was a boost for the longest time! 😛 It is definitely helpful as it can help you ration your bombs properly by allowing you to get out of sticky situations simply by ramming your way through. My only problem is that I choose to use the boost, but I don't realize that it's not ready yet. So, I just end up running into some enemy and dying. :$

EDIT:

I also use the boost from time to time if the game warns me that a human is in danger. I've destroyed quite a few of those UFOs using the explosion that occurs when you stop boosting. One time, I had this ridiculously awesome hot pick-up. The UFO was about to get the human when boosted right through it, which also picked up the human. I pretty much flew it right into the escape pod after that.

For a console launch there WAS a lot of stock, but it's still not enough for demand.

Anyway, I finally got to play on one today. They had a demo of Knack going with a huge TV that you couldn't get away from so it looked terrible. However all I wanted to know was how the controller felt and I really like it. They took care of pretty much every issue I had with the ps3 controller.

the demo of knack definitely doesn't look as good as the finished product.

Screw craigslist.

Was about to get Super Mario Strikers, Mario Power Tennis, and Harvest Moon for GameCube for $5 ea. Last second seller claimed he couldn't make it because of work, now today won't even answer. Of course the ad mysteriously vanished as well. Just another day on craigslist, nothing to see here.

Now I have to grab them on eBay just in spite.

besides Killzone, what's a game that shows off the graphics? (I tend to leave FPS's to PC's... purchased KZ3 for my PS3, and it's collecting dust 'cause I couldn't get use to the controls)

I live in cali, so that means 40 bucks of tax. so that means $500 means $60 profit. If I shipped mines back to amazon, I have to pay for shipping, another 20-30 bucks.

Might as well take a quick $60 quick profit!

Amazon charges $3.95 or something for shipping and they deduct it from the refund (at least for me). When you return something, they give you a label to print out.

😱 ...never been a huge fan of those combo devices. I just upgraded from my older Netgear WNDR3700, which was a pretty good router overall. I had very little trouble with it, but it was always a gamble whether Netgear's latest firmware was worth flashing. I think I'm using an older firmware that had less reported connectivity problems (note: I don't have any), but the Attached Devices section never works.

I'm currently using The Nighthawk. (I just like saying that. I'm also waiting for it to mess up so I can say, "Nighthawk down!" :biggrin🙂 Anyway, routers like that are probably overkill. Although, I am a fan of external antennas as they should provide better coverage (kind of like how they were better on cellphones).

Your best bet would probably just be to wait about a week for some good Black Friday deals on Newegg or Amazon. Also, keep your eyes peeled for anything good on sale leading up to it. I'd probably look for a good, quality 802.11n router, but just don't skimp on it. It's rare for me to pay below $100 and get a good router (unless it's on sale). Unless we're talking about the old Linksys WRT54G. 😛

Thanks. I have some stuff to research.

NBA 2k14 & battlefield 4 some other games really look good but they aren't on the same level.

amazon covers your return shipping they give you a prepaid label. if you paid for return shipping to them then you did it wrong.

AC4 and Flower are supposed to look good. I don't think anything looks bad, even COD @ 1080P is supposed to look good. I think Knack looks damn fine with its Pixar like art style.
 
don't kid yourself - knack isn't even close to being "pixar like" in it's graphics heh. the game looks okay but not a game i'd ever use to "show off" the graphics of the ps4. i think the lighting in knack is the best part about the graphics. other than that it looks like an upscaled ps3 game for the most part.

It would take a thousand PS4s to have Pixars graphics, considering they have a huge render farm to make them. lol.
 
watched toy story 1, and we've definitely reached Toy Story 1 levels already. But anything for the PC (besides NBA 2k14) I'll get for the PC. AC4, and BF4, COD Ghosts, all PC bound (I have a pretty decent PC - 4770K @ 4.2, 16GB, GTX 780, SBZ, etc.)

Like Xbone has Forza 5 and Ryse. Which I think ryse looks unbelievably insane looking at the review videos on IGN! Wow that was insane!
