How long does this deal last? I'm going on vacation soon so I'll try and order it and maybe have it shipped to my friends house where I'll be going.

Would anyone please explain to me how voice chat works on the PS4? I used to have a xbox 360, but I don't remember how well the voice worked. Let's say I am in a party of 6, is it easy to hear each other, or do people easily talk over each other all the time?

It's pretty easy to hear each other unless someone is being loud or has something annoying going on in the background. You can also manage the audio between party and game. But when in a game you hear those in your party most of the time.

So how does it determine what happens in your headset vs the speakers on the TV. Does it only send voice chat to the headset or does it mute the TV and send everything to the headset?

You have the option of selecting either one.

Can't say there was anything that tickled my fancy at their Gamescon press conference. Firmware 2.0 is a huge disappointment. Just adds Share Play but nothing else people were asking for.

Here's hoping that the Microsoft DLNA/MKV announcement will spur Sony to add similar features.

While I understand people want this, I already have 4 devices I can use for this purpose without a game console.

Still a lot of people who do want it though, if the comments on the PlayStation Blog are anything to go by. I'm also starting to think the Suspend/Resume feature has been confined to the realms of vapourware.

I must say DriveClub looks absolutely gorgeous.

Drive club does look great. Can't wait to play it via psn+. I don't think I will buy it because I won't have any time to put into it with so much else coming in the next 3 months.

Between Destiny, a couple RPGs that release at the same time (Middle Earth Shadow of Mordor and Dragon Age Inquisition), Forza Horizon 2 and other titles...I will be busy. What I've actually thought about doing is add a couple of these games to my X-Mas list and wait to play them until a bit later on.

So beside Destiny WTF are we getting in 2014? Because it's starting to feel beside two games on each platform (for me) it's going to be a rough 4th quarter.

Who'd have thunk it this far into a new platform we're still relying mostly on last gen remakes and indie ports from at this point in some cases two year old games.

I just saw Journey getting announced for PS4. /facepalm
