Newegg has the Uncharted PS4 bundle for $254.99 shipped with Premier or Shoprunner after $25 off Visa Checkout promo.

If you have the $25 off $200+ AMEX you can use AMEX with VCO (blasphemy, I know) and stack it for a cool $229.99 delivered...

Looks like we may have an official PC remote play option coming.

Don't know if the un-official app or the XB1 put pressure on them to do this, but better late than never.

I think they've been working on it for a while since MS announced the feature coming with Windows 10, but Tmacdev's unofficial app probably sparked Sony to actually announce it. Sony hinted about it just before the PS Now announcement some time ago.

* too much announcment.

I picked up a PS4 (Uncharted Collection) for my son for Christmas. I got him a couple games on his list, but for myself I'm looking for RPG. Would you recommend The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt, or Dragon Age Inquisition? I haven't played either series, though I've always enjoyed Bioware games (KOTOR, BG2, NWN). I also liked the open world of Skyrim on the PC. How do they play on the console, or are they both a lot better on a PC? Or any other recommendation? I'll probably pickup The Last of Us also.

I'd recommend the Witcher 3 the highest of all RPG's. It's $25 now on PSN and there's a 10% off code you can find to lower it even more. You don't have to play the other two to enjoy it, it stands on it's own. A word of warning, I'm not sure if you're buying it for just yourself or both you and your son but the game is a hard R with violence, sex, nudity, etc.

Dragon Age: Inquisition is a good RPG but pales in comparison to Witcher 3. It's worth playing but with both games being 50+ hours you're better spending your time with Witcher 3.

If you enjoyed Skyrim you definitely want to pick up Fallout 4 which some say is Skyrim with guns. If your pc can handle skyrim you might want to pick up Fallout 3 and/or New Vegas first since if your pc can hadle skyrim it can't definitely handle those two Fallout games. Plus you can usually get them on sale on steam or GOG.

I like Inquisition more but I think a lot of it has to do with the fact that the Witcher 3 is a scary game so I could not finish it.

DA:I and Witcher 3 are different enough that I have a hard time directly comparing them. I like the team/strategy of DA games a lot more than the combat in Witcher 3, but the atmosphere and story are better in Witcher 3 IMO. I played DA:I on the PS4 and thought it was fine and had no complaints. I would probably have to do a coin flip if I could only play one.

Also look at Infamous Second Son and Farcry 4 if you like open world action games.
 
I just got my PS4. A couple of quick questions. Generally speaking how do you pause your game? Is it possible to just have your username displayed on the home screen instead of your first and last name?

In the settings under account personalization or something like that I think you can. Or maybe you cant but your friends won't see your full name unless you allow the name request. To pause the game just press the start button or tap the PS button which will bring you back to the media center screen.
 
Is there a way to make the controller charge while system is in rest mode? What I mean is if I put the system in rest mode first when the controller is NOT plugged in and then plug it in it will not charge. The controller has to be plugged in before I put it in rest mode then it will charge.

I've had no issues putting it in rest mode and charging it after. Sometimes it take a bit to recognize.
