PlayStation 4 - console (console)

Customer Review

Often the Xbox One and Play Station 4 are dubbed as Next Gen consoles, but this is no longer true.
These are namely the Current Gen Consoles! ;)

First of all a credit to Amazon:
As the PS4 was available in April, I ordered without hesitation a large and those already received a day later.
Really commendable! Especially when you consider that the PS4 was sold out in April and always fast.

Why I ordered a PS4:
I am gamblers since 1995 and own several consoles and handhelds.
The PS4 I ordered because I am very happy with my PS3 (load gene) and absolutely another Current Gen wanted consoles. :)
To my current gen consoles include the PS4 and the Nintendo Wii U.
I also own an Xbox 360 and I have enjoyed playing on this.
An Xbox One I'll grow me as soon as this enough exclusive title offers that appeal to me personally.

Now we come to the console itself:
This looks quite valuable and the size of the console I find absolutely fine.
The design I personally like, but tastes are obviously differ. : P
In operation it is not too loud, but if Blu Rays are read, then it is clearly audible.

Features:
The PS4 comes in a fancy blue box.
What is all hidden in it, I will tell you now.
In addition to the console to be the package is still a DualShock 4 controller, a USB charging cable (for the controller), an HDMI cable, an in-ear headset and a power plug in.
The in-ear headset would like to high-quality can fail. It slips with me always out of the ear. : /
Since the headset the xbox one is definitely better!
I think it's great that the power supply is built into the console.
I think that, for. Example, when the Xbox 360 and the Xbox One not so good, because there are the power supplies external and really big.
Even with the Wii U, the power supply is external, but has an acceptable size.

Commissioning:
If everything is unpacked, then it'll finally start to put the console on the power and connect it to the TV via HDMI.
Who relies on a tube TV, which is the PS4 although can get up and running, but there is no way to connect the PS4 to a tube TV. If you want to upgrade to an HD TV anyway, who should make sure beforehand. :)
You can couple the PS4 with its TV. This means that if one turns his PS4, the TV automatically goes to, and the image of the PS4 automatically reproduces. Is really cool. :)
One can the PS4 also comfortable with the controller enable, if one is comfortable z. B. on the couch and the controller has to hand. ;)
But it was also in the Xbox 360 and the PS3 already like that. ;)

Thus, the console is running and now it's time to set up.
It is the language of the console, it connects (if possible) with its Internet (eg via WLAN. B.) and set up a PSN (PlayStation Network) an account. If you already have an account on his PS3 or PS Vita, so you can use it without any problems on the PS4.

After everything was set up, the console loads first download the latest system software and installs it.
I recommend everyone to perform this operation, because with each new version of the system software of the console some errors have been fixed and new features are added.

That's all done, then we can start!
A game in the Blu Ray Schacht fooled the PS4 and gamble! :)
Or would you rather watch a movie? No Problem!

PlayStation gates there is the "Amazon Instant Video" app, which you should download.
If you PRIME customer at Amazon, so you can watch a lot of movies and a whole series squadrons for free with this app via PS4. ;)
This is of course also with the PC and the PS3.

Controller:
The DualShock 4 controller lights up front in different colors.
If that light is too strong, can dim it a little.
Simply adjust the controller settings.
Full of it is not but.
The light shows z. B. in play at, if you have little energy (will turn red).
In addition, the controller has a speaker and in some games it serves to play special sound effects. ;)
I find quite cool. :)

A negative point, the controller, however ...
And suffer many controllers including that of the rubber to abbreibt the analog sticks at normal and especially in intensive use. One can be exchange at Sony support affected controller free.
I bought so-called "Thumb Grips" and pulled these caps over the rubber of the analog sticks.
Is really recommendable in itself and, above all these essays gibs quite favorable. :)

PlayStation Plus - what's that?
PS + is a special subscription that is presumed to be able to play online.
Without PS + so you can gamble only offline.
I recommend to anyone who enjoys playing online, three or equal to 12 months PS + to buy.
Who previously still had no PS3 or PS Vita and einsteigt directly with the PS4, which may breathe easy:
You get one month PS + for nothing, if you have created a new account.
In PS Store just click the free subscription and that's it. ;)
And what if I already have PS + on my PS3 or PS Vita?
It's simple: If we use the same PSN account on its PS4, one has of course run on the PS4 the PS + subscription. Is really cool that you get some free games every month. This may gamble one, as long as you have PS +. If the subscription has expired, can not start the game.
The solution: re-take out a subscription and you have again access to his free PS + Games.

Info on the edge:
Soon it will be possible that you can customize the design of the main menu of the PS4.
Also, and hopefully soon it will be possible that you can play as well on the PS3 MP3 (ie music).
Why this feature was not equal to it, I do not know.

My Conclusion:
I am very happy with my PS4 and have lots of fun with the console. :)
I use them not only for gaming but also look very much like movies on Blu Ray or Amazon Instant Video.
Anyone who has a PS3 (or had) will feel right at home. The technique is right and many games run at a resolution of 1080p (FullHD so). That was quite important to me when choosing my Current Gen console.
Monthly free games ensure that you always have to play something new.

One Xbox or PlayStation 4, the choice is yours. Ultimately, it is certainly a matter of taste, for which console you choose. Currently there are a few exclusive games for both consoles. I hope that this will change soon. :)

From me there is 5 out of 5 stars and a strong buy recommendation! :)
