A bunch of random shit. First still playing I am Setsuna and 7th Dragon and loving both of them. 

My PS4 is still f'ed up. It refuses to start approx. once a week and requires unplugging the power cable from the wall, waiting a minute and then plugging it back in. Faulty power supply would me my guess. I was contemplating adding the two year Sony warranty but the internets tell me that if you send a limited edition console to Sony for repair they send you back a refurbished black PS4 which is hardly fair when you've paid for a special one.

I bought a 2 TB drive for the thing today from Amazon. I have 28 GB left on my 500 GB drive and that's just not enough.

In game purchases I picked up The Witcher Wild Hunt from PSN on sale for 30 bucks. I also bought Dark Cloud 2 for 6 bucks.

PSN on PC has stopped letting me buy games for whatever reason. Tells me an error has occured. I can only buy them from my consoles. Apparently this is common. Adding funds from Paypal tells me my credit card info is invalid. Works just fine on a console though.

That's what I've been doing lately. How 'bout you?

personally I would send the PS4 back even if they send you a standard one.  Why deal with the annoyance, and plus it will probably totally die one of these days. That 500 gb hard drive does fill up fast though, don't it?

30 bucks is good for Witcher 3.  I think that's what I spent. Haven't played it yet though.  I bought a humble bundle the other day. rarely do that, but I wanted this game called Tharsis and Space Engineers.  

I'm doing good.  I recorded my poetry book into an audio book with music and I liked it so much that I've started doing the same thing with "The Cardboard Spaceship".  I can sell them on amazon and audible.  

Nice to hear from you.

Beer!

Oh cool! Audio. That's how I get a lot of reading done these days.

yeah man, it is SO fun.  I always kind of imagined doing it, but I had no idea how fun it is. Really happy with it so far.

Dark Cloud 2. I bought it on disc for $50 just before it appeared on PSN, darn it! I'm not too upset though. I can't wait to play it.

That's too bad! I only ever had an issue with PS3 slim, after many years of use I suppose the hard fall it took from a high shelf factored into it. I recentley dismantled and cleaned up the inside and it came back to life. The only time I've had an issue with hardware was with the first amazon kindle tablet which had a fucked up screen. I ended up having to ship two of them back before it finally worked. I do love and still use the kindel tablet version 1.0.

That utterly sucks its still acting up, I never had any major issues with my previous PS4. I really wanna buy one but with Neo being announced around the corner in September I feel it would be a waste. I need to buy a extra drive for Xbox One, I almost have 1 TB used.

Man what is up with all these faulty special PS4s, and now not being able to buy games on PC. Have you tried the phone app? You are a better man than me because I would have given up at this point.

Ugh, that blows about the PS4. Non-Nintendo consoles can sometimes be spotty. I still have my launch PS4 and it's still working perfectly. I'm keeping my fingers crossed. My PS1 and PS2 lasted two years before they started giving me disc read errors, while my PS3 lasted a long time before yellow-lighting.  The only Nintendo console I ever had fail on me was a Nintendo 64 (still outlived my PS1 though!). My launch Game Boy still works and that thing has taken almost as much punishment as the Gulf War Game Boy!

It's most annoying to me that two different U4 LE PS4s from two different stores in two different cities both suffer from the same affliction.

I can't even return it to the store anymore because that particular model is no longer available here in London, Ontario.
