    Awesome console, lots of sound bugs.

    I love my ps4 and this is coming from a prior PC gamer. The only issue I am really having is with the audio. The audio randomly cuts out, when I playing games, or even watching Netflix. Keep in mind that I am running the audio through optical out, into a 5.1 surround sound system. Also, the dual shock 4's battery life is terrible compared to the dual shock 3. It gives me about 6 hours of gameplay before I have to recharge. I choose Far Cry 4 from the bundle and I have not been dissapointed at all. I have a 4k tv that converts 1080p to nearly 4k and Far Cry just looks beautiful. I highly recommend this console over the Xbone.

    I bought the PS4 as a Christmas gift for my 15 year-old son. He was very surprised and immediately hooked it up to the TV. Setup was easy...he was able to do it by himself which was great. Setting up the controllers and doing the basic configuration of the system was also easy. Unfortunately the PS Network was down for a couple of days due to the hacking issue, but my son was able to play other games and watch movies right away. I've played a few of the sports games (Hockey and Basketball) and the graphics and speed are amazing! It was definitely worthwhile and is something that will get daily use around the house.

    Nice PS4 Bundle - Just Requires Tech Savviness!

    This bundle was a great offer - I liked the fact that you could pick one of the four games that they offered, whereas other bundles you don't have any option - just buy what you see! The only thing I disliked with this bundle is that once I chose the game I wanted (out of the 4 different options), it wasn't crystal-clear how to continue from that point, it took multiple calls to the support center, and also required you to "beat" a certain amount of levels before it was added to your repertoire of game choices! I couldn't believe you had to beat the level in order to own the game! I am new to Playstation Consoles & so working through this "fine-print" issue took some of my time. I don't see how this is a good fit for every consumer, what if you were purchasing this for a younger kid who wasn't able to achieve the requirements to own the game? It is nice to have your choice of game, but it also requires more knowledge and gaming skills than you would've known. I also say "fine print," because as far as I could tell they didn't even mention that you had to complete the level to own! Overall - I am happy with this purchase but the few snags along the way would have been nice to skip!

    This is my 2nd PS4 for my house and I got lucky when a competitor had the price listed for $329.99. So not only did I get a free $60.00 game, but I had it price matched and saved an additional $70.00. My only complaint with the PS4 is that Playstation really needs to work on their network. I’m sick of not being able to play games because of hacking and maintenance. Otherwise, It’s a good console with great graphics and I like the fact that you don’t have to pay extra for a charger kit for the controllers; unlike the Xbox One. One other thing to keep in mind is that you can only have one PS4 registered as your primary account, so if you buy digital games you will want to keep the one in the living room as your primary and the 2nd one not activated under your account so you don't have to double dip on games and DLC. The only downside to the second non activated console is that you can only play your downloaded games on your profile. So if any other profile on the second PS4 wants to play the games you purchased, they will have to play in your profile.

    I bought the bundle package with a free game.. I picked FryCr4. The graphics are the best I have seen. The game play is very smooth.. You don't notice any screen loading while moving through a large open environment. The PS4 looks good, I like the minimalist look, that hides the buttons and cd loader. The only thing I am disappointed about is that like XBox, PS4 now requires you to pay $50 a year to play online. The reason I started using PS systems was to avoid this fee. For the next generation console I will look at buying an Xbox instead since I have to pay the online fee anyway.

    I used to have the Playstation 2 back when some of the best games came out like Final Fantasy X. So, I have a lot of respect with Sony and their products. This console is no slouch. It has some pretty interesting and fun exclusives including but not limited to Uncharted, Little Big Planet, Infamous, Bloodborne, and The Last of Us. Not only can this bad boy play awesome games but it can also double up as one of the best Bluray players out there. It can also stream some of my favorite shows from Netflix, Hulu Plus and Amazon Prime. To be quite frank, this is an awesome console.

    I wasn't into video game consoles for a while but the great line up of PS Plus games and the amazing PS4 features and games made me have to get one. I am not a fan boy and understand and appreciate both the PS4 and Xbox One because I own them both and out of the two I must say PS4 is better. I play this console much more and plan to in the future. You can not go wrong buying this system unless you dislike video games or the person you are buying it for dislike video games. Does all features and everything advertised with more to come!!!

    What can I say. Got a great deal from bestbuy on this. Paid $349 with the pick one bundle and bestbuy even threw in a $50 headset. Another bonus was the $10 psn voucher. Great deal on next gen gaming. It does what I want a gaming console to do. It doesn't have all the extra apps xbone has but wasn't interested in all that. I wanted the best system to play new cutting edge games on and I feel I made the right choice. I have been diehard 360 since launch years ago. Went with Sony this time and don't regret it

    PS4 is great, don't know why I held out

    I was a hold out for over a year, but after talking to a Best Buy salesperson and endless badgering from my kids, we got a PS4 for Christmas. Now I'm hooked and don't know why we didn't get one sooner. Starts up immediately, the facial recognition is very cool, the voice commands are awesome, etc. Love the updated controllers and their functionality too. We also use it to do some web surfing, play all of our media apps (like vudu and netflix), love the navigation of the menu. Glad we finally upgraded.

    Unlike the Xbox One, the PlayStation 4 console actually feels like it was made for gamers. I've always loved the PlayStation controller and the PS4 controller is my favorite although I prefer the slightly smaller size of the PS3 controller. The motion control and sound effects that come from the PS4 controller are pretty cool depending on which game you play. If you pick up a PS4, I highly recommend also playing inFamous: Second Son. It's great fun and really shows off what the PS4 can do.

    PS4 - A Really Good Gaming Console from Sony

    I was a little bit skeptical of what to buy as this is my first ever console. I am more of a PC gamer and very much used to the keyboard and mouse. Using the console first time in my life and I wouldn't lie , although it was hard for me to get used to the controls - the feeling of it was amazing. I am still learning and adapting but this has been the best decision I made of buying Play Station 4. Lots of amazing games and apps - Can basically do anything. Totally love the overall interface.

    The Play Station 4 provides any user with an intense, both graphically and physically, amazing, and user-friendly experience. The trouble of purchasing this bundle was completely worth it. I was lied to by some of the employees at different stores, but in the end, I purchased it online and had it shipped to the store. This bundle allowed me to get my favorite game for free, I was really happy when I saw it. I would recommend this bundle to anyone who is interested in a Play Station 4.

    Playstation NW down....pricey investment!

    Purchased this for my husband for Christmas since he owns every other Playstation to date. He opened it on Christmas and was very surprised! We hooked it up the day after Christmas just to find out the Playstation Network had been hacked and had been down for over 3 days!! Really Sony?!?! So in other words, without the Playstation Network, this thing is a pricey blue-ray player. I was very much disappointed. However, when the NW was finally up, we got a chance to see what this thing could do. It is very fast, graphics are freaking amazing and the new layout is much more streamlined and user friendly. It's just a shame we didn't get to try it out immediately. Overall, I'm happy with my purchase, but this is a pricey investment....as with any gaming system. Games $60, additional controllers $60, headphones, cameras, etc.

    I was hesitate to drop so much money on a new game system going from Xbox 360 to Playstation 4, but it was worth every dollar I spent even though they got hacked and the online servers were shut down for a couple days during the holidays. The picture quality and realism this game system brings is definitely worth the money, plus its a Blu-ray player with app capabilities like a smartphone or smart TV. If you're looking to upgrade to a new game system it is definitely worth the money.

    PS4 is awesome. I have been a playstation person, so maybe I am biased, but the gameplay is great. I didn't know you had to pay a subscription fee for the Sony Network now, unlike PS3 which was free, and i do wish my PS3 games worked like the 3-2, but i understand that is incompatible technology. Don't hesitate on this. I don't think this bundle is still available but i still haven't downloaded a game so I would've just bout the regular package anyway.

    Great. So far no regrets. The interface is smooth and user friendly. I didn't think the DualShock3 could be improved upon, but somehow Sony did it. Graphics are amazing of course. I still love my PS3 and that's really the PS4's biggest problem. The PS3 is an all-in-one entertainment monster, and the PS4 has yet to get same the fully comprehensive collection of apps. Bottom line: What are you going to do, not get one? Definitely recommend over a Xbox.

    Im so excited to finally have purchased a PS4, now I can buy all of the 1st person shooters and PWN some NOOBS online and make them want to quit and return their games. I also love to watch Blu-Rays on this and I love the quality of the picture on my TV, also it runs so much more quiet than my PS3 which my kids so conveniently jammed 2 movies into and a credit card. it made it much easier to convince my wife that I needed a new one! PS4 FTW!!

    Best Nextgen Console

    I decided to wait a year and did some research before buying this console. I still own a 360, so I am not a fanboy of either system. After reading reviews, talking with friends, and playing on the 2 big nextgen consoles I went with the PS4. I liked the controllers better for the PS4, they fit better in my hand and the buttons seemed easier to reach. I liked the exclusive game selection better also, however I am going to miss Forza.
