Amazon wouldn't post my review about my BLOD. Maybe I will pick one up when it becomes available in Korea in December, but it seems like there aren't any real stand out games that I am missing out on. At this point the PS4 seems like something just to experiment with until the really good games start rolling out.

 

I forgot to mention the packing on mine too. The box was too big and the bubble wrap loosely placed in the box. My box had been taped up a second time so I guess the PS4 slid around against the top during transit until it finally just broke out of the box, and USPS put it back in and taped the box back up. That could of been the cause of my BLOD too.

I remember when mine showed that..  Started at 6AM on the 15th... ended at 11PM on the 15th (when it did finally ship).  I checked the status every hour.  Yep.. was 3 days after launch before I actually got it.

3 days, yay! Got my copy of AC4 from Currys for ?26. There was a ?20 off xboxone code that wasn't suppose to go public, looks like Currys honored most of the purchases with it as well.

 

At launch I'll have KZ, AC4, Resogun and all the other PS+/PS3 title ports (likes of Flower/Sound Shapes).

 

 

Assassin's Creed series has never been my thing.  I tried to give the AC-I and AC:II a whirl.... Could never get into the series...

Glad everyone is getting there consoles now. I feel bad, I got mine on launch day and I've barely touched it. Work has been absolutely ridiculous, and now that I'm actually home on Thanksgiving I have a ton of things to catch up on at the house. :laugh: Hoping to get to play a little later.

A note for anyone getting their ps4 in Europe:

http://blog.eu.playstation.com/2013/11/28/psn-on-playstation-4-at-launch/

They are disabling a couple features to try and avoid psn downtime.

Don't worry though, they will be back up in a few days. Your not missing much though

I swear we had a PS4/Vita bundle topic, but Sony have confirmed the offer. Although it will only be a "soft" bundle, i.e not in the box, but sold together. Costs ~?500, which isn't great since you can buy a Vita for ?99 at HMV right now.

      If they don't sell enough of the 1st gen then there won't be a 2nd gen

      Epic fail, should've added an eSata port on the back, also if the memory/NVME are soldered then they're hardly gonna sell any, first thing most people do with their Steamdeck is, or used to be, replacing the NVME with a 2TB one.

    • GEEKOM kicks off Prime Day Sale with discounts up to 30% on Intel and AMD mini PCs

      By Steven P. · Posted

      GEEKOM kicks off Prime Day Sale with discounts up to 30% on Intel and AMD mini PCs by Steven Parker GEEKOM has kicked off its Prime Day Sale letting you save up to 30% on mini PCs in every price class. Below we are sharing a few highlights from the A series of AMD mini PCs, along with an Intel variant with pretty beefy specs. We start off with the very affordable GEEKOM A5 in the AMD Ryzen 5 7430U, 16GB RAM, and 512GB NVMe SSD configuration, with some of its highlighted specs listed below: Operating System: Windows 11 Pro CPU Model: AMD Ryzen 5 7430U CPU Speed: 3.5 GHz Cache Size: 16 MB Graphics: Integrated AMD Radeon Vega 7 Graphics Memory: 16 GB 3200 MT/s DDR4 Copilot+ PC: No SSD: 512 GB Connectivity: Bluetooth 5.2 + WiFi 6E I never got the chance to review this variant, but here is how GEEKOM describes it: GEEKOM A5 [Ryzen 5 7430U, 16GB+512GB] for $371 —was $439 (15% off) Next up is the GEEKOM A6 in the AMD Ryzen 7 6800H, 16GB DDR5 RAM, with a 1TB PCIe 4.0 NVMe SSD configuration, with the below highlights: Operating System: Windows 11 Pro CPU Model: AMD Ryzen 7 6800H CPU Speed: 4.7 GHz Cache Size: 16 MB Graphics: Integrated AMD Radeon 680M Memory: 16 GB 4800 MT/s DDR5 Copilot+ PC: No SSD: 1 TB Connectivity: Bluetooth 5.2 + WiFi 6E I gave the A6 high marks in my dedicated review from just over a year ago; GEEKOM has this to say about this compact Mini PC: GEEKOM A6 [Ryzen 7 6800H, 16GB+1TB] for $524 —was $649 (19% off) Next up is the MAX variant of A-series mini PCs in the Prime Day Sale. The GEEKOM A7 MAX [2026 Edition] powered by the AMD Ryzen 9 7940HS with 16GB of DDR5 and a 1TB SSD. Below are some of its more important specifications: Operating System: Windows 11 Pro CPU Model: AMD Ryzen 9 7940HS CPU Speed: 5.2 GHz Cache Size: 24 MB Graphics: Integrated AMD Radeon 780M Memory: 16 GB 5600 MT/s DDR5 Copilot+ PC: No SSD: 1 TB Connectivity: Bluetooth 5.2 + WiFi 6E I reviewed this Mini PC a year and a half ago, and praised it for its modern internals like a dedicated NPU and DDR5 memory, as such it is more than capable of keeping up with today's offerings of Mini PC on the market. GEEKOM A7 MAX [Ryzen 9 7940HS, 16GB+1TB] for $594 —was $699 (15% off) Next we have another in the MAX series of A mini PC. The GEEKOM A9 MAX powered by the AMD Ryzen AI HX 470 with 32GB DDR5 and a 2TB SSD. Below are some of its more important specifications: Operating System: Windows 11 Pro CPU Model: AMD Ryzen 9 AI HX 470 CPU Speed: 5.4 GHz Cache Size: 24 MB Graphics: Integrated AMD Radeon 890M NPU: 55 TOPS Copilot+ PC: Yes (combined NPU+CPU=86 TOPS) Memory: 32GB 5600 MT/s DDR5 SSD: 2 TB Connectivity: Bluetooth 5.4 + WiFi 7 We reviewed this Mini PC last month, also in the 64GB configuration. Be sure to check out both reviews before dropping this kind of money on it, you won't be sorry! I praised it for its excellent NPU (AI) performance and premium all-metal build, as such it is more than capable of keeping up with today's offerings of Mini PC on the market. GEEKOM A9 MAX [Ryzen AI 9 470 HX, 32GB+2TB] for $1,444 —was $1,699 (19.72% off) Last but not least we have the GEEKOM IT13 MAX, which is an Intel configuration featuring the Ultra 9 185H with 16GB DDR5 memory and a 1TB SSD. Below are some of its more important specifications: Operating System: Windows 11 Pro CPU Model: Intel Ultra 9 185H (65W TDP) CPU Speed: 5.1 GHz Cache Size: 24 MB Graphics: Integrated Intel ARC Graphics Copilot+ PC: No Memory: 16GB 5600MT/s DDR5 SSD: 1 TB Connectivity: Bluetooth 5.4 + WiFi 7 I never got a chance to review the IT13 MAX, but I did review the GEEKOM X14 Pro which has comparable specifications if you want to get an idea of the IT13 MAX's capabilities. In any case this is what GEEKOM has to say about this variant: GEEKOM IT13 MAX [Intel U9 185H, 16GB+2TB] for $764 —was $899 (15% off) Check out other US and UK deals too These are just a sample of discounts in GEEKOM's Prime Day Sale, you can check out the entire line up, which include more Intel and AMD mini PCs, discounted at up to 30% off, which was more than the recent Spring Sale they ran earlier this year.
