PS4 - First experiences

I'm almost a month late in acquiring my own PS4, I wasn't even supposed to be getting it until next year, however, it seems luck has been on my side and I got the call today to say it had arrived!



I thought it would only be fair to write this post whilst I am first using the console, to get the 'freshest' emotions and thoughts noted down. It's 8:30pm, first impressions are good, the interface is simple and familiar, and the console sits looking very sleek in my TV cabinet, it feels good to have a next gen console in the household!

Right this second at 8:55pm as I wait to connect to the PSN (PlayStation Network) I would say that I'm experiencing quite a lull in my excitement levels as I begin to question whether or not I will get to use the console tonight. Not only had I forgot my password (seeing as I hadn't used my PS3 in a long time), but have been struggling to get it reset. The PSN must be having some serious issues tonight, which really is serious, because it's almost a month after launch, things should be stable now, or at least more so than on release. I am actually getting some 'deja-vu' back from when SimCity was released, and how unstable it's first months were.

After some persistence, it is 9:21pm when I first manage to log into PSN after a good half hour of trying (yay). 'Knack' is the first title I got with the console, I feel like there is such a small selection of games to choose from... or maybe that's just me, I don't want to play another Call of Duty or Battlefield, First Person Shooters have never been my favourite genre, I want something fresh! On with Knack!
