    Sony PlayStation dankt allen PlayStation®-Fans und Geschäftspartnern
    Sony PlayStation präsentiert die PlayStation®4 (PS4™) 20th Anniversary Edition

    Sony Computer Entertainment Inc. (SCEI) präsentierte heute die PlayStation®4 (PS4™) 20th Anniversary Edition, eine Sonderausgabe der PS4 zum Anlass des 20. Jahrestages der Markteinführung der Original-PlayStation (PS) am 3. Dezember 1994. Die 20th Anniversary Edition wird weltweit auf 12.300 Geräte limitiert sein – eine Anzahl, die auf das ursprüngliche Veröffentlichungsdatum der Original-PS anspielt. Die Limited Edition PS4 und das Zubehör sind in der Farbe „Original Gray“ erhältlich und in einer speziellen Präsentationsbox verpackt.

    Das originale PlayStation-System erhielt bei der Veröffentlichung große Anerkennung für seine innovative Technologie. So waren die Fähigkeit hochauflösende 3D-Echtzeitgrafiken zu verarbeiten sowie das reichhaltige und spannende Spieleportfolio bis dahin einmalig bei Heimkonsolen. PlayStation revolutionierte die Branche und erreichte als erste Heimkonsole in der Geschichte der Videospiele eine weltweite Gesamtabsatzzahl von 100 Millionen Stück.* Als Computerunterhaltungssystem auf dem neuesten Stand der Technik brachte die Original-PS Gamern rund um die Welt bahnbrechende Spielerlebnisse. Seither hat jede PlayStation-Plattform dieses Konzept fortgeführt.

    „In 20 Jahren hat PlayStation etwas erreicht, was nur wenige andere Brands geschafft haben: unser Markenname wird weltweit als Synonym für Spielekonsolen genutzt“, sagt Uwe Bassendowski, Managing Director von Sony Computer Entertainment Deutschland. „Besonders stolz sind wir im deutschsprachigen Raum natürlich auf die große Popularität und den unglaublichen Zuspruch unserer Fans – der gerade erst erreichte Meilenstein von einer Million verkauften PS4-Systemen in Deutschland in weniger als einem Jahr unterstreicht dies. Deshalb möchten wir das Jubiläum auch nutzen, um uns von ganzem Herzen bei allen PlayStation-Fans für ihre Treue, ihre Begeisterung und ihre Unterstützung zu bedanken.“

    „Die PlayStation 4 20th Anniversary Edition ist ein ganz besonderes Modell, sie ist eine Hommage an die Original-PlayStation, die Vorbild für jede weitere in den letzten zwei Jahrzehnten veröffentlichte PlayStation-Plattform war. Die Limited Edition PS4 bietet langjährigen PlayStation-Fans ein nostalgisches Erlebnis und jenen, die die Orginalkonsole noch nie in der Hand hatten, eine neue Erfahrung“, ergänzt Andrew House, President und Group CEO von Sony Computer Entertainment, Inc. „Wir freuen uns darauf, die Zukunft von PlayStation in den nächsten Jahren gemeinsam zu gestalten und aufzubauen. Dabei bleiben wir unserem Ziel treu, Gamern auf der ganzen Welt das beste Spielerlebnis und die beste Plattform für Spiele zu bieten.“

    Daher wird SCE die PlayStation-Range noch weiter ausbauen, um Unterhaltungserlebnisse möglich zu machen, die es nur bei PlayStation gibt.

    Besondere Merkmale der PlayStation®4 20th Anniversary Edition
    Das Erscheinungsbild gleicht der Original-PS. PS4, der Wireless Controller (DUALSHOCK®4), die PlayStation®Camera, der vertikale Stand und das Mono-Headset sind in der Farbe „Original Gray” gehalten, eine limitierte Farbe, die an die Originalkonsole erinnert. Die Etiketten der PS-Familie sind am PS4-System, am DUALSHOCK®4 und der PlayStation®Camera angebracht. Die Farbkombination erinnert ebenfalls an die Original-PS.

    cc

    Mit Sorgfalt entwickelte Details
    Die PS4 selbst und die Oberfläche des DUALSHOCK®4 Controller-Touchpads sind mit dem „△2○×□” Schema ausgestattet, einer besonderen Anordnung der „△○×□” Kennzeichnung, wobei „○” der Zahl „0” ähnelt, ein Hinweis auf das 20-jährige Jubiläum. Außerdem ist auf der Vorderseite jedes Systems in der unteren rechten Ecke eine Plakette angebracht, auf der eine Zahl von 1 bis 12.300 eingraviert ist. Diese einzigartige Zahl wird die glücklichen Besitzer daran erinnern, dass ihre PS4 ein Unikat ist.

    Besondere Verpackung
    Alle Elemente, auch der vertikale Stand, sind in einer einfachen, aber eindrucksvollen Präsentationsbox verpackt. Diese Box befindet sich in einer weißen Hülle, in deren Mitte das 20th Anniversary-Logo gedruckt ist.

    Die limitierte PS4-Jubiläums-Edition ist in Österreich nicht im Handel erhältlich, sondern ausschließlich über Gewinnspiele mit ausgewählten Medienpartnern, über die PlayStation Social Media Kanäle und im Rahmen von Charity-Aktionen verfügbar.

    Answering a question by a PS Blog userSony’s community manager Matthew Harper recommended a 5Mb per second connection (minimum) to use the upcoming cloud-gaming service PlayStation Now:

    We recommend a 5MBPS+ connection. In our internal tests, users with this bandwidth or greater have been enjoying a low latency, high-quality gaming experience. PS Now tests your connection of each game and optimizes for quality if you are above the minimum requirements. We strive to make the gameplay experience feel as if the game is being played locally on their device – fast and responsive (including for FPS and games with twitch mechanics). The Closed Beta will definitely provide a great opportunity to test the experience with gamers with varying connection speeds and our developers will, of course, be working diligently to optimize the service based upon the feedback we receive from the community.

  • PS4 voucher code redemption is working again

    PS4 voucher code redemption is working again

    Reading Time: 2 minutes

    Good news people, it seems that the Voucher redemption functionality that was disabled this last Friday was activated again. Check out Sony’s official blog post update:

    icon_xl

    UPDATE 3 (9.09pm GMT, 1st December): We have been working on the PSN service roll-out throughout the weekend and are continually increasing the availability of the voucher redemption functionality. The next phase of the roll out is to introduce the What’s New Activity Feed and Live Item in the Content Information Screen, which we will be able to update you on tomorrow. Thank you for your continued patience as we manage PSN to restore full service.

     

    UPDATE 2 (9.22pm GMT, 30th November): Users will be aware that core network stability has returned throughout today and we are beginning the next phase of PSN service roll-out e.g. users will soon be able to progressively see the content info area for game titles. Voucher redemption continues to be controlled in order to cope with volume. We will have an update tomorrow. Thank you for your patience as we manage PSN to restore full service.

    UPDATE 1 (11.22am GMT, 30th November): We are making progress in identifying the source of the current PSN disruption. Currently sign up, sign in, trials, store, online gameplay, share and community functionality is available. Redeem voucher is still not open to users. Further updates will be posted later today.

    ORIGINAL POST: We are aware that users are experiencing some disruption to the PSN service. To minimise the inconvenience we have suspended the “redeem voucher” functionality whilst we investigate further. Unfortunately this means that money cards, product vouchers, PlayStation Plus vouchers, PS3-PS4 upgrade vouchers and any other vouchers for digital content are not redeemable at this stage. Other PSN features such as log-in, online multi-player gaming, PlayStation Plus trial, PS Store (excluding voucher redemption), trophies, messages, friends etc. are all available.

    We apologise and will provide an update to this announcement soon.

    DualShock 4 (DS4) PlayStation 4 / PS4 Controller Teardown, Details

    Reading Time: 2 minutes

    Following up on the PlayStation 4 / PS4 Teardown, today frank26080115 has made available a teardown in pictures of the DualShock 4 (DS4) PlayStation 4 / PS4 controller and details below.


    To quote: DualShock 4

    Hardware

    Teardown photo album: imgur.com/a/ytRW5

    The USB port and LED are on one separate board, connected using a flat flexible cable, this cable is connected to a vertical FFC connector that does not have a locking mechanism.

    The touchpad sensor is also detachable, connected using a flat flexible cable, this cable is connected to the main PCB using a connector that has a flip-up locking mechanism.

    The speaker is not removable and it connects to the main PCB using some raised contacts.

    The battery is 3.65V 1000mAH Li-ion.

    Main microcontroller is a Spansion MB9BF002, a ARM Cortex M3 core, BGA package. The reset and SWD signals might be exposed to test points, I am not sure.

    The Bluetooth module shows „8LA18366“ and „GS-WCM-01“ (or maybe it’s „GS-WCN-01“) and „VR2.0“. There is also a QR code that I can’t decipher yet. There are a lot of test points near it.

    There’s a chip marked with „BD9200“ (in QFN 32 pin footprint) that might be a PMIC because it has some thick traces around it, plus a big inductor. One of the pins near it read 6V, might be for the motor.

    There’s a shiny small square chip left of the left analog stick, it is marked with „7710“ „325A1“, I have no idea what this is, but there’s some differential signals coming out of it, it might be USB, the activity stops when I disconnect the USB cable. I think this is connected to the USB port. I suspect this is a OTG chip.

    There’s a rectangular (maybe LGA) chip on the bottom side on the left, marked with „134“ „A1322“ „333“, possibly a sensor. It’s got some sort of latch signal around it, or maybe it’s a weird clock. It’s slow and doesn’t seem like a bus. Or it could be a shift register and it’s reading blank because I’m not pressing buttons.

    There’s a QFN 32 pin chip marked with „WM18016“ (the M could be a N, the 6 could be a G) „36A0LM6“ dead center on the bottom side of the PCB. It has a sine wave logo on it (possibly Wolfson Microelectronics). It is near the audio stuff but it is also near where all the buttons connect. There are 5 test points near it. It appears to be communicating with SPI with constant activity. There’s also two resistors that look like I2C pull-up resistors, and there appears to be constant I2C traffic.

    Some buttons are active low, some are active high (maybe only the thumbstick push buttons). The sheet of flexible circuit for the buttons are active low.

    Playstation 4 Thermal Images

    Reading Time: 4 minutes

    With today being the launch of the Sony Playstation 4, I figured I’d take some infrared shots of it in action. Using the new FLIR E8 Thermal Camera with MSX®, I’ve got some great shots to look at. Remember, computers and electronics get hot, but this will show you how the PS4 handles and vents that heat.

     

    „Bottom“ side of the Playstation 4 Just after unpacking and running the firmware update.

     

    „Top Side“ of the PS4, just after unpacking and running firmware update (on for about 5-7 minutes at this point). Note that the top part of the PS4 in this picture has a different emissivity than the lower, so, the temp measurements on the top won’t be as accurate.

     

    The Playstation 4 has been on for about 10-12 minutes at this point as I move around the menus, and start adding my PSN profile.

     

    This is after 5 minutes of standby, with a controller plugged in for charge.

     

    The top part of the PS4 after about 10 minutes of Killzone.

     

    The „bottom“ side after 10 minutes of Killzone.

     

    Here you can see the vents heating up to around 121º F

     

    30 minutes later, the top surface of the PS4 is still holding around 114º F degrees at its peak.

     

    And finally, the bottom side of the Playstation is at 121º F.

     

    The vents however, are now up to 143º F after 30 minutes of running Killzone, which is totally a reasonable spec!

     

    UPDATE: A few folks asked for thermal of it lying flat – these two photos are about after 20 minutes of playing Killzone.

     

    Highest temp read on the vent is around 126º F, a little cooler than when it was vertical, but the play time was a little bit shorter. I’ll be taking more photos as the weekend progresses, so keep checking back!

     

    UPDATE 2:

    The hottest the vents have gotten in its flat position while playing Killzone, appear to be around 138/140º F, so a few degrees cooler, but close to where it was when it was vertical. The top surface still stays at a consistent 110-114º F.

     

    UPDATE 3: Been playing for over 3 hours now, with the PS4 comfortable in my home theater cabinet in its flat position. The Playstation remains a little under the temperature it was when I was around 30 minutes in, which is around ~133ºF/56ºC.

  • PlayStation 4 Bricking Reports, PS4 Launch Errors List and Fixes Out

    PlayStation 4 Bricking Reports, PS4 Launch Errors List and Fixes Out

    Reading Time: 3 minutes

    Here’s a list of issues plaguing the PlayStation 4 at launch, and how to fix them.

    Astro A50s: Cannot Hear Other People Speaking

    Everything appears to be hunky-dory with the Astro A50s, with the sound coming through the headphones just as you would expect, except for received chat audio. You can talk through the headset, but you can’t hear others speaking.

    A possible fix for this issue is to do the following:

    1. Hold Home Button
    2. Adjust Devices
    3. Output to headphones -> All Audio

    DualShock 4 R1 Button Sticking

    There are several reports that units of the DualShock 4 appear to sport defective R1 buttons. After just a few hours of play, the R1 button seems to stick.

    Dual Shock 4 R1 button defective after only 10 hours play.+

    Remember to keep your receipt so you can return these to the store for an exchange.

    PS4 Won’t Turn On, Bricking Issue

    There been a few reports that players who received their PS4 via the Taco Bell contest doesn’t properly turn on, or off (once you manage to get it running). Here’s what the symptoms are like:

    The PS4 won’t show a picture, but the blue light pulses. It tries to load data from the hard disk drive, but it doesn’t – so it doesn’t load into the operating system.

    Retail PS4 Faulty out of Box


    Here’s a not-so-simple fix that appears to alleviate the issue:

    1. You have to unplug your HDD
    2. Boot the console without HDD and it will load Safe Mode (white lightbar) and asks for a HDD
    3. Turn off, plug in the HDD again and boot the console again
    4. PS4 will boot into Safe Mode again and you can recover now the necessary OS Data, PS4 will start again and will boot into OS again.

    From GamingBolt.comHere is What You Can Do When The PS4 Does Not Boot

    A Twitch user (twitch.tv/hi11zones) recently faced a problem with his PlayStation 4. The console wouldn’t switch on and was essentially bricked. However, there are solutions for fixing this issue.

    First off, check your HDMI signal. If that doesn’t work, switch off your console and remove the HDD. Boot up in Safe Mode (indicated by a white lightbar on the controller) and when prompted for an HDD, turn the console off, plug the HDD in and then turn the console on again. It will again appear in Safe Mode and will recover the OS data before starting up like normal.

    If that doesn’t work, you’ll need to format your HDD and reinstall the relevant firmware. Keep in mind that the Twitch user above faced issues even with the prescribed steps. Make sure to get your HDD checked in that case.

    A Sony representative has provided the following statement to IGN: „A handful of people have reported issues with their PlayStation 4 systems. This is within our expectations for a new product introduction, and the vast majority of PS4 feedback has been overwhelmingly positive. We are closely monitoring for additional reports, but we think these are isolated incidents and are on track for a great launch.

    There have been several problems reported, which leads us to believe there isn’t a singular problem that could impact a broader percentage of systems. The number of affected systems represents less than .4% of shipped units to date, which is within our expectations for a new product introduction.“

    Correction: Note that the statement originally provided to IGN by Sony mistakenly said „.04%.“ A Sony representative has now confirmed to IGN that this figure was provided in error, and it has been corrected to „.4%.“

    Blizzard considering Diablo 3 remote play on Vita

    Reading Time: < 1 minute

    Ladies and gentleman, this is a good one. It seems that Blizzard is in the earliest stages of looking into the possibility of supporting Vita Remote Play for the PlayStation 4 version of Diablo 3.

    icon_xl

    Julie Humphreys, Diablo 3 console senior producer unveiled at BlizzCon 2013 that Blizzard is considering the feature at the moment.

    “One of the really cool features that comes built-in with the PS4 is this concept of remote play, so you can stream the gameplay that is happening on the PS4 over to your Vita screen. That is something we are looking into,” she said.

    “I would say we are in the earliest stages of looking at that. We want to make sure that it is readable and is a good user experience.”
