It's even better knowing they have to pay to play online.
Enjoy your mediocrity !

Was this post necessary? Based on the posts in the thread its clear that there's a lot of people here that like console gaming. Let us enjoy what we like and you enjoy what you like. There's no need to come in here are crap all over our parade.
When it comes to resolution I'm really happy that most games on the PS4 are 1080p. I've got one of the larger TVs (80") and the higher resolution makes games look really nice.
As for impressions so far....
Before I plugged the machine in I added a new hard drive. It was a painless process though I had some difficulty opening the shiny part of the console. I didn't want to get finger prints all over it so I wore gloves but they didn't give me a great grip. If you have finger prints or scratches on that part I recommend picking up Plexus plastic polish. It'll clean that shiny part up really nice.
Once the drive was in I unplugged the PS3 and used the same cables in the PS4, everything booted up fine, and the update ran successfully. I didn't see any metal things popping up in the HDMI port.
Menu navigation is quite speedy. I noticed this especially in the Playstation store. On the PS3 the navigation seemed a bit slow but the PS4 is very snappy. I downloaded Resogun and the other free game.
I purchased Need for Speed Rivals, Killzone, Knack, Assassin's Creed 4, and Marvel Lego Heroes. The first game I tried was NFS. The graphics are very nice. There seems to be a lot going on: leaves flying around, crazy lighting, water splashing, etc. It's a real visual treat and it's fun! I asked my wife to sit with me for a bit while I played and her favourite part of the game was the fact that the light on the controller changes depending on whether you're playing a cop (blue light) or rival (red light).
I was pretty tired so I didn't have a chance to try the other games. I'll try more today and leave a few more impressions.
