This sort of thing is a pain, and is the reason why I didn't buy day 1. There are usually problems with clowns on on-line games; look at the crazy cheating on Destiny's Trials of Osiris. Will definitely give The Division a look, but will wait a while I reckon.
Glitch is annoying, but for a ps+ freebie i'm really impressed.I'm dying a lot and not getting wound up, which can only be a good sign. Game is funny as well.
I have heard these tales of woe from people too. I can't bring myself to think about gaming in this way, as I know it would ruin it for me. I have always had a policy of rarely buying new releases. I don't have any platinum trophies (oh, the shame) despite having played a large number of games. I don't finish stuff I don't enjoy, and steer clear of 'Dark Souls' level of difficulty stuff. In summary I really enjoy gaming.
No launch day games for me at all any more. I always avoid the hype and wait for some user reviews, as well as pro ones. The game will still be there a few weeks after launch; no probs!
No I wouldn't like this idea. It seems to me that they would then have you over a barrel with regard to what they charged for these upgrades. I would guess that you would end up paying a lot more over, say, 5 years, than you would probably be happy with. The current system suits me fine.
Would love external HDD support, but not holding out too much hope really. Folders would be useful, but not sure why it's quite so popular in the poll? Overall I am happy with the latest firmware update.
Not sure about this game at all. Will definitely wait for a while for some user reviews before coughing up that sort of cash. Will be doing the same with The Division. I've ridden on the hype express too many times in the past
I also want a new ES game. Fallout 4 hasn't grabbed me in the way I had hoped it would, and ES Online is ok, but what I really want is a Skyrim style game but 2 x size and with much better combat mechanics. We can dream...
Will do what I always do and wait for player reviews before buying The Division. Been caught by hype too many times in the past. Had to stop playing Destiny before TTK as they were bleeding me dry with DLC prices; this looks like it might be similar.
I dropped Destiny just before TTK was released, due to my issues with pricing. I wouldn't go back to it now, but would consider playing a sequel. It would have to be a more substantial game from the get go than Destiny though, and with a more friendly pricing model for existing players; not like the TTK debacle. I think that Bungie really let themselves, and players, down with their pricing on Destiny DLC.

Re: The Division's PS4 Trophies Touch Down in Manhattan
+1 on Dad's Army. I don't really care too much about trophies, but will wait and see reviews first and what players think before committing.
Re: Talking Point: What Are You Playing This Weekend? - Issue 108
SMITE, Broforce and Killzone Shadowfall.

Re: No Man's Sky Has a Confirmed Release Date on PS4
I'm worried that it will turn out to be endless, randomly generated boredom. Hope not though.
Re: Sony Touts Great Games for Great Prices in New EU PSN Sale
Nice. Just grabbed Black Flag for £12.49. Never got around to playing it before so well pleased.

Re: There Are Some Secret Features in PS4 Firmware Update v3.50
In light of the fact that so many people want to change their user ID, I would love to see a list of what their current names are
Any addition to the update is good for me.

Re: Broforce's PS4 Launch Trailer Shows Why It's a PlayStation Plus Winner
Serious old school, lol.
Re: PS4 Firmware Update 3.50 Adds Friend Notifications and Offline Status
All sounds good to me. Would still like external HDD support though. Also, I actually would like folders; but not urgently
