If I'm one of the two guys in that statement, no.
I was just trying to make a joke about the system and spying, you can breathe easy I don't give a rats ass what anyone likes but me. Most of my time is on the PS4 as well. You're confusing me with someone else on this forum...

Again was just a joke, nothing personal was meant by it.

Well, for one, it didn't really upset me or anything. I was just saying I don't have a bunch of negativity.

And secondly, I still don't get it, so I must be even older and crankier.

It was never an issue for me but with the update, although dim you can't quite turn it all off. What's the point?

Right now I can see the reflection on the bezel of my TV...if I can dim it, that will be lessened. I'm all for it.

I guess it just dims, but does not turn off.

Here is what someone created to help mask it :

Yeah, I have a plasma and at times it can really reflect off the TV depending on where I'm sitting. I think if it dims down to the yellow when you're charging a controller, it will be a lot better.

Goodness. Infamous is pretty much what I was expecting in a next gen title. Absolutely awesome looking.

Is Infamous a good game or does it just look good?

Damn good so far. You just notice the huge graphical jump first and foremost.

Incredible all the way around, IMO. The graphics are unbelievable, but the semi-more-believable parkour than something like AC where you just press one button to climb up a wall is nice, too. Having to find footholds and use the X button to get from ledge to ledge is a bit better to me.

After you level up your powers and start getting into heavy combat, it's got some good pacing, too. I'm constantly going back and forth between offense and defense, and when you get missiles and crazy bomb attacks and all sorts of stuff from the air, you start to feel like a superhero. Right about that time, you get new power sets and it starts all over again.

Considering it's such an open world, the graphics are even more impressive, though. And finding all of the stuff to find in each neighborhood is fun and addicting, too. It just hits all the "awesome" buttons for me so far.

Sony raise the price of PS4 in Canada but it has absolutely no impact since there are no PS4s available to buy in Canada. Strange marketing tactic that - did Microsoft slip an agent into Sony Canada because right now the only next gen console available is Microsofts.

That's how it is here too...can't find PS4s anywhere unless you get really lucky. Basically anything that comes off the assembly line gets sold. You can find XB1s wherever you go. Does MS just have a larger factory output or do people just prefer the PS4...sales suggest the latter, but who knows for sure.

I'd have thought that it would be the latter as well but the store reps are telling me that they've not had even a sniff of a ps4 since before the new year. Maybe Sony held back a lot of production for their Japan launch and perhaps Microsoft are shipping to fewer countries?

Can't remember a product shortage that lasted this long or was this extensive. Maybe Sony were much more conservative on demand projections or perhaps there is some re-jigging of the hardware going on.

Bizarre

If I didn't really like the first Infamous is there anything in the new one that would change my mind? Feeling the need to buy something for one of my new consoles.

I never played the ps3 versions more than about a half hour. Already put a few hours into this one and can't wait for more. It's advanced the series significantly. So yes.

I think Infamous is great, but I worry about it getting repetitive. The story and visuals are excellent, but I'm sure this will be another game I play for a few hours and get my fill of enjoyment. Unfortunately, game just don't seem to hold my attention like they once did...sports games being the exception.

I'd be more inclined to buy if there was an online component.

This would be a rental or wait until it drops in price.

Same. With that being said, this is the first game in a long time that I've sat down and had that pull to come back and play it constantly. I can't recall the last time I sat down when a weekend started with a game, and played it seemingly non-stop until 100% complete. Found every camera, shard, power, stencil art, secret agent, side mission, etc.

And now I'm immediately turning around and starting it again as the flip side Karma to see how that shakes out.
