Yum. When you get it back, immediately sign up for PS+ and manually back up your game saves to the cloud. Plus games played after that will prompt if you want the saves saved to the cloud. Most of these "fixes" are temporary. I even had a reballing done which I think is the more intuitive soldering one (I'll research again if anyone needs more detail) and it only lasted a few months even though I have warranty. The PS3's will only drop and by the time it dies again just get another. Should drop to under $200 by next year at retail.
By the way, this weekend I played like 3 hours straight of The Walking Dead. What a fucking awesome game. The story lines are great. Helps me with my regular TV show fix. Also I got God of War Ascension for $10 shipped off Gamefly and that game is fun as hell too.

Needs a 930
They both look good IMO (cod&bf4) but I keep having problems playing bf4 and since it's all online I can't do anything with the game. Makes me want to let that kid smash mine

BF4 graphics are pretty impressive, Ghost graphics on the other hand not so much IMO and that's MP not sure about campaign.

$50 a year for PS+ but you get a free full game each month and discounts on games, it's kinda worth it.

Unfortunately, the Isuzu also survived.

Given how much that guy lost, I hope srika didn't scalp him TOO much. Only a $34.50 profit instead of $100...?

If you got mad balla tyte internet digital might be the way to go...
PCPer did some testing between the stock HDD, an SSD and a hybrid drive now known as an SSHD. Part 1 looked at using disc only versions of game and got these results.

Then they compared it to a download only version

Downloading versus Blu-ray Installing
It surprised me, but there is definitely a performance advantage to installing your games from the PSN (and going all digital) compared to installing from a Blu-ray. Obviously the PS4 is doing some kind of checks with the disc in the drive on a semi-regular basis and not simply checking it once during game load time. It it were, and if the data downloaded were the same as the data copied from the disc, then load times should be identical; they aren't.

I'm behind on my games thanks to like 4 years of Rock Band 2 and 3 But I rarely buy at full price. I think only Rocksmith 2014 which is a fucking deal and half and Rock Band 3 did i buy at full price.

I'm really surprised the Seagate and Corsair are slower being that they're SSD's and not regular HD's.
Unless I'm wrong in assuming the PS4 uses a HDD.
