    Who wants some more Deep Down screens?

    The Jackie (above), that we already heard about before, mimics the shape of a treasure chest in the dungeons. When it detects a target it extends arms and legs quickly and bites with a mouth decorated by an enormous number of sharp tusks. Damage is inevitable, no matter how resilient your armor is, so you have to be careful when you open chests.
    In the screenshot above we also get a nice glimpse on the game’s greatswords.

    The Pooriiz (below) is normally attached to the ceilings of dungeons, like a caterpillar, it moves and rotates it rounded body and attacks in swarms. They become a serious threat when in large numbers, so you need to attack them one by one before you get surrounded.

    my PS+/$10/Music unlimited card was somewhere under my console, not in the getting started guide packet, if that helps. Maybe dig around in the box some more, it might have slid into an opening in the box somewhere?

    Sony's CES livestream is up now:

    http://blog.us.playstation.com/2014/01/06/watch-live-sonys-ces-2014-press-conference/

    Not sure how much they'll talk about gaming since this is more geared towards electronics, but you never know what they may show off.

    So far all they've got is "4K TV, 4K streaming on Netflix, 4K this, 4K that. 4K, 4K, 4K."

    Thanks guys, ironically I turned my stream down to 240p and it magically works (is that .2k?). I'm also following the verge and engadget's live blogs :)

    I like how he's talking about 4k distribution... meanwhile the feed is constantly buffering because apparently 60Mbit isn't good enough.

    Tomorrow is the press conference where they usually announce the big stuff I think

    4k for 2k! Is that all?

    If they push 4k hard enough, the government will have to intervene and press for better internet, country-wide. That's my guess.

    So is this thing going anywhere interesting or is it purely bullshit about 4k?

    Yeah,mine was hidden by all the other packaging and only when I took literally everything else out of the box did I see it.

    Ok, PS4 sound question.

    I want to route the PS4 sound to my actual speakers instead of my terrible TV speakers. However the cable that works for my PS3 (the red/white/yellow one) has no apparent equivalent on the PS4. PS4 sends its HDMI to my TV...how do I get the sound out?

    Can you use toslink for your speakers? I think the PS4 only supports HDMI and toslink out. I haven't seen any kind of converter for RWY.

    PS4 -> HDMI to AVR (which I assume your speakers are hooked up to) -> HDMI from AVR to TV

    4k is nice and all but we're at least 5 years from movies/games actually being 4k, along with 4k TV sets being affordable. Not to mention internet speeds needing to be faster.

    Never mind bandwidth speed, let's talk bandwidth caps. Streaming games/movies have a huge obstacle to overcome on that front.

    Are those a thing in the U.S.?

    Anyways, Reed Hastings was talking game about needing only a connection of roughly 15 megs a second and that they'd be rolling out 4k Netflix content in 2014

    I'm running at around 30 and really wish I had a 4k TV so I could watch Breaking Bad in 4k, holy shit that would rule

    Huh, didn't know movies were out. Guessing prices for 4k TV's will go down big time by Christmas this year if it gets pushed by Netflix and Sony.

    Alright, I'm getting a bit tired of AC 4 and Killzone and want another game for variety on my PS4. Is NFS Rivals good if you rarely play online?
