That sucks man. Will they ship you a new one?
The XBOX keeps turning off. I noticed that the power supply if "off" - no lights. I need to the reset the power supply. After, It might work for a few hours or a few minutes. It's past the warranty period. $50.

Thinking of buying Farcry 4 while it's on sale, but have some basic questions:

I downloaded the free demo from PS Plus, but can't ever seem to find anyone to play online with (I've had success once, out of nearly ten attempts). I've had no trouble playing other games online (Rocket League and Battlefront), but am unclear on the requirements for Farcry 4.

Is the single player campaign a ton of fun in its own right?
Or do I really need to play online to fully experience the game?
If the latter, are the servers generally stable? Why can't I ever play the demo with anybody online?

You can definitely play and enjoy the game without playing online.

Yeah i didn't go online once and i enjoyed the fuck outta that game. There's easily a good 40-80 hours of play, depending on how much of the side stuff you do.

Sweet! I ordered it. Now I'm worried I may not finish it, once Uncharted 4 and and The Division come out.

Highly doubtful considering it is a first party Nintendo game.

It was an ingenious way for Nintendo to make a first person shooter that appeals to people of all ages.

PSN has a pretty good sale going right now on some big games (and some older ones). Looking through the list I see that they made the original GTA3 games available on the PS4 with updates HD graphics. Do I dare buy these games again for the FOURTH time?

I'm finally playing Fallout 4, it's a lot harder than I remember Fallout 3 being.
