I hope the save I will submit will work.
You will need a USB device and a copy of your Soul Calibur Save. Browse the save data folder on your device find your Soul Calibur 5 save data folder be it BLES or BLUS shouldn't matter since i upload the files without the param.sfo file so save should work on all regions. Report if it doesn't I will upload the entire save then.
You won't need PS Plus for Netflix or party chat, and your friends list will cap at 2,000
Sony has confirmed that you won't need a PS Plus subscription to make use of the PlayStation 4's party chat functionality
Sony has released another Q&A video, and in it they talk about alot of changes between PS3 and PS4, and one of them is that 'Party Chat' will no longer required you to have an valid PSN+ account.
At the moment, a PlayStation Plus subscription is needed to the online multiplayer of most titles, though services like Netflix, party chat, and free-to-play games like DC Universe Online will be available without it.
Additionally, the video also confirms that PlayStation 4 friends lists will be capped at 2,000 people, DualShock 3 controllers won't work with the PS4 while the PlayStation Move will, and your PSN avatar and username will carry over to PlayStation 4 along with a host of privacy options.
One of the biggest concerns fans have raised about the PlayStation 4 is just how many features will be accessible without owning a PS Plus account.
Either the news of RAM Usage of System OS has caused alot of cancels, or Sony has added an extra shipment to their holiday launch window
Major retailers have updated their websites to state that 'pre-orders' are now available again for those wishing to secure in getting an PlayStation 4 on Launch Day.
Either this was caused by horrible news yesterday of Sony allowing their System OS to take up a big chunk of RAM, or the recent news of late launch coming in middle of December has allowed Sony to secure another shipment of units for the stores to allow more pre-orders.
GameStop:
GameStop is accepting pre-orders for PlayStation 4 once more, according to a newsletter sent to PowerUp Rewards members.
Pre-orders are available as of today, July 27, but in limited stock. Buyers can choose from several bundles, which include launch titles such as Killzone: Shadow Fall, Call of Duty: Ghosts and Knack for $459.98. The Drive Club bundle, priced at $519.97, is also available once again.
Amazon:
Today, Amazon.com released another allocation of PS4 Launch Day bundles. Two of the bundles come with the console, a controller, one PS4 game, and a year's subscription to PS Plus. The bundles range in price between $459.98 and $499.90 (the bundles that include PS Plus are priced at $499.90).
Toys R Us claims XB1 launches two weeks before PS4
The Xbox One release date has been pegged as November 29 and will precede the PS4 release date by two weeks, a leading retailer has suggested
Toys R Us, a leading major retailer in the USA is claiming that the Xbox One console will launch on Nov. 29th, but the PlayStation 4 will not appear until Dec. 13th, which will give Microsoft a two week lead on the massive 2013 holiday season and being available on biggest shopping day for year in the USA on Black Friday might give it the overall lead it needs to be ahead in the next-gen console war this year.
While Sony and Microsoft have to date remained relatively tight-lipped on the launch dates of their respective consoles, retail giant Toys R Us has claimed that the Xbox One will land before the PS4. Listing the Xbox One release date as November 29, the retailer has pegged the PS4 release date as December 13, less than two weeks before Christmas.
Although far from official, the claimed dates suggest not only how close to each other the two consoles will launch, but indeed that the more expensive Xbox One will get the jump on its high-profile rival. At present Microsoft has said the Xbox One will land in ‘November' while Sony has tipped the PS4 arrival as during the ‘2013 holiday season'.
The November 29 Xbox One release date fits with claims that the console will hit the US in line with Black Friday, one of the State's biggest annual shopping dates.
Where a number of retailers have listed their Xbox One pre-orders alongside a speculative placeholder date, Toys R Us sounds relatively confident in its Xbox One release date prediction. On its Xbox One page it simple says the console will "be released 29 November 2013." PS4 pre-orders are also available.
Of course this is all 'rumor' until the actual companies officially announce a 'release date' for their consoles, and analysts claim we will know the truth come late August during the press conferences at this year's Gamescom in Germany, where Sony has already announced they are going to do a more in-depth coverage for games on the PS Vita platform along with more details on their new PlayStation 4.
