If you have to trade in at Gamestop, just wait until they do their extra trade in offers, like a extra 50% if you trade in on specific dates.  I traded BF4 and Infamous for $30 each.  They were gonna give me $33 for FIFA, but i'm not ready to let that one go just yet.

who has the best trade offers right now? i added some games up on the Gamestop app, COD, inFamous:ss, NBA2K, and WatchDogs and im at $92 TIV. hopefully with some of the trade bonuses i can get close to $150. just wanna know if anyone got any good deals for trade ins.

Best Buy will give $90 for those games. $99 if you're gcu. But isn't gamestop running a promo, trade in 2 ps4 or 2 xb1 games get $15 extra? So that's $30 extra dollars you can add, if I'm not mistaken.

The Playroom: AR Studio Out Tonight on PS4

Using the PS4 Camera, The Playroom became a way for PS4 owners to broadcast live ‘shows’ through the Live From PlayStation app. This piece of DLC is entirely built around that central concept. With AR Studio, formerly known as Set Maker, you can use your tablet or smartphone (Android or iOS), to turn your living room into a broadcasting studio. Fill your sets with images or photos stored on your smart device, or draw your sets from scratch. You can also add various special effects to the screen like interactive smoke and lasers using your DualShock 4 controller. You will need to download the PlayStation App for your smart device, which you can get for free on either the App Store or Google Play.

Since our first reveal at E3 In June, we made a few additions to make an even better experience:

• We added a ton of screen effects to make your video or broadcast more atmospheric, including Retro, Arty, Futuristic or Psychedelic effects. It’s all there for you to experiment with. My favorite is the vintage effect.
• You can now also play your own MP3s by loading them on a USB memory stick, and we’re also throwing in a whole bunch of pre-set music tracks and sound effects for you to use.
• We’ve improved the masks feature to include a few cool Sony classic heads for you to wear. Special thumbs up to the Helghast mask, popularized by Killzone, which hooks up to your DualShock 4 light bar. Totally awesome!
• Speaking of DualShock 4, we’ve added controller effects like interactive colored smoked and a confetti canon for live celebrations.
• Next, if you have recorded videos on your PS4, you will be able to play them back inside a dedicated projector. This is a really cool feature and great way for you to do live commentaries over your recorded game sessions and maybe even give out some advice to those watching you.
• Finally, we’ve included a rating system for your broadcasts. We called back on our little AR Bots friends to deliver the results of your live polls. By using the “Interact button”, any PS4 viewers can join in and answer questions you ask them. It’s a great opportunity to run all sorts of contests or even host your own quiz show.

Looks like Sony has acknowledged the popularity of playroom streaming and is aiding it.

Adding MP3 support is great so we won't have to hear that playroom music. I don't know how it'll get past all the twitch copyright stuff though. Also MP3 support better be on it's way soon.

Being able to play pre-recorded videos on stream and having polls with the streamers will definitely be a hit.

I'll probably tune in tonight to see people using it.

repped. taking advantage of this

 

[wartortle]

Since I bought the Limited Edition of Destiny, I moved my old preorder to Madden 15. Actually looking forward to Madden since I missed out completely last year. Every time I tried to play any mode it just froze. I think it was a bad disc but I didn't even bother returning it.

Damn man I am really thinking about Diablo 3
