Brothers, along with Bioshock Infinite and Devil May Cry, will be PS+ free games for PS3 in January. Also PS4 will have Don't Starve.

Sorry for the lackluster link, posting from my wife's iPad mini.

My vote goes to GTAV. You know they're going to talk about it...a lot. ACIV is also worthy, but three acts in you've got a lot more game ahead of you.

I've heard of the same issues @itspizza as they're all over the Amazon reviews. Seems that later firmware updates generally fix most of these issues or at least they did in the older models (such as the N66U), but maybe they just haven't gotten to that point with the AC66U yet? A lot of people talking about using Merlin firmware as well as it's just a customized version of the official firmware with a few improvements and bug fixes.

@Reisz I'd be interested to hear how it fares for you into the next few weeks and months. Hopefully updated firmware should help alleviate any issues of degrading signal that some people are complaining of in both the AC66U and AC68U. Otherwise that router seems to be pretty feature rich. If things go well for it I may upgrade to it and sell the N66W second hand.

Well, I just bit the bullet and bought the RT-N66W from Amazon on the lightning deal. It was 4.5/5 in reviews and I figured I can wait to get an AC router. In any case I'm sure it'll be a huge upgrade over my old Linksys.

@super2j: I see Amazon just put a lightning deal on the ASUS RT-N66W Dual-Band Wireless-N900 dropped down from $179.99 to $109.99. Only thing is it's just the white version on sale. This seems like it would fit what I want, except that it's still N and I just don't know enough about WiFi to know if it's worth sticking with N for now or just taking the jump to AC.

My wife and I just bought a home and upon moving in and hooking up our router (Linksys WRT54G) I was having issues with range and dropped connections. Granted the router is quite old, so I figured now as good a time as any to get an upgrade. I'm not the type to buy a new router ever year or every other year so I want something that can last me for the next 3-5 years.

I was looking at the ASUS RT-AC68 AC1900 and the NETGEAR Nighthawk R7000 AC1900 as options that are going to be reasonable for the foreseeable future. My primary needs are that the range is good, a solid speed is maintained up to 20ft away from the router and that the connection does not drop regularly.

Anyone here have any knowledge they can drop on me as far as a router purchase? Should I go with one of the ones I've linked above or would it make more sense to go cheaper with a wireless-N router still? Any help would be greatly appreciated!

I have been leaving mine in standby, but after reading what people have said about power blips/outages I think I'm going to start powering off. We get random power outages where I live and I'm terrified it'll ruin my PS4 now. :P

Mostly digital for me. Being in The Bahamas brings with it shipping costs and customs duties, so if I can just spend the straight $59.99 and download it that is preferable. Will likely have to upgrade my PS4 to something much larger though.

Just checked mine and it was ordered June 10, but just takes me to the Launch Edition (with the message up top saying I purchased this) and not the DS4 Launch Bundle. Cool for you guys who got it, hope is not just a glitch for you!
