Watch Frozen Online The DAGER System review for the PlayStation 4 is live... and it covers the systems basic functionality, as well as its accessibility for those with visual, hearing or fine motor skill disabilities. Much like the DAGER review of the Wii U, the PlayStation 4 scores high points for its OS GUI and menu navigation system. This ensures that users are able to quickly and efficiently move about the dashboard without getting bogged down in optimized ad screens or unnecessary visual tabs.



Watch The Best Man Holiday Online As noted in the review, getting around with the PlayStation 4 is easy and both visually and audibly compliant toward disabled gamers. What's more is that the voice-optional menus, available with the PS Camera, provide a nice alternative for those with fine motor disabilities, but it isn't necessary for any of the basic operational functions of the PS4.



Watch Black Nativity Online As far as the controller goes... the DualShock 4 doesn't quite receive the same amount of praise as the Wii U's GamePad, but it does receive points for cutting down on the “travel time” between some of the buttons, especially the twin analog sticks. In the same vein, however, reviewer Josh Straub also mentions that the close-knit button layout could also work against those may have impairments that prevent them from making precision-based movements to access the buttons, and that having the buttons so close can result in mistakenly pressing the wrong thing at times.



Watch The Book Thief Online Nevertheless, the PlayStation 4 scored fairly high marks in the DAGER System review and had very little drawbacks for those with physical impairments or disabilities. A few days after picking up my launch PlayStation 4, my shiny new machine found itself being boxed up and sent back to Sony for a replacement unit, the unfortunate victim of an extremely loud fan. Now that I’ve received said replacement, I’m at least somewhat pleased with the end result. The new system’s fan still gets loud, but at least it no longer sounds like a jet is about to depart from my living room. And that customer service? Dynamite.



Watch Captain Phillips Online Last week, I filled readers in on the fact that my launch PS4 was apparently part of that one percent of consoles that was suffering from hardware issues. After bringing my console home at midnight, excitedly replacing the on-board 500GB hard drive with a big 1TB drive and downloading all of those free-to-play and PlayStation Plus titles, I was ready for a long, happy life with my new piece of gaming hardware.



Watch Bad Grandpa Online By the time I got around to sinking some time into Killzone: Shadow Fall, though, I learned that my relationship with the PS4 was not one built to last. Within 30 minutes to an hour of playing, the thing sounded like a blow dryer going on full blast and, long story short, that’s not how the console is supposed to function.



Watch The Hunger Games 2 Online As promised, I’ve decided to update everyone on how the whole replacement process shook out. After a brief chat with a Sony rep, I was well on my way to having my faulty console replaced. I received the shipping box within two days and had my console back at the FedEx station that same evening. Two days later I received notification from Sony that my busted unit had been received and, just a day later, the replacement was back in the mail. All told, my (second) brand new PlayStation 4 was sitting on my doorstep just seven days after initially reporting the problem. Yeah, I was pretty impressed.



Watch Thor The Dark World Online When I first opened the box and discovered a legitimate PS4 box inside, not just a brown box with the console sitting in it, I was both excited and terrified. Excited because my first thought was “Yay! I get a free second controller.” And terrified because the PS4 box features some questionable packing that apparently resulted in some Amazon orders being delivered DOA.



Watch The Hunger Games Catching Fire Online Opening the box offered another double dose of feelings. I was bummed that, other than the console, the box was empty. I was happy, though, that additional padding had been stuffed in, making it impossible for the console to shift around in transit. I slid in my 1TB hard drive in about two minutes, let the new console reformat it and once again went through the brief setup process. Before long, I had my small handful of games re-downloaded and was ready to test it out.



Further reports from Chart-Track indicate that both the Xbox One and PlayStation 4 have “out-stripped” the Wii U's lifetime SKU sales in the United Kingdom. Poor, poor, Wii U. When buying a video game system, sometimes the one thing you don't notice is whether or not it's designed for those with physical disabilities. Well DAGERS, or Disabled Accessibility for Gaming Entertainment Rating System, measures and tests games and hardware for accessibility. The latest piece of tech to get the review treatment from DAGERS is Sony's PS4, and it scored better better than its predecessor mostly due to a revamped UI, tighter controls and a more streamlined operating system.
