Nice, I have a buddy I'll make get it. He coerced me into Destiny, which I hated but I traded it to him for The Last of Us remastered, and PS4 GTAV. Worked out ok, his girlfriend digs Destiny.
And yeah, I'm the only person I know who's had issues, from reading I've done, I'm pretty sure my Bluetooth died on it. Apparently safe mode relies solely on USB, hence the controller working, but, despite having to plug in a controller on initial setup, it also has to read Bluetooth, or it won't play. Kinda stupid, but I think that was it, my controller is fine, all I care about is it's fixed and free. Gotta do some installing and downloading from the cloud, thankfully I have PS Plus.
I have an Xbox 360, and a PS3. All warranty replacements, but I'm on my third 360, all Red ring of death. It's been kicking since 2008, though. Got my PS3 in 2009, only issues I've had were occasional freezing in Borderlands 2 during raid bosses and dual wielding Unkempt Harold's or conference calls, or nor fleets. You get a couple Sal's doing that, and the PS3 taps out.
I'm kinda excited for the BL2 remaster. I almost got the pre sequel for PS3, since they insisted it wasn't gonna come to current gen. I would've been pissed if I bought that. I've played that game and all the expansions to death, but you get everything and the Pre Sequel for a normal game price. I'm intrigued. Long post...
