My wife gives me enough grief for talking while I am gaming in a room by myself. I can only imagine if I had a buddy over and she walked in to see the two of us wearing headphones while we were right next to one another.

But I am very interested to know the answer. Not to do it myself but to know if the sound is processed individually for each player.

I have a question about Standby mode. When I am done playing should I keep the console in standby mode or turn it off completely? Should I keep in in standby for just a few hours or on a daily basis?

Well this is just me, but I only use standby if I'm downloading something after a gaming session. My controllers charge on a stand-alone charger so no need for post-charging standby, as it were.

Otherwise, powered off.

Do you change your oil every 5k miles? Honestly this is basically a personal preference thing. Sony says its safe to put into standby full time just like car manufacturers say its safe to go longer than 5k and 99.9% of the time it is. Me personally I turn mine off every time, just because I am a pessimist and if it can go wrong it probably will.

Yeah it wont auto download stuff for me but with my connection it doesn't take long anyway. If the boot time was any better than a cold start than I might consider it but it isn't. So in the end, for me, standby doesn't really offer any benefit to leaving it on. Not saying standby is a bad thing, my pc stays on year round, but this being the first system that has the feature and more importantly being a launch console...I just dont feel like risking it.

Since I set mine up I have only used stand by. My gaming PC has not been turned off in 5 to 6 years, so I follow that same mindset.

Yup. Since launch my PS4 has been on standby mode.
