If there is a setting to turn off your TV speakers, use that option. Most likely you probably don't even use your TV speakers anyways, though I could be wrong too.

I would say no only because the FFX/X-2 Remaster is a PS3/Vita exclusive, though I'm sure at some point it will become available for purchase like the Dresssphere garb and the Tomb Raider garb, which is actually very powerful when paired with the shield from the dresssphere set.

To answer the question on the HDD brackets, just go on Amazon and search for them. You'll find plenty of options there. As for getting a PS3, definitely do it if there are games you still want to play. Also, if you've been having a bit of a hard time with your PS4 going black screen on you at times, such as when you're playing a BD movie or even to change the RGB settings to full (weird, right?), also buy a PS3. The BD movie issue is as of update 1.60, though I haven't tried it with this latest update (1.61), and it's still having the RGB issue, though if you know where your system turn-off option is, restart it that way and then turn it back on, and, if you're having this issue, you will be fine afterwards, with RGB set to full.

It could be your system, as mine connects to the internet just fine. It could be that the network card in your PS3 malfunctioned and does not work anymore, or it could be something temporary. I'm willing to bet it's the former. Did anything happen recently that might have caused your PS3 to stop getting an internet signal?

Hopefully Playstation Now will use the same SEN information needed to login to the PSN, and that if a user has PS+, that either the subscription will come included with membership, or that it will be available at a discounted price, because I sure as heck would not like to pay for one more subscription at full price per month. If I could do one or the other I would pick PS Now over +. On another note, I don't have to worry about BC anyways seeing that I have a first gen PS3 (meaning hardware PS2 (CECHB model w/Emotion chip) as well as emulated PS1 BC) that is still in great condition and a PS4. Also, cloud gaming is really only supposed to fix the latency issues that gamers experience with large environment games or games that push the graphical limits of the previous systems, such as TLoU or GoW 3, in addition to opening up a potentially huge gaming library in the future. I would say that the most low lag game I've played so far on the PS3 would have to be Dead Space 2, which operated with hardly any lag whatsoever. Only time I ever saw lag was when there were so many Necromorphs in a small area that there was some, and only some, lag time. The games I have played where lag becomes an extreme issue after so many hours of gameplay would have to be the ME trilogy. Mix large environments with the need to save constantly and you'll have a pretty slow game after a while. Moreover, Sony needs this subscription based money so that better servers can be established for a much better online gaming experience, though some people may make the argument that the PS4 servers, which Sony devotes the majority of its internet time to, aren't any better than the PS3 servers, while others say the PS4 servers are ten times better than the PS3 servers because the money for PS+ goes to making those servers better. Whatever the case, Sony needs to make its money somehow because while us gamers enjoy online games (though I don't play many myself tbh), Sony and other game companies with servers need to pay their bills to keep the servers going, or else they get shut down by whoever they need to pay to, be it companies that supply internet, electricity (I can only imagine the electric bills that the Sony managers have to pay on server runtimes alone), etc. Lastly, before I finally shut up, is that even when PS Now is released, it's going to see its fair share of performance bugs in the early stages, so naturally people will start complaining about the service in the beginning. Let Sony do their thing and hopefully the consumer base will be happy with the eventual outcome.

Actually, given the right environment a 7200 RPM drive will not overheat your PS4. I speak from experience using a Seagate Momentus XT 500 GB SSHD with 7200 RPM, 8 GB Flash Memory and a 32 MB Cache in my PS3 for quite a few years now, since 2010 I want to say (actually it's been in two of them and is in the second one, and still works like a charm. The first one my brother has, and that one still works as well. Oddly enough, the second system its in is the original fat with hardware PS2 BC, lol). The main thing you want to make sure of is that the system itself is on a raised object, preferably a couple of inches off the ground if horizontal (not sure about the vertical setup). Also, make sure that the system is in an area where it doesn't get too dusty, as the fans will take in a lot of that dust and will eventually reach the hard drive area (though that's not rocket science to anyone at this point). Lastly, if you tend to smoke a lot in the area where you play, your system is going to overheat no matter what type of setup you have in that area, mainly because you are putting a lot of things into that space besides just the smoke. It could also be that because it's a SSHD, the most frequently used content is stored as flash and uses the flash portion of the drive to operate the content, but I don't think that's the case much. Take care of your PS4, and it should be able to handle 7200 RPM just fine. Lastly, it might also help if the PS4 gets a break every once in a while for those who play it obsessively, as that will really wear down the system, which raises a red flag for overheating down the road. Just saying.
