The light is very bright and can reflect in the screen if you have everything set up a certain way. I game in my living room on the couch so my TV is about level with the light. These cut down the glare a lot. Also I would not enjoy playing Outlast or horror games with a dumb blue light shining out.

Fair enough. My TV is far enough away & high enough it won't be a problem & there is nothing to reflect the light back, in front of me.

That's why I'm guessing the light has never bothered me, I sit pretty far from the TV so I don't notice a glare/reflection at all.

Oh cool. I hadn't seen those before. I didn't know that the lightbar was a distraction, though it's probably because I don't have a PS4 yet. But this seems like a simple solution that looks good and serves a purpose. I like the idea and it's very brand aware. Where can you get those? If you've already posted that, I apologize for missing it in advance.

I'm actually gonna look into this as the light really does get annoying after a while.

That's a pretty cool solution for some people. Pretty clever.

looks hella cool but doesnt the light bar serve as a recognition component of the controller? Seems like it would interfear with data transfer...idk

I fitted mine and then went to the Playroom to see if the vinyl had an effect on the controller....it still picked up the controller and motion sensor. I do not have a camera so cannot say if it will effect that though....

Awesome Jimbo. Thanks for the testing of it. I do have the camera but ill just test with some electrical tape.

These lightbar covers look pretty cool. I didn't see a problem with the brightness of the lightbar, though.

Thats really cool, still can't beleive there is no option to turn off of the lightbar on this design but I like the decals though...

I'm hoping they will patch an option to turn off the lightbar because gaming in the dark is bothersome.

A piece of duck tape is a lot cheaper

Would be nice but from what Ive read this will never happen.
As has been said,tape is a solution or you can buy those cool lightbar decals that can cover up as much of the light as you want while having a cool word or logo on it.

Yea I was looking at them earlier. It is tempting to have a custom one made, but I'll hold off for now. I don't think the light would bother me as much is it were a little more reserved. The size of the bar just feels like an overkill.
These are less than a fiver IIRC, a roll of duct tape is cheaper but not by a lot. It's a damn sight uglier though, I was using it before I got these.
