PlayStation 4 Console Thread

[NEG]

Why not be social with yourself rather then with others?

[Pavey]

I have no idea what that means.

[NEG]

Why not just write posts to yourself is another way of putting it.

[Mr Ben]

I wish you would

I think he's doing that already

There appears to be another one of those NowTV/£10 credit deals on at the moment. There's a banner on the store on the PS4, but the Ts&Cs are impossible to read as they're too small, and I can't find the same deal anywhere else (web store, iOS app, etc).

[Not Thread Owner]

Oh hang on: it's here. http://www.nowtv.com/devices/ps4

Says you only get £10 after you've paid £10 for your first month. Boo!

Could I just check if something works...

I'm not interested in contrived game sharing situations with random strangers, or even friends in other cities. But our house just became a two-PS4 residence, as one of my housemates purchased a PS4 for some Falls Out game or other. I think being in the same house is fair to share, especially as his PS4 is connected to a tiny TV and mine is set up with a projector - he should be able to benefit too. So, if I sign in on his console and download a game, and he signs in on my console and downloads a game - besides the projector benefit - will we each be able to play each other's games? And pointedly, would it be without fear of reproach?!

Also, will the headset I just got with my new Xbox One work with my PS4?

[rafaqat]

Your game share approach will work yes. And no one will chase you down.

What headset you got?

Oh you mean the standard one in the box? Doesn't that have the chat adapter bit on the end that means you can't plug it into a ps4 pad?

[LongHairStu]

No suspended accounts and loss of content? Phew! Cheers, raf.

In the Xbox box, yes. Just looked like a jack to me, but I'll give it a closer look. If it is just standard, surely that's too basic to need a handshake or anything?

[instasis]

I think the only proviso in that situation is that whichever console is not the profiles primary one will need to be online for the games to work.

If it's a standard jack it'll work fine.

Speaking of jacks, here's a guy caught jacking off in front of a PS4: http://www.mirror.co.uk/news/weird-news/playstation-pervert-caught-pleasuring-himself-6794076

[jonamok]

What's the game?

[Pavey]

I don't get it, that's normal isn't it

[Down by Law]

Knack has that effect on people

To do that he would have to login on your PS4 and activate the console on his account, you would have to do the same on his PS4 also, that does mean if PSN goes down you would only be able to play his games while it's offline and he would only have access to yours.

Whats the deal with Fallout PS4 digital download? I've heard on Reddit that if you preorder now that you are not able to download it in advance, that was just something for people who preordered a while ago? Though even for them, it's only been available since erm, today?

[Timmo]

The rubber part of one of the sticks on my first pad has completely fallen away. Bought a month or so after the release of the console. Do I still have recourse for a replacement?

[Timmo]

Nah, Argos.

[SeanR]

Nah, Argos.

[Shimmyhill]

Nah, Argos.

You should be ok, still get some Xbone sticks and upgrade your pad

[DocG]

The O button is inexplicable.

[Alex W.]

It's a touching callback to "Nyooooooowwwhhh!" from RotS.

[DocG]

Only if you saw it. I watched two Star Wars prequels then quit. Fool me once...

[Wiper]

Are Microsoft and Sony having some sort of competition to make the ugliest controller around? First the Bone's horrible Lunar White controller, now this monstrosity.

Not through Sony according to their website they told me to do one so I had to buy another at £38, this time from Amazon so if it does fail like this again I will complain to them instead.

[gooner4life]

I'd just buy one from Argos keep the receipt and take it back in a few weeks/month and get it replaced or refunded

They will send it back to Sony anyway and make it Sony's problem and you get a new pad

[Tomdominer]

Mu Dualshock 4 won't connect to my PS4. It will charge and turn yellow, but it won't reapond to the PS button in the centre and won't sync.

Is it fucked?
