PlayStation 4 Console Thread

Yeah they've fucked up, thinking about it, as loads of people probably don't have the money at this time of the month. They'd understandably expect it to be taken on or just before the 29th which would be around their payday.

I expect a lot of failed payment attempts!

[Chadruharazzeb]

Smaller file is the update. You'll only need the bigger one if you're adding a new HDD.

Ah! I did not know that. You're a genius.

EDIT, actually where is the larger file? By default it downloads the 300mb one.

EDIT 2, never mind, found it now.

[Haribokart]

Oh,do we know if The Playroom is downloadable if you change your hd?

It's part of the system firmware so is included when you restore, stupidly. I'm sure they will change that in the future and make it deletable/accessible from the store.

[RubberJohnny]

Not sure we'd need the non-accidental damage one. Isn't there an EU directive which states electronics must be good for two years?

Doesn't stop them from selling those plans though, just look at Applecare.

Free money for doing not much more than you're already required to.

[cassidy]

Shopto better not send me an email I prepaid in August.

[pauc]

I don't think they'll stop selling the plans, I'm saying don't buy it if you're in the EU.

[macosx]

If you read the Shopto email. You can still cancel and get a refund as it's not a contract until goods are dispatched.

I get paid on the 28th so knew that it would most likely be coming out before payday.

I think Shopto fucked up but I think people are annoyed with themselves that they left it so late to cancel or get money in their account.

They'll still send you some kind of receipt. Prepaying essentially puts the money in your ShopTo account, which they then debit when processing the payment. My heart skipped a little last night when I got an email from them thinking I'd been charged again.

I just fondled a PS4! Quite unexpectedly too. The console itself is lovely, very small and sturdy and attractive. I fondled the pad too, which instantly felt like a step up from the 360 pad. It fits in the hand perfectly, feels very well built, and the new triggers feel absolutely spot-on. The guy was setting up for a public preview event tomorrow night, but they only have Octodad, Fifa and Contrast, so I'll probably skip it

[Jonzo]

Octodad's fucking brilliant.

[murray]

Yeah, Octodad is amazing. So funny.

[Yiggy]

Not a tremendous game for a demo though?

It's a bit too WHACKY for the masses.

It does look awesome though.

[NecroMorrius]

I know Octodad is awesome, I played the first one on PC and thought it was hilarious. I might go to this thing tomorrow night... can't decide.

[Bazjam]

Just transferred £500 from my paypal account to my bank account, all ready for Amazon to take whenever they please. Shits getting real.

It's not a sequel is it? I thought it was just a special edition of the same game.

[womblingfree]

Right, I'm going to use common sense and order the best games available even if they're not exclusive. Assassins Creed and Rivals it is.

Edit: or Killzone...gaaaah, can't decide.

You keep money in paypal instead of a bank account? Brave!

[Bazjam]

Been selling loads on eBay over the last couple of months to fund ps4 so just seemed easier to keep it in there. Plus if it had been in my bank I would definitely have spent it by now.

[SaintM]

I'm nervous keeping more than a hundred in PayPal, given the lack of protection for the user.

[ukdazs]

I've pre-paid, I've booked the Friday and Monday off and hopefully I'll finish off GTAV before PS4day. I have never been more ready.

Oh yeah, and this:

[Jumble Jumble]

I don't get that, why is XBone at zero?

[Epcotman]

It's not out.

[Chadruharazzeb]

Why has that graph got a key next to it when the x axis is already labelled with that information? Also, where is the PS2? And what's a GCN - a GameCube Nintendo?

[wullie]

Because the key on the right tells you quickly which one the blue bar is, silly!

We demand more fondling reports.

Because Excel.

[Dandy_Sephy]

Shopto say payment info emails were delayed due to volume of orders, will refund upon request. Will make second attempt I failed payments at a later date

[hub2]

Don't fondle it too much, the left hand side is a fingerprint magnet.

Bit off topic but never leave money in paypal accounts. They are not a 'proper' bank and not bound by UK law. They can (and often do) freeze people's money and accounts on spurious grounds at any time and you have no rights.
