PlayStation 4 Console Thread

[Rob Rymond]

I think I remember some people saying that one of the firmware updates buggered up some settings.

Must be that then, will have to have a fiddle.

[Simmy]

Just had another hard shut down

I opened up youtube and it froze and then turned off.

Only seems to have started happening since I installed that 2tb hard drive recommended by Eurogamer.

Where is the cheapest place for an additional controller chaps?

[Pavey]

I don't think there is mate. I've scoured everywhere and £38.50 seems to be the cheapest around, which to me is not cheap. Think that was Amazon.

I ended up getting a s/h one for £32 on av forums.

[Loony Jetman]

Just got a PS4. Apologies if this has been done many times, but is there a list of forum member PSN IDs anywhere? Need to fill up my list!

Thanks.

[Nathan Wind]

First post has a link to a Google doc list of PS4 forum types, or there's the one in the Destinty thread opening post.

[Loony Jetman]

Thanks!

Had a look for a second pad in game today... £69.99 - nearly burst out laughing in store

Black?

[Benji]

That was a black and blue one

[Rowan Morrison]

The black and blue one is very ugly, but it was cheap on Amazon a couple of weeks ago, so I have an ugly second controller. They're £70 on the Game website, too (just the blue ones), and out of stock. Astounding.

[Benji]

I want a white one really, did they do those separately?

[SeanR]

amazon, dude! wave blue is £45 at amazon. Not as "immediate" as picking one up in the shops, but still...

Even the white is £48.

I paid £41 for a magma red at amazon (currently £60), it was out of stock at the time, waited 7 weeks for it. But it was worth it. It's still MISB

[Istanbul]

White, Blue and Black in stock at Gamestop for £39.97 delivered.

I got my Red there for £37 a while back.

OR...

Use code 25%COUPONFORYOU to get the black for £33.74.

[Benji]

Had a £10 amazon voucher so got the blue for £35 in total, thanks mate

[OogyBoogy]

Getting a PS4 for Christmas, and while looking through PSN, I noticed that "Alien: Isolation" has been discounted here in the US. $29.99 for a digital copy.

That's my first game sorted.

More digital discounts Sony, please.

[Rowan Morrison]

I'm hoping for a nice post-Xmas sale to lure in the new owners, because this 12 days of Christmas malarkey is pretty bogus, especially running alongside the Steam sale. I don't expect the PS store to approach that level of mania, but something more than a game on sale for £30-£40 every two days would be great. Just a return to the regular sales, in fact.

[Majora]

There's a 'January sale' live now which is quite a bit better than the 12 deals of Christmas. Don't go expecting much with recent retail releases but older stuff and PSN games look more tempting. Things that interested me off the top of my head:

Walking Dead Season 2 for 8-9 quid

The Wolf Amongst Us Season 1 for 10 quid

Octodad for 5.99

Peggle 2 for 3.50

Thief for 12 quid

Geometry Wars for 8 quid

I wish it was even as good as the Xbox sale. The whole 12 days of Christmas has been crap though. At least if items changed daily I would check in and see what was going on. BF4 showing up everytime I logged in just killed any interest, I even forgot it was running.

After such a strong start Sony seem to have forgotten how to do anything right.

[Qazimod]

Some of the Vita deals over the past twelve days have been ok (I didn't actually pick anything up but that's due to a personal lack of interest in the offered games) but I definitely think the PS4 offers are a bit cheeky. Discounting a £55 game to brick and mortar prices isn't the most enticing of offers.

[SMD]

Assassin's Creed Freedom Cry any good?

[Rowan Morrison]

Thanks for that, grabbed Peggle, Don't Starve and Race the Sun and I'm considering BF4. Fez is free too.

[p1nseeker]

Is there a list of the discounts anywhere? Can't see a mention on the blog.

[SMD]

These are gonna be 2015's PS Plus games, aren't they?

[bradigor]

PS4 only for TWAU in the sale. So still waiting for me.

[SeanR]

Assassin's Creed Freedom Cry any good?

another 3hrs of black flag for £4?

I'm in.

[Stanley]

Does anyone have a link to the entire sale? Couldn't find it on the webstore and the blog only lists highlights, and prices in euros.

[SMD]

[TheSlugFormerlyKnownAsNap]

Are those the discounted prices yet? I'm a bit confused, is this a January sale that starts next week or has it already started and is it badly named?

Anyway, Trials Fusion at 16eu isn't bad and I saw a couple of other games I might want. Dragon Age for 45eu maybe. And a few others...
