I've had the same problem updating the firmware on a Sony blu-ray player; one memory stick wouldn't work, another (faster one) did. I assume Sony are expecting the data transfer rate to be a certain speed, and failing the process if it can't read the data off the stick in an allotted time.

£20 just to stand the bloody thing upright?

Also those dual controller chargers arent available at a reasonable price anymore.

Depending on your definition of a reasonable price, I found the official dual controller chargers at Gamestop for £19.47 (+ £2 p&p for orders under £20, cheeky beggars) the other day, which was certainly more reasonable than anywhere else.

Still available actually https://www.gamestop.co.uk/PlayStation%204/Games/45577/dualshock-4-official-charging-station

they have the official stand for £13.47 but I've not looked around at prices for those so less sure how good a deal it is.

I got a set of Xbox one sticks from Amazon for a couple of quid and they improve the pad immensely in my opinion. I also bought a new battery with twice the capacity for £8 and its lasting ages now compared to before where I was only getting a single evening out of a charge.

It's really easy to do although the first time I put it back together the touch pad stopped working, but a quick google later and I realised I'd disconnected the ribbon inside it and sorted it (there's an obvious ribbon connection and another that you can't see), seems quite a common thing to happen by all accounts.

I`m thinking of getting a projector to use with my PS4.

What is the cheapest option I have to get decent quality?

Also, related question. Has anyone used the Sony Cinema (HMZ1,2,3) goggles with a ps4? Are they any good? I think they`re only 720p though.

Currently have a 32inch TV, but I want something bigger that I don`t have to share , without buying a giant TV.

Brill. Me and the kids played this a lot on the PS3.

Hmmmm, Dowloaded the Beta and it's saying cannot use the content, please purchase from Playstation Store.

Does anyone know of a website which shows the current PSN discounts across regions? (PS4, PS3 and Vita ideally)

maybe if it didn't have that groove...

Just because a Playstation has a groove don't make it in the groove.

This seemed like the best place to ask - does the YouTube app on the PS4 do live streaming? Want to watch the Ubisoft / EA stuff later, but I'm sure I read somewhere it doesn't do live stuff.

[tomakasatnav]

Yes, I watched the MS conference on there, bring the main menu up on the left and one of the sections is 'Live'

Cheers for that. So I can rock GoT then hit Ubisoft up in a flash.

Mkv is great but it doesn't support ntfs does it

20th anniversary controller in PlayStation grey launches in September:

[SeanR]

Is it $150?

Didn't think so...

[Yasawas]

I was worried about this when I saw that news this morning - does the PS4 actually support any filesystem that allows for files bigger than 4GB?

Edit - Yes! exFAT works apparently.

Fortunately you can pick up a third party stand on eBay for just £3 or so. Albeit one that's a slightly brighter white than the glacier console, if you're buying for that.

[footle]

What's the media player interface like?

[Capwn]

Found this on my feed today.

[Stanley]

Yeah, that's like totally shit.

Is there some reason you have to use a stand? I don't
