Downloaded a free game for PS+ called Loadout. It's pretty funny, cartoonist style shooter game. I can see some hours being spent here.

[JBHuskers]

It was okay for a little while.

[Rudy]

I checked my ps4 and I had just over 50 gb free. I had the same amount on my 120 gb ps3. Just deleted a couple large games off hard drive but I'm seriously considering upgrading to 1 tb. Not sure yet as that's $100 over here for a Seagate that fits.

Same thing here. I checked mine last night and have 85gb free.

[Rudy]

The last of us was over 50 gb itself! You can only have so many of those sitting there. Same with demos. I needed to clean up.

Not sure if you are interested by that Nyko accessory that allows a desktop hard drive 3.5" comes out soon as i recall so you can get more bang for your buck on the hard drive if you are willing to pay the $40 for the Nyko accessory.

[Rudy]

I will have to consider that too.

[cdj]

Not sure how widespread this is, but last night and still this morning I am seeing that there is a sign-in issue on PSN. Upon attempting to sign in, users are told they must reset their password. At that point, the link in the e-mail or password (not sure which) do not work, basically locking the user out of PSN.

Following @AskPlaystation, they do not seem to think there is an issue but reading mentions indicates a different situation. I do not know if this issue is happening on PS3.

Anyone run into this? I'm staying off my PS3/PS4 until I know it has been rectified.

[Rudy]

I didn't have an issue this morning. Hopefully it's something that can be fixed quickly.

[texacotea]

Been having issues with my ps4 dropping internet connection. Anyone else having g have this issue. The roku nor the ps3 do this. But my phone does it more often than not

I wonder if it has something to do with the last PSN update. I fired up my PS4 this weekend and it ran an update on the PSN and on The Golf Club. Since the update I've been having all sorts of issues with TGC. It will start up, then tell me I have to be logged into the PSN to access the online features of the game (which are a larger majority of them). I am logged into the PSN but TGC tells me I'm "offline" I click connect to ONLINE on TGC and it tells me I must log into the PSN.

I posted this on their forums and others seem to be getting it too, it only seems to have started since the last PSN update.

As far as logging into the PSN I haven't had any issues. I played Counter Spy last night for about 2 hours and was logged into the PSN the entire time no issues.

[Rudy]

I can log in no problem but I am noticing that it is failing to back my saves up to the cloud for some reason.

Obviously this is on PS3, not PS4

[steelerfan]

For the second time in about a month my licenses cannot be verified. Therefore I can't play anything that I've downloaded which is everything I own except MLB14. I, of course, have no desire to play that.

This shit is getting old.

Fixed itself again.

Last time it took waiting overnight. This time it took about 10 tries to finally let me play MY games. :smh:

I can't remember the actual name but there's something in settings/maintenance that lets you fix the issue. Something like refresh licenses or something along those lines. If you haven't figured it out, I'll take a look tonight when I get home from work.

Yeah, it's Restore Licenses.

Last time it would fail to restore them. This time it would restore them, allegedly, but still keep you locked out. :(

[JBHuskers]

The 1TB PS4 is approved by the FCC, I'm waiting for someone to create a 3TB-4TB 2.5" SATA....

Or PS4 allowing extrenal HDD's.

I'm running a 3TD Seagate external on the XB1 and it runs games great.

Report: Nyko PS4 Data Bank Release Date Outed 6/9

http://www.playstationlifestyle.net/2015/06/01/report-nyko-ps4-data-bank-release-date-outed/

[JBHuskers]

I'm still at around 900GB so good for now. Gives it time to see how well it works and the price to go down.

[JBHuskers]

If you're thinking about getting this....

http://cdn.pocket-lint.com/r/s/628x/assets/images/phpibxufl.jpg

This would be a solid HDD that you wouldn't need to upgrade ever I'd think :D

http://amzn.to/1HQW1J0

[Rudy]

Is heat going to be a problem with that Nyko device?

[cdj]

Is heat going to be a problem with that Nyko device?

Good question - I always wonder that with any add-on like this.

[jaymo76]

Not sure why but I had to reset my Netflix account last night on PS4. Said my device was not registered. Working fine now but have not experienced that before.

Price isn't too much different from a regular HDD at 4TB.

Project Morpheus to cost 'several hundred dollars,' according to Sony


http://www.polygon.com/2015/6/15/8782385/project-morpheus-to-cost-several-hundred-dollars-according-to-sony

This VR thing has BUST written all over it.


"The first time people try VR is the most dangerous time. People get used to it after a while, but the first is the most susceptible to motion sickness. So we want to get the hardware right."

Hell I cannot even play FPS so no way in hell will I be able to play VR no matter what they do. :sick:

[JBHuskers]

The Amazon reviews for the Data Bank are all over the place right now.

One guy claims that packaging says you should only use a max of a 2GB HDD :fp:

[JBHuskers]

Maybe Sony will announce external HDD support tonight.

[CLW]

Maybe Sony will announce external HDD support tonight.

I wouldn't hold my breath on that one. It would be great but I just wouldn't bank on it. Hell you cannot even change your username on PSN still.

Media Player Coming to PS4 Tonight (6/15) (http://blog.us.playstation.com/2015/06/15/media-player-coming-to-ps4/)

If you were watching our E3 press conference pre-show, you probably heard the good news – Media Player for the PS4 will be available to download from PlayStation Store this evening. A Media Player icon will appear in the PS4 content area, simply select the icon and you will be taken to the PS Store where you can begin the download.

The Media Player works with both your home server and when plugging a USB stick with media into one of the available ports on the PS4. Your home server will appear as a media option in the player automatically and finding your media is simple and quick. You may also simply enjoy music as background music on your PS4!

Sweet! I've wanted to play Heavy Rain ever since hearing you guys all go on about it during the PS3 days.

[CLW]

Sweet! I've wanted to play Heavy Rain ever since hearing you guys all go on about it during the PS3 days.

Yeah LOVED Heavy Rain (one of my first :plat:) Beyond isn't quite as good but I enjoyed it as well. Depending on price I may jump on both of those and play them again.

PS Plus: Free Games for July 2015

All these games will be free for PS Plus members starting on July 7th.

Really looking forward to Rocket League.

[JBHuskers]

I'd play Rocket League for a little while. Probably get tired of it quick.

Styx looks interesting, been waiting for Mousecraft to be free!

[SmoothPancakes]

Meh. Rocket League and Entwined are about the only ones I would care about. I just largely do not care about indie games. It's rare I can get into one.

[gigemaggs99]

Styx looks cool.

[gigemaggs99]

Interesting, I've reached my limit on the HD.

I was trying to install MLB 15 and it tells me I don't have enough space, I had to delete some games, what I had installed was:

1) Battlefield Hardline
2) Driveclub PS+ free edition
3) Lego Marvel Super Heroes
4) Madden 15
5) Shadow of Mardor
6) NBA 2k14
7) Plants vs Zombies (deleted for room)
8) Pure Chess
9) Tropico 5
10) The Golf Club
11) Pure Pool
12) NBA 2K15
13) MLB 14
14) Fifa 15
15) CounterSpy
16) Loadout (deleted for space)
17) Metal Gear Solid V
18) NHL 15
19) The Last of Us
20) War Thunder (deleted for space)

After installing MLB 15 and it's update I have 3.08 gig remaining. I thought I read somewhere that the PS4 would hold atleast 27 games, seems like I'm at less than 20?

Guess it's time to trade some in.

When I start MLB 15 it tells me there isn't enough space to record my game. BOOOO

[Rudy]

Maybe it's time to upgrade the hdd.

[steelerfan]

The obvious first choice is to delete MLB 14.

I plan on deleting outdated sports titles when space becomes an issue for me. I have 151.3 GB available on my main PS4 right now so I'm ok for a little while.

[JBHuskers]

The annual big summer release PLAY 2015 starts this week with Journey, and if you got it on PS3, it's free on PS4.

Then there are three solid looking titles coming after:

7/28

N++

8/4

GALAK-Z

8/11

Everybody’s Gone To The Rapture

[cdj]

623543949345615872

[JBHuskers]

If you own the PS3 version of Dishonored, the PS4 version will be $20 off, or a total of $20.

[Rudy]

623543949345615872

It's about freaking time!

[jaymo76]

Freakin sweet! Grand Ages Medieval is coming to PS4 on Sept 29th!!! AWESOME!!!

Soooooooooooooooooooo excited about this game!

[steelerfan]

That may be fun, jaymo. I may give it a go.

[JeffHCross]

That looks awesome. May have to get it for PC.

[JBHuskers]

If you're looking for a challenge. Let Velocibox humble you. This game comes out tomorrow in the PSN Store. Here is me playing for about five minutes.

[steelerfan]

So I just got my internet upgraded to the fastest that AT&T can offer me. I'm pulling over 77 on download and almost 8 on upload on my laptop.

However, the PS4s are only getting 25-39 down and 3-5 up (depending if it the hard wired one or a WiFi one). The technician said that PS4s can't handle speeds that high and that is why the speed test on the PS4s are showing lower speeds.

I don't doubt it because we tried everything we could think of and got the same results. Does anyone know if a PS4 caps out at a certain speed?

[gschwendt]

I think it's just a limitation of the PSN servers. Seems just about everyone complains about slower speeds through PSN compared to what they pay for from their provider.

[steelerfan]

Gotcha. Thanks, buddy.

At least my main PS4 is getting 39 today as opposed to 19 yesterday. :)

Wow when did Uverse up the speed in Houston? The max I could get was like 24 down and like 2 up. Still with Uverse here in OKC and its 50 Down and 5 Up. (Cox overs 100 down but we stayed with Uverse b/c my wife likes the wireless receivers and at some point the extra speed becomes pretty minor IMHO)

For whatever reason my neighborhood has been one that they have poured alot of resources into. I guess sometime in the last year they began offering 75 here (which is what I just upgraded to). I believe that the last time I inquired the fastest I could get was 45 (about a year ago) but at that time I stuck with 18. It literally varies from neighborhood to neighborhood. The technician said some areas of Houston can now get 1 GB through AT&T.

Yeah I had heard that - Cox advertises that point saying their speeds are universal throughout OKC as a shot at UVerse.


FYI - I just checked my PS4 and I am getting 35 down and like 3 up so I'm not getting the full power either.

Ok, so it is probably PSN like Tommy said. That's what I wanted to know, just to be sure it was doing the best it can and there wasn't anything wrong with the installation or any hardware. I suppose there's no need for me to upgrade again (not that I can now) unless PSN improves.

[jaymo76]

Matt, if you don't mind my asking how much does a package like that cost? I am on the 25/5 package and my provider makes me pay through the nose.

[steelerfan]

Matt, if you don't mind my asking how much does a package like that cost? I am on the 25/5 package and my provider makes me pay through the nose.
I just looked at my account and it looks like $84 per month.

[jaymo76]

I just looked at my account and it looks like $84 per month.

Not bad. I'm a $50 for mine and that's a discount due to bundling it with tv and phone. Up here, at least in the west, we have a big three monopoly and it's total collusion to keep prices high (Rogers, Shaw,Telus).

[CLW]

Matt, if you don't mind my asking how much does a package like that cost? I am on the 25/5 package and my provider makes me pay through the nose.

I pay $138 for the t.v. (i have basically every channel except the foreign language ones - including all the movie channels, sports package, etc...) and $31 for the 50/5.

Yeah, mine is discounted because I have TV and cell phone service with them. I think $84 US is about $110 Canadian so it may be high, idk.

What I do know is that I shouldn't have any issues with speed anymore. Also, when my daughter is here we have 11 connected devices so hopefully this will keep any of them from having problems, lol.

[JeffHCross]

I get an advertised 100, but haven't seen it since the first day it was turned on :D

[Rudy]

I don't need high Internet speeds. I don't stream TV or play online. I just have a 15/2 service for $40 Canadian a month. The price is right!

[JBHuskers]

I have 25/2 and both stream games and video and it's fine. Would like more though, but Time Warner only goes up to 30 in our area I think. Maybe 50 now?

[steelerfan]

Yeah, I never had problems streaming games at 18 but I couldn't ever get Share Play to work. Maybe now I can. :dunno:

[JBHuskers]

Yeah, I never had problems streaming games at 18 but I couldn't ever get Share Play to work. Maybe now I can. :dunno:

Never tried Share Play.

[steelerfan]

Never tried Share Play.
I tried a couple times and it said my connection was not fast enough.

[JBHuskers]

I tried a couple times and it said my connection was not fast enough.

Weird. I thought PS Now was 5 MB/s figured Share Play wouldn't be much more.

[Rudy]

Share Play is ridiculous. You need 15 just to be considered terrible. For the most part I don't think anyone notices a difference between 15 and 50. You can stream HD well either way.

[steelerfan]

I was generally at 19 before and could not get Share Play to work. Not even "terrible".

[JeffHCross]

I have practically never been able to do anything at the same time as playing NCAA, no matter what that other Internet using function is. I've always blamed EA's network code. But the rest of you have experience playing other console multi-player games; I don't.

[Rudy]

I had been using DSL and only 6/.5 and my son had no issues playing Destiny. I'm guessing it was the code.

[gigemaggs99]

We had cable here, cable + high speed internet up to 50mb. We were paying $175/month, it had a bunch of channels all sorts of college football channels, but when football isn't on we don't watch much at all.

Ditched the cable, kept the high speed internet and pay $60/month. With nothing else causing interference the internet is super fast now.

We bought Hulu + for $8/month and will probably get Sling Box in the fall so we can get ESPN and the SEC network. I think it's $20/month, that would make it $88/month which is MUCH MUCH better than $175.

We have an antenna now and get 15 HD channels including CBS, FOX, NBC, ABC, PBS and then 10 others. I figure that will get us for the most part on NCAA games and NFL.

Cable costs WAY TOO much if you ask me.

[JeffHCross]

gigem, just so you don't make a mistake ... Sling (Internet based TV service) is a totally different thing than a Slingbox. Figure you know that, but thought I'd mention just in case.

I'll basically be in the same boat as you come fall. Have Hulu, Netflix and Amazon Prime right now, will be adding Sling. Yeah, it's costing more than I would have liked, but a DVR isn't free anyway, so I figure Hulu is offsetting that cost even if I had cable. And it's still altogether cheaper than even the best HD offer from the cable company.

[bdoughty]

I so hate the Summer drought. Playing Far Cry 4 and Dying light again to catch up on all the DLC I missed, even though I have both Season passes on day one. Next non-sports game I have in my wish list is the Uncharted remaster which I hope can keep me busy until Fallout 4 and Just Cause 3 hit.

[JBHuskers]

Yep... I'd pay $15 just for Mega Man 2.

Yep, 2 & 3 are the best ones.

[CLW]

Yeah I'd prefer it to be the entire collection but $15 for 1-6 isn't too bad.

[JBHuskers]

Yeah I'd prefer it to be the entire collection but $15 for 1-6 isn't too bad.

Agreed.

[JBHuskers]

This game came out either last week or this week. Once the price goes down I will probably get it because it's basically a clone of Yoshi and Donkey Kong Country games.

Sony recently revealed a companion accessory for the PlayStation 4 console at a media event. We got a chance to get our hands on their upcoming mobile projector, which ran a demo of the PlayStation 4 exclusive game, Until Dawn.

Here are the key features that caught our attention:


Laser Technology.
Auto Focus & Free Focus modes.
Can project up to 120 inch screen size.
1920 x 720 resolution.
HDMI/MHL connection.
There is a tiny internal speaker to output audio, but most of us will plugging in a headset or external speakers to the stereo earphone jack.
The form factor of the device is really small. About the size of two Sony Xperia phones stacked together!



Details are scarce at the moment, but it looks to be launching in October 2015.

http://geekculture.co/wp-content/uploads/2015/08/sonyprojector3.jpg

[SmoothPancakes]

Tiny device, but probably giant price.

[JBHuskers]

That's pretty cool for those who travel with their PS4 a lot.

[CLW]

neat little feature - of course price dependent

[JBHuskers]

The Nyko Power Bank and the 4TB HDD work great, the PS4 backup and restore didn't work right as I couldn't access most of the games and had to delete and reinstall. Oh well. Small inconvenience.

[cdj]

Tiny device, but probably giant price.


neat little feature - of course price dependent

It's going to cost $350 (http://www.wired.com/2015/07/stuff-big-screen-pocket-tiny-projector/) and it requires a very dark room for use. I'm not up on projectors, but I think you could probably get a better one for cheaper.

I'm not paying the price of an entire new console for a bloody projector.

[JBHuskers]

Yea, pass.

As for the Data Bank, I am having trouble with putting it in Rest Mode. I thought I read at 4TB it worked fine. I'll see if an update later on works better with it.

[CLW]

Yep that price is way too high.

[skipwondah33]

Actually that isn't that bad of a price.

It is in line with the pocket sized/mobile pricing for other brands. And cheaper than the regular sized projectors of course but lacking their specs.

If you are in need of one for gaming and business related purposes not bad. Otherwise I'd just buy a TV as I wouldn't use it for anything but gaming.

That's the thing... while Sony marketed this alongside the PS4, it's not exclusive to the PS4. As a mobile projector, it's not a bad price at all... it's just not necessarily targeted towards gamers.

As a mobile projector, it's not a bad price at all... it's just not necessarily targeted towards gamers.That's why I was confused and had to go up to read what CDJ posted. My initial thinking was is this just for gaming? Why would someone need a projector solely for that.

Then read the article and it mentions anything about gaming with it

Rumored content for PS4 firmware 3.0: (http://www.playstationlifestyle.net/2015/08/11/report-ps4-firmware-3-0-add-youtube-streaming-uploading-clips-twitter-lots/#/slide/1)

According to Pocket News, a select number of PS4 users are testing PS4 firmware 3.0 in Sony Japan’s beta initiative, and some of the additions include being able to stream directly to YouTube, an improved messaging system, and even a “Now Playing| feature added to the PS4 Friends section.

Here’s the full details as translated by NeoGAF member crinale:


“Event” menu is added that allows you to find events related to PlayStation, join them and watch them.
“Community” is added to “friend” menu that allows you to make new community or join existing ones.
“Now Playing” is added to “friend”, “community”, “message” and profile screen that allows you to display games members are currently playing. You can request to join their games or request to broadcast the game.

Played in a cash game for about an hour last night, and the game's pace is really good. That was a problem with some poker games in the past, it would just take forever to play a hand. I was smoking fools too, I started the cash game with $1000 and ended with about $4500. The cash game is a mixture of bots and real people unless there are enough real people to fill the table, so that's nice.

The only thing I'm disappointed in is that Pure Pool had a :plat:, this game is $20 and doesn't have one. I was hoping to have a bunch of goals and such to chase to get trophies to make it more interesting.

It's probably better suited to be a $10 title, but I wanted to play it, and the company making the game is good, and so far they have delivered with a good poker sim. Still wish some developer could figure out an online multi-table tournament, but at least you can make private tournaments for your buddies, and the fact that you can stream it too makes it a little more interesting.

Strange thing about playstation plus. So I get an email yesterday saying my PS+ has expired and I've lost my games I've downloaded for free in the last year. It tells me to keep this from happening to renew my membership prior to it expiring.

The sad thing is this is the only email I've gotten from them....just a heads up to anyone else, make sure you check your expiration date. I'll renew, just wish they would have given me a heads up email.

Oh well, live and learn I guess.

EDIT: ok, good news, I paid for 1 more year of PS+ and now all of my downloaded games work again. :))

PlayStation... buddy brought over Resident Evil... wow!
PlayStation 2: NCAA FOOTBALL 06... my first ever college football game (game wasn't sold in Canada yet)
*** honourable mention... GTA Vice City
PlayStation 3: NCAA 14... best "next gen" game of the series!
PlayStation 4: Delivery day... first time I ever bought a system for day one... waited all morning for the delivery. Good times!

[SmoothPancakes]

PlayStation - Final Fantasy VII. That one game I got with my console as a Christmas surprise as a kid, starting a lifelong enjoyment of one of the greatest video game series in history.

PlayStation 2 - NCAA Football, GTA Vice City and Final Fantasy X, three games that probably should have completely worn out my PS2 over the years. That damn little black box just kept chugging along for a decade.

PlayStation 4 - MLB The Show. The very first game I bought the day I bought my PS4, and the very first game I played. After years of hearing about how great The Show was while stuck with MLB 2K on the 360, I finally got my first taste of baseball glory and it was good!

[bdoughty]

PSX - Walking into Funcoland and finding a copy of this on the shelf.

First college football game with licensed 1-AA teams.

While I loved FF7, I tend to remember 8 more since it was released the same day as the Dreamcast. That was an expensive trip to Toys R Us.


PS2 - Had 5 or so games well before the system was even released. Playing Timesplitters for the first time was pure bliss.

The sound quality when moving to CD from cartridge was incredible. Resident evil was fantastic that way. Still remember my brother literally dropping his controller when dogs crashed through the glass windows.

I too played NCAA 06 as my first fame and loved it! Also had to import it. But I also had to hunt down a ps2. A coworker ended up buying it for me at toys r us while he was Christmas shopping and I bought it off him.

I remember the ps3 being inferior in frame rate and being disappointed with NCAA for a long time. But after being a sports only guy it pushed me to Uncharted. Blew me away.

Sounds good, I'll try it again tonight, maybe there was something not working properly on my end. Xbox1 said Broadcasting was ONLINE, it showed 0 viewers, I came in and checked here but it didn't show me broadcasting here TGT, so I went back and continued playing, then when I was finished with my game it was like the broadcasting was locked up. I tried to shut it down but it said it wasn't running, when I tried to start it back up it said it was already running...somehow something was messed up. :dunno:

Is there a drive someone can recommend?

I went by gamestop today and they had a seagate 1TB for $110. That seemed kinda high, but if that's a good one and will do the trick that's what I'll go with. It said it was "for PS4" the lady had no clue what it was for, so I didn't buy it.

I'd like to get more PS4 games but need the extra space.

Hey Giggs....I have a 1TB HDD I can sell you.

[gigemaggs99]

Hey Giggs....I have a 1TB HDD I can sell you.

Sounds good. 1TB should be enough right?

When I read reviews about the one, the 1TB at Gamestop it gets mixed reviews, no one says it's not big enough, they said it's expensive for what you get. They say you can get a 2TB for the same price.

My next question is, how do I get the stuff off my current PS4 HD and put that info (game saves, profile data, etc....) onto the new drive?

[CLW]

Gus here is an Amazon link to the HDD i bought for my PS4 2 years ago:

SWEET! that's 1/2 the price!

I know cheaper is not always better, JB has sent me a PM on the one he has, thank you sir.

We need to have a Classifieds (for sale, looking to buy) section on this website.

There are some games I'd like to try. I was very disappointed with Gamestop today, when I asked her she had no clue what it was or, what it's for or anything...BOOOOOOO

I'd rather ask y'all, you actually play the games and know what you're talking about.

Is it an option to have that type of a thread on these forums or is there something legal/weird about that?

Thanks again,
Gus

[SmoothPancakes]

Yeah, I've seen emails on those from Seagate. They have a 2TB drive specifically for Xbox One for $99. So 1TB for $110 for PS4 is sort of a ripoff.

[gigemaggs99]

Reading reviews online, this one seems like a winner, less than $100 including shipping and it's a 2TB drive.

EA is indeed a fairly liberal company. Of course in typical liberal hypocrisy they like to tout how "progressive"/forward thinking they are unless/until someone else comes along and attacks them from the left and then they want conservative thought to rule the day (see e.g. their briefings in Federal Court)

IF the lawsuit only hurt EA it would have been ironic and perhaps just they got a dose of liberalism which they claim to love. Sadly, the lawsuit hurt lots of gamers that enjoyed playing college sports games moreso than it hurt EA. EA simply doubled down on Madden/MUT ball and moved on. College sports gamers are left with nothing. The alleged harmed athletes got a couple hundred bucks and the liberal lawyers walked away with millions.

It's nice to have on the PS4 though. I watched about 20 or 30 minutes of content from the Steelers tonight and it was all since Sunday. Mostly postgame interviews and analysis.

[JBHuskers]

I have a 4TB and have 2.35 TB left.

I still plan on being a disc copy guy. I do clean up some games but 500 GB is a bit tight. After star wars I only had 27 gb free until I deleted the Show and one other game. Have 80 gb now but with possibly assassins creed Syndicate, witcher 3 and other games this Christmas it could get tight again. With me and two kids playing a variety of games I still think 1 TB should be good. Would cost me an extra $50 to jump to 2 TB and I don't want to spend a lot.

Semi related note, anyone had the auto eject issue happen?

Guess 2 or so weeks ago, while I was watching TV PS4 just turned on by itself (from off mode) and ejects disc out. It kept trying there for a few minutes before I turned the system off. Power cycled it for 30 minutes and didn't have an issue until the other night. Apparently it turned itself on overnight and kept trying to eject a disc all night!

Found the issue online and going to try the screw tightening fix I think I found, but none of the fixes I've read seem to hold.

In regards to storage I probably have 400 GB free still lol

This is the one I bought on Amazon. After reading many reviews I went w/ the 2TB. It was a breeze to install and my PS4 has been working like a champ! I would highly recommend this one:

EDIT: on my "side note" I would like Xbox1 and PS4 to get together. The battery life on the Xbox1 controller is freaking amazing!

For example: I will play Battlefield 4 on PS4 with a freshly charged controller. I have a WIRED usb headset that connects to my PS4, not connected to the controller. My PS4 controller will last around 6 hours.

I play the same game BF4 on Xbox1 with a Turtlebeach XO Four headset that plugs directly into the Xbox1 wireless controller. I started with a full charge. Played the last 2 nights for atleast 5 hours each time, total of 10 hours and my battery level is still 75% or higher. Who knows, maybe I'll get some sort of cancer holding the Xbox1 controller whatever they put in that battery pack it's STRONG!

[Rudy]

Yeah, ps4 controllers are max 6 hours.

And that 2TB drive is exactly what I'm looking at over in Canada (our dollar is much weaker). It's on sale at $115 with coupon or I go with the simple 1 TB option for a faster drive that also gets good reason views. That one is C$70 before tax over here at Newegg. The price difference is the cost of a game almost so I'm not sure.

[steelerfan]

Personally, with children who play, I'd buy the one that made it unlikely that i'd ever have to worry about it again. It would be a bad investment if you bought a 1TB and then had to start thinking about deleting games in a year or 2.

[Rudy]

I have thought about that. With 2 TB I'd never think twice.

Got 2tb for the xbox one. It works out to 1.8tb after installation. The thing is though some of these games now are in the 40-50gb range. 1tb is going to fill up sooner than later.

I went cheap. I got a 1 TB drive for about $85 Canadian after tax and shipping. The 2 TB would have been another $50. Just didn't want to commit more than that with Christmas coming. I think I will be fine even if it means cleaning up older games here and there. Made it two years with 500 GB which is really just over 400 GB in space so going from 400+ GB to 900 GB should work.

Could not believe how easy it was to swap out the hard drive and everything. I downloaded the firmware and also used the backup feature to back up my stuff. But I had read I still had to back up all the other user sales on to a USB key so I had manually saved all the kids games along with my own just to be safe. Well they were ALL on the backup when I restored it! I wish I would have known that as it would have been even easier. Maybe they improved that aspect with one of the latest updates. Hopefully I have no troubles but it's the same drive as my old one - just bigger and slightly faster at 7200 rpm. Great reviews for PS4 guys.

I have a DS4 with a wonky left analog stick. Basically if you move the stick towards 3 o'clock the actual on-screen movement is to 5 o'clock.

I take good care of my stuff. My controllers are in no way abused.

With that said, the sticker on the underside is worn and unreadable so the serial numbers can't be read.

I've thought about calling Sony but without a serial number or receipt I'm guessing they won't help me. I've also thought about buying a new controller at Walmart, cleaning the broken one up, moving the sticker from the new one to the old one and returning the old one for a refund.

Anyone have any thoughts on this? Advise? Experience?

Thanks.

I've had to remove the springs out of the triggers for both my controllers, luckily I have not had issues with either analog sticks on either controller.

If it was me I'd try to buy one then remove the sticker and return to Walmart. They take anything back. Heck I just took back a bag of lettuce because the shit looked terrible 2 days after purchase and they replaced it :D

[SmoothPancakes]

Now that's a new one for me. Returning lettuce. :D

Fuck Walmart, sucks the area we live in or society has driven us to these huge non caring giants. I'll return a damn battery if given the chance, matter of fact I'm not sure why I haven't tried that one yet. LMAO

[steelerfan]

I have another controller with an X button that sticks so 2 of my 3 controllers for my main PS4 are unusable right now.

I think I'm going to run this scam twice, once at each of the 2 Walmarts within 10 minutes of me.

I doubt Sony will help (and if they do it will probably take a month or more) and ultimately through Walmart the problem lands back in Sony's lap where it belongs.

My only issue will be the wear on the pads on the analog sticks but I doubt, as snoop said, that Walmart Employee will give 2 shits.

I have generally been dissapointed by the PS4 controllers. Cheap quality IMO as compared to the XboxOne. I need to buy two new PS4 controllers this Christmas season.

[Rudy]

They will be on sale for black Friday so keep an eye out. The controllers are $75C over here and on sale for $50.

I've heard of someone returning tires to Wal-Mart before.....tires they drove on for a significant period of time. Due to their return policy, they had to take them.

I have some funny return stories involving a couple of PS1s. Don't have time to type it all out right now but I will later. :)

[JBHuskers]

When I worked there for a brief time, there was a very VERY used weed eater that was returned :D

[psusnoop]

Return it all!!!!

Looking forward to hearing about he PS1 stories. Lol

Yikes $30 for a bowling game, digital only? There is a video and screens here at the PSN store (https://store.playstation.com/#!/en-us/games/brunswick-pro-bowling/cid=UP2058-CUSA02994_00-HDDBOOTBPB000001).



Complete over 200 Career Achievements for hours of gameplay and even bigger rewards!

What does this even mean? Is Stovy writing copy for Sony now?

So are we bowling or not? Just purchase 12, enjoy perfect game.

[JBHuskers]

Yeah I knew I wasn't going to get it when I saw the physical copy for $50. I'll wait for it to be free or very discounted.

[bdoughty]

Yeah this is $10 or less for me. Does it even have online play? Did not see it mentioned. Leaderboards were shown in one of the screens. Better off anyway. After getting Rory from Amazon, my neighbor sold me his copies of NHL 16 and NBA 2K16. More games to not play while obsessing over Fallout 4. See JB, I buy used games. :P

As for Brunswick, haven't they had a history of crap games anyways?

From what I recall they were nothing special.
