Gaming PlayStation 4 (Console)

Yeah the rubber has changed but it seems to be the actual plastic underneath isn't as rounded and a little sharper against the rubber. The rubber on the ps4 also seems to have a seam that directly rubs against this which creates a weak point. Think I'm going to order some PS3 rubbers and stick them on instead of replacing them like for like.
 
Does anyone else still not actually know where the power and eject buttons are on the console itself? I just used the controller but always seem to make it do stuff while cleaning it or accidentally touching it, I can't find them when I try though!

They have icons on them, albeit quite small. Get some glasses ( ͡° ͜ʖ ͡°)
 
Has anyone else sent their controller back to Sony while it was still under warranty? Just got tired of the warn thumb grip and sticking R2 and heard other people have had success with getting a new controller due to this. So filled out the online form and sent it off today.
 
Anyone got/played 'The Golf Club'?

I used to enjoy the old Tiger Woods games back on the PS2 but they seem to have come to an end, so I'm wondering whether to pick up a copy of the last TW game on the PS3 or try The Golf Club on the 4?

I never use the power button, but always have trouble ejecting discs
 
Why on earth can't I purchase a one month Playstation Plus with money that's already in my wallet without entering credit card details? This is madness.
 
I just got an Xperia Z3 and the remote play feature is amazing. I also got a free copy of Destiny
 
So just got my new ps4 this morning turning it on done all the setup stuuf everything was fine.Started Dragon Age Inquisition and got to the character creation stage when the system just turns itself off.

It now will not turn back on properly blue light flashes but I can't get to home screen.I can turn on safe mode alright,but it still won't restart using safe mode.

I have tried a lot of suggestions on Sony's support site and nothing is working.Anyone else have this issue and what did you do?

Blue light of death?

Yeah, its getting ridiculous tbh. I'll give it to Microsoft, they seem pretty good with reliability of their network

The Xbox One seems to be up a fair amount more than PSN but it's not great. On 360 I honestly don't remember Xbox live ever being down. I'm sure it was but it would have been so rare and dealt with so fast that I genuinely can't remember it happening one time.

There were 2 days where it was down for like 5 hours but it was scheduled and we'd been told about it weeks in advance.
 
Positive thing from this psn down thingy is that finally I would be able to finish Last of Us. Also, forgot that I had stick of truth on Ps3. Will be starting that soon.

Next gen hasn't been good for either, live has been better but not great

You are right though on the 360 it just never happened at all

Edit: this post wasn't harsh enough on PSN. It's been shocking, especially in the last 6 months

Sony need to sort these issues but to be fair to them they have been hacked and attacked constantly over a long period (well publicized) and have probably mitigated thousands of attacks.

Microsoft have had issues and they are as big as you get along with Google and Amazon when it comes to cloud hosting. Sony should work with them and the security companies more but they will want to be careful, Google will be loving the fact they have been given the chance to air that film on their platform.

Xbox Live down and PSN down: Group take credit as Sony and Microsoft confirm issues

Attackers know days like today are popular for games to be played online. They also recently did it at the Easter holiday break. Maximum exposure.
 
PSN is down, but why can't I play GTA V offline? :mad:

Happened with me to. PSN is down but for some reason I couldn't even get into GTA story mode! Ended up removing the Ethernet and that seems to have worked for now.
 
Pretty frustrating alright, I was going to download Dragon Age. It's at a good price on the PSN... if I could access it.
 
Just got my PS4 and am trying to join PSN for the first time. Am finally able to enter my details and everything after hours of not being able to but now it's stuck verifying my email and won't let me progress. :(
 
Got my new PS4 from Santa this morning but I haven't set it up yet. I got a download code for 'The Last of Us' from Amazon - I assume it can't be used and downloaded until the PSN is back up and running?

I guess that's also the same with redeeming my PS Plus code? Does PS Plus require any downloading or waiting once the PSN is working again, or is it pretty much instant?

Yeah you won't be able to download the Last Of Us until it's working properly, which is a shame. Same with the PS Plus code, though that is pretty much an instant process when it is working again.
 
I'm going to the US in a few days and I want to buy 2-3 new games, obviously one will be GTA V, can you recommend me other games?

If you like scary games, Alien: Isolation. I'm a nervous wreck whenever I play it. Infamous: Second Son is great fun too and should be cheap now.

Still can't sign in to PSN, those hacking no-life twats can just feck off.

I forgot to say, I already played infamous, Watch Dogs, Tomb Raider, TLOU, and Black Flag.
 
The fact that people give them the attention they want isn't helping.
The most annoying thing about this hack is it can't play any games I purchased on the store.

Do you have your console set at the primary? You should be able to if thats the case, obviously if you are sharing with another console then you are shit out of luck when you can't sign in.
 
I bought driveclub yesterday before psn went down. Wanted to play it today, turned it on and it just hung. Even my other games were hanging. So thinking that something might have happened during the driveclub download, I deleted it. But my other games were still hanging.

Then I realised psn was down. Turned the internet connection off and everything works. Well except that I now have to redownload driveclub again..

I had to return my original console because it broke, that was set as my primary console. It won't let me activate this console because of that.
