Gaming PlayStation 4 (Console)

Will games go down in price anytime soon? They're pretty expensive at the minute. Really want to play Madden

Probably not during the launch window no, you will find individual bargains in sales now and again but I wouldn't expect "normal" prices anytime soon.

Shit low-selling games will go down within a couple of months but I imagine that prices will stay at current levels for a while. GameStop UK are selling games at £45 which isn't bad when most PS3 games were around £40.
 
Really enjoying this so far!!

Assassins Creed is stunning - spent a few hours clearing Havana for all side objectives before moving on to next mission per the story!

FIFA is pretty standard as far as I can tell, I'm pretty shit at it, but easy to kill a few hours on it.

Not tried Knack yet, might leave that until I get back from NY.

Couldn't log onto the PSN last night though-is this a common issue given the new console etc?

Maintenance work yesterday & today for the PSN. maybe tomorrow too but I'm not 100% sure
 
Middle East launch this Friday, so what Arab and repatriated Yiddy or other Jewish people are buying one? South Africa and others are getting it Friday as well.

I've pre-orderd mine. :drool:

Waiting for the phone call on Friday!

Though they only offered some super shit bundles here.

2 options:
PS4 + 1 controller - R6,299 (current Rand to GBP exchange rate around +-R16:64GBP)
PS4 + 1 controller + Killzone - R6,899
1 controller going for R799
PS4 Eye going for R799

A company called "Phoenix Tech" had the best deals and bundles, at the best prices but after doing some research, it seems they sell "grey" products, which aren't covered under the normal manufacturer (Sony) warranty, so I thought at the sake of saving a few pennies, I'd rather give it a skip.

What games to buy? NBA, Fifa, AC and what else?

Battlefield 4 if you want a multiplayer FPS or Killzone if you want an FPS with a decent story line.

NFS Rivals is decent too.
 
Finally got my freaking console, only to realize I need a travel adapter to convert from UK to Sweden.

Does the console/FIFA come with a free PS Plus trial? Haven't had time to look through the attached papers.
 
There should be a PS+ trial of some sorts, but I've not really looked, my PS+ annual membership was renewed in October.

Also, why do you need an adapter? Just change the fecking plug or buy a new cable (they are standard cables - the power supply unit is universal and inside the console)!

How do I change the plug? I need to purchase a whole new cord for that no? Usually when I get stuff from UK I use the adapter below, I accidentally sold mine along the PS3 this time :/

You can either buy a new cable or cut the wire and connect it to your plug. I'm from Manchester, I've had to do this multiple times because when you use an adaptor you generally can't put two next to each other in the multiple socket extender, especially here in spain where they like to have the pins in the sockets on the diagonal.

The physical parts of the sockets are different, but in the end there are three wires, Live, Neutral, and Earth. It's not difficult to rewire the plug.

I see what you mean now, never had to do that since there is more than enough space. I was just worried you were on about potential damage that come off electronic conversion or something like that. Thanks anyway.

If you've never had PS+ before, there's a 14 day free trial.
 
So all of us that got the free trial after psn hackgate aren't eligible right?
 
Was I stupid to assume all sound could come out of the headphones plugged into the controller?

My headphone cord is too short to reach the TV :(

You can I'm sure???
 
I plugged them in but sound is still coming from the TV @Big-Red

Edit: Never mind, found a guide online.. apparently, you long press the PS button and chose adjust devices
 
Every time I try and play Fifa I get this message "CE-34878-0" and a blue screen comes up. It's so frustrating. Apparently happens a ton in Battlefield and 2K14 too. Anyone experienced this?

Servers are attacked or down...

Players must make sure that Battlefield 4 is not running on PlayStation 4 and then follow the following steps:
Step 1: Go to Settings -> PSN-> Sign out
Step 2: Now offline, start Battlefield 4.
Step 3: When you get to the main menu, tap the PS button go to your profile and log into to PSN.
Step 4: Now online, select multiplayer and begin playing.
Step 5: Play for few rounds until CE-34878-0 error pops up
Step 6: Follow Step 1 again
The above fix does not solve the problem completely, but it will fix the issue of game crashing on the main menu, allowing you to play the game for an hour.
Fix 2
Players must keep on hitting the X button and jump to the multiplayer mode before the error shows up.

Tried a lot of the fixes online but the one that worked was just deleting all the data from the game in question and reinstalling it. Cheers.
 
Is they anywhere to rent PS4 games, or somewhere that might start to? Would like to play the likes of Assassins Creed & Killzone but not really fussed about the online aspect of them, after the story is completed I doubt I'd play it again.
