*** The Official Playstation 4 (PS4) Thread ***

I know a few people in here were considering swapping the HDD for a SSHD or SSD:

Boot
Default 25.67s
Hybrid 20.3s
SSD 19.5s

Knack Disc
Default 39.67s
Hybrid 33.67s
SSD 34s

Killzone Downloaded
Default 60s
Hybrid 42s
SSD 39s

Resogun Downloaded
2/3 of a second difference


Looks like I'm going to buy a 1TB SSHD!

Yeah the hybrid prices are easily affordable. Very impressed with those improvements.
 
I had a play with the new controller at lunch, very impressed. The lengthier palm grips push your thumbs upwards so they're in a much better position. This coupled with the indentations and the improved triggers add up to a huge improvement overall. Well done Sony. :)
 
I wish i had pre orderd one ealier i kept putting it off now theres no where left taking pre orders so i can get one for xmass looks like last minuet ebay is my own option and they are going for silly money on there :mad:

There's at least 1 place still selling them for release that I know of but its an ocuk competitor so I can't put it here. It mainly sells pc stuff.

keep looking around, ASDA had an increase in stock so started selling more launch day consoles a few days ago and Tesco were selling some with Knack that i managed to get for launch day ordering this morning so they are still popping up and even if you dont want the game any order will come bundled with chances are you will still pay less then ebay prices and the trade-in/sale values should stay high for a few weeks atleast
 
This might sound dumb but are all the high street shops going to be stocking consoles in store after the release date? I understand people who want to pre order it to guarantee it on the dayof release etc, but is there not consoles allocated to shops so you can just go in and buy one? or will we not see them in shops until next year?

Amazon are still offering bundles for delivery before Christmas, but not standalone consoles.
 
I'm Abit stuck on which hard drive I should get, could anyone help please ? Looking for 1tb or maybe 1.5tb unless it's not that much more for a 2tb :)

Is it possible for me to use my 2tb pc hard drive and put the 500gb in my pc?

Thanks

Is it a desktop or laptop drive? i suppose you could rig something up with sata cable extenders and power extenders if you wanted to some some moola
 
A lot for not being able to wait 2 weeks! Both working okay?
including fee's and shipping i ended up paying a little bit under retail than i would have over here! and Yeah they both have no issues! I will say one thing, the controllers are a massive step up over the DS3
 
Why anyone would spend all that money on a SSHD to save a few seconds is beyond me, particularly when you consider that is a few more games you have spent there.

The point is that if you're looking to upgrade to 1TB the best solution for both capacity and speed (and cost) would be to buy a hybrid. It's not just about the speed. Hybrids can be bought very cheaply so why wouldn't you go for the capacity and the speed increase over a HDD?
