why don't you just create a US account and buy digital games? you get games @ launch for cheaper than UK retail.

but obviously waiting for pre-owned bargains is a lot cheaper.

You just answered your own question..

I just get games through my local independent who are extremely aggressive on pricing.

Had £20 of Tesco vouchers, so doubled them up and got Farming Simulator 2015 and Wolfenstein the Old Blood on Monday night.

Got Farming Simulator for the Kids, but have been addicted to it so far that haven't even opened Wolfenstein yet.

Farming Simulator? WTF is this a real thing? lol

Anyone know if it's possible to upload my sons sub account saves to my ps+ cloud?

 

[JUMPURS]

Ordered God of War, comes tomorrow with Prime. Looking forward to something new to keep me occupied the next couple of weeks.

Couple of weeks? I done it in a couple of days lol

It certainly is - strangely addictive in the just need to make a little more money to upgrade this way.

Looks to be an easy Platinum Trophy as well for people who care about that.

Does anyone know if I bought a headset with an inline amplifier whether I would be able to increase volume over and above the PS4's ridiculously low max volume if I connected direct to the pad with a 2-1 splitter?

Additionally, is the ridiculously low max volume also present on headsets that connect via USB to the front of the PS4 (For example if I bought a USB adapter to plug my headset into) ?

My PC headset is completely wasted on the PS4 as it does not allow a high enough volume to properly hear anything but I really cannot be bothered with faffing around using mixamps et al.

I can imagine.

I laughed at the idea a while ago, was on twitch and i decided to watch a stream to see what the deal was.... 45 mins later...

More importantly a 'Super Star Wars' port.

 

[Nismo]

Horrible controller, but I'd buy that Vader console in a heartbeat.

Super Star Wars too Wonder if all the SNES games are being re-released?

 

[peahead]

I wonder if they have improved the quality of the controller also

Did i read that correctly? Super star wars on PlayStation with enhanced graphics and trophy support? Nah. It can't be, it can't be the SNES classic.

Omg if true. The nostalgia from that is strong in this one lol loved that game , by today standard its maybe a bit crummy but I'll play it if only for memories...

Edit - psn blog says it is SNES super star wars. Ok Sony / Disney you're opened Pandora's box. Get on with the other two super star wars games, then x wing please... Lol

buy a xonar u3 (£20).

but to really get the best out of any headset you need a mixamp

I wouldn't ask my worst enemy to use the 3.5mm connection on the DS4

 

[Tattooed]

Picked up a cheep copy of call of duty advanced warfare. played halfway though it, wnet back to the next day and lost half of my saves for the game. has anyone else had this problem?

So far I have a couple of things in the mix

As you say - a U3.
Steelseries wireless H headset
Creative labs E1 mini amp.

My concern with the U3 is simply volume - how loud will it be on the PS4's maximum volume? As far as I know the U3 is simply a DAC, not an amp so will I still struggle with volume, or does the PS4 output full fat volume through USB?

At the moment the E1 is looking like a good compromise to use as an in-line amp from the DS4 to my headset (DS4 > 3.5mm TRRS 4 pole male link cable > E1 > Headset).

I have read a couple of people have done that with success. The only concern there is the actual base sound quality that is provided to the pad over bluetooth. It seems to sound OK, jut low volume - but I suppose it could be hiding a multitude of sins that will become plain once it is amplified.

I am struggling to motivate myself to use a mixamp or even the Wireless H to be honest. My TV stand is tidy and due to the PS4 having no USB connections on the back (Seriously WTF were you thinking Sony?) I will be forced to have untidy cables showing because you have to use a USB cable as a voice pass through into whatever mixer/amp box you choose

Not with CoD AW, but I have with BF4. Got half way through and it completely deleted my single player saves when I went on MP. Grrrr

Have you made sure it has uploaded your saves to the cloud?
