A quick question, I have just paid for my year long psn subscription but have been given another subscription from a friend do I wait a year or do I apply it now and one carries on from when the other runs out?

 

[MOOGLEYS]

You can add it now.

 

[GIBURROWS]

Thank you kindly

Is anyone having trouble logging into the playstation store from the PS4? I bought my PS4 at the weekend, have updated it to latest software 3.0

I can enter my PSN user name and password, it logs into the ps store, but then logs out immediately!

Any suggestions?

Date and time set correctly?

Put disc in, should get progress bar under game icon - as soon as it disappears its installed.

That's only to tell you you can launch the game, it continues installing the remaining data in the background. You'll know when it's finished because the disc will stop being accessed.

The PSTV should not be worse than the VITA as it is basically a screenless VITA.

When selecting remote play what option are you choosing? One will connect directly to the PS4 (through your home network) and one will try to find your PS4 via the internet (allowing remote play outside of the home networks range).

Destiny has an amount of noticeable input lag but the game is playable.

Mine is, and always has been. Wired, wireless, direct... My vita is less laggy than my pstv for remote play

The pstv can only play a handful of vita games too

all correct! Tried again last night, still cant login, except by accessing ps store through the www browser.

So the US is getting a price drop on the PS4. Do you think the UK will follow as well? I'm in the market for one but dont need to buy for a few weeks yet.

Christmas is coming up so a price drop would make sense.

Ps4 has official rrp of £299.99 as of today, not sure if there's another before Christmas.

Ps now has launched in UK with subscription model.

£12.99 a month with a 30 day trial period. Some will find the price appealing others won't. But its looking better then individual rentals IMO.

I think £8.99-£9.99 would be the sweet spot for me.

WTF so they've $=£ it, no real reason to do that on a streaming service

EDIT: Ignore - the US version isn't $12.99

It's already happened here.

It was asia first then EU then the US last.

Apart from offers from retailers there won't be an official drop here before next year I imagine.

Backwards compatible hardware must look appealing now with the psnow price? Sure id pay an extra £100 for the console to be BC...

Not really, I still have a PS3 and if you don't, you can get one for less than £100 anyway.

PSNow isn't just about backwards compatibility though. You don't need a dedicated console to use it for starters.

Would you stretch to a tenner?

 

[neoglow]

£12.99 per month for old games?!? Jog on.
Unfortunately it's no cheaper with a US PSN account either, their sub is $19.99
