Can you turn off the background game recording on PS4? Not something I'm likely to use so it's an unnecessary drain on resources.

I occasionally walk into Game if I am in town with nothing particular to do. Usually browse through the preowned stuff to see if there's anything worth having a go at. Rarely buy anything though.

Hmm but that Dark Souls 2 CE looks tasty

Just got my email confirming it and offering me to upgrade to one of 6 bundles:

6. PlayStation 4 Console with Call of Duty: Ghosts GAME Exclusive Limited Preorder Edition - £404.99
Already upgraded to bundle 3
Those bundle prices are rubbish. They dont look like the bundles that sony were talking about.
So after the news of all these special bundles arriving in the UK, I got the GAME email basically saying something else - "Upgrade your pre-order to these special bundle offers, which means you're paying only £50 per game!"
No thanks. £50 per game is ridiculous and I'm not paying it. It's reinforcing my thoughts about cancelling altogether and waiting until this nonsense settles down next year.

It's £63 on Amazon, it's where I ordered it from

Considering the RRP of the PS4 games are £55-£60, technically you could say it's a good deal.
As what some others have already said, I only buy from GAME if they have an edition of the game I'm looking for and can't get anywhere else. In this particular situation, Shopto were looking to charge me £23.99 shipping of each console, I wanted them at midnight and I also wanted to be able to trade in stuff toward them so GAME seemed like the best option. With buying games going forward, I'll be going back to Shopto.

My Xbox One is costing me nothing in terms of shipping from ShopTo

I don't use game or shopto as both are too expensive. Amazon are good for prices or I use Simply Games or The Game Collection.
errr shopto has free shipping
I rarely use Game anymore but for the initial console only price I think most places were the same so I placed one with Game and Amazon to see if either would get me one on launch day, was hoping for an email from Amazon today with some bundle offers but nothing so far...

For games, yes. For consoles? no. Northern Ireland isn't considered mainland UK so when you order a console (even a handheld) from them your only shipping option is '£23.99 - TNT Next Business Day Non-Mainland'.
Yeah it's stupid, the last time I ordered hardware from them was a PS Vita in December (shipping was free then) last year I believe this was shortly before they stopped giving reward points on their hardware orders. I love Shopto, just not for consoles -_-

Just got this from shopto. I ordered on Feb 21st (Day pre-orders went up). Roll on November is all I can say!
