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

I don't think the installation process is going to be doing random writes to an SSD, and sequential writes do not impede performance over time. Remember, it is the sequential write process that actually can restore an SSD to full read/write performance without TRIM in use.

Essentially, because of the installation process going on with PSN installed games, it could be "fixing" any issues that the SSD would suffer without a TRIM-aware operating system anyway.

Clearly the SSD is the fastest of the three once again getting to the menu 5.5 seconds faster than the stock drive (nearly 25%)

Assassin's Creed IV saw a much more dramatic improvement in load times of saved games, loading 32% faster than the stock hard drive configuration.

Yeah I thought Blag Flag was flying now.

Anyone know how to put the game face (already created on PC just now) onto the PS4 Fifa 14. Everytime I click the game face thingie ma jig on Fifa 14, it says to goto the site where I just created it... I guess I have to link it some how.

wow 9.5? It's more like a technical demo of the motion capabilities of the DS3 / DS4 more than a game.. So there's nothing to complete? no levels or anything? nothing to save? Admittedly after 5 mins of playing i went back to Fifa / COD.. So never gave it a chance.. I did try again this morning but only got to that 5mins before saying ok, I'm done.

It has levels and progress within it, but its much more than an experience than a game per se. Comes from the company that made fl0w and Journey so dont expect anything that resembles normal game mechanics at all...

Its a safe bet I think you wont like it...

Wow! Just went into check my Amazon order after checking the comments about them getting more in on the 11th a few pages back.

I ordered on the 1st Nov, which is fairly late, but it was still guaranteed for Christmas and about 2 weeks before the cut off date.

Now when I go into my order details, is states;

"We thought you should know that we're experiencing a delay with your order. We apologise for any inconvenience. Please take note of the revised dispatch and delivery estimates marked in red below."

"The following item will arrive after 25 Dec 2013."
 
Already said it a few posts ago but I think the stock drive is fast enough.

What price range would good 2tb hard drives cost for the ps4. I have more than half my drive full already.

That's an interesting point, I hadn't even considered that. Is Trim needed on a hybrid drive?
Click to expand...

nah mate - The memory part of the hybrid drive acts more like a cache, and its all definately built into the actual controller. I could have sworn SSD's need OS support for TRIM though.....

If you look at the stats from some of the tests, it's a far wiser choice to opt for a 1Tb SSHD than it is for a 1Tb SSD for PS4 use. The jump in performance from a HDD to SSHD is worth it but not from a SSHD to a SSD.

PS - Using a 750Gb XT SSHD in mine from day one - runs sweet! :)

In case anyone else needs to order the cable, I just purchased it for £4.99 via TurtleBeach's help line as advised in their support email above.

I'll let you know how I get on.

It's now available on amazon uk if you search for turtle beech playstation 4 chat cable
 
Here is a 30 day ps plus code 2r8n 2gnf p4h5. I assume this is for people who don't have ps plus as when I enter it states the code is invalid, and I assume that is because I already have ps plus. Also a credit or debit card is required to use this code. However you can cancel at the end of your trial and make sure your auto renewal is switched off otherwise you will be charged.
 
Is there any point driving around the supermarkets to look for stock or is it a non starter?

Reading that Sony has promised a substantial stock boost in the next few weeks, glad they recognise this is the time to really go for it and build a large user base before the Xbox has a chance to hit back.

That wasn't a fanboy comment, just makes good business sense for them

http://www.amazon.co.uk/gp/feature....&pf_rd_t=101&pf_rd_p=427566447&pf_rd_i=300703



basically with the first link it tells you how to get 2 copies of BF4 for ps3 or 360 for £22.50 each.

on the second link it shows you how to get £37 for those copies in vouchers to be used for the games mentioned.

was getting all the links together for all you impatient people and i wanted to see if it worked.


anyway it's £14.50 off either of those 3 games.

involves a bit of work obviously
