So what happens when Sony shuts down the servers for their older consoles?

You continue to play the up to date console you have

 

[Kreeeee]

You continue to play the up to date console you have

I still play Super Nintendo games on occasion, how do we do that in 25 years time on digital download systems?

It's not like I can put my digital games onto a replacement console if mine breaks either as I can't transfer the licences without PSN/XBL/Steam being active.

amazing quality b roll footage of the Order.

Agreed looks amazing. The only thing that lets it down for me are the quick-time events. I think they're pointless.

Currently a 500 gb stock. But just about to upgrade to a 2 tb as I can get a Samsung 2 tb in a caddy, remove the drive from the caddy and use the drive in the ps4 and use the 500 gb in the spare caddy..

500 gb isn't big enough I feel, some will argue it is. I don't think it is.

Just fitted the 2TB Samsung into my PS4 works a treat.

No doubt youve been asked this question but mind telling me the model of the Samsung you put in? I know people seem to use Seagate but I wouldnt touch them myself while WD have a nasty habit of soldering their HDD connections - Samsung seems a safe purchase and Im getting to the point where 500Gb isnt enough too

It's a ST2000LM003.

I'm pretty sure Samsung and Seagate are the same company now though...

Same here, eurogamer had df article on this, using a Samsung 2 tb external drive which they removed from the caddy and it was in fact a Seagate drive inside the caddy..

Only thing that concerns me about contemporary gaming; a lot of games are going to be useless minus patches.

I think they are as I have 1tb sshd which is seagate and the model number is St2000LM14 I think.

Ta dude

Oh they are - I just dont see Samsung not using their own brand name on their higher quality products. Might be the same across both, but my prior experience is to avoid Seagate when it comes to HDDs

Glad you posted might look into that then

You can get that external for less than £70 which is cheaper than buying the drive separate. only downside is y warranty claims might be void if there are sings of opening on the enclosure.

Still a nice saving though and you get a caddy for the 500gb drive...

 

[Soulja]

Had anybody had issues with psn this week? Sometimes I can't join parties, friends and messages won't load. I'm getting errors all the time in destiny. I'm trying to work out if it's issues with psn or my Internet.

Yeah I should have bought one in my last round of portable external HDD buying but ended up with 2x2Tb WD Ultras instead. Im not that near to the 500Gb limit but know its never going to be a good time to swap over

I like the free caddy idea though when I bought dedicated caddies theyve fried my spare HDDs!

Like you Im on VM but not had any real issues other than Destiny contacting servers message a few times in the last week. Been pretty solid but messages are a PSN issue for sure (it seems to happen when US wakes up), sometimes I have random NAT issues in party chat but a quick leave/rejoin fixes that usually - friends list has been bulletproof since they fixed that

It's the other way

Seagate external with a Samsung inside.

It was down to £55 a couple of weeks back on HUKD. I bought the same drive for a server a few months ago.

If I get a PS4 this Christmas it's the first thing I'll do. Was painful replacing the drive in the PS3 and waiting for all the games to download again.

Can't say I've noticed any problems, not really played online apart from driveclub time trials though.
Friends list has been OK though for me.

Im fairly certain you would be in the minority though. Most people ditch their old consoles as soon as they upgrade.

 

[ic1male]

I think the only way you are going to preserve games for future is by getting them on PC. Which obviously doesn't help with console exclusives.

No problems here, but that's probably because I haven't turned on my PS4 this week.

 

[redrooster303]

I've had issues all week, I can't even get into destiny anymore (been fine since release) with all multitude of animal errors and can't connect to server.

Psn is dropping out a lot also.

I'm supposed to be in a raid tonight but it might not happen.

I spent all night last night opening ports etc to no avail.

Its honestly to the point now where I can't use the ps4 for online which is a shame as I've had no issues since launch.

With BT by the way.

Thanks for the replies guys. I guess it's down to my isp.

I'm also with BT and I've been having the exact same issues. Hopefully they sort it out soon!
