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

yes, if you've never had ps+ before and have a psn account then sign in, go to the ps store and grab 14 days free ps+

if you don't have a psn account I believe it asks you during the sign up process. if you've had ps+ before on a psn account you intend to use then sadly I think the 14 days free won't apply as its only free for 14 days if you're never sub to ps+ before.

Never had PS+ before so that's all good.

Yes you can, check out Cdkeys.com ps plus is cheaper & like them on facebook to get 5% off

I'll probably go that root as I saw they are cheaper for 12 months.
 
Finally got a dispatch email from Gamestop, hopefully have my PS4 tomorrow, already have all the PS+ games except Contrast, mainly want Resogun so that's good.

no doubt they were bombarded with orders being the cheapest.

being a day late isn't so bad imo, might be to you, but I had zero issues with mine tbh.

if the £20 wasn't worth saving you should have just went to argos/supermarkets and picked one up.
 
I just realised, I didn't buy PS+, I know it comes with 14 days, but will that trial allow me to get Outlast tonight at least and then buy a full 3/12 month tomorrow?

Yeah it will, enjoy your purchase :)

Any problem with it let me know as I'm sure I have a trial code somewhere at home.

The main issue I had with them is that their customer service isn't the quickest, going from HUKD and Twitter it wasn't just me, seems there's a lot of customers that had ordered Monday and had no movement on their order or replies from emails/Twitter.
 
Installing my SSHD atm and the PS4 system file is taking forever, I should have downloaded it yesterday.

Just in case anyone is wondering what the performance is like

What to buy?
Consider boot times before making your decision on what Hard Drive is best.

Boot Times:

Stock HDD – 25 Seconds to Boot
Hybrid Drive – 20 Seconds to Boot
SSD Drive – 19 Seconds to Boot

Game Launch Times

Stock HDD – 42 Seconds
Hybrid Drive – 37 Seconds
SSD Drive – 36 Seconds

Downloaded Game Launch Times

Stock HDD – 60 Seconds
Hybrid Drive – 45 Seconds
SSD Drive – 42 Seconds


The Hybrid Drive in the above tests was the same one as I bought, just larger but they should perform the same.

As you can see from the above Hybrid drives offer nearly SSD performance for nowhere near the cost for the size of them.

Main reason for buying is loading times on multiplayer games, I can get the edge if I load in faster in BF4 I can quickly jump into a tank and get going before they are all taken and have to resort to running or jumping out a helicopter, etc.

More info here http://boxclash.com/ps4-hard-drive-upgrade-guide/

apparently there is a compatible 7200RPM drive but I don't know why you would pick that over a hybrid unless you don't play multiplayer and play a lot of single player games like tomb raider. would have liked if they had tested a 7200rpm drive alongside all of the above.
 
Been using an SSHD in mine since day one - only used the included hdd to make sure it powered up ok when I first got it.

Well pleased - luckily I managed to get the older 7200rpm sshd so it should perform quicker than the one in them tests you've listed above.

Still got 400gb+ free out of the 750Gb drive I got - lol (Got all freebie games + BF4 + AC4 on it at mo)
 
I installed a 1TB SSHD in my PS4 as soon as I bought it, to be honest I cant say whether its faster or not as I never really tried it with the standard drive I just wanted the extra space and thought I may a well got for a SSHD :).

The 500gb from the PS4 went into my PS3 so nice upgrade all round .

is it a seagate?

are you sure it's 7200rpm sshd?

i did some reading online and everyone that had one of them couldn't use it in a ps4, it was incompatible, something to do with how it works rather than the dimensions of the drive.
 
armored core! :) excellent game. loved upgrading my mechs.

I was about to say this. I also only had the demo but it was so much fun. I would have bought the game but this was back in the day where I only had about £2 pocket money a week.
 
Has anyone experienced an error CE-34878-0 ? My PS4 keeps crashing at a certain point when playing the new Lego movie game.

its a generic error and I had this quite a few times with lovefilm... I removed the app and reinstalled it, seems to have fixed it...

I'm sure I read somewhere some that got this lost game saves as well... annoying

Had no issue's so far with my two other games, Skylanders and Lego marvel superheroes so is the issue with the game itself, Lego movie?

I don't know, but try deleting the game install and installing again, I read some faq from Sony about this error and this was one fixed advised by Sony. don't delete your save game though unless you want to start again...

Deleted the game, reinstalled and gave the DVD a clean also and my daughter can now get past the point where it used to crash so she's happy again :)
 
I got to the generator part but it wasn't for me. I'm very happy with the Vita now though. Think I'll get FF X HD for it and Infamous can wait because I think it's going to be about the same as the others. A lot of the hype comes from it being the first half decent exclusive out since launch drought.
