Thursday Next Posted September 30, 2016 Report Share Posted September 30, 2016 It was across all retail in UK, you'll be lucky to find one now though I'd have thought. Most likely Sony clearing the decks ahead of PS4 Slim launch. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheFlyingGerbil Posted September 30, 2016 Report Share Posted September 30, 2016 the one I was looking at was 1tb, and I'm guessing was from around the time Starwars was released since that was a pack-in. It was the "C chassis" which i think is the latest one before the slim. too late now anyway. Probably for the best though, saved myself some money at least. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Eleven Posted November 14, 2016 Report Share Posted November 14, 2016 (edited) The PS4 Pro is so fucking dumb. So I got one. I figured what the hell get in early so I can actually take advantage of the improvements on games I play like Rise of the Tomb Raider and later on FFXV! Also due to SATA III load times seem to have been improved for SSDs, hopefully even SSHDs have very noticeable improvements in speed. Not that I would notice it since I'm putting the SSHD in day one. Gonna get back to playing Witcher 3 on it, maybe do another full run (who has the time???) so improved load times would be a huge help.

Thursday Next Posted November 14, 2016 Report Share Posted November 14, 2016 I got one too. (Mostly as an excuse to get that 4K OLED LG I've been jonesing for.) It's pretty, the light bleed on the new controller is a good idea, but I still don't look at it much, so only really serves to let me know the controller is on.

deanb Posted November 14, 2016 Author Report Share Posted November 14, 2016 I wouldn't mind the new controller. I've actually a couple games that make use of the light (FO4 on PC being one of them) but it's super useless when the light is pointing down. Otherwise I hear PS4 Pro is a pretty hot commodity.

Thursday Next Posted November 14, 2016 Report Share Posted November 14, 2016 Eh? As in rarity? Or overheating issues? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheMightyEthan Posted November 14, 2016 Report Share Posted November 14, 2016 A pun on the overheating. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Thursday Next Posted November 14, 2016 Report Share Posted November 14, 2016 I see. Was not aware that there were overheating claims. I'll keep an eye on it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

deanb Posted November 14, 2016 Author Report Share Posted November 14, 2016 Yeah, given that's so far the only example I've seen I'm wary on the overheating issues. Could always be people blocking cooling, putting it right next to something else that's hot (it getting in winter people likely to be putting radiators n heater on). The word on a few games looking somehow worse I put more stock in given it's Digital Foundry with those results. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheMightyEthan Posted November 14, 2016 Report Share Posted November 14, 2016 Could also be legitimate but a one-off/very rare. When you sell tens/hundreds of thousands of anything you're bound to have a non-zero failure rate. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

deanb Posted December 22, 2016 Author Report Share Posted December 22, 2016 So quick question: If I was to back up my FFXV saves and take the disc with me and lean heavily on my brother n sign into my PSN account on his PS4, could I play FFXV on his console with my saves? I like to think the backup thing in PS+ should really help in this regard. I should note most of this is theoretical cos like while he's off viewing some post xmas racing so he's not gonna be on his PS4 for at least a day he never learnt the wonders of sharing as the youngest child n all.

TheMightyEthan Posted December 22, 2016 Report Share Posted December 22, 2016 I'm pretty sure it would work, yes. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes, you can log into his console and download your backed up saves. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mr. GOH! Posted February 2, 2017 Report Share Posted February 2, 2017 I think $250 is the sweet spot for selling a console. http://www.polygon.com/2017/2/2/14485372/sony-ps4-sales-q3-2016 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TheMightyEthan Posted March 8, 2017 Report Share Posted March 8, 2017 The fact that the extra horsepower is now available to games even without a pro patch is pretty nice. It obviously won't improve graphics, but it could certainly help a few games with performance issues. Why that wasn't a launch feature is beyond me. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
deanb Posted October 18, 2017 Author Report Share Posted October 18, 2017 PS4 getting a "mini dualshock" aimed at kids.https://blog.us.playstation.com/2017/10/18/introducing-the-mini-wired-gamepad-for-ps4/ Biggy for me is it's cheaper (mainly since it has no touchpad, vibration, sixaxis, wireless or headphone jack...god following apple like everyone). Assuming it comes to UK at a similar price point I'd happily pick up two, which'd give me four in total, great for letting smaller siblings join in n us adults have the regular pad. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hot Heart Posted October 20, 2017 Report Share Posted October 20, 2017 Sounds alright except for the wired bit. My sisters wrecked an amazing game back on the PS2 (Wacky Races) thanks to tripping over a controller wire. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CorgiShinobi Posted April 9, 2018 Report Share Posted April 9, 2018 One downside of PlayStation Vue, the DVR function doesn't update according to actual episode. It's only when the episode was originally meant to air. This means, while I got to watch FLCL Season 3 Episode 1 (April Fools airing), it didn't record the actual next episode of JoJo this past Saturday. I've already seen all of Stardust Crusaders, but I let my father use my Vue account so he can watch JoJo in English. Eventually the episode will become On Demand, meaning a formatted video, though not always higher quality. I suggested he could download the VRV app on his Amazon Fire TV stick and watch it subtitled. He wasn't quite interested in doing that, so I ended up telling him about the episode.

deanb Posted May 10, 2018 Author Report Share Posted May 10, 2018 So there's a PS4 compatible PSP emulator in some of the remastered games. This is great for hackers in running PSP games on PS4https://arstechnica.com/gaming/2018/05/hackers-find-official-usable-psp-emulator-hidden-in-ps4s-parappa/ 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
deanb Posted August 11, 2018 Author Report Share Posted August 11, 2018 I'm really really tempted by this. I've a big hard on for translucent electronics too. The 2TB drive and 4K is a nice lovely bonus (though not yet on a 4K TV it's only a matter of time). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
