I have no issue with the 360 controller. None. Its the analog placement. The controller is fine, I just cant use it.

They are actually in the exact same place on the controller, but they are a bit smaller, been that way since day one, is this your first Playstation, not trying to be smart.

Yeah, except for the fact that I literally & physically cant use it due to my disability.But sure I can just break & reset my bones & then untighten my hand muscles.

I would sell it, but I dont want to be waiting around for a few months for an Xbox to become available.

There are loads on Adverts that will swap you.On Adverts go to " Consoles" and search " PS4 " ...guys want a XBO to PS4 swap there.

I thought half of the PS4 boardies would be streaming their modest bits on Twitch by now :eek:

Had a PS1 & PS2. Similar issues but my hand was more flexible then & smaller. Could game fine.


The major issues i'm having is accidentally tapping the touchpad & pressing the lb on command.

How Soon Is Now

Ok so setting up stuff on my ps4 spent ages last night setting up playlist for fifa as i do this every year i prefer having my own music playing.

Plug in my external hard drive nothing........ i had no ****ing idea the ps4 did not support any sort of outside use for the usb other then sony content.

This is actually ****ing bull**** that means can no longer play videos music or even view ur pictures threw the machine.

I take it thats custom soundtracks gone by this method as well.

****ing joke seriously i know it might seem like a small issue but for me its very very very ****ing annoying i payed 400 euro for something that doesnt even do the simple stuff the older machine does. It will make Fifa for example really annoying to play part of what i loved was being able listen my own music threw the game without having run it from my pc.

You are a few weeks behind in your anger, this was known weeks ago, I know it is a pain in the ass, but it will be sorted in the next patch.

It has been known for weeks and it looks like it will be patched back in sooner or later.

The Xbox is the same.

Well, my lovely ps4 works perfectly so far! Touch wood! Though weird thing it does not recognise me having ps+. I try buy ps+ but it says I got it already. Weird stuff.

Anyway, here it is, me and buddy playing killzone and it is awesome.

I think there is a 30 day free Music unlimited trial you can use in the meantime. Check the Playstation store.

edit here is the PC link https://store.sonyentertainmentnetwork.com/#!/en-ie/games/music-unlimited-30-day-premium-trial/cid=IP9100-NPIA09003_00-CC0GENPREMIUM30T

It is a big mother ****er is it not, you were rght, barely fit in the bag and it started drizzling, still got it home walking

If you have the PS+ issue the only way around it is setting up a new account.

Phew!! Thought it was meant to be solid blue the whole time

Anyways guys, enjoy your new toys!

Something that I just noticed, was downloading Warframe and was chatting to a few people, the PS4 turned itself off, but when I turned it back on it told me that it had turned off due to inactivity, it was about a half hour, but in the settings it told me I could change this option which I did, so have a look in the setting if you plan on leaving it on all night downloading stuff.

Mine has gone, blue, white, a weird shade of yellow and now red as its dying, the other controller seems charged already....

Mine doesn't seem to go into standby mode at all, I tried doing it so I could charge my controllers overnight but the lights on the controllers just went off. I've enabled the option to charge while in standby too.

The controllers take a modern phone charger .You do not need a console to charge the controllers,just a ph charger...Sweet.

Nope not at the start, you have to change the settings yourself, everything is how you remembered it on the PS3, it is just finding it :pac: but after a quick look through all the settings you will be at home again.

Yeah, huge. I really really love it and killzone looks great. SP is fun so far. Shooting feels very satisfying. I am not even talking about that sexy sexy recharge sniper sound!

As for ps+. It shows that I don't even have! When I go and try buy it it says I already got 3+1 month... I can't play online now. this sucks. What do you mean making a new account?!?!

Are we not suppose to get the clip for camera?

For any trial with Sony you usually have to make a new user account, it has been a long running glitch for some reason, know when I tried to extend my PS+ the last time it would not take it and had to create a new account, used that same account with the PS4 and have had no issues.
