Lads how do you activate the 14 days free trial?
I am already a paid up PSN+ member but would like to add the 14 days if possible. I didn't receive any voucher or code in my bundle?

It is only for new accounts, i dont think you can get it if you were a previous PSN user. If you have set up a new account recently, download the app (android or itunes) and got to store and membership options and click the 14 day trial, thats what i had to do when I set mine up for thr first time

Don't know if this has been posted anywhere, but a video from PlayStation Ireland with highlights from the launch. Any boardsies in it?

War Thunder seems like good fun but I'm not sure if I knew what I was doing for the majority of it! When you crash a couple of times do you just have to wait around for x minutes for the next round to start?

No, you can leave the battle, and collect your XP, you've done your bit. I have 4 planes per battle, 2 bombers and 2 fighters. It keeps getting better if you stick with it. I did all the tutorials and it helped.

How do you leave though? I seem to be stuck on that screen showing the leaderboard etc until I get the chance to 'return to hanger'.

I think if you press Options, it shows up.

Sure I hit every button last night but will try again later.

Is anyone having trouble with the EA servers on Fifa? Keep getting logged out during pro clubs 10 mins into the match, which results in a 3-0 loss. Wreck the head

And for some reason whenever im in a party, i keep on leaving the party automatically and having to rejoin only for the same thing to happen a few mins later

Finding the controller a bit awkward as well since i changed over from Xbox. Not a fan of the rubber on the analogs, my thumb keps slipping.

Think BF4 is amazing. Would of loving a good RPG on launch tho!

Same is happening to me with pro clubs and party chat!!

A few people have commented on having the same issue, same over at Neogaf as well.

If you got it from Amazon they will send you out a new one, if not ask in the store you got it in or call the Sony support line.

Bombing in War Thunder is so much fun. I should play a different game at some stage, maybe.

Kamikaze is even more fun if you don't have a bomber(even if you do).

Kamikazi'ed a battle ship the other day.

Do you know is that for the bundled 'not to be sold seperately' version as well?

CEX say they'll give 42 euro for it - again, dunno if it needs to have a barcode for them to accept it. I'd be keen to get rid of it quick enough; it looks good but ain't no way I'll be playing through to the end.

It is not really worth it at the moment, you only have one game and the ability to play with the little robots, but it is really only a novelty that gets boring very quickly.

Emmm... Lads... if ps4 is in stand by mode. You cant tuern it on with vita and activate cross play?

I was a bit dissapointed that I could not play in my bed as I though it was too far from PS4, but I am in same room and trying to turn on ps4 with vita remote play. So looks like you got to turn on physicly ps4 and then use remote play?

Do you have the PS4 set to keep its internet connection going when in standby?

Edit - just tested it, I can turn on the PS4 with the Vita.
