Don't see a thread on it.

Nope, I love it as well, best looking game on the console so far, although I have not seen TLOU yet.

It is an issue with some TV's mainly LG's not the console, change the settings to 1080i and it should stop.

In fairness he'd want to find a better solution. 1080i compared to 1080p is sh1te.
I have the same issue with my ps3 for years on a samsung, when the screen goes black i disconnect the hdmi cable from the ps3 and tv (while there both still on) and just reconnect it again, usually sorts it out until the next time i turn them on.

I've a projector, not using a tele and I've my ps3 hooked up to it and it works no problem, it's only the ps4 that it happens with, changed things from auto to fixed and vice versa and still no luck, tried different hdmi cables and ports and nithing. I'm going to try exchange it for another one, it's incredibly annoying

Will this work as a charger for the DS4, lads?

Should do,

Any android or recent Nokia or BlackBerry cable should do it also if you have one knocking around...

They all run off the hard drive now, doesn't matter if it's a downloaded version or from a disc as it all gets installed to the hard drive.

Ffxiv is a truly stunning looking game on ps4.

If I bought my PS4 from amazon, how do I return it in relation to Sony and what not?

You send it back to Amazon if something is wrong.

cloud493

That sounds like a pain whatever happened to the days when Sony would exchange a console for you at the door, come to your house and everything.

Will Amazon not take it back if faulty? Dealing with Amazon may be quicker and less hassle! If u want to deal directly with SONY just ring 01 691 7379. Be prepared for a long wait and a long time on the phone with them, they will run through everything possible before offering a replacement or repair.

Honestly, from my experience, amazon are very good to deal with for returning faulty goods. They'll send you a free barcode to attach to the package to pay for postage and are generally quite quick.

cloud493

Yeah yous are probably right. I'l find a number and get onto amazon.

Professional Griefer

When I got my PS4 from Amazon it was ****ed, they told me to get on to Sony.

eamondunphy

Has anyone exchanged their ps4 in symths? Will they take it back without too much of a fight??

Gonna have to get an exchange, this black screen coming and going is driving me mad

Is it completely dead cloud? Was thinking I might send mine back to amazon because I'm still having that problem where it spits out the disc.

cloud493

Like last night when I was playing TLOU. It just wont accept any disc, keeps making the eject disc sound, and crashes whenever I try to play anything off the hardrive.

Try putting the ps4 on its side or raise it so the eject button is not touching a flat surface underneath. If it works at least u know its the eject button. If not then its proper fecked!

This also looks like a fix

Here is how I fixed it. Turn of PS4 completely. Unplug the Power cord. Touch the Power button several times until it beeps (static electricity?!)

Power on and voala! Works again'

Mentioned that a few pages back but nobody either understood static or cared. Seems like the most logical explanation to the disc ejection issue as the button is located so close to the surface.

Something is tripping the eject switch and that would be a logical explanation!

I have a question regarding PS accounts, bit confused as to how ownership of games and saves works across multiple consoles.

I currently play on my housemate's console. There are three accounts on it, one has PS+ (mine doesn't, if that matters).

If I were to buy a game and install it, would I be able to play that game on another console if I bought my own console in the future? Or would I have to buy a new copy of the game? Also would all three accounts on the other PS4 still share that game?

Is amazon the best price for the metro redux at £30 or is there anywhere cheaper?

Picked up TLOU today along with a few other games, I must say it looks really good, right up there with MLB The Show, the PS4 has been whisper quiet while I have had it on as well.

jaffusmax

I highly recommend Metro Last Light, ive been playing it on pc and it is amazing looking!

Great list of upcoming free to play games on PS4

Are you on about physical copy's of the games? If so you can play them on any console

Sometimes you'll need to subscribe or make a purchase for them to be unlock-able, and some games don't have any.

Say if I downloaded and played one of te games that need a purchase for me to unlock the trophy would they show up in my trophy list if I didn't pay?

vidor

Probably mentioned here before but has the rubber covering come off the analog stick for anyone else? It's gotten so little use since I bought it so this is a little surprising.

johnny_ultimate

It's a common issue.

You can get replacement controllers if you have you receipt, but easier to just pick up a pack or two of these: http://www.amazon.co.uk/gp/aw/d/B00GH7UA32/ref=mp_s_a_1_1?qid=1407278885&sr=8-1&pi=AC_SX110_SY165

When the game is started the trophy list will be added, but without paying they simply won't be earned as you play.

Most games will keep track so when you do pay the ones you would have earn will all unlock then and there.

Thanks. You would imagine that they came across this issue before release, strange that it made it to the shelves like that.

Wolfenstein on sale on PSN for €39.99. you temptress!

I'm still playing it. Probably one of the last good single player fps we'll see for a while.

Yup still playing it as well - just got the PX4 so enjoying the difference the sound now makes of the game. Looking forwards to completing and maybe trying on a harder setting - normally not something I would be bothered with as once I play a story that's it (exception of the Soul Reaver series) but think this game is definitely worth a 2nd or 3rd or +++ playthrough

Every PS4 game has Trophies but if i am not mistaking a few free to play titles don't ?.

But from January 2009 Sony made it mandatory that all new games must have Trophies I think this carries over to the PS Vita and PS4. As i don't think i ever played a PS vita game with no Trophies.

Tempting alright, in a weird way would prefer a physical copy to flesh out the Ps4 shelf

Xenji

Has anyone traded in their camera into Gamestop and if so how much did you get, I have not used mine since launch day.

CombatCow

Cex will give €24 cash, so prolly 18-20 from gamestop, would be better to sell it private as its £41 new.
