Just saves, meant both are still there when you renew, but you have to renew within 6 months or the saves will disappear.

Hi All, is the gamescollection.net reliable for purchasing games? The exchange rate is favourable now so if delivery times are good and the are dependable may use it to get the division.

You mean the game collection? They're very good.

edit - cex does not sell new games, it'll be dependant on when people start trading it in, basically.

Technically CEX can't sell new games whatsoever. I brought in a sealed copy of Fallout 4, because I went digital due to a f*ck up with preorder, and they asked me to remove the seal and outer wrapping, because they're just not allowed to sell games like that -- so if you mean new as in sealed, you won't find it there.

You'll find new releases, sure, but as MilesMorales1 said, it largely depends on the kind of game and when people trade it in, but ones that were recently brought out are usually snapped up pretty sharpish.

TBH in my experience, there isn't much difference between a full retail price and what they'd charge for the same for recent releases .. maybe about €10 - €15 in the difference. If you can afford it and want the guaranteed copy, I'd stick with the likes of GameStop/Game/Amazon.

MilesMorales1

That is true, but cex trade in value is usually much higher than gamestop and the like. I mean ideally you'd wanna trade stuff in, then wait, since big multi-platform stuff tends to plummet in price quickly after launch,.

DeSelby83

Ye im kinda broke so will definitely trade them in with cex I think even if it means waiting a bit after release

Yeah, decent port of it and a very easy platinum too if you're going to put the time in. Don't need to get 100% for the plat which is great.

Update 3.50 details released. Anyone get picked for the Beta that starts tomorrow?

Appear offline was one of my most wanted features, happy with that. Just hope change PSN username gets added next.

• Friend Online Notification – Want to know the moment your friends come online? With this update, you can, as we’ve added an option to be notified when members of your friends list sign in on the network. Notifications can be tailored to certain friends.
• Appear Offline – Sometimes you want to play a game or watch a movie without being interrupted. Now it’s easier to go incognito as we’ve added the option to appear offline. You can designate if you would like to appear offline when you log-in or at any time from your Profile or the Quick Menu.
• User Scheduled Event – Now it’s easier to organise a game session. We’ve added the ability to schedule a future gameplay session with your friends on the system. When your event starts, users who registered for the event will automatically be added to a party so you can start playing right away.
• Remote Play (PC/Mac) – We’re bringing PS4 Remote Play to Windows PC and Mac. This feature won’t be available to test in the beta, but you can look forward to it soon.
• Dailymotion, new service partner in Share feature – Dailymotion, an additional live streaming service, will become available for PS4 users to enhance their broadcast experience. Like other live streaming services available on PS4, users will enjoy the following features: Activity Feed, What’s New Broadcast Info Tile, Live Detail and Live from PlayStation.

For some reason, I figured that just meant like a media player, being able to stream everything to a laptop and play games on it would be class.

Hopefully it will come with official DS4 drivers.

Broforce, Heavy Rain and Uncharted 4 Open Multiplayer Beta are live on the store now. Well Heavy Rain will be out tomorrow and Beta kicks off Friday but you can download it now.

I thought JASSSOOOOOOOONNN was a class game albeit crazy plot holes but really enjoyed it. Not sure If I'd get it again though just for enhanced graphics.

You needed it for the multiplayer beta back in December, so I would assume it is the same again.

Actually it is open to everyone this time.

Please help us create the best multiplayer experience possible and participate in the stress test before launch. Also, and this is important because we want as many people playing as possible, a PlayStation Plus subscription is not required to participate.

I like Trivial Pursuit, it's actually quite similar to Buzz.

Downloaded the Uncharted multiplayer. I'm aware it doesn't start for another few days but fired it on out of curiosity anyway.
Oh the noise of it :eek: I thought my console was going to take off, and that's without any gameplay.

I was playing a bit street fighter v the other night and at one point I honestly thought the ps4 was going to blow up!

Sounded like it was taking off. It has to be only a matter of time before it dies I'd say and I don't even play it that often. 1st generation ps4.

Yeah, mine is a launch day model. I used to get a lot of noise out of it when playing Rocket League but after some patches it has been fine, hopefully this can be sorted out likewise.

My console was crazy, sounded like a hair dryer at times it was so loud!

My bedroom is fairly small so even if I had the headphones in I could still hear it, eventually had to sell it as o couldn't enjoy some games. Hoping to get one of the newer quieter models in the coming months.
