Was just wondering today, did they ever release the rest of the Star Wars games that came with Battlefront? Or is it just Super Star Wars so far?

I got four of them in a pack, Super Star Wars, Revenge Racer, Bounty Hunter & Jedi Starfighter. You can buy them all separately too i think.

Strange, I just searched this morning and only the PS3 versions of the games were there. Now I see the PS4 versions. I really must redeem that voucher.

I downloaded black ops 3 earlier and the graphics are all messed up.

Is there any way of getting my money back or redownloading the game?

Delete it from your console then go to the PS store and download it again.

Enter username
Enter password

when they're right it will ask you to enter an X-digit code, which you've gotten from a email, text, or app

Probably will be email and the playstation app.

Anybody ever hear of a controller not connecting 'cause the console wasn't updated?

My cousin who lives in Wales said his mate bough a controller in Cex but when he plugs it into his console it lights up as its charging but it won't turn on, he got onto Cex and they said its cause the console isn't updated but he can't update it without a working controller :pac:

That's a load of bull.

That's what I thought too, said Cex won't give him his money back because once the console is updated it'll work.

They should ask to see it working. They have consoles instore for checking games.

Yeah, said Cex said it works on there consoles so he's gonna bring his PS in and show them it's not working on his.

Just thought I'd ask here in case it was actually a thing, couldn't find anything on Google.

If it's not working on his PS4 but work on others, it's not the shop's problem. The controller they sold works, it's his PS4 that doesn't then.

I've had a few USB cables from Phones chargers that don't have data just power, has he tried changing the cable and using the reset on the controller before connecting it wired to the PS4.

I agree, but for CEX to say that his console needs an update is complete tripe.

JamboMac

is it definitely a ps4 controller and not a ps3 one?

iamtony

I'd say it's just a matter of resetting the controller using a pin in the button at the back for 2 seconds or whatever it is.

Savage Tyrant

I'd check the wire he's using. Might be a dodgy or faulty one.

I'm not sure I'll ask him. He has tried resetting the controller but that didn't help.

Cex said it worked? But did he see it working?

Can he get access to another controller to do the update to get that point out of the way?
Though how would the controller know the PS4 needs an update? Unless it was also previously updated somehow and now is out of sync in firmware versions.

Install the playstation remote app on a phone or tablet and then you can use the touch screen to navigate the menus and do the update.

I'm not sure, he just said that When he brought it back in the day after he bought it they checked it on another console and it worked.

I told him that as well, said it wouldn't work. I'd say it's the console at this stage

Sorry yeah I guess if he's never configured the ps4 he wouldn't be able to remote connect.

He told me he's using some small usb, so I doubt it's a DS4 one. Like someone said up there it could be a phone usb which isn't powerful enough.

Some of those cheap USB cables that come with something for charging are just power, you'd need the data as well to sync.

So reloaded black ops and the graphics are still a mess?

What's the solution now? Redownload?

Is this common? It's the first game I've downloaded.

Is there a process to get refunded?

Did you delete it and download it again? If you just went to the PS store without deleting it it just launches the installed version.

No.
