Does anyone know how to go about upgrading the HD on a PS4? Is it expensive/complicated? Have reached my memory limit.

It is relatively easy to do. Follow the video below and you'll be fine.

As for expense, that will depend on the size you upgrade to. This is probably the best one to get.

This is a better option as it is cheaper and you can use the casing with the PS4 hard drive so you get a 500gb portable hard drive!

Very easy to do. Memory and hard drive space aren't the same thing though... for future reference.

There's a good, recent thread on here with plenty of advice on this:

Yeah I'm in as well... I liked how the Store said it was 8GB, but the full install is like 26GB :pac:

If anyone is looking to join up, I'll be on sometime tomorrow.

Yeah, I probably wouldn't have activated if it said 26GB at the start... My internet is only 5MB so going to take me a day at least to download that... 8GB however would have been handier, don't even know if I will have time to try it out...

Does anyone use the Media Player? Using it to stream a movie from the PC, and after 5 minutes all it does is buffer. Very poor

I use it almost on a daily basis, I usually plug in a hard drive and play files directly from there. I find it brilliant, especially since they added .mkv support last year.

Not particularly but some puzzles use 'rules' you might learn in another area.

Don't be afraid to explore and if you get stuck, try another area for a bit and come back later.

Right so an update on my situation since my account was hacked.

2 and half weeks since it now, im still banned and its still being "investigated"

Rang Sony on wednesday, told them I'm behind on rent so they marked my case as a "matter of urgency".

The thing is, I noticed that most people on reddit had to have a legal advisor contact Sony's legal department before they listened to them.

Im not sure if its worth doing that for 100 euro and I'm running out of patience, so heres my question:

At the moment my Irish account is banned but I can still play the digital games installed on my hard drive offline, or online with my US and CA account.

If i do a chargeback and end up permanently banned will I still be able to play those digital games as I can now even though I'm banned?

All this bull**** is making me not want to bother buying PSVR and investing my money in PC gaming instead.

Guys now that I have a PS4 I've turn my eye to NiOh.

I see it's made by Team Ninja who made one of my favorite games on last Gen, Ninja Gaiden. Has anyone here played the demo and Ninja Gaiden? How did they compare?

The demo showed a lot of potential, but the game is more like a muddle of other games such as Onimusha, Bushido Blade and Dark Souls, but the deep combat of the Gaiden games is still there and has been improved on.

Could be tempted then. Those Gaiden games were so though on the hardest difficulty but you really felt like you earned something when you completed it.

I spent about 4 hours chipping away at Ninja Gaiden Sigma upon release. Got absolutely nowhere. Traded it in the same day and couldn't even get an erection for my bird later that night. Seriously. Utterly deflated. Fcuk that game.

Folks does anyone know anywhere in Dublin that sells parts for PS4. Recently cot the blue(click noise) of death and Id rather buy it physically than ordering online. I tried the washer trick but sadly it didn't help.

Got that stupid missed charges error again, nothing has changed and I bought something yesterday but still giving me it. Can't do anything other than try calling them and all they say again is wait 48/24 hours.

Can you link to the problem or describe it better as I can't really find anything online ?

Thanks.

Basically I have a problem with my internal power control unit. It causes my console to randomly turn off when on. Then it when I would try to reboot it would begin to power up then power off. This problem is sometimes caused by the heat sink which I attempted to fix but it didn't work. So now Im on the look for a power control unit.

Exactly like this.

Sounds like the ballast in the internal psu is bunched, console repairs in bray will sort it for you sharpish rather than you pricking around for ages trying to fix it when you've no idea what the initial issue is

Well the clicking sound sounds like the cooling fan blades or possibly psu fan hitting some obstruction . Clean it out for a start and give it a go first . Bring it to a local garage and blow it out with an airline to save you opening it up . Blow from the sides so the airflow exits the back .

Took of the covers there and gave it a blast with a hair dryer. Seems to have solved the problem fingers crossed.



Spoke to soon just randomly switched off again.

No, the clicking could also be the internal trip in the ballast activating which i mentioned before

Anyone know where I can get the standard version of The Playroom that isn't the VR one?...

Or are they both the same title?...
