    Trade FIFA in for €50 and you have a brand new slim for €50. Only you can say if its worth it to you.

    Could anyone recommend a good set of home plugs for using pretty much exclusively on the PS4 (trading up for a Pro at some point too if that changes anything)? Just after getting 240mbps broadband in and might as well take full advantage of the speed increase.

    I don't mind paying for a good set but not one that's dear for the sake of it, and if the cheaper options are only marginally poorer at half the cost, I'll probably go for those tbh. Thanks. :)

    Devolo Home Plugs. I use them and they are brilliant. If you've got a PC there's an app you can download to manage the plugs security, change codes, update the firmware, reset the plugs if they do drop. Very handy to use. I would recommend getting the ones with 2 ethernet ports on them. I have a PC and PS4 next to each other and both are wired through the one plug.

    Are these the ones?

    There's a few other models but those are the cheapest I think and have reviewed very well. Was checking out a few sets of TP Link ones but I just don't know what specs to look for, the reviews on that brand are also outstanding tbf. I'm only really getting them for the PS4, tablet is far handier for most things I do and I only use the laptop for work which wouldn't be helped by faster speeds.

    Yeah, that's them. I'd still go for the 2 port ones anyway, you never know what your future needs would be. I've used them for years now and can't fault them.

    I still have my copy of Max Payne 2 on PS2, couldn't part with it when selling my PS2, will definitely be getting that.

    If Midnight Club 3 comes out on PS4, there's not a thing on this planet that will drag me out of my armchair for a solid six months after release.

    Does anyone know if I buy The Last of Us from the US store (it's on sale for 8 euro), will it work with my Irish Save file? I'd love to get it again and finish the multiplayer, get my platinum but I'd want to know that info first.

    I'd have to unmap it every time I want to play something else then which would be a trek

    Why would you? Can you not just change the control scheme in the In Game settings?

    Not with the PS2 games. Unless it had it back when it first came out which I can't remember, but from the ones I have you can't.

    I thought you could switch your control scheme in most games.

    Most newer games, yeah. The PS2 games I have which are Rockstar games too, you can't.

    My brother picked up the Pro and Destiny bundle today, he’s no interest in Destiny. He’s already traded the game in but if anyone here hasn’t got the Expansion Pass yet and would like it he’ll sell it for €25. PM If your interested.

    Many people here playing Fortnite? Have been playing on and off for last 2 days. Can be pretty fun but also very frustrating when you land and a minute later you are dead.

    Tried it the other night, couldn't figure out what was going on. Everyone runs around for 30 seconds then into an aircraft, dropped and killed as soon as you land.
    Looks alright if I can figure out how to get armed up and stay alive

    Most people seem to jump from the Battle Bus immediately or definitely before the map mid point, stay a little longer and try to drop in somewhere less busy, check inside houses for wepaons and gear. Shotguns are very powerful, as are snipers but a scoped AR would be my preference especially when you get down to only a few left and things get sweaty.

    Weapons are graded by colour, from best to worst: Gold, Purple, Blue, Green & Grey
