Looks like a chunk of the rubber on the left thumbstick is about to come off. Any recommendations for covers?

This thread has quite a few recommendations, incuding getting the controller replaced.

You can buy Gioteck Thumb Grips in Smyths for €5.

Same with mine

I've ordered some these grips from Amazon. You can get cheaper ones on Ebay but they were taking a month to deliver (Amazon should be here by the end of the week), and apparently the grips don't fit correctly if the rubber actually comes off.

I'll also be trying to ring Sony during lunch to see if they will repair it for free, but doubt they will as it's out of warranty.

+1. These ones are great, you get two different sets with these and the convex ones are the best IMO. Have a set for each controller and they're still perfect over a year later.

I got them and don't like either set. They just sit too high and make the motion of travel longer like the PS3 sticks which I hate. My launch day controller still looks brand new even with daily use and does not need covers, just got them to help my thumbs from slipping off.

If anyone want's them I can post them off.

Ah, sure I'll take them if you aren't using them thanks

Says they deliver to Ireland, and qualifies for the FFS. They look like a great fit too, and a 6 pack :eek::D.

Got my first PS4 in the door today and I have to say the WIFI adapter is very weak compared to the PS3.


I have the PS4 mounted directly above the PS3 so they're in the same position and I'm getting about 10 times slower downloads.

Time to buy a TP-link powerline adapter me thinks.

Some people have reported issues like yours and have been able to resolve it by changing the DNS settings to Googles DNS Settings.

Primary DNS: 8.8.8.8
Secondary DNS: 8.8.4.4

It's worth a try.

Thanks for that man! I'll give it a shot!

For some reason none of those on amazon were working with free shipping for me, not sure if they were splitting boxes or what that made is cost, didn't buy them in the end as I've some already and I'll get more later. Other parts of the order were free but it just split them off and asked for £6 shipping.

Might have been down to trying out the new eircode, haven't ever had issues but just wanted to.

Hi all,

Probably a stupid question, but...

...if I buy a PS4 game in Canada, will it work on an Irish PS4?

Thanks.

Yes, the caveat being any DLC for it might not. Or was this only a PS3 thing?

Im not 100% but you might be able to buy the dlc from the American store and it will work. Another issue I think I've see mentioned here is you have to play online on a U.S. account? I've never did this kind of thing so don't take my work for it.

Future Primitive

Thanks guys.

I generally don't play online so shouldn't be a factor for me.

DLC would also require a U.S. account to access the american store, right?

I've read on reddit that some users got banned for game sharing.

I have an Irish and U.S. PSN account.

Would it be dodgy to use both accounts on my trustworthy friends PS4, and set his as primary?

RoyalCelt

Anyone played God of war 3 ps4 yet? What do you think?

Also anyone play payday 2 on here? It's a hidden gem. It's like rocket league and would only get its due exposure if it went on ps plus.

Read the charter:

5. No discussion on game sharing/swapping as of December 2009. Sony have updated their T&C's for PSN to disallow this act unless you are re-installing games on your own second or replacement PS3. They will ban you for game sharing, and as such boards.ie cannot facilitate discussion on game sharing anymore.

Sorry about that F1ngers, new to this sub-forum so didn't know, charter read!

Can anyone recommend good Home plugs to use with UPC horizon? I always had a router with UPC in the past and connected my PS4 wirelessly, and it worked fine. However, I recently changed to UPC Horizon and now the PS4 keeps kicking me out of co op online gaming whenever it feels like it
Thanks!

Journey for the PS4 is on the store now at 11.99. Is it worth it at this price for somebody who never played it on the Ps3 or am I better off waiting for it to go down in price.

McDermotX

Journey was up on the PSN last night, but was showing as a purchase rather than a free download if you own the PS3 version.
Not sure if its been resolved today as I haven't had the system on, but its certainly showing as a free download through the PSN App.
About 2.5 GB
