For that price, kinda interested in the Sherlock Holmes game. Anyone here tried it and liked it?

I reviewed it and really liked it.

It plays like how I imagined L.A. Noire would play before it was released. Well worth it at that price IMO.

PS4 and Vita firmware is live now.

So lads, I've finally started to get into the ps4 now after nearly a year of having it. RER2 is class. Have Bloodborne(very new to this type of game but looks amazing) on its way, picked up Knack and Killzone yesterday for cheap and Tomb Raider also, it's on sale now via psn so I overpaid by €10 oh well.

But Dying Light, I like the look of it. Is there anywhere I can pick it up on the super cheap? Online or B&m?

Thanks!

Backup to an external HDD? Yes please.

A decent update.

I'm not liking the Store being where the games and apps are, I was used to What's New being there

The update gets a thumbs up all round from me.

Been home an hour and forgot about the update.....

(Runs to PS4)

If a firmware update gets me excited - I've obviously got bigger issues....

That site was used for Bloodborne I think but the beta code for planetside was just just in an email for the US beta and for me this time again.

Not sure why this is happening.

Just tried the Suspend/Resume on Helldivers there and it was really quick. 2-3 seconds.

It does obviously log you out if you were online though.

Lads I'm strongly considering putting a 2TB hard drive into the Ps4, just wondering if SSD would make any difference or if I should just go with HDD?

Depending on the game the ssd will make a difference with game install and level loading times etc.

I have a 500gb ssd because I wanted speed over space. Really depends on what your looking for and your budget as an ssd will set you back quite a bit more then a standard hard drive...

Also, with the latest firmware you can backup games and save files etc to an external usb drive, that may be of use to you....

Captain Chaos

SSD will make a small difference but not worth it for the price of them. Even a standard 7200rpm HDD will be an improvement over the 5400rpm HDD in the PS4. I have a Hybrid HD in my PS4 and it's only slightly faster, a few seconds here and there over a standard HDD equipped PS4. The console itself does boot up slightly quicker.

The PS4 does not take full advantage of the abilities of a hybrid or a SSD drive. Going back now I'd have went for a good 7200rpm 2 tb drive than the 1tb SHDD I went with.

Fakman87

Thanks lads, is there a specific 2TB one you would recommend?

Fakman87

Thanks man, I've been thinking of putting one in the ps3 as I ran out of space in it a long time ago. Is it easy to transfer the stuff that's already on it over?

The Samsung M9T is pretty good. The Seagate 2TB backup plus external hard drive has one housed in it. Can just take it out and its ready to go into your PS4.

Some good how to videos in YouTube.

Hey guys im also interested in changing harddrive as i only have a few gb to spare.

I have a western digital my book essential external drive, i think its 3.5 gb, will that work?

If not could i use that to transfer everything off my ps4 and then get a neww hdd for the ps4 and transfer everything back on to it?

I cant be redowoading anything as iv a piss poor connection.

Thanks

Needs to be a 2.5" drive, yours sounds like its a 3.5".

But yeah with the latest firmware you can copy everything over.

Thanks, ill have to look into doing this soon

Yes it will work however can't be housed inside the PS4. So if you wanted to go this route you will need a sata cable to extend from inside the cover and sit the HDD on top of the PS4.

Plenty of people do it and it works great if you dont need to lug your ps4 around. You can buy a housing bay aswell for the HDD so its enclosed. My personal preference is the 2TB 9.5mm Samsung sitting inside the ps4 but purely for aestethics.

Ill be definitely going the route of getting it inside the system out of the way

Then unless a bigger 9.5mm HDD has come out the Seagate backup plus 2tb which has the Samsung m9t inside is the one you should be looking at.

If you are installing it in your PS4, you do not need the enclosure.

This is what you need.

Couldn't care about suspend features, I just want to be able to turn off the PS4 from the 1st quick menu (hold down the PS button) and the same menu from within a game. Enough room to have Turn Off on the 1st list without going into a Power Options folder. Small thing but annoying me.
