    Its the fast charge phone chargers that cause a problem. If it is a standard phone charger it is fine.

    So my Ps4 charger died yesterday and the Ps3 cable isn't compatible. Never go searching for something when you're drinking, it looks like I've been burgled. Found a video of a stoner who discovered you can charge your dual shock with your phone charger. How on earth did the world solve problems before the internet?

    Been doing that for ages, is that not a common thing?

    I've been recharging it in one of the PS4 USB ports. Never knew you could use a phone charger. Positive experience so far, on the assumption it hasn't exploded while I'm at work.

    If it's a fast charge, like a one plus 3 or Galaxy 7, you are most likely fooked, the battery will only keep charge for about 10 mins....

    Problem is, half the new phones don't tell you if they are charging at 0.5v or the one that wrecks the DS4 1.0v...

    If it's an older 2 or 3 year old standard micro port you will be fine....

    No issues with console or anything? How does it feel as a portable? Is there much difference when it's docked? Will probably pick one up eventually.

    Picked up Horizon: Zero Dawn yesterday. It really is a good looking game, even on the OG4. Plays beautifully. Considering it's in the same vein as Witcher 3, Fallout 4, Far Cry Primal, I'm enjoying HZD a hell of a lot more. (I fell asleep playing Fallout, and compared to Far Cry, the bow handles better, which makes it more enjoyable)

    Yeah just got my copy of HZD. I loved Far Cry 3 but couldn't get into Far Cry 4 for some reason (rabid annoying animals most likely)

    It feels fine. I dunno what all this feedback about it melting or tasting like petrol or falling apart are about. Feels grand for what essentially amounts to a tablet with a plastic docking station. I think it's great.

    Bit heavy as a portable, but nice in your hands. Having no issues with mine, but someone I know had to get a replacement as it would only work for about 2 mins before crashing.

    The game cartridges/cards have been deliberately design to taste foul, so if a young child decides to chow down on one, s/he will automatically spit it out.

    Go to 3:00.

    The usual hyperbole surrounds any console release.

    Funny about the game cartridges though :D

    It's honestly probably the best game I've ever played, and I've only had one weekend with it...

    Dare I say what I have played so far easily beats Ocarina, and I adore OOT, it's one of my favourite games....

    I had the arsenal game on - I reckon the lads will have put up a better and more coordinated plan in GTA.

    I wouldn't bother going any bigger than a 2TB.

    I Installed pretty much every PS4 PS Plus game from the last 30 months on mine, along with 3 fully digital games (TF2, OW, GTA) and about another ~10 Disc based games with LARGE patches (UC4, Doom, DH2 etc) and I'm not even using a Full 1TB
