    This reminds me a great response to this statement I read on neogaf today. Surprised people are saying there aren't any games
    These posts make me laugh. I haven't stopped playing my Ps4 since launch which had never happened before in my long history of owning consoles.

    At launch it was Knack, Res0gun, Assassins Creed, Need for Speed. Into December I got Killzone, Lego Marvel, then discovered Warframe. In January it was Rayman Legends, Don't Starve, Tomb Raider. In February I discovered War Thunder UK and my Warframe addiction got stronger. Couldn't stop playing it.

    Then came last month with MGSV, Infamous, Dead Nation, Towerfall, Fez etc. With playtime going toward Final Fantasy beta and my War Thunder crack addiction.

    This month will be final fantasy 14, trials fusion which sold me on the demo and child of light.

    Next month is also huge with Transistors, Bound By Flame, MLB The Show and Watch Dogs all hitting.

    In 2 months! Just curious, what did you buy it so soon for?

    For me Infamous coming out in March was one reason.. and one I assumed many bought it for. That came out last month :P

    Great response? no way dude.

    There's a mix of games sure, but plenty that won't suit everyone which narrows down that list quite a bit. Just reading it myself I was going, shite, ok, i'd play, shite, shite, yeah ok, eh short games but yeah ok....you get the jist, it's no good telling someone that there are games when they're games that person doesn't want to play, I mean the wiiU has games too after all :pac:

    These are the pains of the early console adopter.

    When I saw BF4 I was hoping for a premium sale.. oh well.

    Very tough to call that a sale.. should be at least another tenner off.

    Still 50 quid... Feck off...

    I gave BF4 a go at my buddies place on ps4 and I was surprised how "not bad" it was. I might pick it up to play on lazy days. No way I am paying these prices though...

    I play mine all the time. I'm either easily pleased or just like loads of types of games.

    Either way, I'm very happy with my Ps4. And I'd sure as hell moan if I wasn't. I love a good moan.

    BF4 is half price for PC at the moment via Origins :O

    In fairness barely touched mine also, I put some good time into Ass Creed and Fifa, but with the release of Diablo 3 expansion, coupled with WoW, along with BF4, and then getting through some PS3 backlog, no real time.

    That's not to say I'm not liking it, just waiting for a monster game to come out that grabs my attention via multiplayer. Hasnt happened on a console since Halo 3 or the original COD series.

    Well, my buddy played ps3 all the time, it broke down and he got PS4. He is one of those people who play one/two games and never touches anything else. So yeah, he plays BF4 only. He is just mind blown how much better BF4 is better on PS4, playing the living **** out of it.

    I barely play my one right now, but I most of it because I am PC gamer. Games that I can play on PS4, I can play on PC. PC versions are just so much better right now too.
    I still think that PS4 is fantastic kit and is a very good deal if you dont have PC and dont want to invest in to PC ( shame on you ).

    The other reason that makes me not play on PS4 that much - retarded game prices. Old gen games still can be gotten for nice price if you dont mind waiting for deliveries. On top of that PC games are just so god damn cheaper and more convenient.

    The game prices are to be expected. They'll go down once the install base hits a critical mass and they can profit from lower prices. Either that or wait 6 months when they'll be getting flogged for cheap on online stores.

    Looks like GAME.co.uk has found out what we are doing and won't let us use Parcel Motel anymore.

    I had the address saved for an instant click but now I get a error "The order was rejected as part of the fraud checks."

    Does anyone know if there is a work around?

    Murdered: Soul Suspect is on discount there at the moment.

    There's no competition here any more, while the install base has never been higher for the 360 & PS3 the prices are €15-20 more expensive after HMV closed down. You don't even see Tesco doing as many now deals any more.

    US prices are comparable between gen at least for first party games from each side but their next gen game will likely drop down to $60 for everything, while we're stuck with paying €65-70 for any Irish retailer.

    Why would you buy something that you need to return straight away/ Without the receipt you're out of luck unless you paid by credit card and even then there's nothing to say that you will get your money back. GameStop are legally entitled simply to offer you a credit note as there's nothing wrong with the console and you simply changed your mind.

    Best bet is to go in and explain it to them. May get a sympathetic employee or manager but I wouldn't hold my breath. Best advice for future is to always pay by card if you can for something like a PS4. That way if you lose the receipt you can still prove that it was bought when and where.

    If you don't mind downloading you could always buy it off the US psn store. Should be around €45 ish when converted.

    I done that with MGS: Ground Zero.

    Yes.
    That's how you download on the US psn.

    Same if you want to download a Japanese game, you need a Japanese account.

    So if I already have my account set up to be Irish can it be changed? Or would I need to set up a new one and start over?

    Is it just as simple as changing address?

    I just made a new account. Just make sure to use a US address.
    You can then just switch accounts back after downloading it and play on your irish one.
