This, PS4 and Xbox One can't recognise NTFS formatted drives. Reformat to ExFAT then try again.

Jerichoholic · 07-07-2018 2:41pm

exFAT format is the answer.

Blanchy90 · 07-07-2018 5:28pm

I did the full reformat to exfat (it took 14 hours) and still no luck on either console. The laptop can see it no problem

Stupid question, but is it connected directly to the ps4 or via a docking station that has additional usb ports? I had a docking station which I could charge both controllers and additional usb ports but had to get rid and connect hdd directly to ps4 usb port to work.

I connected it directly to the ps4 and to the xbox and it didn't work on either. Very strange

hmm my order doesn't have those details, but this is the model I bought:

Works with PS4

EDIT: I just checked your prev posts, did you buy a "My Passport" or a "My Book" ?

If passport, you might need to power it using a power supply, rather than just USB?

Blanchy90 · 07-07-2018 8:54pm

I got a my passport and it only has one strange USB connection

mrcheez · 07-07-2018 9:04pm

It should still be ok according to:

and

Are you using a Mac or PC to format it? Try a different USB port on the PS4 (one at the front instead of back)

Blanchy90 · 07-07-2018 9:07pm

I used a pc to format it.
I tried both USB ports on the front of the ps4 and nothing. The drive is getting power but it's not being recognised

A bit of an unusual one for ye, but I was in dealz in Santry and they had some PS4 games for €5. The only two that I can remember that were worthwhile were Deus Ex and Titanfall 2. They had some other games too but nothing worth a fiver.

They had xbone one games and loads of ps3 and 360 games too, I don’t know if other dealz shops are doing games now or if it’s only their santry shop.

It's in most Dealz just bought Tom's Clancy's The Division for €5 they had FIFA 17 Destiny 1 and a load of PS3 COD Ghosts. always worth checking your local Dealz

I think I'll get that need for speed bundle, it's too good to pass

The deal expires tonight at 23:59. I got it anyways, 3 games with some DLC’s included for €25 is worth the risk I’d say. I liked Most Wanted and have been itching to play a racing game lately so it ticked the boxes with me.

Oh thanks for that I just bought it there on my phone.

Now I just need to get my hard drive working so I can download them haha

Still deciding on this. anyone put any time in Payback over the weekend and recommend it?

Don't go near it, get the Crew 2 instead. It's fantastic.

Zero-Cool · 09-07-2018 4:23pm

Ah was only looking for something cheap. I'll catch the crew 2 when it hits sale at some point.

Jerichoholic · 09-07-2018 4:40pm

Payback is not worth it. I bought it full price download. Deleted it within a day or two.

Tbf, you're not just getting Payback but the other two PS4 games for €25. It is a tempting price.

NFS bundles looks like backlog fodder to me. Havent heard much good about those games in years.

Personally Project Cars is the best racing game on PS4

I never got into project cars I got it at launch and it wasn't great

Zero-Cool · 10-07-2018 8:53am

Decided to hold off on Payback, I'm sure it will stay popping up in shops for 20 soon, wood prefer physical to trade it once done. Hopefully there's a nice psn sale today.

There might be new Week 2 offers on the US/Canadian Mid Year PSN Sale. The Summer Sale should be starting on the Irish store on the 25th July

Zero-Cool · 10-07-2018 2:58pm

Nier Automata is still 21 in Argos but I just noticed CEX offer 21 cash for it so gonna get it today and see what the fuss is about. Seeing 'masterpiece' and 'deeply flawed' thrown around a lot so don't know what to think.

EoinMcLovin · 11-07-2018 9:29am

Looks like there are some indie digital games on sale on the Irish PSN store

Is the demo gone from PSN? I played a demo of it when it first came out and while it was fun, I find it hard to imagine someone calling it a masterpiece.

It has its quirks but I wouldn't call it deeply flawed. The original Nier maybe could be called deeply flawed.
