Not the discs. Only whatever is available as digital download through the PS Store on the device.

Is there anyway to find how much a game has been installed to the system? Like a progress bar for instance?

Find the game icon on the main menu, press the option button and then press information. This will show you install progress.

Anyone play Payday 2, is it worth paying the extra few quid for The Big Score edition? (Comes with all the DLC)

Was about to ask if ye think I should put Horizon Zero Dawn on my Santa list now or wait for the GotY type edition. But I see now that the Complete Edition is out December 6th. So for anyone who was waiting for that, there it is.

Anyone want to hazard a guess as to what might be on the list this year, actually?

See if I should hold off picking up a few bits!!

Usually games that were released that year so I'd chance:

Persona 5
Nier Automata
Ni-Oh
Horizon
Wolfenstein 2 (as there were tasty black friday deals already for this)
Resident Evil 7
South Park
Gran Turismo
Prey

even though I don't need any new games horizon and south park would be extremely tempting

Wasn't Horizon on Black Friday deals for €25 or €30?

€30. It was €24 in Argos. It does look like there'll be a sale for the whole of December starting on Friday as they had a small sale on this week ending tomorrow.

Well last years deals were:

Tomb Raider - Rise of the Tomb Raider
Fallout 4
Dishonored 2
Skyrim
Battlefield 1
Uncharted 4
Titanfall 2
Call of Duty…
FIFA 17
GTA V
Watch Dogs 2
Final Fantasy XV

From that (and previous years) I'd guess the following are certs:

Shadow of Mordor
Wolfeinstein 2
Battlefront 2
Uncharted Lost Legacy
CoD WW 2
FIFA 18
Destiny 2
Assassins Creed Origins

and Crash Bandicoot is deal one.

With the rest from (in slight order of probability)

Horizon Zero Dawn
Persona 5
Gran Turismo
Need For Speed
Prey
Skyrim VR / Skyrim
Nioh
Nier Automata
GTA V
Final Fantasy XV

Again just a guess, but based on previous years deals.

Maybe...? but if you can afford it :pac:

Assassins Creed is good, COD is ok I haven't played the others.

CastorTroy

And that's the problem. Like I said, I have to sort out my Santa list, so don't wanna be giving a list of games I want, only to then see them cheap on the store

In Harvey Norman & PC World at the moment in Carrickmines. Any recommended PS4 monitors?

Or would I be better of with a 32” tv for the same price (less than €200)?

Just spoke to a guy in HN about a good monitor. He recommended either the AOC G2778VG 27” 1MS for €269 or alternatively the HP OMEN 32” €549.

I'm using 2 Samsung 32" ers. Unless your pro-mvp-pvp-vip the tv will be more than sufficient.

Fantastic sports game, at a really solid price.

I’ll be picking that up for sure, always wait till around Christmas to get the latest in that series as there’s usually an offer.

Zero-Cool

Great price for that but I'm boycotting 2k NBA this year, will see if they pull their VC bull**** in 2k19 before going back.

Also, UFC 3 beta is open and on the store if anyone is interested.

Loot box crap?

Microtransaction crap in EVERY aspect of the game. Career mode is always online with the goal to get to a 99 rating, you start on 50 something and you can buy points to get get up to 85, roughly 200 euro worth last I checked. Then you have clothes, haircuts, moves, etc that you can buy with money. You can earn this money in-game but at a slow rate. They didn't even try to hide that it is designed to appeal to the people who are willing to buy all the microtransactions. On launch day, a guy put up a pic of other online players running around at level 85 15 minutes of launching. If it was a free to play game then it would be fine but not after paying 70 euro. I buy those games every year and love/hate them but had to take a stand this year, that **** shouldn't be anywhere near career mode.

Hi everyone.

Im looking to buy a PlayStation 4 console bundle for my kids for Xmas and I spotted a deal in Gamestop that I need some advice on. The deal is a 1TB PS4, extra dualshock controller, GT Sport & Uncharted: Lost Legacy for €349.99.

Is this a good deal?? It seems unreal to me but I need confirmation whether it is a good deal or not. Thanks

That's a very good deal, you'd could easily make a €100 off the two games and controller if you've no interest in them.
