I try not to buy digital, but Spiderman for 40/50 (with dlc) on the sale is really tempting.

I really should finish God of War first.

Would you buy yourself another pro or Xbox x for4k gaming?

I recently upgraded my one S for a one X and I have to say it’s sensational machine but the biggest difference to me is the noise. The One X is almost completely silent unless changing disc. My Pro is like a jet engine at times it’s to the point where it’s actually distracting.

I also prefer how it handles sleep mode, I can turn off the Xbox with no lights visible and turn it back on and jump straight into a game where I left off. I appreciate I can do this on the PS4 but it’s not as seamless IMO.

Saying that I do find the Xbox OS extremely slow and frustrating to use. Simple tasks like finding and buying a game are far more effort than they should be.

I only got to compare FIFA on both as it came with the Xbox and I’d already bought on PS, it did look a little sharper to me.

You’ll find that DF almost always recommend the One X version compared to Pro as well.

Edit: you’ll still have access to the ps4 right? If I had to choose between Xbox or PS I’d still go PS at present, better exclusives and overall a better experience but if you can afford the two then I’d go with one x over pro.

If it's just 4k gaming (graphics) you're looking for, the xbox one x is the most powerful console with the best graphics. No question. But there are other things to consider too.

Which console has the exclusives you'd prefer to play?
How much will it cost for extras (another controller, xbl subscription, game pass, play & charge kits etc)?
Do you play online with mates and what are they on?
Would it be worth staying within the ps4 system to share games with your kids ps4?
What type of TV do you have and how close do you sit to it (to be able to really notice the difference between 4k and upscaled 4k)?

It's not an easy question to answer, as there are a lot of variables, particularly if money is no object. Neither is a wrong choice though. I'd say if you're looking for the best graphics and can afford it, maybe go for the One X. At least you still have the pro in the house, it'll offer new and different games, and it'll be the best graphics.

phobia2011

To be honest, I’ve never looked past ps4, I’m buying a 65”4K tv too, just wondering is it mental to have 2 ps4 pro in the house.

Not if that's what your preference would be and one is for your kids and one is for you. Like I said it'd help cut down on some of the ancillary costs like controllers, subscriptions, you can share games and stuff. It won't be the absolute best graphics, but a ps4 Pro on a 65" 4K TV is still going to look absolutely incredible regardless.

But then with a One X, you definitely do have the best graphics, you could set up your kids with a profile on it too and if there's a PS game you want to play, swap consoles with them and give them the One X for a while. Means you then have access to all the exclusives and can subscribe to Gamepass and stuff.

Ultimately, neither is a wrong choice. Either way, enjoy!

Chaps,

You know when you log into your account on the PS4 you see a nice little library of the games you bought. Is there anywhere online when you log into the PS Store from a PC that you can see your library of games? Is it just your download list? That's awkward to traverse.

Load psdle add-on to your browser. Google how to do it.

Fairly new to the PS scene and didn't know about PSDLE. Thanks to you both!

P.S Any other essential addons, sites etc? I already use psprices.com and press-start.com.

Potential-Monke

Must look into the PSDLE myself, but I use https://store.playstation.com/en-ie/home/games and when you're logged in, tap on your profile name, and select 'Download List' to see all the games you can currently download.

Edit: And I just see now that you need the link I gave to use PSDLE. Handy though!

.

I bought 2 usb powered AC Infinity fans when I got the pro. One sits on time and the other is at the back directing the air out. As long as they are plugged in my PRO rarely if ever sounds like a jet and its the first gen noisey one.

Just a heads up for some folk, who only play on console and not on pc, Subnautica was released today for the PS4, €30 on the irish store.

um7y1h83ge06nx

So first world problems. I've bought both Spider-Man and God of War.

Which do I play over Christmas? I don't get much time for gaming with a child so looking for something that I can get good enjoyment from in relatively short gaming sessions. I'm thinking Spider-Man might be better craic in that context but God of War is more critically acclaimed.

CastorTroy

Yours just arrive yesterday as well? I got the same games from the amazon offer

um7y1h83ge06nx

Today actually. Looking forward to them, good deals.

So I just read a random headline about subnautica "I haven't been this petrified since residential 7". Is it actually survival horror? Very interested all of a sudden.

Edit: after looking at a quick vid, looks more like no man's sky under water?

Never played no man's sky so cant compare. You crash land on a planet and you have to get off of it within the "timeframe" to be rescued. Some horror aspects but more likeable to "what the **** can i hear, and is it around the corner or hiding in that hole over there" then jump scares or the like.

For shorter bursts of gaming, Spider-Man would probably be the best bet. Missions are short, side-stuff won't seem so laborious as you'll only be doing it in drips and drabs, and gameplay is quite simple so you can easily slip back into it and get a combat rhythm going.

God of War is definitely the better game though in almost every respect, but it's very continuous (eg. not missions, but a continuous journey through different locations), gameplay can be a bit more challenging to get into a good rhythm and the story is a lot deeper and would play better in longer sessions where possible.

Definitely play both if you can, as GoW would still be fantastic even played in shorter sessions, but Spider-Man is more of a pick-up-and-play game than GoW would be imo.

I'll be honest with you, I had to Google PUBG. So I'm not the target market.

I think it hurts Bluehole more than MS. MS at least had it on their console while the competition was only fortnite so it had a spot. Id say sales on PS will be well lower than if they managed to release a year ago.

I have BlackOps4 for zombies and blackout,a year ago i woukd have snapped up PUBG,now im not gonna bother and just play blackout of i fancy some BR

It has the Japanese dub too before the moaners start. Great to see these games coming quicker.

Mr Crispy

Good stuff. Looking forward to it!

So it's basically Yakuza, but from the law side? Still interested!

Hey All,

Can anyone recommend a site that sells PS4 download codes?
Specifically, I'm looking for RDR2 on the cheap

Thanks,

New feature from PlayStation. My PS4 Life creates a video of your gaming time, trophies, etc. Short video but fun all the same. My first game was Resogun, spent 2900 hours playing the PS4, 204 of those were on Witcher 3. Shocked that Fallout 4 was my 3rd most played at 111. Can't believe I spent that much time on that piece of ****.

I've played Destiny more than your total

PaddyBomb

First game: FIFA 2014

Total hours: 2078

Rocket league: 578 hours and I'm still terrible!

EoinMcLovin

First game - Killzone :Shadow Fall
2851 hours across 265 games
168 hours in Witcher 3
105 hours in GTA V
87 in Assassin's Creed Origins
2832 trophies
2185 bronze, 496 silver, 137 gold and 14 platinums
Rarest trophy is from Q.U.B.E. 2 where only 1052 players have earned it

Since they have all these stats, anywhere I can check how long I played a specific game?

More than 2,900 hours on Destiny alone!?!

Clearly I need to play more. If my total play time was a movie it would star James Franco and be called 127 Hours.
Longest was Arkham Knight at 35 Hours.

Varik

Games were
War thunder
Destiny
Destiny 2

Rarest trophy is for DC universe online

Potential-Monke

Not working now. Too many people using it apparently...

Finally!

First game: Resogun (was anyones different?)
Total time: 3250 hours
Total games: 130
1: CoD: Black Ops 3: 302 hours
2: NBA 2K16: 290 hours (until they turned off the online!)
3: CoD: Advanced Warfare: 277 hours
1505 trophies
7 Platinum, 70 gold, 258 silver, 1170 bronze
Rarest trophy: Mr. Wordlwide - Guacamelee 2 - 6357 earned this

Pretty cool feature in fairness! I wonder if you can get a list of all the games you've played and how many hours in each. BlOps 3 surprised me. I knew a CoD would be the top, thanks to it being the online online game I usually play. Thought AW or IW would be top. Didn't realise I spent so long in NBA, but I did set the games to full length and got through 2 full seasons like this, so not as surprising when I think about it.

Happy with my 7 plats, didn't think a trophy from one of my more recent games would be the rarest, but I'm sure that'll change once more people play it, simple enough plat in fairness.

kunst nugget

First Game: Outlast
Total hours: 1173 across 162 games
Most hours spent on a game: 139 hours on Witcher 3. 81 hours on Horizon Zero Dawn.
Rarest Trophy: Reader (Kona)

1829 hours spent playing
Most played game: 264 hours on Overwatch, 109 hours Destiny, 98 hours MGSV
Rarest trophy: Kali Mah! in Surgeon Simulator (a f*cking bronze trophy!)

Kinda guessed Overwatch would be my most played. I dip in and out of it but when I'm in it, I do put a good few hours in.

jimmytwotimes 2013

1,004 hours total play

murphyebass

583 hours in Destiny
219 hours in Destiny 2
104 hours in Infinite Warfare

1845 hours across 135 games.

I’m not sure I wanted to know these stats if I’m honest. Could have studied for a ****in PHD in that kinda time!!

Also is there a way of checking other games outside of your top 3??

I’d like to know how much time I’ve put into Onrush recently.

gimli2112

So I deleted a game and had the disc in the Pro. Luckily I had a disc game on the dashboardand was able to eject the disc from that but where is the eject button on the pro? After that fright I did the same thing about three hours later.
