    You only gave them permission today to start collecting data - will be ready for next year.

    If they did supply data for last year, they'd be admitting to collecting data against your preferences.

    They probably do have the info, but can't share it because you chose not to.

    Anyone know if you can change pre orders or do something with a pre order for Gamestop?

    Have Avengers and Cyberpunk pre ordered but with both delayed I wouldnt mind changing the pre orders to something out now rather than waiting another 8 months

    I've definitely changed pre-orders there before. As long as you have the receipt or card it should be fine. I only changed a pre-order to another preorder tho.

    The rewards to the 2019 wrap up thing are working now.


  • Registered Users Posts: 13,853 ✭✭✭✭Potential-Monke


    Played 84 games on PS4 in 2019

    Top 3 most played:

    1: Assassins Creed Odyssey - 93 Hours (just got the Plat the other day!)
    2: Call of Duty Modern Warfare (new) - 88 Hours (considering it only came out a few months ago, that's impressive for me!)
    3: Beat Saber - 64 Hours (my arms can attest to this)

    Top Genre: FPS - 15 games, 154 trophies, 184 hours

    Played on 289 of the 365 days last year
    - 1583 total hours (65.5 days)
    - 1521 hours locally
    - 69 hours in PSVR (only 5 hours outside of Beat Saber...)
    - 62 hours online (eh, how can MW be 88 hours then... I didn't play the campaign or Spec Ops missions, always online)
    - 10 hours - longest streak (disappointing)
    - Monday night is my prime time

    Earned 617 new trophies: 2 Plat, 28 gold, 114 silver, 473 bronze

    Saved €26 through PS+ offers/deals

    My 2019 Title: MARKSMAN
    84 Games - 1583 Hours - 617 Trophies


    Pretty neat feature, even if everything isn't adding up properly. I redeemed a 2019 Wrap Up Theme and Avatar, but when I went to redeem it had 8 items:

    ACTION HERO Avatar
    MASTER EXPLORER Avatar
    SPORTS PHENOM Avatar
    SPEED DEMON Avatar
    MARKSMAN Avatar
    LEGENDARY WARRIOR Avatar
    MASTER STRATEGIST Avatar
    PlayStation 2019 Wrap-up Theme

    Lads, anyone know where I would get a replacement dongle for the Sony Wireless Headset? The original one.

    Doesn't appear to be any official ones for sale as new, but plenty used ones (eBay), and I've also read you can pair the Gold headset to 3rd party dongles, but you get a small receiver you've to plug into the audio port on the controller.

        What’s its use ? I struggle enough with the buttons on it now without having to retrain my brain.

          Picked one up at lunch time. Will try it out later after work.

          You can map 2 buttons to it, for example in FPS games you can set 1 to crouch/prone and 1 to reload.

          Can be handy to go prone quickly when in a gun fight.


        2. Registered Users Posts: 28,875 ✭✭✭✭CastorTroy


          Does it replace the existing button or is it just an alternate.
          Like if I assign crouch to it, would L3 still crouch?
          Basically will it stop those annoying times I accidentally press L3 or R3? Will it stop me trying to aim at someone's head only to then reload and mess it all up?

          Alternative. You can map any button to the two paddles. 6ou lose the aux charge point on the bottom of the pad though if you use it.

          I was a day 1 with this, basically for CoD, and while it would be beneficial, I haven't taken the splash as I really don't think (at this stage) it would be of much benefit. Really should have had 4 buttons...


        5. Registered Users Posts: 3,506 ✭✭✭Damo 2k9


          Doesnt seem to be in stock in Dublin anywhere...will probably have to order online.

          Seems to have been switched to online only by GameStop, €33.50 including shipping. It is £26 plus shipping from Game so would still be cheaper in GameStop.

          Just ordered anyway. They were showing as in stock in a couple of other counties, but now that seems to be removed.
