    Hi,
    I have a PS4 pro. Currently I move it between my family home in Dublin and my apartment in Cork, I'm just debating buying a second one so I think negates the need for hauling it back and forth when I'm visiting home.
    I presume there's no issue with logging in to the second PS4 and having access to my games or am I being too optimistic.

    Yupp should work fine like if one of the lads calls over, he signs into my PS4 with his login and has all his info. Just make sure you backup all saves to the cloud so you can easily download them to each console.

    Thread title made me think 'i wonder where those 2 girls are now....'

    You can, however, you can only set 1 console as primary (this can be swapped back and forth), this means that it will only auto upload saves and data from the primary console and doesn't actually keep both in sync. This is a pain if you forget to upload play data from the non primary console, you'd think this sync stuff would be standard in this day and age.

    If others use the one in the family home make sure you set it as primary.
    Basically on your primary everyone gets access to your ps plus and digital library, on the non primary only your account does.

    So manually upload save data for each game? Fair enough, it does seem archaic but I suppose there's method to their madness, do I need PS Plus for this to work?

    Cloud saving is PS Plus only.
