Don't know what I did to the last thread to mess it up for some.

So, PS4 stuff then.

Just picked it up on the girlfriend's credit card. It's downloading as we speak. Her... I'll deal with her tomorrow.

How's the noise when playing? My original one is like a jet engine.

Mine was the same, like a hair dryer. But ever since I got the CUH-1200 model it's a lot quieter, at least playing digital games, physical games make some noise starting up.

Absolutely whisper quiet. Even the last of us, which usually makes it go like a jet engine, practically no sound.

Excellent news. Hope the Pro is the same.

You'd need something like this: http://www.lindy.co.uk/audio-video-c2/converters-scalers-c105/hdmi-4k-arc-extractor-with-hdmi-pass-through-cec-emulation-p8864/s9022?utm_source=google&utm_medium=cpc&utm_term=hdmi-4k-arc-extractor-with-hdmi-pass-through-amp-cec-emulation&utm_campaign=product%2Blisting%2Bads&gclid=CjwKEAjwgdS-BRDA7fT68f6s8zMSJADZwHmvxKnLlHB2_fX60m8FDbJY2sP6kAb4HpvyHkZ4x5BK2hoCyRzw_wcB

Sell the slim and get a 1200 model PS4 . I can't see why anyone buying a PS4 now would not buy a 1200 over a slim as the 1200 has a higher spec and is very quite . The slim is definitely at the bottom rung of the ladder in the hierarchy of PS4 now .

Your gonna have to cough up another €45 to use your headset . That's messing.

Check your TV might have optical passthrough.

Only changed up so I'd have a new warranty. Old console was nearly 2 & half yrs old, controller shagged aswell. Not arsed about high spec consoles as I have a gaming PC for that and that I only play Overwatch at the moment. Fecking game didn't come out of the console since May up till yesterday.

Ain't got a TV, using a gaming monitor. Doesn't have that port in the back of it. Will have to buy an adapter it seems.

Great game! Enjoyed it more than any of the Uncharted's I've played (1-3).

Is it worth spending six quid on Tombraider on PS4 if I've got it already for PS3 from PS Plus? Is it a decent upgrade?

Very much so.

If anyone is on NBA 2K17 and looking to play online (My Park, Pro-Am, messing around) give me an add - sheehy83. Playing with randomers is so bad.

I made a Pro-Am team for Boards/Irish/friendlies. If you fancy playing (don't worry bout skill, just a bit of craic), go to pro-am from career menu and make yourself a free agent and i can add you.

Just making a post here in case any Boards players who might not be posting in the nba 2k17 thread.

Is Playstation Now officially available in Ireland?

Can't find anything on Sony's website other than the pricing for the UK.

Not that I'm aware. I'm sure they'd be preaching from the rooftops if they could garner more paying customers. It's a shame, I've genuinely thought about subscribing a few times

Apologies for the really stupid question but I just can't figure this out! My 8 year old son is talking about asking for a PS for Christmas. Argos seem to have a good bundle at the minute for €300 including a lego star wars game. But before I buy it I can't figure out if we will need the internet to use the console. I understand of course we'll be relying on disc games and he won't be able to play online with friends but as he's so young that's not a problem for the time being.
We're rural with no landline internet available and can't see this changing anytime soon. We only have a mobile hotspot with a 15gb per month download limit. Speed is 1-2mb download, 0.5mb upload in case that's relevant.
I haven't posted here before so hope I'm in the right place. Thanks

No you can use the PS4 offline. You'd only need online and a PSN subscription for online gaming but there's plenty of games you can play offline - Lego ones among them.

Thanks gimli - I've read about patches and updates. Do I need to worry about them at all?

Not 100% sure. I wouldn't have thought so but I have an online connection so the PS4 is up to date.
You can't play games online if you don't have the most recent versions but again this only applies to online not offline.

Hi.

The PS4 will still connect to the internet and update the software when required so you can still use the online features like the store and free game demo's etc . You can still play certain Sony titles online without PS+ as well .

Have fun.

Nailz

I would suggest setting up the PS4's connection with your internet anyway for the sake of handiness in case you ever needed to use it on the PS4. There'll be can option to 'Connect to the internet' (or something to that effect) in the Network settings on the PS4 with a checkbox beside it, uncheck it if you want it disconnected, and check it if you do.

Some patches and updates do actually benefit some of the games in certain regards. Some can be bug fixes or gameplay patches that help the performance and overall enjoyment of the game, while others might even provide additional content.

A lot of the time these aren't necessary at all, and most games can be played through without a bother, and it shouldn't spoil the experience especially if you're little fella is still very young. Some games might actually be fairly buggy without an update, so in this regard you might need it to update those particular games. What I would recommend you do in these situations is google whether or not the game on the disk is stable without an update as that sort of news travels fast online these days, and then let the PS4 apply the update if needed.

Some games also provide in-game live updates, particularly sports games. So if he wants to play PES or FIFA connectivity to the internet will improve the experience a small bit, but then again, they're not a requirement.

The major issue with downloading patches and applying live updates in your situation is that a lot of these downloads are pretty large, and will likely eat up a massive chunk of your 15GB allowance, so be sure to regulate the downloads wisely... Given the speeds you're getting too, some downloads will take ages; varying from hours to days even!
