    The fact that nobody has been able to replicate this message and theres only a few reports of it happening lead me to believe its just an elaborate troll.

    I have a headset with separate audio and mic plugs that I want to use with my PS4. I can just use one of those adapter/joiner things that converts both into one plug, right? Anyone know where I can get one locally? I need one tomorrow if possible.

    There's 2 standards for the 4 poles (Left, Right, Mic, Ground), apple and then everyone else.

    Apple kind of won out as Sony who used to use the other standard (OMTP) now use apples (CTIA) and so do most companies now or they allow both.

    Just make sure it says apple somewhere or compatible with Iphone or something like that.

    Something like this then?

    It mentions CTIA Standard in the description. I'm looking to pick one up in a shop here though. Would prefer not to have to wait a few days for delivery. You know anywhere that might have one?

    It was 100% true but an update that was put out today should have fixed it.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 12,529 ✭✭✭✭Varik


    There was an update on their side, I don't think there was a PS4 update.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 2,851 ✭✭✭skerry


    Bloodborne GOTY down to 17.99, happy days. My fledgling PS4 backlog is growing nicely :)

    Anybody else get 3 months free of Netflix for being a loyal PS Plus member? Seems too good to be true.

    Nope. Always see offers like that on Reddit but it's always America only.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 3,816 ✭✭✭Benzino


    I don't know if it's legit though, will check this evening.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 1,563 ✭✭✭Wing126


    That offer has been going around for a few people on reddit, so I'm pretty sure it's legit.

    I never get anything like this :(

    Does the offer say its for loyal members?

    A month or so ago I remember them doing this for random customers, or at least that's what the live support chat told me

    It does yeah.
    To thank you for being a loyal PlayStation®Plus member, here's a gift from us to keep you entertained when you're not playing games online.

    Enjoy 3 months of streaming the biggest and best TV shows and movies at no extra cost. And don't worry – you can redeem this code even if you're already a Netflix member. Don't miss out.

    Was just onto live chat there, and was told

    "Okay so it seems that the offer is being sent in batches to customers as to not crash the system with everyone redeeming codes at once. So please be patient you should receive a promotional e-mail at some point in the near future "

    Can't say I believe him tbh but would be nice

    If you google how to clean it out might be handy! Get a can of compressed aim though! Under no circumstances should you use a hover!

    So is this netflix offer legit? I clicked on the link and it took me to a page starting with pages.s4.exacttarget.com/...other stuff.... No security cert or anything, no way was I putting my email in that.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 7,848 ✭✭✭SureYWouldntYa


    No netflix offer for me yet, just a standard ps store update from them for me today

    Jealous of ye all


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 13,451 ✭✭✭✭Exclamation Marc


    I got that offer about three months ago.

    Totally legit, adds credit to your Netflix account. Expired last week though for me!

    I wonder would 10 minute mail work for this? I cant help but feel I'm signing up for more spam :D Im pretty sure the redeem link has my email or a token of some sort embedded anyway.

    I hear ya. I got rid of my day 1 PS4 there recently with the GameStop PS4 pro offer.

    It always sounded like jet engine. Seriously loud.
    By the end I was just hoping it didn’t catch fire. Scary stuff.

    The pro is whisper quiet in comparison.

    Last time this was on I wasn't eligible so wasn't really expecting to get it. Decided to check my inbox anyway and the ever elusive email is there. Clicked on the link and redeemed fine. Free netflix until January :D

    You need to enter the email for your PS Plus account. Otherwise it won't work.

    Any support avenue you can get on to about the Netflix deal? Been with PS+ plus for years and have never got a thing from them.
