Isn't there a way to remotely log out of all devices? You have 2FA enabled?

If you have "activated as your primary system" then anyone logged into the system can play your games. You have to deactivate before selling. Initializing is supposed to do this automatically, but only if there is a working internet connection.

You can do it remotely via your PSN account on the Sony website

The point is he erased his PS4, so his account should not have been accessible.

Digital Foundry were very impressed with the triggers and rumble:

The USB 2.0 A port on the front has the lightning bolt symbol on it so its the type that can stay on while the console is off (not just in rest).

So guessing that's meant to be the main charging port for controllers. With USB BC it goes up to 7.5W compared to standard USB 2.0 which is 2.5W and USB 3.0/3.1 which is only 4.5W

The cable that comes with it is USB-A to C. Not sure why there's a USB-C port on the console itself.

USB 3.1 Gen2 /Superspeed+ Type C can do 15w, and then if it's a PD type C it can do anywhere between 15W and 100W. Won't be near 100W, but considering the PS VR used about 15W it could power that by itself.

Not to mention you can have video over USB C so it could be power and video to the next PS VR.

Just checked the Google play store on my phone, went to my apps and saw the new ps app update, just in case anyone is waiting for a notification, worth just manually checking there. I sold my ps4, dedicated as primary accounts across all my user profiles and initialised. Will be interest to see what my account says when i log in.

Edit: account looks good, last played Fallout 76 (really miss that), I'd say definitely go to the PlayStation website, log in and see if you can deactivate devices from there.

I like the new app but the store search is still horrible.

I searched nba 2k21. The first result is nba 2k20. Then a bunch of VC items for 2k20. 16 results down gives you 2k21. Why can't it just give you an exact match your search query first?

Are many taking a punt on the 3D Pulse headset? I'm not one for headsets usually but very tempted with this 3D audio that's being hyped to the last

30-10-2020 08:52AM

Apparently it'll be possible to disable the haptic triggers, it's an accessibility feature to outright disable. Know somebody was asking about it a few pages back.

I was converted to headsets with the PS gold one. But when they talked about the tempest engine etc in Mark Cernys update in March, I knew I was gonna have to get it. Have it preordered and will try and get feedback up on it ASAP for those wondering. Am hoping it's better than "more surround-sound-y" but I've never been a huge audiophile so slightly concerned the features will fly over my head

Not a chance of that PS5 fitting in my IKEA shelving (Kallax). I had bought a mid shelf to split the big square section in two hoping I'd get both in a single square similar to my ps4/Xbox set up.

But I do have a floating shelf just behind my TV an inch under the top of the TV so it's under the eye line. I think that will live up there and stay vertical. It will look great I think. I'll run cables through the shelf so it will be hidden.

Been messing around on the play station website last while changing my password logging out all devices etc. It won't let me deactivate all devices as I've already done it in the last 6 months.

From what I can remember the night before I sold the console I deactivated the console wiped it and everything was signed out when I turned back on the machine. The two games that were played recently number one I've never had these games and number two they were played on the 24th of this month.

I wonder what CEX do with the consoles they buy them from you? Was more than a month ago I sold it sure.

Got it as an update on the Google Play Store was just there when I went into my apps.

Ya, I've no idea how someone was able to play games on the account really weird but kinda scary ha.

My updated app still not showing what the hell

shrewdness · 30-10-2020 12:36PM

I was looking at the Pulse headset myself but was going to hold off until I heard some reviews first, but now they're all sold out for now by the looks of it. Will be interested to hear what others make of them, and I might get them later when they're back in stock.

Mitch Connor · 30-10-2020 12:40PM

what I really want is back paddle addition for the controller.

Used to playing with additional paddles at this point - and it will be annoying to go without.

I really was surprised the Dual Sense didn't come with them - I was sure that the release of the back buttons thing for the DS4 was so that there would be feature/button parity between the new controller and old one.

I assume Scuff will have something soonish, and probably some other options from NaCon or the like.... but nothing at or near launch from what i can see. Annoying.

I love my PS4 Gold headset, can switch it easily between PS4, PC, laptop etc. i use it a lot now working from home, only small thing (and its tiny really cos you still get a lot) is the battery life. To be honest it stills gets a good 7 hrs.

I've a new phone and all so odd its not coming up. I find the play store can be very random with stuff like this and always seems to be apps i'm really waiting on ha.

davidom2513 · 30-10-2020 01:05PM

Has anyone else pre-ordered games/accessories from Gamestop for collection in-store on release day?

Any idea how we can manage to get our hands on the orders now? My local store is closed.

I've contacted Gamestop via email 1 week ago and no reponse.

When I preordered my games in store the weekend before the lockdown they advised that they would be in touch before the games are released to arrange postal delivery

Its the big thing im surprised at too, hopefully they bring out the paddle attachment sooner rather than later, like the DS4 one. I have been using it the last couple of months and am dreading using it without.

On the topic of headsets, SteelSeries have the Arctis 7P which claims to be compatible with the new audio
*Fully compatible with PlayStation 5's Tempest 3D AudioTech
https://steelseries.com/gaming-headsets/arctis-7p?color=white

I need a new headset, I have a warranty replacement on the way for the Arctis Pro + GameDAC if anyone is interested which will be brand new, PM me here. Itll be on adverts too.

Into the Spider-Verse suit looks great. The 60’s print-style ‘POW’ when you hit enemies, the same frames in the way he moves. Really nice.

the stutter-y affect from the movie is in the animations too. I have to say, that's looking more and more like one to pick up at launch

I preordered Watch Dogs which came out yesterday and haven't heard anything.

I'm hoping it's in the post since my local store isn't opened for click and collect.
