Do you not have cloud saves for these?

I used these: Devolo dLAN 500 AV Wireless+

You can definitely get cheaper but I got these as there was a deal on at the time. Really useful, especially in old-build houses.

I got something like these, http://on-networks.com/products/powerline/pl200.aspx in Currys.
Can't find them on their website, cost about E25 in a sale.

I got this one here, it is really brilliant. This one has wifi included so you don't need to plug the PS4 in with a cable.

If you're with Eircom they are doing an offer at the minute and selling these for 29 euro which is a real bargain. http://www.eircom.net/accessories/homeplugs/homeplugs/plug2/

I picked up these powerline adaptors in currys yesterday.
Down to 60 euro but they had them in the clearance section for 39 euro.

http://www.currys.ie/Product/tplink-tlpa500pkit-powerline-adapter-kit-twin-pack/322499/7.14

What I like is they have a passthru for power and one of them has 2 network connections so will be able to run the pc and ps4 off it.

Will be weekend before I get around to installing them though, as the router is in the hall and the power is in the room next door so need to mess around a bit as hole in wall not big enough to run ethernet cable through.

Nice one, I was only looking for these a bit cheaper than 60. Can I ask which Currys you saw these in the bargain bin?

I really need to get on the US store. Sounds great, I've heard it'd next week for EU so I'll pick it up then though with madden I'm not sure how much I'll get to play it.

How about these ones?

3 ethernet ports

Worth mentioning here, from the PS4 bargains thread:

Games out in the next 90 days Amazon.co.uk

Out later, but just dropped to around the £40 mark:

The Order 1886

Dead Island 2

The Witcher 3

Evolve

Batman Arkham Knight

Finally, if you use Parcel motel you can get free first class shipping on all pre-orders. Oh also, you only pay amazon when the item ships.

Amazon prices seem to be rising again.:o

Played a little bit of of it and think its decent enough

CombatCow · 27-08-2014 07:08PM

Mmmm it's ok, iv finished the main storyline, couldn't be arsed doing the battle arena as it feels like padding and it's just not my thing. The story missions are pretty similar to second son and inFAMOUS 1/2, nothing really new, takes about 4 hours max. So all in all, more of the same but overall disappointing. The 6/10 reviews are pretty accurate.

It was the one in Mahon point Cork. They had only 2 there. And I was over there today and they are back on the shelves at 60 euro though. Looks like a newer model

Indeed but only 1 socket in the room so I needed the pass thru capability.

I see a lot of these advertising 500Mbps speed but the ethernet connection to the router is only 100MBps

How long is PSN out today / tomorrow?? FS Friday

tok9 · 28-08-2014 08:13PM

Since 4 to 5 in the morning. But if you signed in over the last few (5?) days, you should be able to login.. like I am now.

I'm on now, but it's not working great.

CombatCow · 28-08-2014 08:48PM

It's working if you have signed in within the last 5 days yeah, but there is limited functionality, like the store, account management and ps home >_> are not working.

Yeah,that's what I meant. I thought it was meant to be postponed to another date.

um7y1h83ge06nx · 28-08-2014 09:28PM

I picked a class time to upgrade my hard drive (sarcasm).

Can't activate it my primary PS4 or download digital games.

And the old drive is in an enclosure formatting.

Ah well. :-)

It was postponed from monday to today.

Do you guys think it is the right time now to buy a PS4? A friend bought it at launch but there really wasnt too much available for it. I am primarily waiting for FFXV (Pfft, ive been waiting for that since '06 tbh) but would like one to play some other games if there is a good lineup. Also is PS Plus worth it?

Each to their own opinion I think it was worth it at launch but I dont play for hours every day couple of hours here and there. As for now being the right time games are beginning to come thick and fast so if you see some that interest you then I'd go for it. As for PS+ definitely worth it.

Just saw the 399 Destiny bundle in XV. Think I might preorder that and if I don't like it im sure I could sell it at cost price to someone after, within reason

tok9 · 29-08-2014 06:40PM

Maybe I've just got it in my head since there was maintenance yesterday but the PS4 feels more responsive with friends list and messages. Anyone else think that?

Also I mentioned it to a few I played TLOU with that when I sent or received a message it would always say sent 7 minutes ago. They all seemed to notice the same thing. I just realised the other day the time was 7 minutes off so if you go to automatically update it'll fix that minor issue.
