It's gas though :pac:

Good news story over on BBC website:

Gamer with cerebral palsy given modified PS4 controller

Peter Byrne contacted the firm as tremors caused by his condition meant he kept hitting the standard controller's touchpad, pausing games.

Alex Nawabi from Sony's marketing team said he would investigate.

He said he had undertaken the work on his own initiative and told Mr Byrne it would not be covered by the warranty. "I'm not 100% sure how long it will last, as it's the first time I've ever done anything like this," he wrote. "I have plans to build you one more controller in case this one breaks but I'd like feedback on this one first."

Think I was talking to JCD (drunk) about Final Fantasy last weekend, and the garbage of XIII. This review is in my favs and I still visit it for a quick chuckle.

There is something about having your favourite band make the soundtrack of your game that's fascinating...

Think I'll be getting this soundtrack on vinyl....

Solvable, are you Kontrol Freeks White or Purple and if they are white, have they gone all manky?

Also, is the plastic wearing away, mine are and I'm going to get a new set

No, mine are the Purple ones. Got them before they released the white versions. Haven't noticed any kinda of grime buildup. Physical condition of them is still perfect.

Sent one of my PS4 pads to Playstation cause it has a dead spot.

What's been peoples experience with that system?

It's on it's way back to me but wondering if it's repaired but ideally hoping it's just a new replacement

Generally it will be a refurb/replacement they give you.

Heads up for PS owners and I assume Xbox guys...

Battlefield 4 is going for a tenner on the PS Store at the moment, it went from the most flawed online game I've ever seen (them first 9 months!) to possibly the smoothest online game on PS4....

They are giving the DLC away now monthly for the next few months starting with Dragons Teeth this month, great time to take the plunge if you haven't played it...

Be warned, its a huge game so I'd imagine a huge download... and the campaign is nonsense, but noone plays BF for Campaign...

If you can't wait for the DLC to come out by the month sure just get the premium one.....

Considering its a PS4 launch title, it still really holds up...

Both Battlefield 4 and Hardline and all their Premium map packs are included in Eas €25 Access subscription on the Xbox.

Ea Access is probably the best €25 you can spend on the Xbox, the only EA Xbox One games that are not currently a part of that subscription are Need for Speed, Star Wars Battlefront, Unravel, PvZ GW2 and Rory McIlroy PGA Tour(goes into it tomorrow).

For that price I'm gonna give it a go. Have to upgrade my HD first, been putting that off for some time.

You can buy one of these and do a swapsy and put your old HD in the caddy....

Just back up anything you would really like to keep to a separate HD/USB, don't make the mistake I did of just plopping in a new HD and then remembering you forgot to back up PT... :

The PS4 is slightly different than PS3 as when a new HD is inserted it ties the console to it...

If I was to do it again I wouldn't go backing up disc installs but I would backup updates of games... (if it allows it)

When you have the new HD in PS4 grab the bigger of the 2 current firmware files off the Sony site, format a key to fat 32, create a folder called "PS4" and another folder inside that and call it "UPDATE" and put the 8 or 900mb file in...

You then install it from safe mode when the console boots with the new HD...

Then you sign in as normal and then you can restore anything you plan keeping via the backup...

I only basically uploaded my saves to the cloud and everything else I redownloaded and reinstalled, took ages, lol...

Cool, I bought that a few weeks back but ya know, on the long finger and sh1t. I've had to delete games over the last few weeks and Uncharted 4 tonight I'm at capacity so I have to swap out soon.

So the drive can be removed from the casing? May have to invest in this.

Played Bf4 solidly for almost a year. It is awesome. I'd still be playing it but Destiny happened and I lost my mind!

Well I've just invested so I'm gonna give it a go, I haven't played since the original on xbox I think, maybe I played some of 2 but can't recall. Working my way through the campaign just to get a feel for things so hopefully first MP session at the weekend (but there's also Uncharted), schedule is getting tough.

The campaign gets little love but I quite enjoyed it. MP is fabulous imo. Never really got the vehicles. I get shredded by other players but can't seem to do the same. As for flying I could never figure it out. I had 3 on the PS3 but never got into it. BF4 blew me away from the get go.

Anyone play the Overwatch beta? I had a hop off it and enjoyed the little bit I played last night. Although a lot of it was experimenting and wondering why R1 + R2 wasn't working right. I'd say it would be good craic with a full team.
