I know the ps4 is at the end of its product life cycle and the ps5 is on the way. Does anyone know if there is a ps4 price drop coming soon ?

Can't see a permanent price drop in the pro for at least 12 months

Never used them, but Gamestop have it for shipping, €40. No idea if that's good value though.

I was thinking of getting the 1.5 and 2.5 remix, but then heard about the 2.8. From what I can see, the 2.8 doesn't contain 1.5 and 2.5. Is that right? That would mean there are now 3 PS4 Kingdom Heart games, 1.5 and 2.5 is €40, 2.8 is €40 and 3 is €70?

You can get a complete collection too with all of them.

Potential-Monke · 30-01-2019 9:09pm

Think I'm best to give 1.5 and 2.5 a go before splashing. Don't know why I never picked them up all them years ago. Most likely because I saw it was Square and they did FF, and it looked like a Disney FF, and I have the FF fighting system!

CastorTroy · 30-01-2019 9:28pm

I don't think I've seen the 1.5,2.5 and 2.8 bundle anywhere. Haven't played any so picked the first pack up in argos when they had them cheap. Still have to play them

Hi, looking for help regarding the transfer of doom classic I downloaded on the PS3 years ago to the PS4, is it even possible?

There's no backwards compatibility with PS4.

Varik · 03-02-2019 2:47am

Sony patenting the modern equivalent of an old pc turbo button.

Backwards compatibility in PS5 looking more likely, would have probably been more work to make it not bc but still.

Hopefully they have cross buy for games released on both, last gen a lot of games did PS3 to PS4 upgrade deals and trade ins.

CastorTroy · 04-02-2019 6:42pm

I'm sure it can be applied to XBox as well, but just looking at trophy percentages here on my PS4 and it's kinda interesting how you can tell where people dropped games.
Like in God of War 93.9% got the first guaranteed trophy then 83.6% got the next. So maybe that 10% are still playing and yet to get to that point or they decided it wasn't for them

Rdwrer · 05-02-2019 10:12am

I actually wonder that myself sometimes. Like the easiest trophy in the game that you get for just following the basic tutorial and it will say only 90% got this trophy

CastorTroy · 05-02-2019 10:20am

Yeah, I wonder if people just start up the game then realise they don't want to play after all. Or maybe Sony count everyone who has the game installed.
I can't remember which one(s) but think there's a game or 2 that give trophies just for starting it. Would like to see those percentages

Don't have anything other than the stock DS4 myself, but a few sites recommend the Nacon Revolution Pro Controller 2 as the best 3rd party one. But keep an eye out for the Astro C40 TR is coming out the end of March, if she can wait. Looks really good.

Stay away from the Nacon.

SCUF or battlebeaver from what I've seen, lots of bad press for SCUF over the years but quality and reliability has been improved, battlebeaver come from the US so you would have that to deal with. Check out https://www.youtube.com/user/BiggerBulletGaming for honest review.

Anyone on PS4 pro with really annoying fan noise? Only bought it a few months before Xmas and some games drive it crazy to the point where the fans down out the game sound. I'd actually prefer my regular PS4 beck at this point. Do Sony offer any fix?

Yeah I get it too for some games, I just use headphones most of the time to drown it out

Ah crap. I was thinking of upgrading to Pro as mine gets a little noisy during RDR2. Not enough to need to adjust volume though. Randomly spitting out discs again also.

EoinHef · 10-02-2019 1:32pm

On the other hand,mine is not really any louder than my old base console.

Yeah it seems to just happen to random ps4s. Seen plenty of posts on reddit with the same issue, it's just something you have to live with. Just have a pair of headphones on hand when it gets too loud.

Zero-Cool · 10-02-2019 3:46pm

It's rare I get to use headphones in case the baby starts crying. TBH, I wish I kept my original PS4. Gonna try clean out the fans and take it out of the TV unit, see if it makes a difference.

It's kinda normal.
More demanding games make it louder imo. I hear recently released consoles (e.g. RDR2 bundle) are better but my launch Pro sounds like it will gently lift off my desk and drift out my window sometimes.

I got the Fortnite bundle during the summer and I've no issues with fan noise from it. I'm currently playing God of War which I think would be a pretty demanding game and I wouldn't hear the fans going while playing it.

gimli2112 · 11-02-2019 6:36am

it seems to be a bit of a lottery. The suggestions I saw online were, a) turn your tv up and b) buy an xbox. Doesn't appear to be another workaround.

Not yet, gonna try tonight.

ERG, definitely not normal. When my missus walks in the room and says "what the hell is wrong with your PlayStation". I got the Fortnite bundle a few months back but and it's always been louder than the base console but last 2 games Resi 2 and Div 2 beta (1 physical, 1 digital) drove it mad. Completely takes you out of a game like Resi 2 when the fans are louder than Mr. X footsteps.

I saw that Sony stealth released a new model cuh-7200 that's quiter and performs better. Mine is cuh-7116. Obviously getting rid of the old models attaching the Fortnite name to it with a cheap trade in deal.

Anyway, gonna try clean it out tonight and if no luck, try chance my arm with Sony to replace for the new model

Xenji · 11-02-2019 11:26am

I have the Monster Hunter Pro and you would not notice any noise from it from any game, but my friend has a launch version pro and it can sound like it is about to take off at times.

Any chance you could look at the back to get the model number when you have a chance? Stats with cuh-

It was the first CUH-7100 model to be released, its exact number is CUH-7166B.

I think the 7100 series started coming out in October/November 2017, I got mine at the end of January 2018.

Would seem to be the casee to me. When buying CPU/GPU on the PC side you may get a better or wrose chip. Some will use less power,have lower temps etc All the chips are within the tolerance but some will just be plain better.

People will pay extra money for binned chips,chips that have been proven to be better overclockers,better temps etc

Id have to imagine thats whats happening.

kunst nugget · 11-02-2019 11:01pm

My model is cuh7116b and I've no issues with the fans. I must be one of the lucky ones. It sits on a shelf with plenty of space around it away from the telly and no other devices beside it so maybe that makes a difference.

Taltos · 12-02-2019 7:43am

I’ve a launch pro, and anytime there is a heavy graphics on screen (a lot) it does sound like an airplane about to take off.
Weirdly I got two fans that I plug in, one is sitting on top of where it gets hottest and the other is at the back blowing the air out of the cabinet (ikea tv unit - so a bit small), once Ive both of these running (near silent) I rarely hear the roaring anymore.

Looks similar to the one I got: https://smile.amazon.co.uk/gp/product/B017KE8OG0/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_asin_title_o06__o00_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1, mine is £10 cheaper.

Spent €99 on a 6TB off WD themselves from their refurbish stock.

Have to be quick as stuff goes out of stock very quickly and that's even with stock alerts set.

Potential-Monke · 15-02-2019 11:01pm

Will have to check the model when I get home, but it does sound like it's about to take off. I have it about 18 months at this stage iirc. But, I'm pretty sure it's because mine is near a wall (limited space for now), I must test it sometime and take it into the middle of the room and see if there's any difference. The wall behind it can be red at times. Vertical or horizontal doesn't make a difference, except that vertical has more 'motion' noise.

Benzino · 24-02-2019 1:57pm

Looking for a bit of advice. In the last 2 days I've received 3 emails from Sony saying I requested to change my password, which I haven't. The email says if I didn't request it, make sure only I have access to the account. Which is very helpful ha.

I'm already using 2 step verification and my password isn't been re-used for other accounts. I've removed my payment methods and there is no money in my account. Anything else I can do? I'm thinking it's probably somebody entering in the wrong email.

Varik · 24-02-2019 2:24pm

Who ever it is has you email.

They either just have the email from a typo on trying to use their own email, or it's malicious and they have your email from either some marketing list or a breach elsewhere.

Change the psn account email, so either to something fully new or if using Gmail use the dot trick. Most places treat ab@gmail.com and a.b@gmail.com as different emails but Google treats them the same. You can change your acoount email to one with a periodin it so chances are whoever it is now would be trying the wrong email.

.G. · 24-02-2019 2:26pm

I'd change the password on it anyway and change the email address too. Its possible its someone who has your email address and is trying to gain access. Thread here before where someone with 2FA on their account still had it stolen from them due to Sonys customer care teams lax procedures.

PS4 Megathread goes fourth.
