PS4 Owners Thread

I would consider grabbing a external HDD if there was a USB port on the back.

Another reason to upgrade to the Pro.

I would consider grabbing a external HDD if there was a USB port on the back. I try to keep my entertainment center as clean looking as I can and I don't really like the idea of a USB cable permanently attached to the front, center of my console. I guess I will just have to manage the storage if the 1TB drive i put in the PS4 gets full. It hasn't been a problem so far.

You could always use something like this

to make it much less obvious.

That would actually make it more obvious, due to the slant of the ps4's front side. The orientation of the connector would go up, and make it visibly stick out more, as the ps4 would be sloping away from it.

Sony is adding PS4 games to PSNow.

This would explain why PS3 and various smart devices were suddenly dropped from the service. Can't imagine Sony would want a scenario where PS3 owners could play PS4 games without a PS4

They needed to make some changes to PS Now after the Xbox Game Pass announcement. This is an improvement but it still costs twice as much and requires streaming instead of full game downloads.

Right but I think that they may have had this planned for a while, since they announced the PS3/devices cut off about a month ago.

Looks like the recent 4.5 firmware update screwed up a bunch of people's WiFi..

The PS Plus games for April have been announced. I'm not really all that excited about any of them as of right now but Drawn to Death does have an interesting look to it. The quality of this month's offerings really depends on how the reviews turn out for that game.

I just added an EHD to my ps4 and it took a couple of attempts to get it to work. But now it's okay. I have a 500gb ps4 so for the past year I've been deleting game data in order to play new ones... thank god I don't have to do that anymore.

 

[yourbeliefs]

I just don't play my PS4 enough to justify a new HDD. It would make my life easier but I probably spend less than 75 hours a year on my PS4, although that MAY change thanks to Horizon: Zero Dawn and if I can focus enough to play Final Fantasy XV during the summer doldrums.

Still, between that and my computer having a 240 GB SSD, it's not too uncommon for me to be like this whenever I get a new game:

I think I might just give up on trying to play through Uncharted 3 and just skip to Uncharted 4 next time I get the urge to play one of those games.

Ehhh.. it's debatable as to which one is more fun to play...

Apparently PS4s have a bug problem..

Any piece of electronic is subject to that, from tv's to coffee makers.

Uncharted 4 was ok. Graphics were nice but the gameplay and story was annoying.

Disagree. I enjoyed it very much. Curious, did you play all of the others? I thought it was a very good ending to the story.

The PS Plus games for May have been announced. For not having any AAA games this isn't a terrible month. Tales from the Borderlands and Abzu are pretty decent offerings.

Here's some footage of the Remastered Crash Bandicoot games.
