Yeah I know your pain on that one, it is annoying.

It's a shame theres no way to crack/mod the PS4 OS .... yet, Im sure someone will manage it one day. That will allow us to modify the appearance of our dashboard.

I really want a dedicated Twitch app too!

Got a PS4 for the home last Friday. My partner completed Journey and I'm hammering through Bloodborne with a fearsome decorum.

One question: I had Bloodborne (standard) then bought the GOTY edition; am I safe to delete the standard versions install without losing my save?

Deleting the game does not delete your saved file

I always wondered why they didn't design the x1 so that there was no need for the external power brick.

Surely there would be enough space inside that horrible VHS case they used

I am looking at picking up a PS4 in the next week or so, I was wondering how I could tell if the retailer is selling the updated model or is there a shop that you know of that definitely selling the newer one?
Also, any recommendations as to what my first 5 games should be? I was thinking Bloodborne, Last of us, Uncharted, Destiny and a racing game?

Thanks

Does anybody use the above TV with their ps4? I'm looking at getting one for my daughter, who is only 8 so she doesn't need anything special and would like to hear people opinions on it or if anybody has have got one at similar cost and and could recommend one?

Not sure if this is helpful, but I was just loking at tv's and saw this which seems a good deal http://www.argos.co.uk/static/Product/partNumber/4533140.htm

Might be a bit big for your needs though.

Seems good for the price but I think it's the older model of the one I linked?

It'll be the updated model by this point, I can't imagine there's much old stock left anywhere.

Microsoft wanted to avoid the rrod from the 360 overheating etc warranty's that cost them a lot of money at the start of last gen. Hence the bigger case with larger fan, it does actually afford Microsoft a much quieter system to be fair. And those in the states or areas with iffy voltage or bad thunderstorms, if the power surges then it mostly only takes the PSU and not the entire system unlike ps4.

Pros and cons. X1 is one ugly system, ps4 is very elegant and compact but then it gets hotter and if it power surges then its maybe goodbye ps4.

I prefer the sleek design of the ps4 , but I guess both have good and bad points in regards to their designs and aesthetics..

Much appreciated, thanks

Picked up Toukiden: Kiwami and Wolfenstein the new order. Buy one get one half price from GAME. Never heard of toukiden but looks good.

Infinite Missions, double and triple weapon and armour content etc, looks good!

fergie128 · 14 Jan 2016 at 15:47

Was Toukiden brand new or a pre-owned? Really like the look of it, and at buy one get one half price I might just go for it.

If you make a US PSN account then you can download the Twitch app via that and then use it with your regular PSN account. No idea why it isn't available here yet (oh wait SCEE, lol

).

Digital X · 14 Jan 2016 at 17:03

Pre owned. Never had a JRPG or whatever this is, but it's got upgrades, plenty of stuff to do. Quite fun tbh.

Zatoichi.uK · 14 Jan 2016 at 17:12

Twitch works fine in the PS4 browser really.

What's the best racing game on PS4? I'm looking at Project Cars and it seems pretty good from what I've seen. Also, Need for Speed 2015 looks not bad but that is still around £40. I know those are two completely different types of racers but I am not picky which style, whatever is the most enjoyable out there is what I'm looking for.

I also have Driveclub from PSN+ which I've never actually played.

beachBOYken · 15 Jan 2016 at 16:41

driveclub more arcadey and social activities implemented

Project cars more sim like.

I would go for Project cars personally but Ive not played it for a while, its a had a lot of updates since as well, likewise drive club.

steveo · 15 Jan 2016 at 18:25

World of Tanks is out on the 19th not sure if anyone is interested its a fun game. Must have put in over 15 hours just on the last weekend beta

I'm tempted by NFS Rivals for $12 in the US Sale to supplement all of my other car games...
