I think it autopatches games and uploads saves to the cloud.

Yeah, Microsoft gives you cloud saves for free, Sony makes you pay. It's about the only useful feature for PS+ for me but I just copy the saves manually to a USB stick at the end of every session now.

I see, so it still saves locally, just don't get a backup unless I do it manually.

Not worried about auto-patches for the few games I play, I will not bother with the sub then, just wanted to make sure what I was missing as not had the sub for a while.

Thanks

The other thing is not being able to take advantage of PS+ discounts in sales. But if you wait long enough, the non-PS+ price will also drop to the same at some point.

Speaking of PS+ discounts I picked up Far Cry 5 last night for £6.99 on the store - it's this weeks Deal of The Week. I've tried it before and fell out with it pretty quickly but for that price I'm willing to give it another shot. I am hoping that some of these digital games will still be available to me on the PS5. Worth picking up when they're dirt cheap, I reckon.

The PS store does have some really nice offers, at that kind of price I’m tempted to double dip for another playthrough with trophies, even though I’ve done it on PC.

Ps4 direct to my LG CX, then to my sonos ARC.

Anyone know what audio settings I should be using, my tv cannot pass DTS, should I be using linear PCM or bitstream Dolby?

Thanks

Supposedly the Sonos doesn't support LPCM yet:

Very annoyed, near the end of The Last of us II and my PS4 Pro just shut down almost instantly like a power cut, it turns on for a few seconds and then powers off again, bloody frustrating as this was probably the last game I was going to play on the system, if only it could have held out a few more hours

If I wait until I grab a PS5 will I have to play through the whole game again?

I'm sorry to hijack the thread,but does anyone have a PSNow free trial code they could pm me? It's for a genuine cause.

Oh yes, in that case I presume Bitstream dolby until sonos update and switch to linear PCM. Cheers

arghhhhhhhh why did my PS4 Pro have to die now!!!!

Took it apart today and can't see anything obvious, it just comes on for a about 1 second and then nothing

I read this and forgot about replying.

Unless you have PS+ and it's been uploading your saves to the cloud or you have been copying them manually to a USB drive, then yes, you'll have to start again - even if you got a second PS4.

And there is no way to get them off the HDD?

No, it’s encrypted to the key in your console.

I posted a couple of days ago, but I'm finally going to get a PS4. There's at least 10-15 exclusives I want to play, and as much as I love my Xbox, I'm starting to wonder whether I should have got a PS4 originally. There's far more exclusives I'm interested in. Regardless, I'm excited for finally trying games like Spiderman and TLOU.

It crossed my mind but I am not patient enough. Probably going to hold off on next gen for a while, looking to upgrade my TV before anything else.
