Shorty

Some people just hate change :p I think the notifications look much nicer and more modern, you'll get used to them and quickly forget what they used to be like. Heck, as long as they don't do an Xbox and slow the OS down by 20% every time they update, they can do what they want. Very happy with the new Quick Menu although wish you could put power below customise (can you hide customise?)

I don't have my TV cable box hooked up and don't have a license. I only watch netflix and catch-up TV. I can watch other standard channels online on catch-up without a license. iPlayer has now changed to be under the TV license umbrella.

Where do I put my Fifas??

It's actually the possessive form of which as well as who, so yeah it's fine.

You top a lot of them I notice is that why you pointed it out haha. Pretty proud of the longest kill spree by 5 though! Pretty surprised that presumably only two of us have ever survived a full 15 minute crucible game without dying :p and one is @Jimbob!

For an app, it's been announced way too early. Also instead of auto running there should've been swipe to start and stop. You could still play one-handed but you could go backwards or stop to see something. (Apologies if this has been said already, just thought of it)

It may not play at native 4k but it will produce visuals in the living room in a way that you won't be able to do on a 1080p TV or with a normal PS4, and at a more reasonable price point than a 4k capable PC. The sales figures will answer this quite succinctly....

This came along quickly Anyone picked it up? @Blade ! I want it but right now can't justify it, might put it on my Christmas list! Launch trailer

Well since they wanted £25mil from the BBC which they didn't get, then Ch 4 jumped in and bought a 3 year deal, Bake Off can probably afford to lure those guys away... Edit: welp, I stand corrected.

Bake Off has gone to Channel 4 Well at least I won't need a TV license to watch it on demand next year....

Congrats Ramar everything's coming up Milhouse.

Well don't hype yourself based on nothing :p There's no precedent for this, just because you saw something good last year doesn't mean you'll get the same twice in a row. At least 4.00 drops today.

Had my existential/mortality crisis in my early twenties, mostly over it now, try not to think about it, probably won't come in this thread again....

Giving Gotham Season 2 another go (hated Barbara so much I couldn't really stomach it) and it's really good! They really build an awesome Batman-esque atmosphere, creates a gritty comic-book world better than most. Did just have to laugh at an episode though where five cops died, but Jim only felt bad about one of them because she had a name and a speaking role. That cop even got a funeral scene whilst presumably the other four were shipped off to the incinerator in cardboard boxes. Wonder if there's a TV Trope for that....

Probably because you buy good Android devices. I own a Nexus 7 and it's an amazing piece of kit, don't have a problem with it. Convinced my Mum to get a Nexus 4 and later a 5X. All still running swimmingly. But so many friends and family have issues with their mid or low budget Android devices and whenever I go to fix them, it's always a new looking version of the OS with a different menu etc, and often support for their device is outdated or simply non-existent. The 3GS was 7 years ago, from the 5 onwards I think you'll find iPhones are infinitely more futureproof as hardware capability has begun to plateau against software requirements.

Not sure but all notifications can be turned off. I turned them all off except party/game invites a long time ago....

Honestly this is why I hate Android. Fractured device base, third party OS interference, lack of support for specific issues. Sometimes when you have a problem, you're just fucked because some update to the OS has changed things beyond your control. My friend's phone has only about 200MB worth of apps, pictures and other manageable data. She's removed most apps to try and save space, but it still won't let her download and install any more. She's managed to move two or three to the SD card (audible and a couple of similar apps). 5GB+ of the onboard storage is taken up by misc system data. The rest is the OS. It can't be browsed or cleared. You can't even fit on the software needed if you want to root the phone to fix the problem manually. Pretty much her only option is to wipe the phone. I know iPhones are overpriced and too trendy, that a lot of people gravitate towards them for the wrongs reasons. That many things they do in their OS are well behind Android. But this kind of crap just doesn't happen with them....

We def need to do a video that shows the meet is more than half a day in the park I love that but going for food and games at Zell's has been the highlight for the last two years.

I made my not-quite-girlfriend-yet-probably-should-just-ask an awesome birthday present, took me freakin hours (like 20), practically had an anxiety attack just getting round to admitting I had something to give her because I was overanalysing whether it was too much effort or whatever. So got drunk on champagne/liquid courage and long story short she absolutely loved it so...

Incredibly easy to fake, literally 20 seconds in web developer tools. Despite how easy it was, they were lazy and didn't even research amazon's link structure. I actually feel like a sucker just for wasting effort typing out these three sentences.

So someone saw and capped that tweet but didn't click the link to tell us what it went through to...?

Unfortunately my Prime membership ran out and took The Americans with it D:

Confused as to why they're still selling them with 500GB and 1TB hard drives when a lot of us upgraded our PS4s to 2TB years ago for a relatively low price. Am glad to see there's 3 USB 3.1 ports though. Assuming that finally means one on the back so I could hide the headphone dongle.... Bluetooth 4 as well, actually catching up with current tech for a change. Here's the full tech specs:

Not sure about that. Lara Croft Go was released at £3.99 I think, maybe more, and received great media coverage, topped charts and had a 5 star average. I bought it on the back of that and they didn't even have the free/demo mode like this game. Word of mouth and the free mode will get everyone trying this, and social media will probably do a good job of reminding people that they paid £700 for their phone so the cost of a cup of coffee for a great game isn't so bad.

The pro looks lovely, except aesthetically which I am not sold on at all. It should have more of an accent, sharper edges and be more different to the new slim. However, a 4k TV and this might be my next luxury purchase when I have the spare cash. Was going to be a HTC Vive but now I'm having my doubts about the (near) future of VR. At first I was put off by no 4k blu-ray but then I realised I'm the same as @Blade, I don't buy Blu-rays or any videos on physical media anymore so not too bothered about that. I'm not sure if we're getting our wires crossed but against your original concern that PS4 Pro multiplayer players could have an advantage over PS4 players, I was trying to explain that, as evidenced by existing circumstances with PC gamers, the hardware discrepancy shouldn't affect your gaming experience, because they will use software to level the playing field.
