James Posted December 28, 2014 Share Posted December 28, 2014 I had managed to get onto the PS Store last night through my PS4 and with hearing people and stories say that PSN is back up, I booted up my PS4 a little bit ago in the hopes that I'd be able to get on properly but nope, still down. Bloody disgrace. I wasn't bothered with it being down on Christmas or Boxing day as I wasn't going on my PS4 anyway but now, yeah as others have said it's getting ridiculous. What's annoying me though is that downloadable games, which I've paid for and are installed to my PS4, can't be played or accessed as there's no PSN. I guess it's so they can check you have the license to play the game but if I've bloody well paid for it and it doesn't have any online functionality what-so-ever (so like Hohokum for instance) I should be able to play the damned thing! I've paid for and own the game so it should be useable. Or is this another instance of how BS this industry is going in it say that we don't actually own the games but merely a license to play them. Ridiculous is what it is. Least I was able to install and update some games with it being offline so that's something at least. You need to make your console the primary console and then you can play them offline when you can't get to PSN. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jimbob Posted December 28, 2014 Share Posted December 28, 2014 I managed to get on PSN this morning, i'll be on later again. Spent some Christmas monies on the January Sale they've got on. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Aneres11 Posted December 28, 2014 Share Posted December 28, 2014 I just tried again. Still can't get on. Kinda sucks. I get to the sign in and then coz I'm a new user to Ps4, it goes through all of the friends and sharing options, who can see your name etc. Once I get to the end it then says communication error. Kinda fed up going through that screen now so just gonna sack it all of until we get word it's back online fully. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
somme Posted December 28, 2014 Share Posted December 28, 2014 Yeah I can't get on either. It is quite annoying but the first time all year I've had any problems. These things happen, shall go watch a movie instead! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Esequiel Posted December 28, 2014 Share Posted December 28, 2014 You can change your mtu to 1473 that is working for some people. Sucks for you guys though, I really hope Sony fix this soon its not good. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hero-of-Time Posted December 28, 2014 Share Posted December 28, 2014 I got access to the store and can seey friends and do party chat but still can't play online. Weird. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tales Posted December 28, 2014 Share Posted December 28, 2014 What is MTU? And why does it make PSN work? And who figured it out? I see the info all over Internet but I'm a bit sceptical about changing network settings so unless the suggestion comes from Sony directly I rather wait.

Emerald Emblem Posted December 28, 2014 Share Posted December 28, 2014 Hopefully this will be sorted before I get my PS4 in a fortnights time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tales Posted December 28, 2014 Share Posted December 28, 2014 If PSN ever gets back on* I'm itching for Tomb Raider, Thief and Sleeping Dogs at those prices. I still prefer physical version though. Still haven't decided. *I can access the store, but it doesn't show the January sale. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I still prefer physical version though. Still haven't decided. *I can access the store, but it doesn't show the January sale. It should on a laptop. I noticed earlier it didn't on mobile. However if you search for Tomb Raider PS4 on the mobile store it has it for the discounted price. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ike Posted December 28, 2014 Share Posted December 28, 2014 Any alternative ways to verify my email? I'm not getting the verification email. Added my Japanese PSN no problem though... Also do I want my UK PSN to be the primary PS4 or can both be? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rowan Posted December 28, 2014 Share Posted December 28, 2014 Contemplated getting out the PS3 and buying South Park after hearing about it on a GOTY podcast. So I check the psn price...£50! Think it's £15 on disc but by the time it arrives I'll probably be back to work. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Choze Posted December 29, 2014 Share Posted December 29, 2014 I don't agree with it but it does make business sense. How? Quite curious given their business practices got them ruined not long ago. Once people find the real rpices they will not be happy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hero-of-Time Posted December 29, 2014 Share Posted December 29, 2014 How? Quite curious given their business practices got them ruined not long ago. Once people find the real rpices they will not be happy. As I said, people have new machines and want accessories. Price is clearly not an issue with the general public. GAME charge a huge amount for their games compared to the supermarkets and online retailers, yet this doesn't stop people from going in and buying from them. Besides, they do this kind of thing every year and it clearly works, otherwise they wouldn't bother to do it in the first place. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Congrats about reaching next gen PSN Id is on the left otherwise I will try to remember to add you tomorrow. I joined next gen with Wii U? Oh wait... Nah I have a One too! So I've been next genning a while! The PS4 was a massively unexpected Christmas gift off my sisters (and massively generous) and in white too! So matches my One and Wii U. I will add you too if you don't add me before! I'm Aneres11 btw. Standard. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Choze Posted December 30, 2014 Share Posted December 30, 2014 (edited) http://bf4stats.com/ You can tell the PS4 is struggling user wise. Its online but many people not getting through. edit: All 4 consoles (Ps3, PS4, both xbox) are lower than they should be. Love how fast it all is. Definitely streets ahead of PS3 which was painful at times.Now to start doing stuff on it. Yeah speed is awesome. UI is very good. Hardware wise its fantastic all round. Circles around the bone and U. No batteries, extra wires, external hdd etc. Easiest system to live with. Edited December 30, 2014 by Choze Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ike Posted December 30, 2014 Share Posted December 30, 2014 So been playing Tomb Raider and this pops up in the middle of gameplay: Thanks a lot next next-gen, way too take the player out of the game. :/ It's the download version as well, why wasn't the whole game installed?

James Posted December 30, 2014 Share Posted December 30, 2014 Because it installs a small amount of the game so you can play it while it installed the rest Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tales Posted December 30, 2014 Share Posted December 30, 2014 Maybe your download speed couldn't keep up with your progress in the game? I don't have that many PS4 games but that hasn't happened to me yet, but they are all disc games. GTAV needed a full install though if iirc.

Ike Posted December 30, 2014 Share Posted December 30, 2014 Ah. My PS4 wasn't connected to the network. I thought it had fully downloaded/installed already though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
