Shorty Posted September 3, 2015 Posted September 3, 2015 Interesting...how much would all the DLC cost otherwise? Just wondering whether a second-hand+DLC would save a few quid.Also does the PS4 install all games to the hard drive? I'll still get a 500GB model and looked to upgrade myself, just wondering how fast I might end up running out of space. The PS4 installs like 95% of games to the HDD, and you want it to because the optical drive is the system's weak link in terms of speed. You will probably run out of space eventually, especially if you make a lot of videos... but you can upgrade to a laptop sized drive. I upgraded to 2TB for £60 about 8 months into owning my system. I reckon you would love Destiny, raiding, PvPing and party chatting with the clan There's a very long demo available on the PSN store.

Yeah a few different people I know have mentioned it over the last month or two - the social aspect of it is definitely a draw as it sounds like just the thing I'd enjoy and keep me playing. I don't think I can wait to hear about my money and I might just order the thing tonight along with some Plus - make do with the games from there and maybe pick up WatchDogs as it's apparently only a tenner in CEX. I'll get The Witcher later(sorry FLink). Gonna have a scout for best deals now... EDIT:£300 for a white from Argos with 2 of: Minecraft, TLOU, DriveClub, TheOrder, GodOfWar3, LBP3 or HellDivers Super Earth... vs £280 for a Black with 2 of: GodOfWar3, The Order, LBP3 or Minecraft... Edited September 3, 2015 by Rummy
Hero-of-Time Posted September 3, 2015 Posted September 3, 2015 Gonna have a scout for best deals now... £299 at Argos at the moment. You can get it with MGSV or pick 2 games from a selection which include The Last of Us and The Order 1886. Shopto has the same Metal Gear deal but you also get 3 months of Plus with it. GAME have a bundle with The Last of Us and God of War 3 for £299 or with Until Dawn for the same price. EDIT: You beat me.

EDIT: You beat me. Heh, I was just looking at it! I'm super tempted by Argos as it means I can get it sooner and a white one too(just to be a bit different). Think I'll get TLOU but not sure what to pick for my second, might go for whatever trades best at CEX. I'll buy a year's worth of plus from wherever's cheapest online.

Out of the ones on offer I would go with either The Order 1886 ( great single player game that shows of the graphics of the PS4 ) or Drive Club if you enjoy racers. Drive Club will keep you going for ages as the amount of content ( both free and paid DLC ) is staggering. EDIT: Wait @Rummy I forgot TLOU was in the bundle. Yeah, go with that if you haven't played it already.
Shorty Posted September 3, 2015 Posted September 3, 2015 Dan Dare's got the white one, it looks purdy, especially the controller. I'm adding you on PSN right now in anticipation Get Bloodborne too. Or borrow it off @Zell :p

Yeah, go with that if you haven't played it already. I'm gonna go for TLOU and God of War - which I'll trade at CEX for £21 credit and get Watchdogs for a tenner of that in the interim I think. Trying to get my work done then I might knock off early to go down the shops...!
Daft Posted September 3, 2015 Posted September 3, 2015 Do yourself a favour and don't get Watch Dogs. Get Infamous instead or something. Also, added you on PSN.
Rummy Posted September 3, 2015 Posted September 3, 2015 Do yourself a favour and don't get Watch Dogs. Get Infamous instead or something. Also, added you on PSN. Surely can't go too wrong for a tenner? Plus I'm pretty keen to check it out given Flink's enjoyment...I can pick up other stuff later on! EDIT:FFS. All my local stores are missing at least one item from the bundles. One store said it had everything but suddenly it doesn't
Daft Posted September 3, 2015 Posted September 3, 2015 I'm certain there are better options for £10. I would say Killzone Shadow Fall is a better game. You should ask @Fierce_LiNk if he'd let you Share Play it.
nekunando Posted September 3, 2015 Posted September 3, 2015 There's now a few games on PS4 I wouldn't mind playing alongside my wife, including Until Dawn and The Order 1886, that mean the console is starting to shift onto my radar once again The ability to play on a seperate TV via PlayStation TV is also a good selling point for me. I also quite miss playing the latest football games as I know I'm not going to be getting the full experience on PS3 any more and I've been a little envious at times of the team of you that gather to play FIFA on Monday evenings as I'd probably really enjoy that. Unfortunately, I think the asking price is too much for me at this stage and by the time it reached something a little more palatable, my attention may have shifted towards the announcement of the NX, whatever that turns out to be
Cookyman Posted September 3, 2015 Posted September 3, 2015 Also what recommendations would anyone make for a not terrible but sub-£20 headset? I have a turtle beach P4C and they are under £20 and work well!
Eenuh Posted September 3, 2015 Posted September 3, 2015 You will enjoy it Rummy. What game(s) did you go with in the end? Also, we get our PS Plus from CDkeys. If you like their FaceBook page, you get a further 5% off I think. Plus it is a download code so you get it straight away.
Hero-of-Time Posted September 3, 2015 Posted September 3, 2015 Watch Rummy be trolling us as he pulls out a Xbox One from the bag.
Mr-Paul Posted September 3, 2015 Posted September 3, 2015 Me too - but I must be sensible with my money! Will join the club later this year...

Well Argos didn't seem to have God of War and I didn't fancy the others, but then I found GAME nearby doing the same - £300 for system, TLOU and God of War. I traded God of War in straight away at CEX, so have £21 store credit to use there. Argos had a year's PS+ for £35 though so I picked that up and I've just set all the freebies for this month to download! As much as I hate GAME and didn't want to go there I have realised there's the advantage in the points - so should have just over a tenner to use as of tomorrow(if I can ever figure out their bloody phone app thingy). Didn't realise how...earpiecey the earpiece was going to be. Thought it'd be a proper headset dealie - but good to see it's a 3.5mm I can use the one I use for my WiiU(alol, read as Skype) as backup if I need.

Fierce_LiNk Posted September 3, 2015 Posted September 3, 2015 Yeeeeeeeeessss! Seriously, made my day. See you online, brah. Get The Witcher, cunt. I'm certain there are better options for £10. I would say Killzone Shadow Fall is a better game. You should ask @Fierce_LiNk if he'd let you Share Play it. I'd be willing to do that..but...for the whole game? That's a LOT of share play.
Daft Posted September 3, 2015 Posted September 3, 2015 Ha! I meant just to give it a go. Congrats @Rummy Welcome to the club!
Shorty Posted September 3, 2015 Posted September 3, 2015 If you have money to spare get this. It's amazing. Seconded, although it's usually £10 cheaper than that. What I would suggest to @Rummy is don't buy a £20 one, because the one drahkon linked is awesome, the one that comes with the system is passable, you don't want to spend money in the interim on something below average. PS. really you should just save your money and pre-order Destiny: The Taken King. Because when it launches is going to be literally the best time to play it. It will be so busy, so much to do, so many N-E people online Get other games at Christmas :p
Rummy Posted September 4, 2015 Posted September 4, 2015 If you have money to spare get this. It's amazing. Not got that much to spare! I'm using some crappy one I bought for the Wii U - seems to get the job done. The one that came with the PS4 isn't great, it doesn't fit grandly in my ear but I'll make do with my other one for now. Did a bit of party chatting and even tested a bit of share play when I was potentially stuck in Teslagrad last night(I quickly became unstuck, then forgot Marcamillian was still watching me). Get The Witcher, cunt. Ha! I will, I will but I'm going to try and be good in terms of playing games/backlog so I'm gonna play some other bits first(such as TLoU and maybe Watchdogs...despite Daft's protestations :p) then look to pick it up, maybe getting it cheaper in the process. I'd be willing to do that..but...for the whole game? That's a LOT of share play. ORly? I may take you up on it depending on this morning's trip to the shops... PS. really you should just save your money and pre-order Destiny: The Taken King. Because when it launches is going to be literally the best time to play it. It will be so busy, so much to do, so many N-E people online Get other games at Christmas :p Yeah I think I will! Can't wait to break it to my friends' other halves tomorrow that I may be joining the Destiny crew - they don't even know I have a PS4 yet! (and my friends are sad about losing their men to it :P) I'm slightly sad in realising my friend in japan doesn't have one as I thought she did and it'd be cool to catch up in the brief hour we're probably both online, but I'm still excited too! Played a lot of Teslagrad last night, then tried the other PS+ games too. One's a sort of basic metroidy clone, not great but with the tried and tested formula it hooked me for a bit.
