Re: PlayStation 4 Discussion

Damn man. I'd definitely get Vue and ditch time warner if they just had the channel the Indians play on.

Do the Indians play on Fox Sports? Just asking cuz I have Vue and dont have FS Wisconsin at the moment... But I am able to watch Brewers games thru Fox Sports Go app or whatever it's called.

Re: PlayStation 4 Discussion

Question??
Sleep mode or power off?

I have quite a few power surges a year , so should I leave it sleep mode?

Also how many guys are doing physical or digital?

Thx

Get a good surge protector, which you probably already have, and then use sleep mode. Having it power off is not going to protect it from a surge any more than it being in sleep mode.

I'm about 90-95% digital. Definitely much better way to go IMO. Once you get used to just exiting a game, going to the dashboard and starting another without getting up, you will never want to use physical media.

The only media I have are rentals and games where I get an incredibly good deal used or on sale at Best Buy.

Re: PlayStation 4 Discussion

All of the sudden , I'm guessing with the last update, but I just noticed this week, when I select the HDMI input that my PS4 is connected to, it now turns the console on, before I turned it on with my controller. Anyone else have this happening? My TV got a recent software update as well so maybe that's why?

That's CEC, it must not have been working correctly on your TV before or it is something your tv got added in your recent update.

Agreed, plus I'm all Digital on my Xbox one s, I want to go this route the PS4 also. I just don't wanna ever have to go through any of my systems having a disc read error, so that a huge benefit of all digital.

Also, I know the system supports external drive now, but I think I wanna just upgrade the internal drive since we can. Makes more sense. So My next question, how guys have upgraded there internal drives and how big?

I've upgraded 4 different PS4s by now and they're very easy to upgrade. The longest and most time consuming aspect is backing up what you have but if you're new to the PS4 that won't be an issue.

The way the PS4 does the backup and restore is awesome though btw, it's a system mirror, which means it doesn't just back up your saves, it backs up EVERYTHING which includes all your settings, your saves, your apps, the way things are arranged, I mean EVERYTHING. So when you're done and boot up on the new drive it looks and feels exactly like it did before you did the upgrade, which is the way, in my opinion, all upgrades should work.

What I did when I did my PS4 Pro was I bought an external 2TB Seagate and then opened the external up, removed the drive, put it in the PS4 Pro, then once I verified everything was working I put the old drive in the external enclosure and had it to use however I wanted (I ended up putting it on the Xbox One ironically LOL).

This is one like I mean:

Be aware though that by opening up the drive you void the warranty but the reason for doing it that way is that you can sometimes get an external for cheaper but either way you end up with a nice enclosure to use for the old drive. I've done all of mine except one like that without any issue.

Oh I know how to do it, I did own a PS4 before, I'm just saying I didn't understand the hype fpr the external drive support when you could just put a bigger drive in the system from the get go. I may go with a 3tb internal if the price is right.

Hey Odogg, what sure protector do you recommend?

Oh ok, I see what you mean. Well I think the hype is a lot of people are just afraid to open up their PS4 and get down in there really. That and the fact that you can easily take your games with you I guess (although not sure if that really works on the PS4 like it does on the Xbox One).

This $59 surge protector / battery backup below is the one I'm using on my PC. It has worked really well. I use one similar to it on my PS4. If you use the battery backup for the PS4 if the power goes out and comes back on real quick, which is what typically happens, you won't have your PS4 get zapped. I've had a computer ruined due to that and my dad lost his AC to that so that's a real boon I think.

PS4 supports external drives now. No reason to upgrade the internal anymore.

Yah he said he knew that, probably just doesn't want to have an external drive hooked up for aesthetic and losing a USB port
