I got 2 books of beer receipes (one is all clone receipes), Marrakech boardgame (looks fun), the doctor's wife book (looks brilliant), work clothes, and 2 netrunner expansions.

PS4 plus GTA5.

The uncharted stuff is getting good reviews , but Last of us is the current Beex 'game of forever'

Other thing to consider is that if you were buying these separately Uncharted collection can be picked up for around £35 (since its just out) - you can get the US digital version of TLOU for between about £5 and £10

So the correct answer is probably PS4 + whatever you want - the key part is 'PS4'

If your looking for some stuff bundled in then

http://www.hotukdeals.com/deals/ps4-500 ... ed-2297219

Would get you Batman / Fifa and 2 controllers for ~300 (the power supply for the Ps4 is just a normal 'figure of 8' plug so theres no issue picking up one from Europe if you can get the right deal)

For God's sake get GTA5. Bezzie gaming at its best.

There's just been a big price drop on the PS4 in the states, so expect something similar here soon. Down $50 and includes a game I believe.

I do have GTA V and played the shit out of it on the PS3, including online with Bezzies.

If you've not played with the Grim... and Riles Dream Team, you've not played it.

[edit]Did the PS3 version even have heists?

Can't say I've seen you guys playing it a lot online. I'd be more compelled to double-dip if you actually did.

Is GTAV good for onlining then? I've played the crap out of it on 360 in single player, and am bored of it.

I'm not at my PC and I don't know my password so I'm borrowing the kid's account.

Anyway, GTA5 is amazing online. It's a brilliant playground for all sorts of shit. Sessions usually begin with "let's cruise to the beach and pick up chicks" and end in a ten-minute shoot-out with police helicopters because someone pressed the wrong button, and you can hardly breathe from laughing.

Zaphod - the Uncharted collection one I saw on amazon was 329 but was 1tb rather than 500gb - how much HD space does one need for a PS4?

I'd pick a PS4 as I do my women: the larger storage space the better.

So it depends what your doing - the standard 500 gig will be fine to have 10 or so 'big' games installed and instantly available but the PS4 uses a standard drive and its one you can just replace.

If you are looking at space i'd still buy the 500GB one and then buy a 2TB one to swap in (which is what i've done) - Argos typically have an external 2TB seagate that swaps in really easily for about £60

The whole process for swapping out the drive is easy (slide the top cover off - unscrew 1 screw that holds the drive in and then swap the drive)

So my advise would be to buy the 500GB - use it - and if you decide you need more buy an external drive to put in instead

Online? I stopped playing it before the heists got added, but I believe so.

Like I say, if I see you guys playing it semi-regularly then I'll consider buying it. No point otherwise as I've 100%'d the single player and played up to level 70 online already.

Hmm.

Next question - do PS4 controllers come with charging cables, or do I have to buy those separately?

They come with one - and they are standard 'microusb' cables (so probably the same one for your phone) - Its one of the very positive things that Sony have done - they are switching away from 'custom' cables to standard (the newer version of the PS Vita uses a micro usb cable for charging instead of the custom one they used to have)

1Password knows my passwords. I just know the password that lets me get into it.

It wasn't installed at the computer I was sat at though, and I couldn't be bothered to install it.

I suppose I could have looked on passwords.google.com, but I didn't think of that. I don't think it's there anyway.

PS4 with Uncharted collection will be with me tomorrow. Then I will be downloaderising the Star Wars beta.

I don't trust ANYONE/THING/APP with my passwords except my own grey matter. If it's written down somewhere or stored in an app, some sneaky bastard will find a way of cracking it or preventing my own access to it, thus holding me to ransom.

All your passwords are stored somewhere, or they wouldn't be much good.
