Pieter1 Posted June 30, 2020 Posted June 30, 2020 Howzit guys?Two questions wrt PS4 1) I download all my games but storage becoming an issue and I don’t really want to delete games. Is there an external kind of hard drive where I can copy full games to and play from it? 2) Can I/ Should I use a pc screen instead of a T.V? I don’t have a T.V license and I don’t really want to get one because we not going to be in SA for long.

Works like magic. 2) Yes you can. Does your screen have an HDMI input? Pieter1 1

I figure the ps serves as our media centre so I don’t need a smart tv?

PS4 as a media centre is cool if you run something like Netflix or for external media Plex

If you going to use it as a TV.. get a TV, looking at prices R2k Pc monitor is About 24 inch vs R2k TV been about 32 Inch, you get way more real estate for your money with TV's and if I'm reading it correctly more than 1 of you, having a bigger screen means you can be more comfortable. and adding a few rands for a licence you pay for once.. not a biggie.

But T.V it is then. Thanks guys. Tuxstir 1
DR ◣◢ Posted June 30, 2020 Posted June 30, 2020 Just make sure that R2k 32” is 1080p minimum. Pieter1 and Tuxstir 2
Man with no name Posted July 1, 2020 Posted July 1, 2020 Anyone playing COD Warzone? It's free but the DL is huge. With BFV revoking it's SA servers we moved across to it. Having a lot of fun and it's busy enough to find a game.Love the season 4 remastered with new maps and 200 pax BR in Warzone. My favorite remains Plunder/ Blood Money

I have a 1Tb which I have reformatted to FAT32 and it's USB 3, yet I still can't get it to work on my PS4. I've given up and just delete games I'm not playing at the moment.

My favorite remains Plunder/ Blood MoneyI'm really enjoying it and even have a few wins in Battle Royale to my name, which makes me oddly proud Not so happy they have nerfed the MP5 but with my general lack of skills a nerfed weapon is the least of my worries...

Got a couple of team wins in Plunder wih my son and Psycho. Multiplayer is for warm up and amateurs, esp Shipment is a butcher’s den
Fruity Posted July 2, 2020 Posted July 2, 2020 Considering getting another console, although this time I'll buy 2nd hand.Do you peeps reckon R2000 for a PS3 and 4 games is a good price?
