Old ps4 and vita packed up and ready for trade in!

After spending $3500 on upgrades for my mountain bike this year I'm sticking with my 1080p tv.

First thing out of box HDD replaced with SSHD,the one that i installed to my og PS4.Formatted,now restoring backup from external hdd and it's slow AF.

I wish in a year where people want to go Mars we can just install one PS4's HDD to another with just some minor pasword entering kind of effort.

Just went to sell my old PS4 and it's come up as stolen in the database CEX uses. So weird since it's a launch weekend Knack bundle PS4 I bought. Guess I'll have to try and call Sony as I wouldn't want to sell it privately either if it is flagged.
 
Awww fuck, my postal office is delivering mine. I live in a town of 600 and I'm not even in the town. The post office lady just drives a jeep with a little light on top and fuckin whips it. At least I know exactly what time it's coming!

Ratchet and Clank looks insane. Just completely incredible. So clean and crisp I love it



Yeah. It's really breathtaking. Showcase game for sure.

Titanfall 2 is god damn gorgeous


Was surprised, didn't think this game would look as crisp as it did. Looks pretty great. (Only played the gauntlet so far)


Really pleased with the Pro so far. Looking forward to trying out more titles when they finish downloading.

Sounds like a CeX issue rather than an issue with your console if it is indeed not stolen.

Just take it to another store and trade it in there.

11 hour to backup 1.8TB... :/
Why is this so slow with USB 3.0?

It's about 10% done and I realised I could have just uninstalled some games that were disc based.

lol. I did just that, but still it took 11 hours to transfer 880GB b/c the clock went up instead of down while transferring!

restoring the back up in the pro is pretty fast, only 3-4 hours >>..

Jeez..... I'm going to clear my games out before backing up. Should only have around 500GB or so.

I'm pretty sure Game uses the same database too.

Only thing I can think of is that I was refreshing Argos listings that weekend as I didn't have a present order to grab a return or expired reservation and managed to get it. If it came off the back of a lorry and they convinced Argos to take it as a return without receipt if it's not just a mistake.

85 minutes to restore a backup of 340GB. Quicker than I expected!

Console turned up, swapped HDD over, plugged it all up and installed system software from USB. Got in to the XMB and selected restore from back (which I did last night on my OG PS4).

All going well so far.

Will use this spare hour to get afew bits done around the house and setup my OG in another room so I have all afternoon and evening to hammer some gaming time on the Pro!

Don't know what to try first, with the Pro updates I have COD IW, MW Remaster, Dishonored 2, The Last of Us, Infamous First Light and Black Ops 3. Still unsure if Battlefield One has an update or not although improvements have been seen according to the specific thread on this.

They should have made the PS logo light up in different colours that you can choose from or disable. Would make it look slightly less bland looking for people who want it to stand out slightly more.

Hype Train conductor. Works harder than it steams.
How long would 112GB take to console transfer?
I got it backupped too but I want the fastest route lol
