In the latest episode of the United Hour Podcast, Nik @Rood and Imran @Annihilate Now! start with the good news by celebrating Manchester United Women's emphatic FA Cup win over Spurs at Wembley and the future of manager Marc Skinner.
Then it's the bad news and the ever worsening form of our Men with losses to Arsenal and Palace.
Finally the main debate - ETH Out now or keep him until the end of the season - if not longer. Are you Team Nik or Team Imran?
Yea I think I'm banning myself from the store. I nearly always end up opening the wallet... PvZ on sale there for the guy that asked about kids coop games. Me and my 10 year old daughter are playing the splitscreen mode and it's fun.I'm already saying that now
Yea forgot about PvZ that's a good shout
I reckon Playstation customer service is just about the worst experience I've ever had in my life. Absolutely criminally bad.
Continue...
Yeah, I bet money there'll be a first party game announced there.
It's on EA Access mate.
Been trying to think which studios might be the most likely, I remember reading they might show some stuff that is perhaps a bit early to be showing. Guerrilla's new IP? Bend Studio's are meant to be doing a PS4 title too, probably way too early for Santa Monica Studios new stuff though.
Dunno, looking forward to it though.
Ridiculous call wait times (have had the misfortune of ringing them 3 times in the past month and have waited 30 minutes+ each time) disinterested employers who either wont (or most likely can't) do anything for you.
In frustration I rang GAME who I bought the console from and they were both more helpful and (ridiculously) more knowledgeable about the product. And on the plus side if the trouble shooting GAME offered isn't enough to fix the issue they will give me a reference number to go into store in town and pick up a replacement today rather than having to wait 4+ weeks to send it back via Sony.
What's your issue?
The console constantly freezes and then makes like a short buzzing sound and crashes. I'm almost certain its a hardware fault (I think its overheating, but I don't game for massive periods at a time and it doesn't seem to be caused by anything in particular) but Sony gave me very short thrift whereas GAME at least gave me things to try on the software side and then have offered to replace it if it doesn't solve it.
Is your fan actually quite audible? If its overheating I'd imagine it's either really loud trying to fight it or just dead silent because it ain't working.I guess GAME's advice would be something like boot it into safe mode, rebuild the database, turn off and unplug the power from the back for atleast 5 minutes and try again.
The one reason I got my console from GAME was because of their customer care, I had a PS3 bluray drive fail out of warranty and they still replaced the console for free, why I went with them for the PS4 too..........shame their games are overpriced.
I can't say I've ever heard the fan and I certainly didn't hear it last night so I suspect you're either on to something or I'm wrong and its nothing to do with overheating.
That was what they told me to try, as well as initialising the system if that didn't work (although they said that would wipe the data which is lame but I guess its gone if I get a new console anyway), I don't know why I didn't just ring them first but for some reason thought they would be useless.
The PS4 fan ranges in build quality I reckon, some people say they don't hear it and others have a very audible fan when its a higher temp, mines inbetween and varies from game to game. It's worth trying the steps though, I had the issue where it would randomly spit the disc out now and again, I was convinced it was a disc drive failing but those steps cleared it up.
Yeah I've rebuilt the database and the problem hasn't happened yet. Then again its the first time I've played on the console today, so if it is an overheating issue you suspect it wouldn't be happening yet either.
Stress test it like hell I say, put a game on and just play it or leave it for a few hours, if GAME are offering a replacement I'd want to be sure its fixed.
Yeah thats exactly what I'm planning on doing. I've got all day free and the PS4 isn't being turned off until I go to bed.
Weaste used to stress test his PS3 by making it play GT5 replays for days at a time 
Yea was agreeing with afro that it would be a good game for kids to play co op. I've had it for ages.
Ah wasn't sure if you had it/knew it was on there. Thought you might go and get it for PS4.
It's a good game for those who haven't played it.

Ah, didn't know that. Does this mean it's unlikely we will see it any time soon?Activision currently hold the rights to Crash unfortunatley
Definitely that is a great deal. Especially if you never played GTA5 before, but even if you did, you would struggle to find better than that I would think.
Just bought one on an impulse. Got it from Argos with GTA 5 and Far Cry 4 for £359.99
Is it just me or is the battery life on the controller fecking shite?
Is there any way to turn the light off?

You can dim it, hold the playstation button and go to adjust devices.
Muchas Gracias.
Doing the same on Friday. Might sell Far Cry and get FIFA though, not sure yet.
Really enjoying Far Cry, but then again I loved 3 and it's pretty much more of the same. GTA looks stunning.
I'm trading in a dozen or so PS3 games so going to grab Fifa and maybe COD.
I've noticed that. Fully charged it, played Far Cry for an hour or so and only had one bar left.
Left analogue stick keeps aiming down for some reason (not physically but the player always moved down on FIFA). Anyone faced a similar problem? Any quick fix for it?
Dimming definitely helps, but honestly it's still shite.
Get PES, FIFA is crap.
Well it could be better that's for sure but I can play over 10 hours on mine so i dont see the problem..
Mine is similar. I've only ever had the low battery warning come up once, and that was after playing basically the whole day.
I do leave the ps4 in rest mode (3 hrs I think) with the controlled attached when it isn't in use.
I put mine into off mode after 5 min of standing... But that's it..
Can't cope without the real names and stuff though.
You only need to change names of 19 English teams. It's a superior game unless you want to cope with 6-4 scorelines in every game. If anything get FIFA14, it's much better (still deals with 8-6 games). Presentation in FIFA is spectacular though, it's not a bad game, it's just that PES resembles football more.
'kinnel you've changed your tune... I'm deffo getting PES this year.
I have. Aside from the visual aspect and possibly shooting from certain ranges PES beats FIFA this year. They've actually made a step backwards in this FIFA in some areas, especially the pace of the game. I used to love grinding out 1-0 and 2-0 wins.
For years I was always firmly in the PES camp, but I unfortunately everyone I know plays fifa so that influenced my decision. I did consider PES today when I grabbed fifa but it usually drops in price quite quickly so I might grab it in New year.
