Mine's just arrived. Going to be a present so wondering what sort of cable to get - just a normal UK kettle to 3pin?

I have just bought this thinking it was the latest model, can anyone tell me the difference with it being the older version? Thanks in advance

Don't worry about it. The old model is just fine. We have 2 in the house. 1 is constantly used day and night for over a year now and have had no problems. The newer model is just a little bit quieter, lighter and uses less electricity.

The model on this post from the ebay seller I believe is last Septembers model (see here: http://www.psdevwiki.com/ps4/SKU_Models). The differnece made was with power usage, physical buttons on the console and teh size changed slightly.

Not sure to be honest, I would imagine all consoles for the EU region are packaged the same with multi language manuals and all the same stuff in the box / on the console with the only difference being the power cable.
Once it's plugged in I don't think we will notice any difference.

I'm not knocking the deal ..great price; but they've sold 121 in the last hour and they are hardly a huge company that would keep lots of PS4 in stock --- ..

Also as it's an eu model what is this difference between the uk and eu
I know that one difference is the plugs and manuals?

You either need an adapter or a new lead. I just ordered a lead off amazon for £4

Shame then that the Xbox One is the worse at using energy. 18 watts when is standby, vs new ps4 at 4 watts.

*Please Note: There is a 2 pin charger instead of a 3 pin. There is no difference except for the plug*

What do you mean there is no difference?
Can you plug it into a uk plug because I've bought one and now am cautious

ai, thank you
So if anything happens to it, I can still contact Sony UK. I hate those where you will have to send it to Bulgaria or and wait 6months to get it fix

My old model will save tons on electricity when it arrives, as I will switch it off at the plug. Only using it now and again as we have Xbox Ones as our main consoles.

Warranty will be in UK till the time it is in EU :smiley: No need to send it to Europe.

Just remember that Sony announced a price drop only yesterday for the ps4. As yet this hasn't filtered down to retailers getting rid of old stock they hold at higher price. Expect some better deals come November
BigVern1984
22 Oct 15#46
Consumer Reports (the US version of which?) says the new model would save users $30-50 every year in energy costs. If you're going to keep the ps4 for years the energy saving could cover the cost of the purchase.
So can other accounts on the PS4 play online if the main account have PS+ ? Or would each account need a separate PS+ subscription?

The one with FIFA 16 is still available for £225 once £50 discount is applied I think.

The Xbox one with gears of war went out of stock at about 4.10pm. I had one sitting in my basket from 2pm but didn't get the code in time. Never mind I bought one from Germany using the code it comes with a Kinect for about 216 got a pre owed assassins creed unity and overdrive for a total spend of 232.06

This gen of consoles is on the way out already! Who'd have thought that consumers demand more than 900p 30fps on medium settings!
Expect to be forced to buy a PS5 in the next 2 years.

Thanks man! Bought the 1tb one with Assassins Creed and Watch Dogs but am only interested in exclusives on the PS4 so this makes much more sense for the price difference!

Not had a console for a while and won't get loads of time to play it so I don't care about old model or new model.

Thank you, a lot of people make out there is such a difference whenever new models are announced. However the previous model was perfect before a new model comes on the scene! Thanks for the advice.

Most discount you can get is £50

You need to read with understanding - the max discount is 50 quid and this discount applies to purchases from 250 quid and above :smiley:

I know a lot of people have commented on the newer model being better and others saying there is no point upgrading. Personally I play Xbox One but wanted a PS4 for the exclusives, so I'm not too interested in which model it is. I've gone for this but added the 3 year warranty, which takes it over 250 mark, so you then get 50 quid off (if that helps any of you).I think a PS4 with 3 years warranty for 224 quid is a great deal. My mate had his laser go recently and to just replace that professionally was 70 to 90 quid, as he didn't want to do it himself for cheaper. I rent games rather than buy them so suits me down to the ground, 1tb is a bit overkill for exclusives.

As well as being the EU model it's also the old model, not new. Where did you get the code from?
Edit: Ebay just posted the code for 20% off which is CUKFLASH. Not sure how you knew it before they posted it though...
