When did you read that, last year? :wink:

All 1TB PlayStation 4 bundles from (and including) the Nathan Drake bundle are C-Chassis.

Thanks OP. ordered. Now need to work out how I am going to explain this one...!

The fan runs quieter and is allegedly not required as much because it doesn't use as much power as the older(pre summer 2015) models so you're going to save 0.00001 of a Polar Bear in the Arctic if you use it continuously for the next 5 years.

The link below says it far more clearer than I ever could

Very good find

Got a 2nd metal cover too.
Diamond dogs but its empty.

Anyone?

Expired now 299.

Gone up to £299 now.

All the £34/35 deals that I can see on hukd at the moment should all be expired as all lead to pages that are selling them for £39-49.

Indeed we all game with the volume on silent so that slightly quieter fan makes the most remarkable difference imaginable, it's a game changer :smirk:

May I ask from where?

So is this PS4 the one with the quieter fan?

Turned out it was hiding in the Battlefront game case

Cheers op, will inform son :innocent:

Now need to find a 2nd controller. £45 everywhere

ordered

Took the plunge

Aw well I'm sure I'll get a fiver for it on eBay! Nice one. I wanted Battlefront so it's opened, No coupon inside the game case so I will have to check the store and see if it's automatically on it

does anyone know why the price differes on the orginal shopto site compared to on ebay?

http://www.shopto.net/video-games/ps4/PS4HW226-ps4-black-console-1tb-star-wars-battlefront

Still tempted, last console I had was a PS2 over 10 years ago.

Must keep on repeating myself that I'm too old for this :confused:

This is the best 1TB deal I've seen recently. Doubt you're going to see a 1TB with a game bundled in for anything lower than this in quite awhile.

Is it worth ordering this or waiting for better deal? Going to sell star wars anyway

Well I've had a look through the box and I didn't find the voucher either. I've left Battlefront sealed for now and asked Shopto about it on ebay. Can you let me know if it's on the store automatically? Thanks.

Yeah I was hoping to sell it on too, but it felt a little light and I did a quick search to see if the case was available separately in shrink-wrap. It was, so I had to take the plunge and open it to see if the game was inside. Glad I did or I would have had a pretty unhappy ebay buyer to deal with.

I haven't unpacked the PS4 box yet as it's a birthday present for me on Monday. But if you haven't found the 4 Star Wars game card then I'm guessing it's going to be in with bundle edition of Battlefront, so that means another shrink-wrap potentially needs removing. Maybe worth doing though as it looks like you'd get a better price selling the items separately. I'm hoping for around £50 for the 2, then I have a £10 Sainsbury's voucher coming from the 4x Nectar points and double-up event at the end of the month, £2.70ish tcb and my £3 bonus steelbook and with a bit of effort that makes it sub-£200 (or pretty close to) for the 1TB C-chassis.

*popcorn*

Haha damn. I haven't opened it as I was planning to sell it on. Did you get a coupon in the box for the 4 Star Wars games?

Anyone else get Metal Gear solid Phantom Pain "steal" book with thier delivery? :smiley:

Thanks for your heartfelt congratulations, I shall party all night long and toast our mutual contempt of Leeds because it's clearly about the only thing we have in common.

As for why would you lie, erm I don't you know from Adam so I got no idea?

Thing is seeing you went to the effort of searching, obtaining and posting a library pic of the said steelbook rather than just taking a picture of the one you 'received by mistake' from shopto today you can hardly dig me out for being a tad cynical can you?

Congratulations on getting a free maglite with your steel book, You must be thrilled. I didn't.
Why on earth would I lie about something like that

This one

Worryingly I have received no invoice with the parcel but I definitely haven't been charged any extra

You've fallen for the old hard drive manufacturer spin on drive sizes: your 2TB drive is actually 2,000,000,000,000 bytes but all operating systems report space in units of 1024x1024x1024(x1024). So the "2TB" is actually 1862GB so 1862-1770 = 92GB. Still a lot but not 231GB.

Well thank you, to me it's stating the obvious. There's no such thing as a free lunch yet everyone keeps demanding it.

All these muggy 'free to play' abortions like candy crush and Smurf village on smart phones have given people some bizarre belief video games, even triple A titles, should only cost two bob.

Nobody can predict the future of this industry but from where I'm standing it's looking bleaker for proper gamers with each passing month.

Someone speaking sense fully agree

That's Pontiac's hat-trick :confused: someone clue'd up enough to know about different PS4 models is definitely clue'd up enough to know about shopto.

Not to mention this thread is littered with pics confirming it's a 1200 C chassis, the emphasis of 'definitely' in capital letters in his/her question tends to give the game away even more but hey ho I walked straight in to it too :smile:

As I said before I am not that anti DLC when you compare prices now to say the late 80's/early 90's but I will draw the line at micro transactions.

Unfortunately everyone wants everything for nothing, this site more than most is full of self entitled stormtroopers. I've read some bod saying Bloodborne should be 15 quid brand new because there's deal for it at that price second hand :smirk: if you pay peanuts you get monkeys and the way it's going publishers will release the barest games possible and we will have to buy DLC and micro transactions to get any kind of enjoyment out of the games.

I'd rather games stayed full price for longer and even cost more at launch to avoid the route we are heading but the 'I want triple A games for a fiver' brigade will never let that happen. Hence publishers and developers will pull in the dough elsewhere, meaning dedicated gamers shell out for the demands of the five minute casuals yet again.

so is it a c-chassis?? :smile:

Is there a 1tb fallout 4 deal anywhere cheaper than this. And is Shopto a reputable retailer? And is this DEFINITELY the c-chassis?!

In that position I'd sell the 1TB plate to snatch back some of the dough I 'd laid out on the 2TB, I got about an apple for my 500 gig when I swapped mine over a couple of years ago, not much but better than nowt.

I actually put the 500 that came with my current Batman console in to the old black one after taking the 2TB out so I could sell it and got really decent dough for it funnily enough

Given most games are 40-50GB even a 1TB drive would give you space for around 15/20 games, most people would probably shift/uninstall as they go along, keeping those with strong mutiplayer focus. I'd say that the 1TB option is fine right now. I myself have the 2TB drive in my machine, but even if you do then decide to to the upgrade route, if you pick up an 2TB external USB and are careful with dis-assembly you can re-purpose the case and have a 1TB external instead.

Yeah fair point, I was sort of aware of that from when I very first got a PS4 a couple of years ago. I had forget about this seeing I fitted a 2TB plate in it from the off.

Bottom line is the PS3 came with 500 hard drives for the last couple of years of it's cycle, PS4 games are around five or six times bigger. Alas yet more than two years in to it's cycle Sony are still knocking out them out with 500 gig plates, it's clearly not nearly enough in my humble opinion.

A 500GB model has just over 400GB free as new, part of that is the 1024/1000 difference in measurements (actual drive capacity is 465GB), the rest is reserved for system use. Just the 1024/1000 issue makes a 2TB drive have an actual capacity of 1.82TB.

Erm I did mean buy this bundle, at this price it's a no brainer and get the Uncharted game separate. Then you can even sell the Battlefront on Ebay to snatch back the dough you weighed on for Nathan Drake #sorted

​Sorry meant console + game since I'm not interested in Battlefront

Any deal like this but with the Nathan Drake collection?

Thanks OP. ordered. Now need to work out how I am going to explain this one...!

The battery is pony, the rubbers on the analogue sticks are still not what they should be and all round durability I personally don't think is as good as it was on the DS3.

If I start an evening's gaming early I'm definitely on my third controller of the three I rotate by the time I hit the pit, as I said before ....... you can't ever have enough controllers

Hmm at this price I smell a PS4 slim or redesign incoming..

Good price but you are looking at £310 by the time you buy a 2nd controller which surely most people will do.

I am guessing you don't buy season passes, and yeah I know it's a divisive topic, but if you got a few of them on the go then you do need those games installed on your system for convenience whenever the new DLC drops.

Talking of that when I think what Mega Drive and SNES games was costing 25 years ago I don't feel additional DLC charges are that much of a liberty but the youngers obviously and/or those who were about but not in to gaming back then have no recollection of it.

Yep you're paying an extra apple or 30 quid on top but it's for a load more content over the coming months, the reality is the initial games now are 30 or 40 quid cheaper than say what Street Fighter 2 was a quarter of a century ago

And I'll stop reminiscing having totally wandered off topic :smirk:

Just ordered this, if you are thinking of buying then check your Nectar account first as I had an offer for 4x points that I had to click through to activate. With Sainsbury's double-up event coming at the end of the month, this will get you a £10 voucher that can be used in various departments, one of them being entertainment. No idea what Sainsbury's are currently like for video games but hoping I can find something where I can put the £10 voucher to good use:

http://www.hotukdeals.com/deals/heads-up-nectar-rewards-double-up-starts-30th-march-includes-entertainment-e-g-gaming-2403198

Agree to disagree, I personally hardly ever go back to games I've played and finished with the exception of the rare online game that keeps me coming back like BF4 did for a very long time.

Therefore aside from BF4 I only keep the games I currently play and re-install the older ones if I find a reason to go back. Usually I finish a game and resell it pretty soon after.

I would totally disagree because it means every time you fancy playing an older game in your library you need to install it again and if you bought/were given DLC for it you need to re-download that n all.

Not to mention my pic above highlights 230 gig is required just for the operating system, blimey that's nearly half of your storage on a 500 model!

I've only got about 17 games I think, if you include the free digital copy of Arkham Knight Amazon gave me when the limited edition was delayed last summer, and yet I'm just shy of 1TB already.

If this generation lasts say another 3 years I would assume to have every game I bought installed on my system would require around 5TB of storage give or take.

Also eventually PS+ will give us a couple of triple A titles and then you're looking at 30-50 gig a piece there too so I really got no idea how anyone could 'manage' their storage without a decent sized hard drive,

Sorry but it's way way too much time consuming hassle and effort involved, especially when you consider you can pick up a 2TB internal hard drive for around 60 quid and it only takes 5 or 10 minutes to fit it yourself.

How is this not hotter? Ordered

You should add that this also comes with the revamped classic star wars games

4 Star Wars Classisc (Voucher Code)
- - Super Star Wars
- - Star Wars: Racer Revenge
- - Jedi Starfighter
- - Star Wars Bounty Hunter

I hover around 3-400gb used and just delete game data on the games I no longer play except for the save files. Currently have 4 or 5 games on mine and it's plenty unless you really want to keep all the game data permanently which I feel is unnecessary when you have ample space for half a dozen or more games out of the box plus patches.

Nothing to thank me for at all mate but you welcome :smile:

Though what I said before is well worth thinking about ...... 1TB really ain't enough storage this generation, my life when new games launch so many of them are broken as fxxx nowadays, pardon my French, and 20GB plus patches to fix them are not uncommon.

I'd advise anyone to hunt about for the cheapest PS4 out there which is almost definitely going to be a 500GB model and then get a bigger hard drive separately, 2TB the bare minimum, and sticking that in there.

500GB/1TB does not even come close to what's required in this generation where some games are 60GB out of the box.



Edit: oh and you can never have enough accessories either, especially controllers :wink:

*£304.99 adding in cost of the DLC that would actually class this as a full game :neutral_face:

Ta very much

Scorching deal really

Can I ask what the C chassis brings to the table?

Just bought one for myself. No brainer

Well yeah I probably did read it last year but seeing I've owned two different PS4's in two years already because I found the original black one boring n dull I've got no need to look in to getting another one yet.

I would assume the Uncharted 4 edition console would be a 1200 C chassis seeing we've had to wait two n a half years for the first genuine platform exclusive this generation.

Had it been like a royal blue colour I might have been tempted because I got an orange faceplate waiting to go on a blue PS4 at some point but that grey sort of colour nah not for me :man:

I suppose it's down to how quickly the old units have shifted in the various regions.

I upgraded to the Batman edition PS4 last summer and to be honest I've never even checked if it's the old 1100 type or the new 1200 'C chassis' model. I'd assume it was probably still the older variety seeing it launched around the time the newer versions were just rolling off the production lines.

What my point is here is that I don't notice the sound of this supposed 'loud' fan and I don't exactly watch my eletric consumption down to milliwatts either.

If someone is so dead set on getting the newer version it's their shout but there doesn't seem to be any evidence to suggest there's any differences in reliability or performance as such. And before someone points out the 1200 runs cooler which I'm aware of all I can say both PS4's I've had never had over heating problems. In fact because we barely had 1meg speeds at that time my current silver Batman one was running non stop for a good three days re-downloading all the digital content I'd bought on the previous model on to the 2TB plate I installed with not a hint of heat issues.

Yup, it'll be a C-Chassis.

You can tell from the colour all c-chasis ones are solid matte black

I love the internet. Its full of people who think they know and then someone comes along who actually does :smiley:

When did you read that, last year? :wink:

All 1TB PlayStation 4 bundles from (and including) the Nathan Drake bundle are C-Chassis.

That's what I thought too, until I saw that 1TB Shopto PS4 post yesterday and that said it was a C chassis.

Great find. Heat from me thanks :wink:

C chassis?

..... M. N) 9

hot

nice price op, heat added :smiley:
