I go back to setting up our ATARI 2600 for my family. Retired now, so is my PS3, and stepping up to PS4 because our great-grandson wants to share games with me. Not to proud to make sure I do things correctly. Thanks to poster of this video.
Bought the PS4 when it first came out, just opened the package today 😂

I just bought a used "Pawn Shop Special" PS4. I'm initializing (factory resetting) it.
My younger cousin was letting me have his PS4 while he's at college, but now that the Resident Evil 4 remaster is coming out, he wants his back.

Omg thank you so much, I had to unplug my PS4 because of an overheating problem, decided to unplug everything associated with it to try and make it all neat, and I freaked out over trying to make sense out of it when I went to start it up again. Thank you for getting right to the point.
1:13 literally thank you so much, that's all I needed 😭😭
Oh thank god. I accidentaly pulled my console forward a bit and one of the cables in the back came out, and i didn't know what to do with it. Thank you!
Thank you! The only thing I needed was to find the power button! Thanks
Haha! Sorry, that made me laugh.

Need some opinion here...
PS4 or XBOX ONE?
My ideology,
PS4: (+)Most of my friends own a PS4 and it would be great to play multiplayer with them
(-)Doesn't have the games which you could only play on the XB1 like Forza 6 etc. {I'm a hugs fan of racing}
XB1: (+)has all the games which not all the PS4 has...
(-)no friends whom I can play multiplayer with
also, I've heard that the PS4 is slightly better in graphics compared to the XB1 so that may even be a plus point to the PS4.
+Shake Haikel As someone who has both I very rarely find myself using the XB1. The PS4 just has a better user experience, everything is just so much smoother to me. Install times are quicker, downloads are easier to manage, and it's just more user friendly in general. And it is ever so slightly better graphics wise. Just my opinion.
DriveClub, Project Cars (disgard that actually) , Soon Gran Turismo Sport (equivalent of Forza) , Moto GP, NFS 2015, F1 2015 and Soon Asseto Corsa
That's quite a busy list there for racing alone . That's actually about the same quantity as X1 so there is no lack of numbered racing titles
+Shake Haikel
Pretty easy : PS4,.. Has Bloodborne,.. It is also a better machine overall,.. and will have support from every publisher long into generation
+Shake Haikel always buy the console ur friends use! if u buy X1 then want to play some COD or Battlefront with ur friends ur out of luck.. if u don't care about multiplayer then buy the console with ur type of exclusives!
cheers guys, got a ps4. :-)
Can you please make a video on how to set up a Whopper Jr.?

I got PS4 today and it’s a slim 1tb!! I am so grateful!
I used an HDMI adapter to accommodate the older TV, hooked up the cords accordingly, but screen only gives me quiet blips and mostly blackness.

If anyone sees this. (0:54) can i replace the ps4 controller with a ps5 controller. But js not the console?
Ye
Whenever I first start up the ps4 and press the PS button on the controller, it says "Connect device using USB, or register again" but the controller is connected with the USB.
Thank you this helps a lot no other youtubers explain!
I just got a ps4 ten years after it came out
HELP! I CAN'T PLUG IN 3 WIRES!
thank u thank u soooooo much iam literally crying after trying for 3 days....😢😢😢😥😥😘
Thanks for this! Make more content! :)
To be honest I have a PlayStation 4 and I want to say I love to system when I like about it is when they first major headphones for Playstation 4 that changed everything perfect way to watch TV
Better sound just like movie theaters sound quality for headphones perfect for high-definition
This video is very helpful and amazing but you didn’t mention about the buttons on the control like I don’t know where the “Select” button is. I’m thinking that it’s either the “Share” button or the “Options” button. Other than that thanks for this video!
Are you talking about on the controller? If so, the select button is usually the 'X' 😉 My partner was a lot younger than me and he taught me that before he died (recently). Bless him.
I hope this helped 🙏
@@loveconquersall143 they mean start and select, start is the start button, and select is pressing the touchpad.
Thanks, new to PS4, got a used cleaned model. Before I had PS3

Hey, I seem to have a problem! We got a PlayStation from a neighbour a year ago, and he set it up but we since unplugged it and we're trying to set it up again now. Our neighbour said we could use it as a DVD player, and we can't figure out how to do that.
Xbox one or PlayStation 4
King 234 PS4 for sure
King 234 Xbox one

jehad Fawzi wtf ps4 has a better controller and better internet your right on the games part
Nintendo switch it is the best trust me
