There are some great games out there for the PlayStation VR headset, and you can pick up a headset for significantly less than either the Vive or the Rift. Once you've got your headset, it's all very easy to connect and go. One thing that's worth noting is that in order to get the full experience you will need a camera and move controllers.
If you want to pick them all up for the best price, check out the link below. Did you know you can turn on your TV when you power up your PS4? It's a pretty nifty little feature, but is still not widely known about as not all TVs support it and it requires a bit of fiddling in Settings menus. On the PS4 it's known as Device Link. Most Smart TVs will support the feature, which essentially tethers your TV and PS4 together and slaves actions such as powering on between both devices.
And voila! It will even change the TV to the right input, so if you're watching TV then power up the PS4, it will automatically switch over to the right channel. Device link also works on an additional level — if you have your TV hooked up to a smart speaker system and you ask it to turn your TV and switch to your PS4 input channel, this will turn your PS4 on automatically.
It's the circle of smart linking. If you happen to also have a PS Vita , do we have some good news for you. Sony may not be focussing much energy on making portable games at the moment, but luckily there are some great things that the Vita can do in collaboration with your PS4. First up is remote play.
Whether someone else wants the TV or you just fancy playing 8th-gen games in the bath, the capability to stream to the PlayStation Vita is a slick process that just requires you to have both devices signed into the same PSN ID.
You can connect directly to the PS4 or via your wireless network if you are too far away from the console itself. Make sure that 'enable turning on PS4 from network' is selected in your power save settings and you'll be able to turn on the PS4 remotely from the Vita. You can also use the Vita as a second controller, so if you've only invested in the one Dualshock controller and want to get your two-player Lego Marvel on, you can do it with your Vita.
Just connect the Vita, and it will automatically disconnect your controller. Have the second player press the PS button, sign in as another user or guest and you're good to go. Sharing is caring and everyone definitely wants to see your gaming prowess. You can take a simple screenshot, you can record and upload video to share with your friends or post to Twitter and Facebook, and you can even livestream to YouTube, Twitch and DailyMotion. The standard setup is that a single press of the button will bring up the Share Menu, a longer press will take a screenshot, and a double press will start recording a video.
You can upload the video as-is, or you can use Share Factory to edit the video before upload. You can even add voiceovers, intro and outros, and even customize clips with themed content that you can download in the app. If streaming is what you want, there is an option in the Share Menu. Those watching the content can comment on it, and the comments will appear on screen so you are able to react as they happen.
You just have to go to 'settings' and then 'system' where there is an 'enable HDCP' box to uncheck. Just be aware of how much storage your video is taking up. Fresh games appear on the first Wednesday of the month Tuesday in North America and will be free until the first Wednesday of the following month so make sure you check in with the selection during that time. Helpfully, there is an 'add to library' option so you don't need to fill your PS4's HDD unnecessarily to get the latest titles.
Just make sure that you do add them to your library, as it's pretty easy to forget to do it and miss out on the freebies. The games will be yours as long as your subscription lasts. As well as 10GB of online cloud storage for your saves, PS Plus also gives you access to Share Play where you can let your friends try your games online without them actually owning them.
More on that in a bit. Hooking up your PS4 to Facebook is a great way of importing a profile photo and ensuring easy sharing with friends without having to make much of an effort. It also means your real name can now be revealed to the world if you accept specific requests from your PSN friends.
Plus, a Facebook settings page allows you to make sure that you aren't spamming friends with every single trophy pop, and you can easily personalise who sees what activity.
A new feature also means you can now gather your PSN friends into groups. Got a raiding crew for Destiny? Add them all to one group and you'll know where everyone is and can easily party chat with the group.
You can even personalize an avatar for the team which can be easily accessed in your friends section. If you don't have many Facebook friends that you want to play with, don't worry. Communities and Events are both available from the Home Screen and are a great way of getting communal without requiring people you know in real life.
Communities are where you can meet like-minded players who are into the same games or genres as you. Once a part of a community, you can see what others are playing, post to a community wall, and share tips and tricks for your games of choice.
Once you've downloaded the events app, you can see a range of challenges and tournaments that are running, and compete in the action. There's even the option to set your PS4 to turn on at the time of events and boot up the game to remind you to take part. Creating an Event is pretty easy too. Select 'Create Event' and you'll be able to create a personalized invitation that can be sent out to a select few of the people on your Friends List.
You can select any day or time to send it out, and those that register and accept will automatically added to a Party at the given time. You can even share these events with the wider PlayStation community, with your session being posted on the worldwide Community wall. While in rest mode — indicated by sleepy orange lighting — the PS4 is happy to download updates, games and, usefully, charge those ailing DualShocks.
Make sure that 'supply power from USB ports' is selected within your power savings settings and you shouldn't find yourself running out of juice after an hour's game time. Having your PS4 in Rest mode will also enable you to keep all of your favourite games up to date with the latest patches and improvements.
You can also set your PS4 to shut down after a set amount of time in case you're the type of person who falls asleep in front of the TV. All of these settings are available in the Power settings menu. In a revolutionary life hack, this means compatible USB phone chargers will let you charge a controller on the fly without having to stretch a cable from the console.
No more perching on the edge of the sofa with a taut cable or, even worse, sitting on the floor. Preface each statement with "PlayStation" you can tell the PS4 to take screenshots, play games by saying the game name and then "start" , go back to the home screen, select applications and power off.
Excellent recognition software even means it's possible to say different versions of a game name ie. There is a mic built into the optional PlayStation Camera but this will work equally well with the headset microphone.

Sign in to PlayStation. A Twitter user has now revealed a quick trick that will allow players to add to their owned games, but the game has divided opinion before. While some players may be excited at the prospect of a free game, others may decide to look further into the PlayStation Store's Spring sale for a game they prefer.
The PlayStation consoles are the best selling in history , and they have achieved this through exclusives and innovative technology. One game that was intended to push the PlayStation 4 to consumers with its take on the technology was the Knack series. While the franchise had a mixed reception, Knack 2 was seen to build on its predecessor and it is now available for players who do a small sign up.
It should be noted that this process does not require a PS Plus account and as a result, it is completely free.
