Topic: I found my dusty PS4, now what

In a dusty cupboard I found my PS4, its been a couple of years though and the email it is registered to no longer works.

Thanks Plusnet you bunch of Turd-herders.

There isn't an online password reset without that email address so I am looking for any other routes, maybe even speak to a real person about a reset, I have transaction history to authenticate if required.

However, there are messages about PS4 services being thinned out and I want to do the right thing

1 ) get my PS4 linked to my active email
2 ) Buy a PS5
3 ) Wait for a PS6 and start all over
4 ) Just buy an X-box and hurl the PS4 in the box with the red-light PS3's
6) Start going outside more often

It should be quite easy to set up a new account linked to your current email, though I'm not sure whether you would lose access to your previously purchased games or not I would think you would definitely lose all trophy progress but hey - new year, new start maybe?

If you need to change your previous account t to your new email you may have to get in touch with Sony helpline or online help. There must be a solution as you won't be the first person to have this issue but the helpline would certainly know more than I do.

PS5s were going fairly cheap in recent sales so you could do a factory reset on your PS4 and sell it trade in to put towards the cost of a new machine.A PS5 would give you access to a world of games from current and previous generation with loads available at budget prices nowadays. I wouldn't advise waiting for PS6 as who knows when that will be out of what the cost may be.

I very much would not recommend getting an XBox because... ewww.

You probably should go outside more often. But then so should I do there's that.

Hope you resolve your situation as painlessly as possible.

Hi Dan,

Thanks for the reply.
My kids wanted to buy add-ons for the games already purchased, cannot remember which ones but they used the VR headset.

I used to play COD on the PS3, happy times in the start lobby Heckling players as my favourite was to sneak up on players and shoot them in the back.
"Dude if you keep running away, Im gonna keep shooting you in the butt"
Happy times

Two of the the PS3's died with the red-light of doom and I tried it on the PS4 but lost interest when I couldn't configure the controller for the same layout.
Something about Yoke-invert had vanished so I left the PS4 to the children.

If PS4 is going to lose server access it probably isn't worth selling.
