Day one essentials
Greg Lockley takes a look at some of the first and third-party accessories available for the PS4 at launch FIRST PARTY
THIRD-PARTY
DUALSHOCK 4 CONTROLLER There’s nothing better than inviting some friends over to get stuck into a multiplayer gaming session. The PS4 supports up to four DualShock 4 controllers at once, which means consumers will want to pick up a few extra. The DualShock 4 is available in black, magma red and wave blue. CentreSoft: 0121 625 3388
PLAYSTATION 4 STAND Much like its predecessors the PS4 can be stored both upright and on its side. Sony has introduced
the official PS4 stand for those consumers strapped for space in their entertainment setup. Shipping with a glossy black finish similar to the PS4, the stand keeps the console upright and secure without the need for any additional tools.
CentreSoft: 0121 625 3388
DUALSHOCK 4 CHARGING STATION Gamers with multiple controllers can now charge them all simultaneously using Sony’s official dock. Up to two gamepads can be recharged by simply inserting them into the dock, eliminating the need to clutter up the PS4 by connecting multiple wires to the system’s built-in USB ports. CentreSoft: 0121 625 3388
PS4 CAMERA
The PlayStation Camera is a new device designed for use with the PS4. Similar to the Xbox Kinect, the camera uses two high-sensitivity cameras and four microphones capable of detecting users’ movements and sounds. PS4 owners can log into the console using just facial recognition and utilise their body movements in-game. CentreSoft: 0121 625 3388

The firm has an extensive range of Sony- licensed accessories for the PS4 at launch, including the Charge Dock, Vertical Stand, DualShock 4 Thumb Grips, Charge and Play cable and Camera TV Clip and Wall Mount, which lets owners of flat TVs position their PS4 Camera above the device securely and ready for gameplay.
