6 Accessories that your PS4 probably needs



If you're wondering to yourself just how gaming can get any better than the current PS4 experience, the good news is that Sony's latest entertainment system is still in its infancy.

Even better news is that you can add the following accessories to your machine now without having to wait on any further console updates.


PDP Afterglow Kral headset




For those of you looking for a combination of sound quality and style in your gaming headphones, this headset will satisfy. The PDP Afterglow Kral features a retractable noise-cancelling microphone with audio monitoring technology, an extremely comfortable set of cushioned ear pads and 100 ft of wireless technology. This can be used on PS4, PC and mobile devices too.

The retro package





Whether or not you were lucky enough to acquire one of the 12,300 Anniversary PS4s released in December should have no baring on your decision to buy these beautiful anniversary accessories.

If one is willing to fork out, then one will be aesthetically pleased with the classic Grey Dual Shock 4 (£42.00) and wireless headset (£66.00) - the perfect sprinkling of nostalgia to add to your gaming experience.

Thrustmaster VG T300RS Racing Wheel



This version of the Thrustmaster is the best PS4 racing wheel available to date. Take DriveClub for a spin behind this wheel, and you will never want to try another racing game without it again! 

Costly at £260.00, but certainly a great a investment for the petrol head gamers of this world.

Elgato Game Capture HD60

Savor your finest moments, from a world class FIFA goal to a COD kill worthy of a national call-up. The Elgato Hame Capture HD60 will capture your most impressive achievements, allowing you to live stream them via Twitch, and directly upload them to Youtube, Twitter or Facebook. The device records in 1080p HD at 60FPS - priced at around £120.00.

Gioteck RC1 Soundsystem/ Gaming Beanbag


A true gamer deserves a true throne to game from, or in this case, beanbag.

The comfort, and relatively ease of storage and transport make it a superior place to park your backside over most gaming chairs. It also has a built in sound system, with audio control panel that allows for further input/ output jacks.

This ranks at the lower end of the gamer chair market price, available for around £45.00.

The Playstation 4 camera


Rather annoyingly, this does not come packaged with the PS4 already. But without the Playstation 4 Camera, you are missing out on a whole host of games and interactive fun, so it is a purchase that should probably be made at some point.

With the camera you can also broadcast your game playing prowess live on Twitch to anyone that might care to watch it.

The accessories listed here are all fairly practical and not so revolutionary, but without a doubt they will enhance your game playing experience in one way or another.
