We just got the ten year old boy a ps4 for Christmas. It only came with one controller and fortnite. What accesories or games should I get him? I ask this of my Chiefsplanet friends because I know nothing about video games.
everything detoxing said plus a "playstation now" subscription. its playstation games from all the generations on demand. it's pretty baller. you'll probably see some retro stuff that you like too, Kurt [Reply]

Yeah those are good. Also Spyro and Banjo-Kazooie [Reply]

Or just buy one of the charging stands for like $10. I have one and it charges both of my controllers just fine. Haven’t had an issue with it since I bought it. [Reply]
Right now there are a bunch of cheap ($2-$20) but quality PS2, PS3, and PS4 games on the PS store. If you hooked the unit up and d-loaded some games for it before wrapping it back up it would be a nice surprise within a surprise. [Reply]
We have Jay's CD and Hobby here in Des Moines and they have crazy cheap games, controllers etc. They don't just have old games they have current ones as well. I've purchased a few games from there and haven't had any issues.
I'm sure that KC has a similar store (haven't lived in KC since 13, and can't remember). [Reply]

$199 PS4 on black Friday week, probablyclose to the same for Christmas week. A year in a young kids life is something you never get back, there aren't many and they go fast. Buy the damn thing. [Reply]

I'm definitely shopping around for a good headset. Think I found a good deal for a Logitech brand. Already picked up a second controller, got an actual Sony per Detoxings advice. Also, good heads up about the ps+ account, I had no idea. I know the whole reason he wants one of these things is to play online with his friends back home since they are moving out of town. He plays on his mom's xbox now, and I told him he's got no shot at the ps this year, but we got him one for 200 on black friday.
Thanks for all the help fellas. I'm gonna look into games later this week. I think fortnite is his main focus, but he loves the Lego movies, so I'm going to look into the Lego games and minecraft as well. [Reply]
