This set is very comfortable, and works well with both audio immersion and microphone functionality. While the price of admission is fairly high, you’ll be relieved to know your ‘gold’ is being well spent.

With the shift to a largely digital game library, easy access to additional storing options is becoming increasingly important. Unfortunately for PS4 users, using an external hard drive with the system requires an advanced degree in McGyver-ing. Thankfully, Nyke has provided us with an ‘easy’ button. The Data Bank comes with easy to follow instructions for how to pry apart your PS4, install a larger hard drive and close things back up without doing harm to the system.

If you’re like me, there’s nothing more annoying than your TV telling you to stop being awesome at Bloodborne to recharge your DualShock 4 for the 19th time that week. The notoriously short charge time can be made less terrible with Nyko’s charging stations. They look amazing and are much less cumbersome than using the out-of-the-box USB cable.

Vigorous PS4 gaming can lead to a variety of unpleasant side-effects, but none more irritating than worn out analog sticks. One of the biggest knocks on the DualShock 4 is the durability (or lack thereof) of the thumb grips. These inexpensive stick covers will protect the sensitive rubber from chips, dings and tears, leaving your thumbs free to abuse them with the intensity you were born to display. They’re also compatible with most other console controllers.

If we’re going to talk PS4 headsets, it’d be a disservice not to mention the best of the best. You’ve never heard a Ferrari engine rev so ferociously, or a clicker howl more piercingly than through a pair of Turtle Beach’s magnum opus. Give your ears (and your game’s audio) the attention they deserve.

While the name is certainly a mouthful, you’d be hard-pressed to find a better PS4 arcade stick than this bad boy from Mad Catz. It just looks menacing. In a good way, of course. With Street Fighter V just around the corner (we think), there’s no better time to invest in a meaty fighting stick. The Fightstick TE2 has got the finest of buttons and joysticks with a hefty plastic base to boot. Hit the nostalgia button and bring the arcade back into your living room. Of all the cool PS4 accessories out there, this arcade stick is among the coolest.

Hold on, hold on. Hear me out. Yes, the PS4 Camera is Sony’s weak attempt to rip off an already weak product in the Microsoft Kinect, but there are plenty of cool things it can do that make it worth a look. For one, talking to your TV and have it do stuff is awesome. Also, this is a cool PS4 accessory for you if you’ve got friends across the world and want to watch them cry after a series of FIFA pummelings.

The recently released PS TV is an inexpensive alternative to buying a whole other PS4 to get gaming in more than one room. Via remote play, you can use the PS TV to connect to your PS4 and play any and all games in your library. It works best with your digital games, as you’d have to physically change out a game in your PS4 if you want to play it on your PS TV. Everybody got that? Good.

Got a headset for your PS3 that for some money-grubbing reason won’t work with your shiny new PS4? Well, rather than dragging ass over to the nearest electronic store to fist over more cash for a brand new (compatible!) headset, save some cash with this handy adaptor. True, you will have to deal with more wires and a few unsightly dongles, but it’s better than giving into the evils of capitalism when you don’t have to.

12 | PS Vita

It’s true, the PS Vita is all but a dead elephant. A lack of true first party support and vision from Sony has left this promising handheld with few compelling reasons to be a mainstay handheld in most people’s lives. However, if you do happen to own one (and love it like I do), you’re probably already well aware of its cross-play compatibility with the PS4. Playing your PS4 games on the go is a great way to maximize your Playstation experience even when you aren’t calling in sick to play Fallout 4 all day.
