And I'd love to see Sony / Microsoft / Nintendo offer an official trade-in program, where you trade in your current console and get a discount on the purchase of a next-gen console.

It makes sense for Wii -> Wii U transfer, but PS4 is not compatible with with PS3 games so trading old console doesn't make sense.

Same for Microsoft's next console in case they will ditch BC as well.

I'm talking about trading in your old console and games towards a discounted purchase of the new hardware; similar to what GameStop does, but officially through Microsoft and Sony's websites.

All indications are that the PS4 will be nowhere near sub-$400 levels, it's expected to be at least $450.

Why the **** would you even take Sony/GameStop up on such an offer, considering the PS4 doesn't run any of your digital or retail games? There's no reason whatsoever to get rid of your PS3 when the PS4 comes out without some form of backwards compatibility.

I don't think they'd do it. Knowing Sony, they still want people to be buying PS3s and their games while also buying PS4s and the games it gets. It's how they've done it every generation. Sony is probably the best of all console makers at continuing to support the previous generation hardware after the new gen has started.

Official SKU press release.

500GB hard drive without mandatory installs. Camera's not included. If I did launch hardware I'd be all over that.

"Striking" design? LOL, guess they don't want to say "Ugly, boring design".

And are they seriously styling a game name as #DRIVECLUB?

It's not an Xbone.

Will there be a wired remote for the PS4? I don't want to have 2 sensor bars on my entertainment center now :/.

Shorty McNostril · « **Reply #911 on:** June 11, 2013, 01:54:00 AM »

The PS camera is not compulsory. Unless you want to use move specifically, you won't need to worry about it.

Mannypon · « **Reply #912 on:** June 11, 2013, 02:10:26 AM »

Good, thanks for clearing that up. I thought that eye thing was there camera. I figured that was a sensor bar for their wireless remote or something. Thank god, that damn thing looked huge and I don't need any more things on my entertainment center that'll attract my cat's attention lol.

Shorty McNostril · « **Reply #913 on:** June 11, 2013, 02:14:39 AM »

That was the camera, but it is an optional accessory. (At $59 I believe.)

Apparently, PS4 is region free. (Not yet officially confirmed)

Engadget seems to confirm no region locking.

PS4 looks good mainly because Xb1 looks like such ****.

The only game that really interested me was Final Fantasy 15 and I don't really know how I feel about it leaving turn based combat behind. I like jrpgs and there just aren't many left anymore. It has no release date anyway so I'm thinking Xmas 2014 if you're lucky.

That said I also won't be picking it up because I am not going to pay to play online

shingi_70 · « **Reply #920 on:** June 12, 2013, 08:23:20 AM »

Its how I feel. From games and feature set alone I feel Xbone >PS4 but Xbone got those fucked up polices so I'm going PS4.

Was disappointed that Sony didn't show off any new first party stuff with the expectation of Order.

Also I wonder how much PS+ will hurt indie devs. I won't e buying the three games they announced at launch now under the logic that i'll just wait to get them free. The PS+ games is another compelling reason to get a PS4 over xbone for now.

What's even worse is that ot of the big three Sony had the worst showing and is somehow getting praise for barley doing anything and for not pissing on consumer rights.

Quote

They shift a lot since around Feb.[/size]Before E3: "Sony has soooo many 1st party studios, they're going to blow MS and Nintendo out of the water at E3". Post E3 and Sony barely showed anything: "lol DRM, 24 hour check-in, all exclusives are ****".Post May 21st: "lol TV, TV, TV, TV"Post E3 and Sony spent a nice chunk talking about TV, Movies and Music: "lol DRM, 24 hour check in, all exclusives are **** $99".I said before E3, that there was literally nothing MS could do at this point to turn this mack truck of negativity around. They were pretty much done "on the internet" from the second they announced their policies pertaining to the console. It's their own fault though. Which is more apparent when publishers comes out and say they apparently didn't ask for them to do this.

AN apt response of what happened. I personoally don't care about DRM/Always Online my self, but Its sad that Sony's being great on these fronts are overshadowing a conference that spent a chunk of time on TV (but its oh so bad when microsoft did it), a disturbing lack of first party software from what I consider the best of the big threee, and an Overrelaince on third party demos.

I don't get why Sony is getting so much praise. All they did was maintain the status quo. They were rumored to be going Microsoft's route and probably got scared after the backlash it received. Yet all along Nintendo never once hinted at any of that anti-consumer garbage. They never got any praise for it and rightfully so. That's like receiving an award for being.

Internet: You're amazing, Sony.
Sony: Oh, why thank you. What did I do?
Internet: Nothing.
Sony: Nothing?
Internet: So much nothing.
Nintendo: We didn't do anything either.
Internet: Who let you out of the crawl space? Shoo, shoo!
*Nintendo looks down in shame and walks away*

...

While technically true you forgot a few things.

Timing for one. It was good timing for them compared to Nintendo.
They brought Unexpected Games. Nintendo not so much.
They brought items that didn't look like it was running on two consoles ago hardware. Nintendo not so much.
Conference Stream was watchable. Nintendo Not so much.
Nintendo had an Uphill battle to begin with due to poor performance of the MonHunU. Sony is building off of No Performance for the PS4 and good performance of the PS3.
Now the most important of all... They brought Car Porn. Nintendo tried to but instead painfully reminded us that F-Zero is Dead.

Dive Club stills needs some work to go. Currently its at 30 fps while Mario Kart/Forza are confirmed 1080/60 fps.
Thefull game is also going to be free on PS+ for the first year of PS4. The only difference is the PS+ version wont have all the tracks and cars.
