Sony states they have recently partnered up with around 21 companies to help produce exclusive games and content for the PS4.

According to Jack Tretton, Sony is currently working on making sure there is enough PS4s available in reserve to prevent a severe post-launch shortage lasting well into this upcoming holiday period.

Hope Jackie Boy keeps his promise. I remember when Gamestop let employees grab the first 2 PS3s their store would get for themselves then #1 in line actually got #3. Then Sony announced they were gonna be short on launch and Gamestop had to give up their 2.

The PS4 is currently rumored to not allow gameplay footage to be uploaded to Youtube through the use of the Share Button nor would it allow the use of third party video capturing devices for footage.

Share button doesn't effect me but it's stupid and a waste of button if you can't post it on youtube.

Considering the HDCP and questionable legality of strippers, this may end up being a big deal for a lot of people. I don't know. I like looking at YouTube footage when I'm not sure about a game.

Yeah damn that kinda sucks. I didn't plan on really using the Share button myself personally but being able to see good quality gameplay feeds of certain things would definitely be nice, on the convenience of Youtube.

Sony states he current plans for PS3 backwards compatibility are for it to arrive next year although no actual date has been picked yet. Only a select number of titles would be available when its launched though.
Quote:
Square Enix states those that own Final Fantasy XIV: A Realm Reborn will be able to upgrade from the PS3 version to the PS4 version for free. Although there is a catch that once the upgrade is done, only way to go back to the PS3 version is to buy another copy. Quote:
Sony is currently targeting around 5 million PS4s sold as the goal before the end of the fiscal year (March 2014). http://www.egmnow.com/articles/news/...ales-by-march/ Update to the recent rumors involving the PS4's Share Button and game recording as Sony states it will be possible to record using the HDMI port on the PS4 although its possible this feature won't be available at launch. http://www.destructoid.com/sony-conf...i-262138.phtml Some details regarding the Upgrade program were revealed by Sony with the biggest announcement being certain games have deadlines to when upgrades can be done.

Chinese electronic manufacture Foxconn is in big trouble after it was discovered they've been using unpaid workers to help assemble PS4 consoles. Making things worse was these unpaid workers ended up being engineering student interns who were threatened with the inability to graduate as punishment by Foxconn. Some of the students claimed they also had to work overtime and midnight shifts as part of Foxconn's demands.

They're not "in big trouble." This is the same "scandal" that's broke twice before about Foxconn, and you know what happens about it?
Well, they're still doing it. I'll let you fill in the blanks. Also, this isn't unique to Sony or current gen consoles, though it's posted under PS4. There's a chance your PS3, 360 or PC falls under the same category. |

Is this going to be shitty, and have the system die in a few years with absolutely no way to recover any of the data on it? Cause that's a great feature of the PS3

If the hard drive isn't the root cause of the PS3's problem then all your data is there. If you'd bothered to check the 100,000 replies thread I posted an answer to swapping hard drives into a new PS3

When you swap a hard drive into another PS3, that PS3 wipes the data on the hard drive. The data on the hard drive is the only thing I care about saving.

Both the retail version and Playstation Plus version of Driveclub are currently rumored to have been delayed till Spring 2014 with the unofficial reason related to scheduling issues.
http://www.screwattack.com/news/rumo...tliple-sources http://kotaku.com/is-ps4-launch-game...014-1446600232 Sony has released the list of retailers and locations in the US that will be getting playable PS4 demo kiosks. The list is also expected to get expanded once more retailers get included. Quote:

Saw the trailer for Contrast today to see what we would be getting and I'm very intrigued. Also heard Elias Toufexis' voice and that's a selling point, too.

Messed about with one today. FIFA and Killzone are exactly as you'd expect, just prettier.
Controller feels good though. Glad I didn't order one, can wait for a price drop or two I think. EDIT: lol Last edited by #BROKEN Hasney; 12-03-2013 at 08:09 AM. |

There are claims going around that Target is cancelling pre-order bundles with delayed games. Seems like a bunch of people are going to be piiiiiiiiiiiiissed.

Similar to the Xbox One, the PS4 will also require a Day 1 patch to be downloaded in order to make several features become playable.
The patch will update the firmware to version 1.5 while the actual size of the patch is around 300 MB. Quote:

The Playstation blog recently released a huge FAQ list of everything the PS4 will and will not be able to do.
Some of the things listed included mandatory installs for all disc games although they can be playable before the installing is done, won't support the ability to play music from CDs, and around 19 games will be available at launch (for North America). Also PS4-PS3 cross-platform play is possible but its up to developers to do so. http://www.giantbomb.com/articles/so...ils/1100-4774/ http://blog.us.playstation.com/2013/...north-america/ |

Also doesn't play MP3s. You have to sign up to their music unlimited service if you want in game music. Also, external USB storage devices cannot be used at all, even for playing media.
Man, that MP3 bullshit is vintage Sony at their arrogant best. They'll probably change their tune at some point and it will come down with a magical firmware update, but fuck em. |

Buzzed through that blog and hoping a 1-time gamertag change would be there for PS3-PS4 transition. Sadly, it's not.

Pre-order Warframe, and you get some free add-on stuff.
It's a free game, btw. No harm in giving it a try. http://blog.us.playstation.com/2013/...uses-detailed/ |

Sony recently updated the Terms of Use agreement for the PS4 with the biggest being Sony now has the right to monitor and record up to all PSN messages (text and audio) at their sole discretion. As well as the ability to remove any UGM (user-generated media) without needing to inform/notify the user.

Yeah everything I've heard/read the past couple months is making me happy in my decision to put off buying a new console right away. Future is scary times.
