I'm actually excited about this, even though I'm kind of underwhelmed by the software currently on display
it was heavy on games, didn't seem like they were more interested in pushing Crackle and Hulu than core titles, they've made changes to the controller, and I love the sharing stuff
basically what Brad said: I'm way less worried about Microsoft dropping the ball now, because it looks like Sony has their shit together
I picked this option as a joke and now I see people legit upset about the sony thing
for fuck's sake can we go one press conference or game event without someone yelling how it's a waste of time? they're all fucking wastes of time by their very nature, why do you even still watch them

Why are they using gddr5 as their system memory? That makes a whole lot of no sense. Also all this 8 gig stuff is so dumb, what are they going to do, run 5 games at a time? I gotta believe that tech specs sheet is a load of shit.
I am also so far away from having to decide to buy one of these new goddamned things that it literally doesn't matter how OMG TERRIBLE their press event was

Are you seriously complaining that the RAM of a new system is too powerful?

Man, I am bummed about the lack of backwards compatibility but understand I am in the minority. I just haven't really gotten around to picking up a PS3 and with the way things have been looking I might actually be able to do that later this year. Guess I get to either choose between next gen or a ps3. Or just wait another year for the ps3 to hit 100 bucks.

GDDR5 runs faster than DDR3.
8 gb seems perfect to help future proof the machine

people are mad about everything all the time.
Personally, i'm excited. come, be excited with me.

when the actual cost of the thing is still unknown being too powerful is a legit concern

Yes but gddr5 is memory used in graphics cards, hence the G. So it's puzzling to have them use it as system memory instead.
And UV I'm not complaining I'm just questioning the necessity of 8 gigs of ram, for anything.

It's as if you are expecting people to react differently than they do for almost every press conference.
Personally, I'm interested in what Sony has to offer, but I am waiting for Microsoft's announcement and price points on consoles and comparable PC build alternatives to jump to any conclusions, but that's a bit to level headed to discuss on the internet.

This generation lasted what, seven years? This one will only last longer.

They call it GDDR5 because it was designed for graphics cards, but it's not like it can only be used for them. It's just faster memory.
And 8 gigs of memory is going to seem as outdated as 1 gb seems now at the end of the PS4 cycle.

This is why PC fighting games are the best, my windows machine will never not accept a usb xbox controller.
No one is sure yet
ahahaha
no it's actually just Diablo 3
I thought i was a lot more jaded than i actually am about new consoles.
I am currently over stimulated.

but I don't expect to be able to afford these new consoles any sooner than I got the most recent gen's. 5 years after they were announced.

it says "close the system to resume download" but I've had it closed for like 4 hours and Fire Emblem hasn't budged from 9%

This is the silliest thing to complain about.
did you see last year's E3
No, I don't think it downloads stuff during sleep mode.
Well, technically, it is the highest selling next gen console.
Wii U's numbers against 0 against 0 don't lie :bz

Close it harder.
Close it like you mean it.
Gimme that RAM
ALL OF IT
it should
the wireless is supposed to stay active while the system is closed and in sleep mode
try restarting the download

That is a bold statement.
if i remember correctly it sold 55,000 units last month compared to the 360's 250,000 units
