    It also says its just a placeholder price, so there's not too much to discern from that yet

    What's that roughly translate to in US dollars?

    Or more accurately, US Dollars where Sony isn't trying to screw over Australia?

    $920.49. Keep in mind it's just a placeholder price until the official price is named, but don't expect it to be under $420 at the absolute minimum considering its specs.

    There is an issue in general of women being given opportunities, especially in the games industry, but that's more of a larger thing not at all related to today's press conference.

    yeah man woemn in the games industry is an issue but this kinda big deal thing in the industry has no relation to that at all whatsoever

    the fact that nobody posting in this thread even noticed until somebody linked the kotaku article reflects just how big of a problem it is, really

    I think itis because people were excited about new stuff.

    i know i was. I didn't even notice that until it was pointed out.

    even then, the fact remains that none of us noticed, even the women among us

    i'm a bad benchmark. I've gotten overly excited and not noticed broken bones.

    I've never bought that, I've never heard exactly why or where it was banned. Always seemed like a way to drum up views.

    Like I get loving Nintendo and they are a really great company who makes some of my favorite games, but there is a point where you're just ignoring facts.

    Let's make no mistake though. It still isn't "doomed"

    Nintendo took the Apple route and kept most of its earnings from the Wii liquid. They can last a long time, even on the failure of the Wii U.

    seriously. to me it's looking like the wii u will be perceived as a "massive flop" like the gamecube was (modestly profitable over time, but completely unable to live up to the expectations set by its predecessor, and vastly overshadowed by other contemporary consoles). likewise, the 3DS probably isn't going to live up to the sales of the DS, but it's still doing pretty well for itself.

    most of their losses right now are coming from the shitty yen-dollar exchange rate, and that's exactly as much of an issue for sony, so nintendo isn't uniquely fucked on that front

    (except that sony as a whole is totally fucked given that their gaming division is the only part of the company that's turned anything close to a profit in years. i'm surprised that they didn't use the ps4 to cross-promote their other tech, like how they tried to use the ps3 to push 3D TVs.)

    ive kinda lost the thread of the specs, did they ever mention if it was needed to always be plugged into the internet or not? or if you can just... not sign up for the ps social thing?

    They didn't mention anything about that or any of the used games rumors.

    Given how heavily they are pushing online, it's pretty obvious they want the console to have an always-on internet connection at least.

    you need to lease a drm chip implant that will only allow you to see content that you purchased, if you try and look at any PS4 content without permission you will have a seizure

    you will not be allowed to play any previously played games, or have access to memories of games you have played previously but have not purchased through playstation cloud, violation of this policy will wipe ALL personal memories except those that are sony-associated

    the neurochip will have constant sonynet access, but you have to pay by the nanosecond and if you ever lose your connection the neurochip will self-destruct and wipe out everyone in a 5-mile radius

    I meant more getting them to use it as the preview

    so that's probably still a yes!

    Back in November the police killed everyone I knew and loved. They busted into my home and shot my wife in the face, then set my son on fire and dragged him behind their cruisers until he was a bloody smear. Taking to the skies in jet black helicopters, they laughed that the law was whatever they wanted it to be and began silencing dissidents en masse. Human stories like this can be brought to life with the magic of the Playstation 4, so users like you can learn to Fuck the Police and share this message in real time on your favorite social networks.
