Launch Titles:
Quick note about Launch Titles - not all of these have been confirmed 100%. I've used the information that I have available and my own personal judgement to determine if these will be available at launch. Call of Duty: Ghosts, for example, has a release date of November 5th, 2013, so I've listed it as a launch title, since the PS4 will likely launch after that date.

PS4 Interface Official Trailer:
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1OegYm1dM9gPS4 Purchases, Deals, Retailers and other assorted odds and ends
I'll reserve this area for any trustworthy retailers, sweet deals, or bundles for the PS4. As you guys post stuff I'll update this.
Best buy is currently running a deal for $10 off PS+ for a year. Details.
Thank @DevoutlyApathetic for this information.
*NOTE ABOUT AMAZON*
If you pre-ordered from Amazon, please be aware that they have created two "editions" for the console's release - a "Launch" edition and a "Standard" edition. There is absolutely no difference between these versions whatsoever. The "Launch" PS4s are simply those that are guaranteed to be release day delivery. When Amazon ran out of their promised stock, they added a "Standard" bundle that did not have a guaranteed delivery date. Both systems are otherwise exactly the same.
FAQ: (I will add to this as we know more information)
Q: Is PS4 backwards compatible with PS3 games?
A: Unfortunately, no, it is not. The PS3 architecture relied on using the Cell processor, which makes backwards compatibility a difficult thing to achieve. Sony will be launching a service called "Gakai" which will allow for streaming of games, and presumably some form of backwards compatibility via that streaming service.
Q: I've heard that you need a PS+ account to play online multiplayer, is that true?
A: Yes, with this generation you will have to purchase a PS+ account in order to play multiplayer games through the PSN. However, Free to Play online games and MMOs with a subscription fee are exempt from this policy.

Q: Do I have to purchase a PS+ account in order to use streaming services like Netflix, Ustream, or Hulu?
A: No, those services can be used without a PS+ account.
Q: If I purchase a PS+ account is it just for online multiplayer, or does it come with additional benefits/rewards?
A: PS+ comes with a number of benefits beyond online multiplayer. Each month, PS+ subscribers have access to a number of games that they can purchase and add to their account for free. So long as you remain a subscriber, you will be able to download and play those games at any time. You can even reserve games for systems you don't own (but should) like the Vita. If you choose not to renew your subscription to the service, you will lose access to those games until you resubscribe. Any games you bought outright (even at a discount) are yours permanently and you can download them whenever you like.
Q: Is the PS4 region locked?
A: Nope, the PS4 is region free. Source: http://www.slashgear.com/ps4-region-lock-free-sony-confirms-11285982/
Q: I just read that all games will use the remote play feature, is this true?
A: Yes, unless the game requires specific hardware like the camera. Source:
Q: Does the PS4 interact with my phone in any way?
A: Yes, Sony has promised an iOS and Android app to act as a "second screen." Source: http://m.ign.com/articles/2013/02/21/playstation-app-coming-to-iphone-ipad-and-android

Balls.
"We have years of struggle ahead, mostly within ourselves." - Made in USA
I liked this suggestion, so I went with it
I wonder where the name "Orbis" came from, I can't find any significant metaphors going on.
Don't worry. You're going to own a Vita. It's inevitable.
Also, yay PS4. Super excited for Second Son, and while it isn't exclusive, that Destiny demo they did was pretty incredible. Those are my two most anticipated next gen titles.
All Sony needs to do is make up with and re-hire the guy who played Kevin Butler, and victory will be complete.
The PS4 has me seriously reconsidering that estimation, which I think of nothing less than a magnificent success on Sony's part. Not only are they making the superior console product, they've made part of it so good that it may actually make their handheld campaign successful.
Son of a fucking VR-gigalo. If they announce plans to support that, my plan to wait for preordering a PS4 will immediately go from "struggling" to "nonexistent".
This is me as well. I have a hacked PSP that plays most of the handheld games I want(ed) but learning that all of the PS4 games are going to be mandated to use either the Move (which I own) or a Vita... and then seeing the interoperability examples shown at E3 (ie. the little flying guy who buzzes in during the gameplay of Tom Clancy's The District and the person providing "assistance" on a tablet during the Watch_Dogs demo)... plus knowing what that kind of asnycronous gaming is happening _right now_ on the WiiU... well, it's really making me want to pick up a Vita "just in case" something really amaze-balls happens in a year.
I posted that, and got it from the same place! It does deserve to be here, as I have a feeling that questions on the Oculus Rift will come up again.
As for the Vita, I got one only for P4: Golden, and while not regretting the purchase, I had been considering myself less than brilliant for buying an entire system for 1 game. With the PS4 fully supporting Remote Play, though, the Vita might just become my new best friend.
Solid gold. That is how you do marketing.
- Destiny Dynamic Theme (it's just slow-panning concept art)
- Last of Us Dynamic Theme (it's also just slow-panning concept art)
- Killzone Mercenary Beta Key
- PS+ 1 Month Free Key
- Music Unlimited Key
- A bunch of cosmetic items that I'll never bother with because lolHome.
I guess the Dynamic themes are ok. Wish they were more... dynamic.
I'm seriously considering picking up a Vita and Persona 4 (which I never got around to playing on the PS2, despite Persona 3 being one of my favorite games ever).
I am not exaggerating in the slightest when I say that I cannot remember the last time I turned my 360 on.
Well shit. Is this still going to be up tomorrow? Because I'll have to dive into Home.

^5 first thread man, good job
Thanks
I thought in the camera tech demo they said it meant play.
Metro. Again with the fucking Metro. So sick of fucking square tile UIs... UGH! UGH, I SAY!
You know, I was probably watching it at the exact moment you were. Honestly that trailer made me cringe. I was so irritated by the camera work that I don't feel like I have a good feel for what the interface actually looks like.
Yep. How hard is it to orient a camera in front of your interface and just have people navigate through it?
I'll see if I can find better demos on E3's floor that showcase the interface.
If they'll do a price drop and actually support Remote Play this time around, I'll pick up a Vita as well.

Speaking of... any word on 4K movie support?
Someone in the last thread said that Sony's basically stating that any game not using Eye or Move is required to support RemotePlay.
No source provided, but I trust you people. Implicitly.
*Falls backward*
You'll have access to it as long as you're subscribed. You don't even need to actually download the games just make sure they go into your "download list" in the store and you can grab them whenever you please.
Yeah, I'm going to have to subscribe. $70 a year is nothing, and those game are games I want to play, but would cost me near that much each.
Count me as one of those PS3 owners who never gave PS+ a look until now.
The source was the President of Sony World Wide Studios, Suhei Yoshida.
Also, it seems every time I've posted something for the PS4, my source has been Suhei's twitter account. The guy is kinda awesome at getting information out there for a company President.
Make sure you still add them to your download list so you'll have them if you ever decide to get one.
When my fiancee is watching something I don't want to watch, right now I go play my PC, and she gets annoyed I spend so much time playing the PC. If she's watching say, Downton Abbey, and I can just boot up the PS4, remote in, and load up some Watch Dogs or something? Holy shit yes.
For me, its at lunch at work. My company just built a brand new HQ that we are moving into on the 1st, and we've outfitted it with full blown wi-fi to allow employees to use personal devices on. Sitting in the break room at lunch playing Watch Dogs? Hell yes I want that!
