Oh damn you have to pay for online? Oh well, so far the only 2 games that excite me that are exclusives are single player games and it's less than 5 a month where as xbox live gold is around 9 US a month isn't it?
My only complaints are Plus possibly (almost definitely) being PS4's MP pass and no damn Vita games because I fucking love my Vita and it's my favorite game system.
But, shit, they can announce Vita games anytime, I guess. Announcing all that PS4 stuff needed to happen now.
Not happy about PS+ being essentially a Gold account now, except much cheaper.
Right now, the PS4 appears to be using P2P stuff while XBLG will have dedicated servers. Really, whichever poison is better depends on how much you care about dedicated servers and whether you care for the free games on PS+. I've heard they have decent enough free games.

Games-wise I thought the show was a bit weak for new announcements, but we were only going to see just so much in the lead-up to the console's release anyway
They Saturn'd the living shit out of the Xbox One, and I didn't think that was going to be happening again
Overall I think that was the best and most effective Sony conference I've ever seen. Just an absolute nut-kick parade in that last fifteen minutes
That really and truly was exactly what people have been saying that they should do for weeks. Go out and let people know that Microsoft is giving them the finger and sell them some damn fine games.

I personally am HUGELY relieved, many of Microsoft's initial intentions were so big brotherish as to worry a dedicated pc fan. I suspect the quiet at Sony after much of Microsoft's initial reveals may have included them changing plans to set up for this truly EPIC destruction.
Well played Sony. You may have just sold me a PS4. I have to figure out how I'm gonna pay for 2 consoles now, but dammit if they didn't make one hell of a compelling argument.
I really wonder if we will have some sort of response over the next few months. I wasn't really blown away by anything Sony did except for the price point and no check-ins, but $100 is a huge gap. As someone who actually likes Kinect and all of the TV/media junk at this point I am still going XOne, but certainly not leaning as hard as I was before and who knows what else will change before November.
My only concern now is the game price, going by Amazon it looks to be $100 per game.
Saw a reasonable comment about that - they can't raise a pre-sale price, but they can always lower it and refund the money, so I suspect it's being priced high enough that they know they can walk it back. There's some XBox One games listed at $100 as well (e.g. Thief 4)
This was everything I asked for. Except for the fucking paywall for multiplayer. Damn it.
But still. Given how sceptical everyone was of Sony not having drm, they fucking delivered. Both those announcements were so sweet. And Jack Tretton was really savouring it.
Only thing is... can I use a comfy controller? If not.... idk. I hate the dual shock with a passion. So no 24 check in and $100, or not getting carpal tunnel and halo.
I'd be seriously considering a PS4 if they had awesome Star Trek voice command shit and I could stand to use a dual shock for more than half an hour at a time

Hard decision.
I'm sure there will always be MadCatz.
I dunno, I've never minded the dual shock layout. The 360's D-pad can go die in a fire. I'd rather use a numpad.

I would expect them to allow third party peripherals for that kind of stuff.

Yeah, this is my question as well. How much storage will it have?
Sony might well quietly announce a $499 version later.

$499 version with Eyetoy4, I bet.

6:20 - 7:20. Turn the spinning Tony award into "$399! No DRM!" on either one or both sides. Have the crowd chanting "SONY! SONY!"

It is akin to lopping off your own finger.
