PS4, finally to be unveiled?

The $14.99/m is for Xbox live, not the Xbox itself. It's a good deal if your going to have Xbox live anyway.

From what I read on that link is that you can get a $99 Xbox if you buy a 2 year membership to Xbox live for $14.99/month.

"Get an
Xbox 360*
——for——
$99
With 2 year Xbox LIVE Gold Membership at $14.99/month"

In other words, they are forcing you to purchase an Xbox live membership costing you $14.99/month. That's why i said that it's a rip off. Because a year membership is only $60. This way it is $179.88/year.
 
So, the unveiling is going on right now. The Watch Dogs demo was amazing. AND. Blizzard is currently on stage talking about their new partnership with Sony. That's freaking crazy.

Update: Diablo 3 is coming to the PS3/4. What a disappointment.
 
I agree about Watch Dogs. Bungie's Destiny looked sweet! I'm thinking it's like a console version of Planetside 2.
 
"supercharged" pc arch
x86 cpu
pc gpu
8gb ram
local hdd

so basically, it's a computer!
suck it console people!

i've had my "PS4" for about 4 years now. :D

You my friend, are a hard man to impress then.
 
Watched about an hour of stream and got bored, same specs as a modern gaming computer, games looked a bit boring, that dragon game looked cool though. Shame the Vita wasn't really dealt with, was hoping they'd announce a price cut like they did in Japan.
 
IMHO, the graphics that I seen, was pretty fck'in amazing if you ask me. I built my PC purely for gaming, and out of all the games I played (Maxed) doesn't look as good as the PS4. Maybe that's do to the software/game developers not maxing out the potential a PC has to offer. You can have all the power/performance in the world, but it's useless when every game can be MAXED with just a 660ti or 7870.

I don't think you can build a gaming PC(today) for the price of a PS4(rumored around $429-$529), that can come near the performance the PS4 has to offer. And you can't beat the game selection and community either.

Yeah I was going to say that PC games could easily look that good but devs often don't utilise the PC's capability to make it playable for people without decent computers

Also in terms of technology, the PS4 hasn't even come out yet and it's already out of date tech wise :P PC's can keep up with the times better, not sure why consoles don't allow upgrades would make a lot more sense

It's not out dated yet, but will be when it's launched. What I was saying, was that you can not build a PC for the price of a PS4 and expect to get the same performance (gaming wise).

I wouldn't say that. Just thought that they would come out with "the next gen console". Instead, they just improved it a little. Like they mentioned, this console is still in 'testing' phase, so maybe they will change it.

I'm trying to find specs on the damn thing, can't find any. Anybody know the exact specs? CPU brand/model? GPU brand/model? HDD (most likely Sony brand) cache/speed?

The new console is better then the old one yes, but as for jaw dropping, the only time that happened was when i yawned.

All I know is, it's an x86 8 core CPU, with 8GB RAM, and a AMD Radeon GPU(most likely an 7870 or 7950).

Edit: I heard that it might be packing the AMD 8000 series. Which is more believable, so it wont be out dated fast.

iirc the PS3's GPU was based of a 7800GTX and look at Gran Turismo 5. Killzone 3 was a great looking game too.

You're disappointed because you want more of something that doesn't matter. It's not about the hardware anymore. You don't need the latest and greatest to have amazing graphics and great experiences. Sure they could put in Ivy Bridge and a 680. But, not only is that not needed, it would sky rocket the price.

This day and age is all about software. There is no point in looking at the specs of these consoles anymore. Obviously they'll be better than the last gen. Obviously, they can render better quality graphics than last gen. That much is a given. But, how are they going to deliver the content to you? How are they going to change your gaming experience? That's what matters. That's what console developers are concentrating on.

From what I've seen at the unveiling, Sony has some pretty beast things in store. From the seamless streaming, to the instant game demos, the play while you download, etc. It's pretty impressive so far.
 
Tbh it all just seems as bit meh from here. The only things that really stood out was the streaming to vita and connecting to someone else console to play the game whilst streaming it to your console.

Time will tell though, lets see microsofts offering
