Don't expect the quality to be very good, it's using Bluetooth.

I'm surprised by the amount of people that don't just buy a cheap gaming headset. You can get a wireless 5.1 headset for less than the price of a new game.

well i am casual player - would play only few minutes to get my mind off other things so I'm pretty happy with basic headphones as long as I don't have to sit in front of TV to have them plugged in

Depends on what type of bluetooth will be in use and how sony have the ds4 engineered for audio through the 3.5mm jack, if it's in anyway like Sony's MDR-1RBT then the weakest link may well be in the headphones you end up plugging in.

Gaming headsets arent a novelty like 3d or gaming chairs. They really do help with the tone of the game imo.

I am mildly more interested in The Playroom now... mildly.

Brutal Legend and Happy Action Theater studio Double Fine is developing the PS4's augmented-reality curio The PlayRoom, due upon the console's launch.

This news emerged from SCEA VP of developer and publisher relations, Adam Boyes, during a Sony indies showcase event tonight at PAX Prime attended by Eurogamer.

Ive always said if MS and Sony ever teamed up to make one console, it would probably be the best partnership in the world:pac:

Disagree here. Microsoft probably would have insisted on some of the idiotic policies the xbone had at the start and there would be no competition to make them change their minds.

hopefully sometime in the future these polices that they tried to introduce can be improved without drm restrictions, would of been something great
although either way the future will be eventually digital just hopefully not as restrictive as they tried to make it

how did i insult him? i just said hes a MS hater which clearly shows, but thats not insluting

i didnt say anything to personally insult him, i just stated something about his post which shows hes a MS hater, thats a fact but i dont hold him to it because theirs plenty who do hate MS and i wouldnt blame them.
and i already gave my opinion

read above:pac:

Not really. Just because they asked you to elaborate doesnt automatically classify them as a "MS hater". Are you talking about the discless playing? Or are you talking about something else?

Theirs asking why i think that and theirs being smart about it the way they wrote it :pac: open your eyes man
ive already voiced my opinions multiple times, im not writing them all over again, specialy not in this thread seen as theirs to much hate going on both sides of the river, it will only cause a flame war which im not really interested in.

All i said was if MS and Sony teamed up they would be a great partnership and thats my opinion and I dont feel the need to elaborate on that opinion because it speaks for itself, whether people agree or disagree thats up to them I dont really care :L because its something that will never happen anyhow so it be pointless to have a debate over it

"Which policies could have been great?" You have a clear case of forum paranoia.

another terrific looking indie game to buy on day one.....looks super hard to control though, might be one of those games you throw heavy objects at

I am MS hater and not afraid to say it

but I would be happy to read reasons why xbox is better and why Microsoft policies were ok, really .. I might change my mind - but so far nothing ..

but most reliable are going to be reviews once both consoles are out on market, as MS or Sony only tells us good stuff

Hope no one starts up any of this again.

LOL, you post all that to avoid a "flame war"? Surely posting a few points on whatever MS policies that were good, but now gone, would have been simpler? If someone disagrees, so what? You said yourself plenty would agree with you

Makes no odds when you can swap out the internal one yourself. Mute point. It's only a useful feature for the X1 as you can't change it's HDD

Surely size becomes an issue when you want to place a large capacity harddrive inside. Will it fit?

How large? you're hitting 2tb before realistically having to go up a size in HDD

That's good, 3 TB+ would be nice.

I am very surprised Sony are not supporting external harddrives. Such a small feature, that's a shame.

They are, you just can't install games on it.

Can't really see you having more than 2tb of games anytime soon, but by the time such a collection has been amassed higher capacity HDD's will have come down in price - making them a realistic option.

The PS4 does support ext. HDD's - but you cannot store your games on one.

Cienciano · 01-09-2013 1:21pm

Sure the 500gb drive will last a long time before it's full. Not supporting games on external hard drives isn't a problem imho.

Haven't actually read anything on that, is this currently enabled on the PS3?

You're asking the wrong man, 360 owner here.
