Rumour going around that Sony will be announcing the return of an old franchise tonight - possibly Crash Bandicoot:

Activision own that.

Would like another Jak game.

I wasn't going to, but I'm now going to go to the Dublin PS4 Rooms, most likely in 23rd. I had played ps4 at eurogamer expo but couldn't resist temptation at being able to get my hands on it again before launch, should tide me over till the 29th
Does anyone here know what time they open & close at?

This thread is moving fast so apologies if already posted but just saw that SOny confirms it is looking into a 'faulty HDMI' port issue on a small number of shipped units. This explains the other issues of some PS4's not showing any display.

lets hope it's only a small batch that are faulty. The same was said about rrod and ylod at the beginning and look how big of an issue that was.

Is anyone here interested in the extra social features of the PS4? Will you be sticking with your PSN ID or using your real name?

I want to use my real name when I get it. It makes sense to do that with people I know. Only problem is I don't have a Facebook account so I won't have that option.

I haven't seen much about Twitter integration on the PS4. I assume there is something there.

I wasnt sure so i created a new Facebook account for my gaming :pac:

In fairness, it's only a faulty hdmi port and in the grand scheme of things that's gonna be an easy fix (unlike the rrod)

Can only think of Colony Wars or and I would be very happy it will be Zone of Enders 3, would tie in with the Kojima tweet.
.

Same, would love another Colony Wars, or G-Police or Decent. Didn't the last Dino Crisis end up in space?

Speaking of Kotaku and stupid people on the Internet, this is a genuine post from underneath one of their articles from today. I really wish I was making this up:

Next can we have a discussion about how the full PS4 experience costs ~$700 while the XBone costs ~$140 less?

PS4:
- $399 (Console)
- $199 (Vita - required for Remote Play)
- $59 (Camera)
- $50 (PS Plus Membership - required for MP)
———————————————————————
$707

XBox One:
- $499 (Console)
- $59 (Live Membership - required for, well, a lot)
———————————————————————
$558

So about a $149 difference - give or take.

How is remote play part of the full experience? It's an added benefit to those of us with a vita, the vita is a whole different console. So minus that $199 and PS4 still wins!

Klair88

Shoulda know that once the americans got their hands on it, they'd shoot it with a really big gun!

WARNING: It is disturbing to watch, that poor console!

He was probably paid either by Sony to do so, or he gets enough revenue from ads to offset the cost. Either way, I'm pretty sure he had 2 bought/given to him.

He does it with all new tech, not sure how people get a kick out of it though.

And depending on what product your using smart glass on that would bring the price way up . What's cheapest smart phone .tablet

At least add $250 plus the play and charge
is way more expensive

The PS4 has it's own version of smart glass too though.

Update on the 7 broken consoles from Sony

A Sony representative has provided the following statement to IGN:

"A handful of people have reported issues with their PlayStation 4 systems. This is within our expectations for a new product introduction, and the vast majority of PS4 feedback has been overwhelmingly positive. We are closely monitoring for additional reports, but we think these are isolated incidents and are on track for a great launch.

There have been several problems reported, which leads us to believe there isn’t a singular problem that could impact a broader percentage of systems. The number of affected systems represents less than .04% of shipped units to date, which is within our expectations for a new product introduction.

Well that settles it. If Jimmy, Tweek and Craig are going for PS4 then that's the seal of approval

Dunno if you got an answer here, it's in London.



Can't see it mentioned, maybe it has been, but there's some big PS4 related announcement from Kojima coming in approx. 7 hours. GAF are speculating a next-gen ZOE, which would be spectacular.
