Should have preordered first, canceled later (If you decided to). Now you are likely behind thousands of people :/

[Ratatapa]

Amazon.ca is so behind

Still can't preorder (an email will be sent when preorders are available) lucky i got 1 at futureshop and 1 at ebgames

You were behind thousands of people the second it popped up on Amazon.

That says if you let your ps+ lapse even for a month you lose everything on it, even if you resubscribe later - that's not true is it?

That article has so much incorrect information... the person who wrote it should feel bad. They obviously have never let plus expire before.

Negative. I ordered hours later on Newegg.com right after the preorder popped up on neweggs website. I left a addon in firefox refreshing the page ever 30 seconds. The button went live around 1:08 am central time.

Anyone else still on a bit of a high from last night? I haven't touched my PS3 for months (either XIII-2 or Disgaea 4, I forget which I played last) and now I just can't wait to console game again.

[Amiricle]

Honestly I'd pay for PSN+ even if it wasn't required for online gaming. They actually give you something for your money, the freebies and discounts and free game trials and what have you actually make it so the 50 bucks you spend serve a purpose.

Same. In fact I already do & have a massive backlog of games as a result. Even so the forced sub for multiplayer still disappoints.

Will depend if the PS4 has a fixed read rate as the PS3 did, since an SSD barely did anything for games on that.

They forgot to talk about the Playstation Camera.

I feel like some sick addict after Monday's whoosh and Friday's The Last of Us. Tooooo much hype to process

Sony not “defensive” or “apologetic” about paid PS4 multiplayer (and they're recouping cost of the system's lower price point)

The online experience of PlayStation 4 is a significant step above the PlayStation 3′s, SCE Europe boss Jim Ryan told us, and that’s why you’ll have to fork out for a PlayStation Plus subscription if you want to take advantage of it.

“The online experience on PS3 has got better, but at the beginning it was rather rudimentary, and the investment associated with it reflected that,” the executive told us of the change in an interview at E3 2013.

“We are going to make a very significant step-change in the online experience with PlayStation 4. Some of that functionality was spoken about yesterday, and some on February 20, and that’s all great and we’re really happy that we’re able to make our online experience much more competitive, but the flipside is that this stuff comes at a cost.

“When you’re trying to achieve a £349 price-point and trying to deliver all this functionality, the money has to come from somewhere.”

Ryan said adding multiplayer to the very successful PlayStation Plus package seemed the most appropriate way to cover costs.

“I think we’ve done it in a reasonable and fair manner, and I don’t feel defensive in sitting here and looking at the whole package,” he added.

“Yes, we’re charging for online multiplayer, and we have to be quite straight about that and not hide it at all. It is part of PlayStation Plus, and all the good stuff that goes with that. Set that against the competitive offering and the overall value proposition that it’ll provide UK consumers, and I don’t feel bad about it at all. I don’t feel apologetic.”

Ryan was at pains to point out that PlayStation 3 and Vita’s online multiplayer will remain free regardless of Sony’s plans for the PlayStation 4.

“The amount of people that engage in online multiplayer on PlayStation 3 is very considerable, and it’s important that they feel comfort that they’re not going to be charged for something that’s hitherto been free,” he said.

PlayStation Plus costs the local equivalent of about $5 per month and includes discounts, full games and bonus items as well as early access to betas.

To be honest I'm glad they didn't. All that talk about Kinect and Move last year was a major turn off for me. Microsoft did it a little bit and I just kept thinking, "Okay let's move on to the real stuff already." Same thing with this case. Glad they didn't focus on it really.

[Mazmaz]

But Sony, I don't want to win the war on reality

PS Eye Demo

[Minions]

Wonder how much PSEYE stuff will end up at Gamescom or TGS. They have not really shown much. I know its not included in box, but it seems Sony is systematically showing more features little by little.

[Headspace]

After watching that video, I'm glad it's optional.

[octopus]

Wtf did I just watch lol
