Re: PlayStation 4 Discussion

Ill accept the subscription if the service is better .

I'm fine paying for a yearly subscription for online.

The spectator mode would be awesome.

I would like to say I wouldn't pay $600... But when it comes down to it I probably will bite.

Whats going to make it hard on me is of both consoles release around the same time and trying to figure out which one to grab.

Sub. to play online is the #1 reason I never went with the 360, and I won't be going PS4 if they do the same.

So you'll just be new system-less from here on out? Just keep that PS3 until games are no longer made and then quit gaming?

Put about $50 bucks a month on each until release then pay off the remaining balance at release. Of course thats assuming your monthly finances allow that. I plan to use this strategy but might mean cutting out some excess spending I really dont need like buying snacks at work or ordering pizza with food in the house.

Those new controllers having touch screen/pads is definitely going to keep me from having a controller graveyard this gen lol.

That is a good strategy. What I will do is cut out my video game purchases for this generation. I will get 3 more games this gen and that will be The Show, Last of Us, and GTA. I may get God of War next Xmas or if there is a lightning deal/Gold Box deal on Amazon down the road. I also plan on trading in my Xbox towards the next playstation so that should cut down the amount i need.

Why couldn't the conference be earlier today. Have to wait a day. Hopefully PS4 is announced.

Re: PlayStation 4 Discussion

This sounds weird, but I was happily willing to pay for Sony's online service when I felt I was getting a bonus out of it, more like it being an option for me. Now that it's more of a "requirement" so to speak, I'm less willing to do it. Of course I will still do it, but it doesn't lend me to believe that I will be getting as much out of it because it won't be as "exclusive" as PS+ was. I wonder if the free/discounted games will be as good and such.

It won't matter for a while since I'm not getting it at launch anyway, but just my two cents.

I may do that. Or when I get income tax, pay off one system and pay on the other. Don't know yet.

I think they've set a pretty high expectation with PSN+ that it would behoove them to attempt to continue even if the same fee now included access to most desirable online services like Netflix, Vudu and multiplayer.

I know EXACTLY how you feel. The requirement will make it feel we're getting far less out of it than if it were just an "added bonus" like PS+ is.

Re: PlayStation 4 Discussion

I hope this thing debuts at $400. But im thinking more like $500. To bad i"ll be heading to work when the conference starts.

Re: PlayStation 4 Discussion

Paying to access subscription based services is asinine. Paying for online multiplayer access is asinine. Paying for basic online functionality is asinine. No matter what else is included, I won't pay out of principle if those are included. I'll go mainly PC if that's the case (probably still have a PS4 at some point because I like Sony's exclusives).

However, I don't think that's what this will be. IMO it will be tied to Gaikai and expanded cloud based services (like the share button stuff talked about before). I guess we'll find out eventually, maybe in 7 hours but I feel like today won't go into that much detail.
