Re: PlayStation 4 Discussion

No one knows yet. If Sony provides Amazon with enough units to match the preorders, you will get one day 1. If not (there always is a shortage on release day), you may have to wait a few days. Thats why I have a backup at BB. Also, I preordered one 30 seconds after the preorder link went live so I should be in the first batch.

Maybe, maybe not. The PS4 was originally up for preorder back in Feburary for about 2-3 hours at $1000. I have seen a lot of people who got in there as well. I also hopped in last night right when the link went live.

Even better. Less money now will please the wife since we are about to have new windows installed in house. And everyone knows that ain't cheap.

Good luck putting those bad boys in. That **** ain't easy.

Re: PlayStation 4 Discussion

Will be buying at release for sure. Was always going to even before E3, but now the price point makes it a no brainer for me.

No used game fees, no always online connection, and a price point of $399, I'd say it was a clean sweep for Sony. They could have came out and taken a **** on stage, but at long as those three things were said, they'd win E3.

I imagined Sony presenting the Human Centipede for 55 minutes, then the last 5 dancing while yelling "$399! NO DRM! NO ONLINE NECESSARY!" then walking off stage.

Still a better love story than Twilight. Still a better e3 than MS.

I think I'm ok though. If the Amazon preorder doesnt work, my BB one was made when it went live too.

Amazon is the best way to go IMHO. Saving 50 bucks in tax that could go toward another controller or game. I had no option for shipping so I don't think I got on the wagon quick enough for the first batch.


I jut hope Sony matches units to preorders. If they do then I should be ok.

Looks like the back of the DeLorean from BTTF, but that is a lot of vent space.

I would like to point out, don't confuse the temperature of the plastic casing with the temperatures that matter, the chip temperatures. We really don't know how hot the PS3 ran.

Oh nice didn't see the back before; that is good,

Unfortunately my first PS3 (one of the original fat ones) YLOD and I believe that was caused due to overheating? I'm not 100% sure. My PS3 tends to freeze on resource-heavy games at times, too, but that I'm also unsure of whether it is a hardware or software issue. I always just figured it was because it got too hot with extended use.

As for inclusions, I don't care whether the camera is included or not--I guess it interacts with the controller in some way, but I figure I can just buy it if I really need one. I like that it is optional rather than required.

No mention of the form factor for the hard drive that I've seen. My guess is 2.5" laptop drives like the PS3.

Ok I was at Gamestop when they opened and it was 100.00 for PS4 reserve also.
I reserved it along with a second controller (I was #1 ).
So I have 1 at GS and 1 at Amazon.

I also switched my Madden 360 reserve to Madden PS4

A handful of others there when it opened?

To be honest, I felt fairly bored by Sony's E3 presentation the first 30 minutes or so. This is not the first year I have felt that way either with them. I feel like the Vita was crapped on for sure after last night. No price drop and then getting some games that we have had on consoles, etc. for a year to a few years now. That first 30 minutes or so felt like Sony was trying to rush through the Vita and PS3 to get to the PS4. It just had an odd pacing. I felt the same way with how the 360 was handled at the MSFT conference. It was like talked about for a few minutes and then they were done.

GT6 looked great, but if they can't match the Forza like career I don't care.

Beyond will be an amazing game for sure.

Kingdom Hearts 3 did grab my attention which is going to be a great game.

On the Xbox 1 front, games like Quantum Break, Ryse, and Dead Rising 3 really grabbed my attention. I felt like their E3 presentation was a bit better than years past and for once it felt quite a bit structured, except for the 360 front which was rushed. But their policies and $100 price point will drive many to the other side of the fence.

I did pre-order the PS4 on Amazon just in case from a financial standpoint I decide to get it. The PS3 and PC can get me by to Spring if not early summer is I decide to just wait it out. Sony has made it a little hard to jump over right away due to new IP's coming to the PS3 in the fall and some amazing 3rd party support which might not be there in the first year for the PS4/X1.

So according to Best Buys Facebook, you can preorder in store with a deposit of $25.

Re: PlayStation 4 Discussion

399 is unbelievable but I'm still waiting till spring. I just want to get through all the PS3 games coming out and the ones I have so I can make a clean break with my PS3. Plus that 399 in March/April won't hurt. 399 in November, however, has a bit of a sting in it with all the holiday buying for the kids and family.

Re: PlayStation 4 Discussion

Decided to place an order with Best Buy this morning. I'm not 100% convinced I'll be keeping it, but figured it wouldn't hurt to at least position myself to get a unit on day one if I do decide to make into next gen gaming this early in the game.

The $399.99 price point and no used game restrictions are the two major selling points for me. Being able to once again play MLB The Show again after missing out for the past 2 years helps make the decision easier as well.

Only costing $227 out of pocket because of store credit I had built up from trading in games. Haven't tried yet but I imagine I could use my Best Buy Reward Zone certificates to pre-order an extra control too which would be lovely.

Guess it comes down to how I feel after summer is over.

Re: PlayStation 4 Discussion

I pre-ordered last night.

I had planned on waiting a year or so after launch, and may eventually follow through with that plan, but the hype got me. I figure I might as well preorder now to keep my options open.
