If it's a newer model one and you do a trade towards a select item (like NCAA) you'll get 195.00

This question might have been answered already but are PS3 and PS4 on the same Playstation Network? I know that PS+ accounts carry over but what about those people who don't get a PS4? Are all of their gamertags still taken?

It's the same PSN ID/login for all Sony devices (PS3, PS4, PS Vita, PSP) and for their services such as Music Unlimited and Video Unlimited. Similar to how Microsoft uses the same gamertag/login for their other services like Outlook and Skydrive.

If you don't have a PSN ID yet, you can create an account on your computer to reserve a PSN ID for yourself if you're going to be getting a PS4 in the future.

Re: PlayStation 4 Discussion

In an interview on GTTV, Vince Zampella gives some pretty major hints that TitanFall will be coming to PS4. It's not an official confirmation as such, but the wording here seems to heavily imply that Microsoft only managed to secure it as a timed exclusive.

Geoff Keighley: PlayStation nation is going to have to wait for TitanFall?

Vince Zampella: That's right. At launch we're gonna be on Xbox One, 360 and PC.

Geoff Keighley: Just at launch? Does that mean that TitanFall could come to other platforms?

Vince Zampella: Um... All we're talking about is, you know, we're focused on getting the game out at launch, making it the best and most fun it can be. Anything after that, we'll have to focus on later.

I forget where exactly I read this (probably Eurogamer), and it wasn't anything concrete or verified, but it was implied that Microsoft gave Respawn a cash lifeline to fight Activision's lawsuit in exchange for their first game being an xbox one exclusive.

If that's the case, Titanfall and Destiny are going to keep me in sci-fi heaven next year.

Sony had a chance to get Titanfall as an exclusive as much as MS did. Respawn choice MS because MS has the Cloud Infrastructure to allow for both "Cloud Computing" & "Dedicated Servers" via the Azure Cloud Program (Datacenters) Sony doesn't have that ability right now, as Gaiki is a Game Streamimg "Cloud Service"

Yes it may come to the PS4, my guess is that ain't happening until Sony has an Infrastructure of what MS is offering them right now.

I'm pretty sure MS also paid them a nice piece of $, but no where have I read it's a "Cash Lifeline"

Thinking about geting a new TV to go along with my PS4. Are LCD TV's really that bad for gaming with the low refresh rates?

Re: PlayStation 4 Discussion

My guess is that Titanfall will come later rather than sooner. Kind of like how Mass Effect 2 came late to the PS3. I am fine with that; it will give me something to look forward to.

Online only game doesn't really do anything for me regardless.

Microsoft's "cloud" is nothing new, all they're really providing developers is an alternative, cheap option for scalable dedicated servers. Sony has multiple exclusives on the PS3 that have been using the "power of the cloud" for years. None of the things in Respawn's description of how Microsoft's cloud is different from other cloud service providers is even unique to Microsoft's cloud specifically. The same exact things can be said of any of the cloud service providers. Microsoft's PR is making it sound like the cloud infrastructure isn't possible or isn't being used on other platforms, when that's just not true.

Microsoft is simply pushing this "infinite power of the cloud" business because they have a pretty significant hardware disadvantage. It's gotten so bad that a Microsoft executive was quoted as saying that hardware specs between the two systems are meaningless. Then finished up that interview with, and this is a direct quote, "Did you see Call of Duty, it looks f*cking awesome!" While I agree with that executive that games matter more, it's a bit disingenuous to say outright that hardware differences don't matter to people considering a purchase between two consoles.

I wouldn't be surprised if cloud computing is being used as a trojan horse for the always online "feature". Because if every game uses the power of the cloud, then every game is always online. Just look at Titanfall, even if it did have a single player mode, it would still be an "online only" game.
