    Re: Sony PlayStation Meeting Discussion Thread

    It doesn't make sense to say there will 'never' be exclusives for either of these new consoles. Too definitive, and too limiting.

    MS has already said as much - http://www.gamespot.com/articles/som.../1100-6440815/

    Sony hasn't announced theirs yet so we'll see, but can expect similar statements.

        you might see indies exclusive to Scorpio but for the first couple of years at least MS will not allow exclusives due to their promise...They are not trying to brush aside early adopters after just 4 years

        Same with NEO.....

        I want exclusives for both consoles because that is what I want but many that have not even jumped to next gen are going to not want to spend or feel they are left behind.

        Remember PS4 has sold about half of what ps3 did and xb1 even less.

        MS and SONY have to be careful here in how they handle it

          Alright so I know this is a longshot and not likely, but I just have to ask because I am a little kid at Christmas when it comes to electronics and I can't wait to be PS4ing again.

          IF, just saying, IF Sony pulles an Apple and drops uh "the Slim is available RIGHT NOWWWWW!!!!!" at the conference tomorrow, will stores be selling the consoles when they open tomorrow or will they start selling them after the conference ends? I have never bought an iphone day 1 so so I dunno how it works.

          Sorry for the dumb questions

            It's not a dumb question and the Slim being available "now" is definitely a possibility but it depends on if all the stores in NA already received their shipments. I'm thinking that the majority of stores haven't received them simply because if they did, you would be seeing it all leaked already. If I had to guess, stores will receive their shipments later this week after the PlayStation Meeting occurs.

            I know that you're hyped and excited to own a PS4 again but if NEO is a month or so after the Slim, wouldn't it be better to wait and get the console that you prefer to have more? Even if you buy the Slim and trade it in towards NEO, you're still going to lose some money unless of course, that's not a concern and if that's the case, then disregard this paragraph.

              My thinking is this.

              Again, keep in mind I am a compulsive spender with very little-to-no willpower. It already took all my self control not to out and buy an Xbox S Madden Bundle the other day. The only way I was able to hold off on it was convincing myself that Slim/NEO are coming VERY soon hopefully, and that with the Play Anywhere deal launching on Xbox soon I will be able to play a lot of great Xbox games on my decent PC.

              Let's say PS4 Slim launches next week for 250. Then NEO launches 3-5 weeks later for 450 or whatever.

              I would like to think I could get at least 175-200 bucks on Craigslist/Ebay for the slim console, which I will keep everything (packaging and whatnot) and will be barely used, I won't even fire it up with the original hard drive (will use my own SSD) so whoever gets it will be like booting it up for the first time. That extra 50-75 bucks I lose will be worth it, spread out over that 3-5 weeks waiting for the NEO, as basically a "rental fee" I paid to get gaming again while waiting for NEO.

              Not sure if that makes sense or not. In my head it does, but I don't always articulate my writing very well.

                Don't you have 30 days to return it to Best Buy, 45 if you're an elite memeber? I'd just return the thing given the option.

                    It won't be able to hot-swap... you will have to back-up and restore. Just as you would with a new OG PS4 or Slim. Other than that, everything should work just like a swapping a drive from PS4 to PS4.

                      At Best Buy, it is 15 days for regular customers, 30 days for Elite, and 45 for Elite Plus.

                            I like what Colin said from Kinda Funny... "just go away until you are done, enough with all these damned demos, it is getting ridiculous".

                            Save it for TGS if anything, but I would rather they shush till launch.

                              If you think about it, it could be a cool demo as far as showing a game that had reported performance issues at every showing, seems to be incredibly graphically intensive, and show it running smooth and noticeably better than ever.

                              Who knows, just thinking out loud.

                              I feel ya. Definitely just curious as to how they plan on showing the performance boost most clearly. Guess we will find out soon enough!

                                Those who played it at GamesCom said it was actually running and playing better than expected. Visually, FFXV looks very good. It's all the other stuff that's been a problem with the game. First half is open world, second half is linear. Stuff that either makes no sense, is confusing or just been bad. Pretty sure it's been announced for TGS so to show it back to back conferences would be a mistake. Like Colin said, just go away until the game is done and like him, I wouldn't be surprised to see the game get delayed to next year. I really believe that the Meeting will be shorter rather than longer with them showcasing their "own" games.
