Interesting, but a lower than expected price and intriguing design haven't sold me. I'll need official word on how the system compared to Xbone (always on internet, always on kinect, etc) before I decide.chozo_hybrid said:$549 in Australia actuallyhttp://www.kotaku.com.au/2013/06/sony-australian-confirms-local-ps4-price/
Here in new Zealand we get another hundred on top of that though... So $650 NZD, that said, it's still $100 less then the Xbox One.
No DRM logging online every 24 hours to play BS and the camera is not compulsory from what they said today, hope that helps.008Zulu said:Interesting, but a lower than expected price and intriguing design haven't sold me.

It's hard to tell just from the pictures but by the looks of it, it won't waste more space than the XBone.Braedan said:First thought: Well, it?s interesting...
Second though: Wait, won?t this shape make it a ***** to put on your shelf?
Why would Sony make the system purposefully wasteful of space? Maybe I?m in the minority, but every cm counts on my TV table....
And also this.Benedict said:Guys, that's not what a rhombus is. The bisecting diagonals of a rhombus are perpendicular, and its sides are all congruent- the PS4 is just an ordinary parallelogram- or rather, since it's three-dimensional, a parallelepiped.
This was more creative: http://uda3mau.blogspot.com/2012/09/new-ps4-concept-design-welcome-to-future.htmlArithianFlame said:I fail to understand all the hate on the Playstation's shape of all things. It's big, powerful, and I'd assume heat-flow was a large factor. And lets face it, how many options are there if you want a flat top and bottom? It all honesty I find it better looking than the xBOX. At least it's sort of creative.
$399, £349.99Mr.Mattress said:Man, that thing looks really really awkward... And it is just a black box...
Do we know the price though?
Because that's the way things usually go with hardware prices. It was the same with the Xbone as well, however on the bright side the Xbone is $170 more expensive over here, but the PS4 is only around $112 more expensive than the US price. Either way £349 is an absolutely incredibly price if you ask me and they may just have tempted me into actually joining this console generation.CardinalPiggles said:Whaaaat?349 Pounds in the UK.
A direct conversion from $399 is £256 according to my desktop gadget. Why is it nearly £100 more expensive in the UK?
Have you seen any PC cases lately? They're frequently white, transparent, or lit up with neon lights. Also, the PS3 comes in red or white as well as black. And apart from the just announced (but not available yet) new Mac Pro, you can't even buy an Apple computer that's black. They're all aluminium.Roxor said:Why does damn near everything seem to be in black these days? About the only exceptions I can think of off the top of my head are the WiiU and a couple of smartphones. PC cases? Black, black, and more black. Enough! Give us some variety!
