Likewise here. If they're smart and don't block used games then they can gladly have my money. If not, well I guess I could see how I like an XBox. So far it sounds interesting but that's the deal breaker for me right now.RJ 17 said:

Keep in mind though, all those social gimmicks like taking video footage, screenshots etc. consumes RAM. Question is, how much. And how much will developers have left to use for actual games when they have to account for all those things in advance when making the game?doggie015 said:
The stream is so awful. Sound cutting out, the chat constantly crashing and I can't log in because their servers are too busy.
Apparantly UStream will be integrated into the PS4, how nice, awful streaming directly from my console

Low power feature and recording footage just might be enough to pull me over to the PlayStation and away from Xbox (which would be amusing, since it was the X360 that converted me away from Nintendo...)
The online features? I don't see myself having a strong online console presence any time soon, so I'll give that a miss. And if it's anti-used games, I'm out.
Now I just want to see a price-tag. Because that's the other thing that's likely to leave me running for the hills.

*jumps into a game while friend is in the bathroom, drops a grenade at their feet and then goes offline*Still, while I'm impressed with the system (somewhat) I'm not fancying participating in this generation. Plus I'd need to see games.
Edit: Well, the playing as you download thing is neat, I've been thinking of that for years.
Wont PCs be able to catch up pretty quickly anyway? Say with 12GB or so of triple channel PC3-22400 for system memory and 4GB or more of GDDR5 on the graphics card? This stuff is already available on the market with the price almost dropping day by dayAdam Jensen said:

The standby feature will be awesome, the Vita has it and its one of the best thing about the console. You can just pause your game and shut it down with one button, then minutes, hours or even days later one button press will restart it exactly where you left off.
Of course. In fact, PS4 will probably already be technically outdated on release day. But a high end PC will be a lot more expensive than PS4. I mean, really, really significantly more expensive.J Tyran said:

"The PS4 will back the same CPU as the Xbox 720 but will have more powerful graphics. The beating heart of both consoles will come in the form of an AMD processor based on its forthcoming Jaguar CPU architecture. The chip packs eight cores (yay) but is clocked at a measly 1.6GHz (boooo). The main benefit of a setup like this is that the console will be very power efficient, meaning less draw and quieter operation, i.e. no need for any mahoosive, loud and invasive cooling fans."

It looks like they're trying to cover all of the popular bases right now. Let's play uploading by pushing a button on the controller. The Vita is your "controller with touchscreen" that the WiiU has, but it's actually portable and plays its own games. It has a stereo camera that looks an awful lot like the Kinect. 8 GB ram and simpler architecture to avoid things like buggy/problematic Bethesda ports. This...looks very promising. They're definitely on the pulse of what's popular right now, and Microsoft is going to have to put up something big. Nintendo has got to be sweating right now.
EDIT: That Killzone demo was scripted as fuck. I'm not falling for the same Killzone 2 pitch all over again. If that was a game it also looked incredibly boring : )

So...am I the only loser who thinks that the in built ability to record, screen cap and stream games is a fucking awesome idea?

Seriously though, as excited as I am about these specs, I agree with you. How in the world are they going to make a profit? I guess if maybe if they think they can sell it to the PC crowd for its power, but....that seems very unlikely. I have no idea. Anyone have any clue?
Not just you. They see how popular "let's plays" are and they're making it so that anybody can do it. No capture cards, editing software, just a button on the controller. They didn't develop this system in their fantasy bubble outside of the real gaming world this time, it seems.erttheking said:
