Fuck it, I ordered. No idea if I'll keep it but whatever.
Just go to amazon, free release day arrival with prime.
Microsoft just got bodied.
I really thought they were gonna pull some weaselly "leave it up to the publishers" bullshit with DRM, but no, they were pretty unambiguous about not having it. Now MS pretty much has to back down, the only question is when.
Yup pre-ordered on Amazon as well, easier to cancel if I change my mind.
Sony's presentation was poor in comparison but they just sealed the deal - probably for this generation - with their used-game stance and that price. MS fucked up going to $500, their hubris will be their downfall.
(Hopefully that PS4 price isn't a misleading number for some kind of seriously gimped model.)
Given how much cheaper that price is than building a gaming PC, the thought of buying a PS4 instead sometime in the future has now entered my mind. I still think Sony is run by idiot monkeys though and I want to play Titanfall.
But credit to Sony for generating enough value and goodwill, using Microsoft as a foil, to comfortably see them through locking PS4 online play behind a paywall. Excellent calculated move.
Amazon pre order as well.
I don't even want it that bad, but Sony is doing ( almost) everything I want, so I gotta support them.
I'm pretty sure the price difference is explained by making the stupid motion-control camera optional. Imagine that!
Yeah but now people will use PS4 to watch movies with too many people in the room. Content creators are fucked without Kinect!
