PS4: $399.99 at launch

Just heard this from a friend on Facebook who was watching their conference. If I own my games for it (I need this confirmed beyond "plays used games" as per Microsoft's trickiness), I'm sold ... when a price drop happens, and I have the money to spend on consoles.

Edit: Never mind. Buuuuurn.

I am even more sold after the video he just shared with me, posted above.

I will only have enough for one console at Christmas. It will be the PS4. For 400 bucks that is one hell of a console. See,Sony can learn from mistakes of the past!

And troll the hell out of Microsoft while they're at it! lol

Pre-ordering?

That is precisely how much I want Kingdom Hearts 3, even if it takes a couple of years.

Got it

Super Step Contributing Writer

Sony: simple.

Patrick Kijek Contributing Writer

06/10/2013 at 11:38 PM

Only question is how many

Super Step Contributing Writer

06/10/2013 at 11:40 PM

How many what? I are not follow.

Patrick Kijek Contributing Writer

06/11/2013 at 12:02 AM

How many do I buy?

Super Step Contributing Writer

In my case, I just want One. Wait, that's confusing.

OMG! Sony is jumping on these Xbox One reactions with a vengeance! I love it! A true console battle at last! Let the best company win! 

$400 is my number for a new console. So far the PS4 is ahead in my mind.

I think, in the words of NSonic79, they are "curbstomping" the competition, at least if you are not swayed by Microsoft exclusives like Halo, etc. Honestly, if Killer Instinct is a One exclusive, I'm disappointed, cause I won't be able to play it. I'm definitely not buying a One now, unless they change course to follow Sony's lead.

I'm not so crazy about Halo anymore. I haven't even finished Halo 4 yet.

I am interested in this Crimson Skies reboot, however, but it's still not enought to sell me the system. I'm not sure what will be, but I'll know it when I see it.

Whoo! A console that learnt from it's past mistakes as opposed to trying to fuck everyone over! What a joy to see! I like Microsoft, but I don't see them making it to the next generation.

Super Step Contributing Writer

They apparently can change their DRM policies etc. at any time. If that's true, they better unfuck themselves quick.

Well good for Sony. I hope the best for them because I want some better games for my Vita and if the PS4 helps that then I am for it. I just will not buy a PS4.

Super Step Contributing Writer

06/11/2013 at 02:54 PM

Yeah, that it may do, especially if they find ways to integrate PS4 and Vita.

Very tempted to buy day 1 at this price. In all reality i'll prob stick with the ps3 for another year until the ps4 gains steam. Exciting times though

Super Step Contributing Writer

06/11/2013 at 02:55 PM

Same. It's tempting, my wallet just won't allow it as far as I know.

The Xbox One could do $399...if not for the required Kinect packed in. I'm definitely liking that $100 price difference. Will I get one right away? Probably not. I've got a backlog of awesome games as it is and a distressingly light wallet, so I'll probably wait lol

Super Step Contributing Writer

06/11/2013 at 02:56 PM

I brought that up to a friend yesterday. I think MS could about face on their DRM-y crap, decide to release a Kinect-less set, and regain some traction. For now though, I'm definitely rooting for Sony.

Sony totally destroyed M$ at E3. I don't really plan on buying one, but it's nice to know that the option is there. Who wants a system that imposes so many restrictions and in the end will be nothing more than a useless brick? I'm curious to see what happens when these systems launch. I can hear the crickets surrounding the Xbone already lol. Tongue Out

Super Step Contributing Writer

Sadly, the cricket box is where Killer Instinct went. Dammit.

Been hearing of Sony giving Microsoft a beat. I don't know if i'll get a PS4, but as far as I see, glad to see Sony didn't follow Microsoft rules and gave them a good slap to the face with that video.

Super Step Contributing Writer

06/11/2013 at 09:28 PM

Yup.

Halochief90

Yeah, it's pretty clear to see which console is the one to own if you actually value the ownership games. And Sony didn't express that with a bunch of boring powerpoint slides this time!

I guess one setback for you would be the lack of PS3 backwards compatibility. Since you've missed out on all those games.

Super Step Contributing Writer

06/12/2013 at 11:12 AM

I'll either buy a first run PS3 that works, or just live. I could honestly care less about that at this point, I'm not that upset about skipping a generation. So yeah, PS4 all the way if I buy anything. lol

I was sold with their conference. I love how they dug the knife into microsoft over and over about the no restrictions. Hopefully getting it for my birthday!

Super Step Contributing Writer

06/12/2013 at 11:12 AM

That would be a great bday present!

My gut insticts tell me Microsoft will drop the price by the end of 2014. They pretty much have to if they wish to compete. Halo and COD fans alone cannot make it a huge success. Nor will fans of fantasy football leagues and The Price Is Right.

To be fair, apparently a lot of women aged 18-54 are really digging The Price is Right this year. I am absolutely certain all of them will want and not be put off by the policies of Xbox One.

And COD fanboys can go PS4. Halo fanboys on the other hand ... can go PS4 when it comes to PS4 like MGSV went to One.

It has been decided. the PS4 is awesome. That is all.

lol I guess so. Still waiting on buying one until after the holidays at least I think, but they made E3 a fun ride with that comeback.
