Well, 12:01am came and Amazon had their launch editions of the PS4 available to order. I was so tempted to click that order button, but instead passed up on it. So now I will wait until February or March or so to pick one up. By then though, a lot of the bugs that gets associated with a new system release should be taken care of.

March 21st an Infamous Second Son PS4 bundle is coming out. Unless Watch_Dogs or Uncharted happen to be coming out sooner, I think that will be the version of the PS4 I buy.

I was tempted to order a PS4 from Newegg but all they had was bundles and the cheapest was $749 and that came with stuff I didn't need nor wanted so I'll wait. However on December 5th I get 25% off so I'm tempted to buy a PS4 then but I think I'll wait for that inFamous bundle to come out and get that like Kain. I don't see Uncharted coming out sooner since it was JUST annouced.

Rockstar Games has shared additional details on what’s coming to Playstation 4, Xbox One, and Windows this fall. There will be new wildlife, such as cats and hammerhead sharks, better foliage, more traffic, and more details on vehicles, including interiors and cockpit view. There will be new jobs, weapons, vehicles, properties, and player customizations.

Well, I said if they were to announce GTAV for the PS4 I would go out and buy one right away, and that is exactly what I did.

[Tom R VanSlambrouck]

I'm waiting till December to get mine. There will be an extra bonus on top of what we already get as a thank you for working Thanksgiving and/or Black Friday. Last year it was 25% this year it could be higher. So that's when I'll get my PS4. I'll get it along with a copy of inFamous and maybe Killzone.

What's going to get me to get a PS4 is what got me to get a PS3. Metal Gear. Although I still may wait for a price drop. But I know aroud/after The Phantom Pain drops, I'll probably be getting a PS4.

I have mixed feelings on Peace Walker. It had a good story (well except for the creepy segments with Paz), but the gameplay was crap because the boss battles were a b*tch since they were made with multiplayer in mind. It took me forever to beat them on my first run. Well, I say first run, but I really only played the game through once. It's just that I had to fight those ****ers over to get Metal Gear parts, which really padded out the end of the game unnecessarily.

I refuse to even acknowledge Revengeance.

BTW, I spent the day playing Tomb Raider on the PS4. The game is pretty damn awesome outside of Lara having her character shields set to max. I swear, there were like five instances so far where she should have died or had broken bones to the point where she couldn't even move. Killing things with the bow and arrow is awesome, but the stealth mechanic is not the greatest.

[Tom R VanSlambrouck]

You never played TR on the PS3 Kain?

Well I just 100%ed Tomb Raider. It was awesome as a whole despite there being points of frustration and Lara's ever invincibility when it comes not not dying. I do wish the enemies would respawn in areas though as there are trophies I still need that I did not learn about until I was right at the end of the game. Anyway, aside from the character shield thing and the lack of being able to crouch at will, this is by far the best Tomb Raider ever and its story was quite good. If I were to compare the game to make it simple, I would say this game is like Far Cry 3 meets Uncharted. Overall, I give it a solid 8/10. Oh, and I also love how you can change Lara's outfit and it actually stays changed even in the cut scenes.

WTF?! Now Sony is cranking up the stupid????

First, Now should be free to anyone with a Plus account.

Secondly, the games should be free if you already own their physical copies!!!!

Third, $5 for FOUR HOURS!!!!

[XvGojira]

Dats quazy.

I'm not sure I agree that it should be completely free for PS+ members, a discount at least. But for streaming rentals of "old gen" games those prices are nuts. Rent 6 games at FFXIII-2's price for 3-months and you're just $20 and tax shy of getting a brand new PS3. Why not do a redbox thing and do like $1 a day, $5 for a week. I could even see paying $30 to "buy" the game for unlimited streaming or what ever. That would make some sense, even if it is still kind of expensive. But if you compare the prices to the cheapest "used" it's always going to look expensive.

Hope Sony sorts this out, it could be something awesome but right now it's totally borked.

[Tom R VanSlambrouck]

These are just test prices I'm sure they won't be indictive of what the final service will be.

On that note I'll probably be getting a PS4 in a couple of weeks. I can get one on Newegg without a bundle now and I wouldn't have to make any payments till next year on due to them having new finicing offers on my Newegg credit card. I'll probably just get inFamous right now and maybe Killzone.
