[quote]A new rumor suggests that PlayStation 4 is due this November and will be available at two price points. According to Kotaku, anonymous sources say the PlayStation 4 is currently planned for two SKUs at $429 and $529 respectively, though “that could change.” The source also suggests that “you'll also be able to control the PS4 remotely from your tablet or smartphone. You'll be able to use a mobile device to chat with your PS4 friends or buy games which are then automatically downloaded to your machine.” The second half of that rumor seems to be in line with Sony’s recent changes to the accessibility of the PlayStation Store, which expanded to browsers last month.[/quote] [url=http://www.ign.com/articles/2013/02/19/playstation-4-price-release-date-reportedly-outed]READ MORE[/url] [url=http://kotaku.com/5985356/source-the-ps4-will-be-out-this-november-and-youll-be-able-to-control-it-with-your-phone]ALT SOURCE[/url]
429 U.S. DOLLARS
[QUOTE=Mr_Awesome;39651202]429 U.S. DOLLARS[/QUOTE] way lower than the PS3 at launch.
[QUOTE=OP]rumour[/QUOTE] What the fuck, this shit needs to stop.
With that kind of money I could significantly upgrade my computer. I know prices will drop over time, but I guess I have been taking the recent years' $299 price points for granted.
Rumor AKA a load of bullshit greg miller dreamed about while he was jacking off and IGN posted so they could cash in on the "rumors" craze.
[QUOTE=Mr. Tripp;39651213]What the fuck, this shit needs to stop.[/QUOTE] You should know by now that "reportedly" is synonymous with "rumored" :v:
[QUOTE=Mr. Tripp;39651213]What the fuck, this shit needs to stop.[/QUOTE] quality gaming "journalism"
[QUOTE=Mr_Awesome;39651202]429 U.S. DOLLARS[/QUOTE] I think it will be rounded down to 400
I will wait for a price drop, by then there should be a good lineup of games to play. Look how the WiiU ended up.
I just heard a rumor that the ps4 plays xbox720 games! I'm serious!
[QUOTE=koeniginator;39651260]You should know by now that "reportedly" is synonymous with "rumored" :v:[/QUOTE] No, what I'm saying is that they need to stop saying whatever the fuck they want just by adding the word rumour somewhere in the title so that they get money and people spread it around, share their thoughts and then immediately forget about it when the next rumour comes around that's completely different.
So, the better, more powerful console is rumored to be going for less than the older, weaker console went for at launch? I mean, I know technology improves over time, but this sounds a little drastic.
A new rumor suggests that if we wait until tomorrow, most of our questions will be answered, so we don't have to look like dumbasses by making completely random and arbitrary assumptions based on bullshit we hear from random people off the street! More at 11
[QUOTE=Mr. Tripp;39651213]What the fuck, this shit needs to stop.[/QUOTE] There are very little in terms of market projections for that quarter.. How can they even give a rough price on the unit? Is it based on the components, or the market? I strongly dislike rumours.. Pure speculation.
[QUOTE=Chase827;39651235]With that kind of money I could significantly upgrade my computer. I know prices will drop over time, but I guess I have been taking the recent years' $299 price points for granted.[/QUOTE] However, you also get the advantage of devs who will become very familiar with PS4's particular hardware, which means that games will become incredibly optimized for the hardware and awesome.
[QUOTE=Mr. Tripp;39651213]What the fuck, this shit needs to stop.[/QUOTE] It needs to but it won't because all this rumour bullshit attracts alot of crowd and revenue.

The PS3 cost about $900 to produce at launch, so while $599 sounds like a lot, it's still marked down.
Controllable with smartphones... Them touch controls suck but using it as an alternate display and an input method (for typing, selecting stuff, etc.) is pretty cool. It's like a more useful Wii U controller but in variable sizes.

If they did integrate smartphones controls it could be like to turn on/off simple stuff, old SE phones had the ability to mirror/turn on/off the PS3.

I like the idea of seeing your friends game in the background, however I hate the idea of them watching me play.
[QUOTE=Panda Jerk;39652063]I like the idea of seeing your friends game in the background, however I hate the idea of them watching me play.[/QUOTE] You can most likely turn that off, spectate mode in game or like actually watching you physically play on your couch/comfy place of choice?

A ~450 dollar pricetag isn't really that bad considering you probably get a machine that will be supported for the next 5 years or so?
