Placeholder info regarding PS4 system and games will be humorous. Amazon using March 3, 2020 release date for console.
Considering the PS3 has 256 MB, I'm very happy.Quote:

IGN:
Sony spent a lot of time at its Future of Playstation conference explaining in detail how Playstation Vita owners will be able to utilize their handheld as another option for experiencing Playstation 4 games.
On stage, other platforms like Apple's iPhone and iPad and Android handsets were only mentioned in passing. But in Sony Computer Entertainment's official press release more details were provided on what iOS and Android users have in store for them:
"A new application from SCE called 'PlayStation App' will enable iPhone, iPad, and Android- based smartphones and tablets to become second screens. Once installed on these devices, users can, for example, see maps on their second screens when playing an adventure game, purchase PS4 games while away from home and download it directly to the console at home, or remotely watch other gamers playing on their devices."
The news sounds very similar to Microsoft's SmartGlass initiative, announced at E3 2012.
Specific examples and availability details are not yet available. Sony will presumably have more to say about the second screen functionality in key PS4 titles as the console approaches its late 2013 launch.

Well that's nice. Hoping the app will be free but even if not I would drop some change for that. EA could use it to show the live stats/box scores from games while you play Live 3017 :nod:Quote:

Sony has confirmed that the PlayStation 4 will be powered by a custom 8-core AMD "Jaguar" x86-64 with integrated graphics APU and "next-generation" AMD Radeon graphics processor capable of driving 1.84 teraflops. As detailed at the event, it will come paired with 8GB of dedicated GDDR5 memory, making it competitive with most gaming-focused PCs on the market. As expected, the system will ship with a Blu-ray drive, built-in 80.211 b/g/n Wi-Fi, Bluetooth 2.1, as well as HDMI, Analog-AV, and optical digital output. Sony is giving I/O options a boost with the inclusion of USB 3.0 ports and a mysteriously vague "AUX" port. Each system will ship a "Mono Headset" for cross-game chat and other social features.
What's more, we've gained new insight into the DualShock 4. As we know, the controller sports an integrated touch pad, headset jack, share button, and LED player identifier, but we've now learned that the touch pad features a mechanical button and supports "capacitive type." In addition to the obvious size and ergonomic changes, the DualShock 4 is expectedly gaining a bit of weight, going from 6.77 ounces on the DualShock 3 to 7.4 ounces on the DualShock 4. In addition to helping track a player for motion-based controls, the built-in LED can also be used to represent in-game elements, like a player's overall health.
Details were remarkably scant at the event regarding the PlayStation 4 Eye, which has been revealed as having a 1280x800 pixel sensor capable of capturing video at 60 frames-per-second — a significant gain over the Kinect's 640x480 30fps sensor. It can also be used to automatically detect players, though Sony hasn't detailed the exact application of the feature.
wonder if my uber expensive/nice Astro A40s will work on this new PS4? I believe the 360 aso has an audio jack on its controller. Crosses fingers.Quote:

I understand the need to get as many stories, with as many details, out to the public, but IGN is just a disaster right now with half-done articles and other articles that say, in a few paragraphs, what could easily be included in a single larger article.Quote:

yeah i thought so but i'm not that tech savy. would much rather use the A40s than whatever cheap headset Sony puts in the box with the system.Quote:

Now THAT looks good.
wonders if this "spectate" mode or whatever would apply to movies as well? wanna watch a movie with your buddy but he lives across the country no problem.
Yeah how much was the Elgato? although I suppose I can still use it on my PC and use it to record t.v. shows if i were to get a t.v. tuner on my p.c.Quote:
