Looks like one of these :D
http://stream1.gifsoup.com/view5/247...a-driver-o.gif
Looks like a "futuristic" 80s sci-fi machine of some type. Good lord, I hope it doesn't look like that. :smh:
Really? To each his own but I really don't care what it looks like as long as it works well and doesn't crash within the first 5 months like the 5 Xbox 360's I had.
Typed by thumbs.
Yep. I never got the "anger" at Sony for not showing the box during the initial presser. If it doesn't give me RROD and works as it is supposed to at launch I do not care what it looks like.
Sony's stock is up 9% since the reveal of Xbox One. Investors not phased apparently by One.
Not that anyone here thought otherwise but per Pasta Padre:
Madden NFL 25, UFC, NBA Live 14, and FIFA 14 all confirmed for both the Xbox One and PS4. So no full exclusivity involved.
EDIT: IGN also confirming this

I knew it would be exclusive DLC. It's good in a way that the games will be available for everyone, but it's also bad in the sense that Microsoft still thinks this is the way to go. Congrats, Microsoft, for getting 3 people in the world to buy an Xbox over a PS because of the Ultimate Team for FIFA.
Pasta Padre probably speculating but believes PS4 will have same "fee" with used games as One.
IMHO Sony shouldn't go that route. But perhaps the lawyer in me just wants to see an all out war.
If they both go this route the status quo remains. If Sony wants to win the war used games might be the only way to pull out a clear victory.
Yeah, but I think you're viewing from a customer stand point. Think about it from a corporation stand point. What makes a gaming console attractive to consumers? Games. Who makes the vast majority of the games? 3rd party publishers. What can we do to make sure our 3rd party publishers are happy and wanting to support us? Make sure they're making as much money on our system as possible. How do we do that? Eliminate used games and make money on every game purchased.
This is one area in which Microsoft and Sony are united. They need to keep their publishers happy, and in order to do that, they need to eliminate used games. Besides, the writing has been on the wall for quite awhile. I kind of chuckled when EA said they were eliminating online passes - I knew what that REALLY meant the second I read about it.
PS4 v. One Specs Comparison:

Good lord, that looks even worse than the previous mock-up. :sick:
I don't think either one of them are close. At least I hope not. Of course, after seeing Microsoft's VCR yesterday, I guess it's possible. :smh:
It's gonna look bad. No way around it. (shrugs)
Yep. I don't care what One looks like and I don't care what PS4 looks like. I want them to play video games and the occasional blue ray movie. So long as it doesn't have Obama's face all over the PS4 I'll take it. :nod:
Looks like a scaled down server
Score one for Sony.

We still don't know what Sony's policy even is on used games yet. Chances are, they're planning on doing something similarly to Microsoft, hence why they've been so quiet about it.
I don't know why everyone is up in arms about not having games at the Microsoft presser. They said ahead of time that the presser was a hardware showing and E3 would be a software showing. Do people not pay attention?
Because it's asinine to reveal a GAMING console and spend the entire hour talking about TV, music, apps, and how Kinect spies on you.
I mean, Sony only revealed a few exclusives, but it was something. Microsoft revealed a few titles that will be on other systems and then talked about how they're trying to take over the living room with TV services. Aside from Sony's 2006 E3 conference, I can't think of a worse one than the One's reveal.
Twitter Rises Up In Protest Over The PS4's Rumored Used Games DRM
Yesterday, GameTrailers TV host Geoff Keighley revealed that, according to his sources, the PlayStation 4 will employ some form of digital rights management when dealing with used games. Twitter's gamer community took it upon themselves to show Sony how bad an idea this is.
Spurred by Keighley's words, numerous gamers on Twitter are currently bombarding Sony with messages about the PS4's supposed used games DRM. The campaign was started by NeoGAF user famousmortimer who, in a forum thread, asked people to tweet several key Sony personnel, among them Worldwide Studios president Shuhei Yoshida, about their displeasure.
I have never bought a used game and I haven't rented a game since the Sega Genesis days. Personally, I couldn't care less if the ability to do so goes away - let the developers profit instead of GameStop.
I'm using Tapatalk 2 and the Cleveland Browns STILL suck.
I'm the exact opposite. I buy some used games and sell most of my games to make some money back. This is a big deal for me.
I get pretty tired of the whining some devs do over used game sales. I've heard people comparing it to stealing. Give me a break. Does Ford sue used car salesmen for them selling a used car and Ford not getting any kickbacks? Do they demand profits back? No! And a big part of that reason is that the profit made from selling a used car is used to buy a new car. It's a win-win and I think the idea that if you eliminated all used video game sales that all that extra money ends up in the first parties hands is very flawed. I don't mind taking a chance and buying some games I'm not completely sure on because if they aren't that good my loss isn't as bad. That $60 game can be flipped for $30 or $40 and my real cost is less than $30. Having to pay $60 for a new game and never being able to sell or trade it means I become even more frugal buying games for both myself and my kids.
Consoles going digital immediately means that Amazon and such can get into the digital distribution market for them, which means that prices will go down. It might not be an immediate thing, but it will happen. PC games used to be the same way as console games, but, slowly, there has been a switch in the market allowing games to be on sale more often, resulting in better prices all around.
