Paid my PS4 off. Came out to $431.92. Haven't reserved any games yet, waiting to see if anything else pops up for launch. Debating on a second controller.

Damn, I might have to pre-order one soon, I think demand is going to be pretty high.

No worries about the design at all? I'm not one for purchasing hardware at launch, despite wanting and being able to afford PS4 right this minute. The small, compact design worries me. Is there any airflow inbetween the layers they got going on there?

The rear vents are pretty meaty looking. I think ventilation won't be an issue.

It's a PC... and not a super fast one either... my i7 is overclocked massively and still runs fine on the stock fan as does the GFX card next to it. I don't think it will be a problem really at all, though it will probally be louder than the XBONE becasue the XBONE uses one big fan, and it looks like the PS4 will user smaller ones (smaller fans make more noise than bigger ones).

I'll take the risk.

Playstation 4 Facts: Some yall already know, some maybe not.

Announced PS4 Features
The PS4 allows people to resume games instantly upon turning on the system (no startup time) from where they were when they turned the system off.
All PS4 games (that aren't camera-based) should be playable remotely on Day 1 via Remote Play on the PS Vita.
The PS4 will allow users to play games after downloading only a small portion of the game's data.
Gamers can charge the DualShock 4 controller while PS4 is on standby.
Share button functionality allows for quick screenshots or video upload of gameplay as well as sharing live streams of gameplay with friends or over USTREAM.
Users will be able to take remote control of friends games to help them through tough spots and such.
The system will launch with a headset that plugs directly into the controller for more prevalent voice communication across the PSN.
Cross-game chat is officially supported.
Game prices will range from $0.99-$59.99.
All PS4 games will be available as digital downloads.
NVIDIA is supporting the PS4 with Apex and PhysX developer support.
The PS4 will support Move but not the DualShock 3.
A PlayStation app called 'PlayStation App' is coming to Android and iOS that allows the device to act as a second screen (a la SmartGlass) as well as purchase content and have it directly downloaded to your system. It stands to reason that this will also include messaging on the go and other stuff like that.
The PS4 will support 4K video output but not for games.
A 4K video service will be coming to the PS4.
The PS4 is 3D capable but it is not a focus.
Certain apps can run in the background of games (such as the web browser) so you can access them without having to leave the game itself.
The DualShock 4 Touchpad resolution is 1920x900.
The controller light-bar colors are the Player Numbers: 1-Blue, 2-Red, 3-Green, 4-Pink (like the PlayStation button colors). They also can be used for muzzle flashes, health indicators, etc.
The PS4 raises your friends list limit.
For PS4/Vita Remote Play, the screens are always mirrored, so you can start at any time. There is no special mode required.
The GDDR5 bus is 256 bit.
Your real name is not displayed by default unless you import from a social network.
8 cores, 8 HW threads, 2MiB L2 cache per 4 core group, 32kib l1 I/D-cache
PlayStation Shader Language, very similar to HLSL, allows features beyond Direct X 11 and OpenGL 4.0
A long press of the 'Share' button takes a screenshot.
'Share' button functionality (screenshots, video recording) can be disabled by developers at certain moments in the game (like at the final boss for example).
The used game policies for the PS4 will remain the same as the PS3. You can still trade in games at retail, sell them, lend them, or keep them forever.
An intenet connection is absolutely not requried to operate the PS4 or play single-player games.
Online multiplayer on the PS4 requires a PlayStation Plus subscription. Apps like Netflix and the web browser will still not require PlayStation Plus.
A single PlayStation Plus account will allow all accounts on a PS4 to play online.
The PS4 will launch with a 500 GB HDD.
The PS4's HDD is fully upgradable just like the PS3's
The PS4 Eye (camera) will not be included with the console.
The PS4 will be region-free like the PS3.
The PS4 will have 20 first-party excluvice titles in the first 12 months and currently has 30 in production for the system.
Gaikai streaming of PS3 games will be available on the PS4 and PS3 in 2014 and on the Vita at some point after.
The PlayStation 4 will cost $399.99, €399, or £349 at launch depending on region. The controller and camera will each cost $59.99 as accessories.

Features NOT Supported on PS4

The PS4 is not natively backwards compatible. and thus cannot play PS3 games by default. However, to remedy this Sony has invested heavily in cloud gaming and hopes to have a cloud-based solution to allow for PS3 games on the PS4 as well as other devices.
The PS4 will not support the DualShock 3.
The PS4 will not support CDs or SACDs.
The DualShock 4 will not have pressure sensitive buttons (unlike the PS2 and PS3).

Missing Stuff So Far

When will it launch?
Backwards Compatibility Questions (Gaikai Cloud Streaming)
Will one's PSN purchase history will carry over to the cloud gaming service?
Will we be able to insert a disc and access the cloud version of that game while the disc is in the system.
Will the cloud gaming service will require an additional charge (or even tiered charges) or just allow for game purchases?




Game Install Size - Will the PS4 still require double the memory of a game to install it like it does on the PS3?
Will trophies instantly sync on PS4 like achievements do on Xbox 360?
What will be the new friends list limit (if any)?

>Pink colour is for Player 4.

Welp, I'm gonna be assigning my 'roller to Player 4 at all times. :3

My main disappointment right now is that you have to pay for online play now.

Then maybe you should stop buying games? :p

With all the fancy stuff I see you buy, you can afford $5.

I can, but my problem is that I would maybe play online a few hours a year, and the money would be wasted for the remaining time. I wouldn't use the other features either, such as free PS Plus games.

While that's true, I also remember you said you don't really play MP anyway so why's it an issue? :p

It's not a big issue, but I did play some PW with baldgye, so something like that would be more of a problem. But in any case, I don't play much mp so it's not a big deal for me.

You bought a WiiU at launch... yet $5 a month on something you'll never use is a 'problem' ??? LOL

Ugh.

I wonder if we'll be able to modify our PSN IDs for a price or whatever.

I didn't say it's a problem. Only a disappointment. But Sony did everything else right, so I'm not complaining.

For a better online service it's only fair
