Sony fans remember this quote “The next gen doesn’t start until we say it does”, well boys and girls they mean business this time… unless you’ve been living under a rock, you should already know that the PlayStation 4 has been announced and its KICK ASS!!!! But the big question around the biz is how much and when, well LOT has your answer, Sony will be releasing two models. The base model will retail for $429, and the premium is slated for $529.
The Spec differences like Hard Drive space and such is still unclear but the pricing and release date is a fact. How did we get this information you asked… A little bird told us 
. Anyway, Considering the hardware specs, see pic below, those price points are actually very reasonable if you ask us. The system will be released November 17 2013 (United States), and the entire staff is counting the seconds. Just in case you missed some of the trailers we’ve compiled what was previewed yesterday.. Enjoy.

Too much of a focus on online-connectivity. In certain countries, like Autralia, the internet is not up “to speed” enough here for the majority of our citizens, thus it could be slightly handi-capped. See what happens. At least they realised where they went wrong with the PS3 (social aspects & actually working with developers this time). Interesting times. Especially having every PS game EVER available through downlaod eventuially.
Same in Italy, we are the last in Europe. Still that doesn’t change the fact that people with 10+ Mbps will enjoy the new network features. And they are may, probably the large majority. It is us to be far behind.
I’m sure they’ll accommodate countries with different overall network speeds.
It seems like they fixed all the shortcomings of the PS3:
“Allowing the developers imagination instead of hardware limitations dictate the quality of games…”
*No more memory limitations, fast memory, lots of memory
*Fast I/O
*Integrated CPU and GPU =(APU)
*Easy for developers to make games for (both big name developers and small independent persons/companies (hopefully)
*Hopefully they replaced the convex mushrooms on the L & R sticks with concave sticks like the 360
*A much improved on-line gaming, downloads, steaming, ect. without lots of latency and delays. For example, I have a 16+ Mbps download speed. I rented a 2 hour movie from Playstation store and it took me 3 hours to watch it due to all the buffering delays.
Hopefully, their Blu Ray player will have all the picture and sound options that other standalone Blu Ray players have. Yes SAMCHEZ, the PS3′s Blue Ray player only has the same picture and sound options you get with a standard DVD player. Hopefully with the PS4, you’ll get to cycle through sound and picture options like: Standard, Movie, Music, Clear Voice, Custom.
Everyone wins.
yeah, seem’s like they have actually “listened” to dev’s & fans for a change. They had no choice or die a fiery death! lol.
I actually don’t mind the convex thumb pads. I prefer them to the concave ones the “old” analogue contollers had back in the day. Personal choice though.
Kotaku reported this a day before the PS4 was revealed.

You slay me with that 8gb of GDDR5, Sony. Holy cow! I can forgive you now for not employing exotic architecture.
I see buying1999 changing his nickname in BoughtIn2013!!
lmfao!!!!!
The launch party I will have in November will be legendary lol. So far Watchdogs is my most anticipated launch game. Can’t wait to see more new IP’s at E3!(hopefully)
As soon as i seen the games especialy killzone i was sold,ive even ordered one from shopto.net for £388.87,but they state that the price can change anytime,But i dont care,i have to get me one of these,just hope it dont come out in say 3 months or so because i have no cash,lmao.
the ram was the big suprise to me, surley thats going to increase cost and decrease initial availabilty of the console, anyway if microsoft are using the slower ram thats rumored then it will find it hard to match ps4 [i will still buy it] it will all come down to costs for most folks and xbox has to bring some new ip onboard as theres little chance of halo 5 appearing at launch.
@HarryAndGem,Yes i agree it was a big suprise,And also i agree with the cost increas,But meany of us are willing to pay Hundreds of pounds for a new phone say every two to three years,And apart from playing angry birds on them there utter crap,that touch screen controle with the shitty reponce and feel of these things along with the small screen dont cut it for me,thats why i feel the need to kill the people who think these tablets and mobile/cell phones are the way forwards,Anyway,Paying a good price for a great gameing console after people like to waist money on thes shitty phones is realy no skin off my nose,If ther exspensive then so be it,I just have to save more.
@richie. amen to that, it never stops amusing me that people will queue up and pay silly money for iPad that’s obsolete in 3 months, I still think manufacture of this ram will cost Sony a bomb, but I’ve preordered ps4 because the one thing that resonated with me about there press conference was that it was a machine made by gamers for gamers with input from game makers, I can’t wait to get it, unfortunately I’m in UK and that probably means I have about 1 year to wait.
Thank you Lens of Truth!
Great article and great preview videos. It’s appreciated.
I second that!
I am totally in LOVE with that thing, the PS4. I a also a little worried, here’s why:
We do not know the specs for the next gen Xbox, but if it has at least one inferior aspect, when compared to the PS4, then the PS4 will be held back by it. Vice-versa would be the same.
Oh, if Sony doesn’t allow 100GB Blu-Rays (and if Microsoft does), then it’ll be the PS4 suffering from multi-disc games next gen.
Negativity aside, the console is looking damn good! Can’t wait for E3!
I’m honestly confused about game sizes. Some PS3 titles really needed all 50GB (and more) space in the BR discs. Then we see games like Skyrim that on PC just take 10Gb or so. Bioshock Infinite for PC is supposed to be only 3 DL DVDs, still having all kind of high and ultra res textures. I think they established that 50GB are more than enough. Also considering that both consoles will have a standard HDD, which in PS4 case has been announced as “massive”.
John Carmack had some nice things to say about PS4

I can’t speak freely about PS4, but now that some specs have been made public, I can say that Sony made wise engineering choices.
Why can’t he speak freely? He certainly had no problems promoting Xbox everywhere he went, and shooting down the PS3 with his big mouth. Perhaps he is NOT ALLOWED to say anything TOO positive. That’s very interesting.
Considering the travesty of Rage (god it was rubbish), his opinions hold NO credibility anymore. He can’t rest on his Doom laurels forever…….
Sony better give this thing away for free…that’s the only thing that will allow it to compete with the next Xbox.
@SYX,You clearly know nothing of what your talking about,But with a childish comment like that its clear to everyone your a massive fanturd of microsoft,And im pretty sure that theres meany more people who think the same way about microsoft syx,so why dont you take your stupid fanboy comments and stick em where the sun dont shine because where all gamers here who love games and agree and disagree about games and games companies as you know yorself,But you sir are just a complete fool and a utter nob end”no one likes you because you say the same shit more or less everytime you comment,Im actualy starting to think you extreme fanboys have some serious mental issues.
Everyone’s been waiting long enough to relegate the 360 and PS3 as last generation consoles.
The sooner the release of the PS4, the better. Everyone wins!
PS4 exclusives and no more so so multiplats for the Sony platform. I can’t wait
I’m glad you have come to realize the superiority of Playstation.
NICE! I just Microsoft points for free from this site!

OMG I just got a Xbox Live code for free from this site freemspointsforever{dot}com
Well, I’ll get both, the ps4 as well as whatever the Xbox comes up with. But I have to say it is very misguided praising the PS4 right now based only on the specs and few videos of ps4 processed graphics (I say graphics because it is not clear which is actual gameplay except in watchdogs)
You can only say how amazing or disappointing it is when Microsoft announces their next product.
