It's a way of bribing journalists in to giving the PS4 launch games some really good scores in a closed environment, or at least subliminally influencing them with alcohol and pleasure. Very clever.
Wow. That's a launch alright. Sony's back

Knack is going to get a very good grade. Like 8.5 from ign
As much as I love Knack and want it to do well...wtf doesn't IGN give an 8.5 or higher to?
Edit: It just occured to me that you may be joking. I am stupid.

Can't believe I've got two weeks longer to wait than you guys
When this arrives it'll be like being a kid at Christmas. I'm 32 and not ashamed. My fiancee probably is though

I never understand why somebody would need to feel ashamed if they look forward to something they like, regardless of age.
I'm 35 and also looking forward to the 29th, even took a day off work!

It's two weeks longer but our unboxing is going to be more fun.
You can use your smartphone or tablet in combination with the PlayStation App for text input.
Alternatively, you can 'point' the DualShock 4 at letters/characters. (I doubt that's faster, but, hey, who knows?)

Try having to wait until December 18th for those of us here in Taiwan.
Very happy to be getting that Killzone bundle, though.
Seriously, is everyone from SCEWWS attending the launch?
I hope he's watching his back for the 5-0.

Or can't you just use a usb keyboard? Not the best, but maybe a bit faster.
Or just put your name in the various threads on here and have people add you. I've been getting plenty of requests. I was planning on going through the list when I get my PS4 and add people who have the same games.
official Sony stand preordered from amazon UK - same with the charging station. Hate not being able to charge my DS3s when the PS3 is off, and hate only having front facing USB ports on the PS4, so need a separate solution for that.
Only 12 working days for me in the UK. Not counting today, then I have Thursday 14th off to go and pay off my preorder (and work out where the store is - never been there before), then the 15th off to pick up and enjoy.
Questions about streaming (I don't know much about it) in case anyone knows:
1. Can you only stream to other PS4 owners or do we stream to the twitch.tv website?
2. Do we have to make a twitch account and does it cost to stream?
3. Do we have control over who watches the stream (I only want my friends to see the stream who won't own PS4's till February)
Thanks

I had to double check to make sure I wasn't on Amazon.de. I've never seen that type of Playstation domination on the Amazon US site.
Yep.
Should be a thread for this, there's still issues which are getting drowned out by dumb shit like 1080p stuff
Yeah but that's the hourly one. This close to the launch of course it's going to look like that. Days before the Xbone's release it'll be all green for sure.

Wait you think 1080p stuff is dumb but being able to add someone on a website isnt? the new app launches in a few days maybe you should hang fire till then.
Wait no more, I'm here to say that you're infact correct on this fine day!
I want sweet as fuck features, yo. I couldn't care less about 1080p.
I Haven't seen anyone post this story from Kotaku on the GAF:
Also, voice command prompt on PS4's UI:
Awesome work finding that, it appears to not be a canned demo and it's clearly showing the UI (he even hovered over settings, sigh!) - interesting performance in parts, I sure as fuck hope it caches some shit to the disk because,......... a few things - (pulling up the knack page, loading the tiles for knack? not fast!)
EDIT: no seriously this is a good video - some interesting new shit in this, about time!
The champagne section was fucking great!
Noticed this too, made me cringe a little bit on how long that took to load. Definately hoping for a faster load than that.

DYING to see the settings, every single part of it, it's all I care about.

Anyone on the fence in the UK with no pre order should look at this:
http://www.zavvi.com/ps4-hardware/ps4-new-sony-playstation-4-includes-killzone-shadow-fall-camera-extra-dualshock-4-controller/10857756.html
Killzone with PS4, two controllers and camera for £369.

some of that will be pulling from the internet, so difficult to cache.
that's a great deal
What!? How the hell...makes me consider selling my Game credit to put towards this...gotta be cheaper...just can't believe this price
Why is Sony not selling the Official branded products in NA? I really wanted to get the DS4 charging station, but the official Sony branded one apparently isn't going to be sold here, just in EU. Can I import or will it not work in NA because of the voltage difference?

If I got money left over im buying a camera and trying some of that welcome park type shit too!Hope they'll show some more of what the camera can do. The lil' demo with the robots might just be the thing me and my family spend the most time with once we get the system

I will feast upon crow if Zavvi honours that deal. Classic bait and switch from them.
1. You stream to Twitch.tv, anyone can go to twitch.tv and view your stream if you want.
2. Yes you have to make an account, no it doesn't cost money to stream
3. You can set your channel to private and put a password on it.

We'll soon see, my order is already at processing.
The web page yes, the metro style tiles - not so much, they were a bit too slow.
ANYHOW
That video is without a doubt the best thing I've seen on the PS4 yet.
It's fucking REAL no bullshit, no canned, no camera cuts, we get to see more of Playroom (fuck those little bastards are adorable) - we get to see the Vita and Android phone interact with the PS4, significant UI stuff (it really does look like a beefed up XMB)
Then there's a Killzone section after with some hot girl playing, the frame rate looks a tad "framey" at points - but some other cool shit happens - you see a bullet ricochet off a metal window frame and hit a ceiling, the glass smashes uniquely, you see someone use the touchpad quickly and how it works
Is that the same set Daft Punk used for their Random Access Memories Unboxing video?

FYI, Zavvi.co.uk have fixed the price of the PS4 bundle to £469.99.
Now to see if they cancel/amend the price of my order.
