All those things you hated about the Xbox One? Might be gone now.
details
Microsoft is updating their Q&A as we speak, but based on reports from GiantBomb and WhatHiFi, it looks like they've gone back on most of the policies they had planned for the Xbox One, namely:
  • No more always-online requirement
  • No mandatory check-ins every 24 hours
  • Authentication will no longer be needed for game discs
  • You'll only need Internet when setting up the console
  • No restrictions on loaning or renting games
  • No more region locks
So basically, they're now matching PS4 shot-for-shot here, and... Read more →

Playstation 4 Accessories
details
Playstation Eye
Will not be included in the box. It will be a separate accessory costing $59.99 in the US. I wish it was included so that it would be easier for developers to implement features. Previous Move Controllers and Navigation units are compatible with the new Eye.
Headset/Mic
Will be bundled in for communication. Mono earbud, with inline mic. Any 1/8" headset should work though.
Dualshock 4
Extra controllers will be $59.99. (Damn the redesign looks great)
Charging Station

Is PlayStation 4 the console to beat?
details
http://media.gdgt.com/img/products/484/ae45/ae45-460.jpg
Yesterday was not a great day for Microsoft. Their E3 presentation should have been a triumph, where they show off the shiny new games for their shiny new system and get people really excited for all the fancy new features. This is what the E3 conference is for. Instead, they found themselves competing for the public's attention against Apple's announcements at WWDC (with both presentations overlapping time slot-wise, and Apple talking iOS... Read more →

Should Sony stop making electronics?
details
http://media.gdgt.com/img/product/5/40r/sony-walkman-tps-l2-6jp-640.jpg
Yesterday the New York Times published an article that mentioned that not only are sales down for Sony's electronics division, but that it's lost $8.5 billion over the past ten years. To anyone who pays even the slightest bit of attention to the market this isn't surprising at all. What is surprising is that 63% of Sony's operating profit comes from their financial division -- life insurance alone accounted for $9.07 billion... Read more →

So, the PlayStation 4.
details
The event is still going on now, but some of the key points:
  • No backwards compatibility with PS3, PS1 and PS2 will be streamed.
  • Remote play on Vita (like some PS3 games can do right now).
  • Games will no longer boot, they will download as you play them.
  • You can stream gameplay to your friends and even let them take control.
  • Developer-friendly, they say.
  • A companion social app will be available.
  • The PS4 will support PS Move.
  • New DUALSHOCK 4 controller!
  • All major third-party publishers will be making games....

The PlayStation 4 is coming tonight, what can we expect?
details
http://www.blogcdn.com/www.engadget.com/media/2013/01/feb20ps4620x340pxhedimg_620x340.jpg
With the Game Developer's Conference coming up next month, Sony's got a big event tonight, and the odds are good that what they'll be announcing is the next PlayStation home console, be it the "PlayStation 4" or the "Orbis" or whatever.
The details/rumor have been flying fast over the past year, and with Sony being notoriously tight-lipped about the system (even denying they were planning the next generation... Read more →

Details about the next Playstation are leaking out and they're not looking good.
details
Kotaku (http://kotaku.com/5896996/the-next-playstation-is... wrote a post yesterday detailing information they received about the next console from Sony codenamed Orbis. This looks like it's going to be the successor to the PlayStation 3 and it very well may keep the Orbis name.
The plus side of what has come from this is that it looks like spec wise the Orbis... Read more →
