+Frank B. Subscriber² Posted September 9, 2013 Subscriber² Share Posted September 9, 2013 Is this the news people were waiting for perhaps? PS4 launches in Japan on February 22nd One notable omission from the PlayStation 4 launch information provided at Gamescom was any hint of a date for Sony's homeland of Japan. At a press conference today, however, Sony revealed that the next-generation console will be released on February 22nd, 2014, priced at ?39,980.

trooper11 Posted September 9, 2013 Share Posted September 9, 2013 How dare the OP tease us with the Last Guardian. I'm so over getting excited for that game after they pretty much put it on the back burner. If it comes, great, but I'm not going to get hyped before then. Otherwise, its surprising that there was no VR announcement, It seemed fairly sure. Instead, I guess the biggest unknown, was the Vita TV thing. Of course there was some good game info, but I was trying to find out which of the new games announced were exclusives. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

-T- Member Posted September 9, 2013 Member Share Posted September 9, 2013 Massively underwhelming conference but it was for Japan so not too surprised. Sony really sucks at these things when they're not point scoring from MS Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
trooper11 Posted September 9, 2013 Share Posted September 9, 2013 Massively underwhelming conference but it was for Japan so not too surprised. Sony really sucks at these things when they're not point scoring from MS Yeah, I know some will find this offensive and its not meant to be, but Sony got a lot of free pr brownie points just by taking digs at MS. Each of their conference events since the first X1 reveal have gotten 'artificial' boosts from taking digs at MS. So in effect they got more traction out of beating up the other guy vs promoting their own product. Not to say they don't have a good product, but their events have been largely flat if you remove the digs at MS. This event was devoid of that and yeah, it was a bit flat.

compl3x Posted September 10, 2013 Share Posted September 10, 2013 Free radioactive water with every PS4 purchase. I know I shouldn't have, but I lold Massively underwhelming conference but it was for Japan so not too surprised. Sony really sucks at these things when they're not point scoring from MS MS shouldn't have made themselves such an easy target. Any business in Sony's position would have done the same.

+Audioboxer Subscriber² Posted September 10, 2013 Author Subscriber² Share Posted September 10, 2013 The real reason to buy a PS4 It also lights up other colors than blue, and can pulse. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
compl3x Posted September 10, 2013 Share Posted September 10, 2013 idk if I like that. I have enough LEDs and flashing lights in my room I cover or disable. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
spenser.d Posted September 10, 2013 Share Posted September 10, 2013 idk if I like that. I have enough LEDs and flashing lights in my room I cover or disable. I imagine you'll be able to turn it off with a setting if you're able to make it pulse or change color. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
trooper11 Posted September 10, 2013 Share Posted September 10, 2013 MS shouldn't have made themselves such an easy target. Any business in Sony's position would have done the same. No doubt, but the point remains. Sony has coasted along in many ways thanks to that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BajiRav Posted September 10, 2013 Share Posted September 10, 2013 idk if I like that. I have enough LEDs and flashing lights in my room I cover or disable.The blueish light on my Samsung TV hasn't been turned on in last 5 years - it was promptly disabled on first use. I guess it looks cool but mostly pointless because it will be hidden. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Aergan Posted September 10, 2013 Share Posted September 10, 2013 I wonder how much the vertical stand will cost? (as shown in that GIF).
