Recommended Posts

I don't think I really need a topic for it.. but be interesting to see who else pre-ordered a PS4.

PlayStation 4 (Launch Edition) [Video Game] 
Condition: New
Sold by: Amazon.com.ca, Inc.
Price: 399.00 CAD

Shipping Estimate: Dec 3, 2013
Delivery Estimate: Dec 9 2013 - Dec 13 2013

 

I don't think I really need a topic for it.

 

... and yet you started one anyway.  Maybe I should start a new topic announcing that I pre-ordered an Xbox One? Whadda ya think?

  • Like 3

As much as I've been on Sony rants... You would think I wouldn't of bothered.

But I do have a launch day PS4 on reserve.., ordered it during E3...

But eBay may be its destination, if supply is short and demand is high

I haven't pre-ordered anything yet.  I know that means I'm missing out of the day one editions of the consoles, but I want to wait until at least Gamescom to make my decision.

 

Buying both will be costly, so only one gets the day one treatment.  I may even wait until TGS to see what kind of Japanese content is on the horizon. 

I'm just going to watch the market on both ends, and wait to see what issues people have, bitch and moan about, and so forth. You KNOW it's going to happen.

 

I'd rather not deal with it all and just be patient and get it a little later.

 

Good on you though, I hope you enjoy it! :)

Are you usually a dick for no reason?

In regards to the topic.. I still can't make my mind up which to get, are there any pro's and con's charts about or anything lol?

 

It's all about the games. If you like the games, buy the console.

Just a heads up that the PS4 release date will likely be announced during Gamescom this week also a source who works for a large gaming retailer in the US is backing  'October 21st, 2013' as the release date week because they are receiving a 'Sony Entertainment Systems' product for sale during that week and the new PS3 flash console is out this week, so a PS4 release looks likely (Unless they made a new version of the Vita).

 

October 21st is unconfirmed at this stage.

Well Gamescom seems like the perfect place to announce it.   It'll be interesting to see how many countries they commit to for day one. 

 

If I was one of these companies, Id probably wait as long as possible considering the issues that can come up lol.

 

I would laugh if both consoles launched on the same day, that would be armageddon.  Think of the lines and the violence in the streets. That wont happen though.

So the Nov 30 is just a place holder then?

Vita needs some better games, even Sony seems to have pushed it to the wayside, meanwhile 3ds has some terrific games and good frame rates despite it's less powerful. It's obvious devs don't take much time or effort with many of the Vita games. It reminds me of the Atari Lynx, powerful, unique but crappy gameplay.

    • UK funds £60M AI labs to challenge US tech dominance with open-source models by Paul Hill The UK government has awarded £60 million to Oxford University and University College London to help keep the country in the AI race by focusing on open-source, low-hardware alternatives. This is in stark contrast to the expensive, closed-source, and high-hardware-requirement models being created in the United States and elsewhere. The money will be shared among two new academic research labs over six years to help them redesign the fundamental mathematics and architectures of AI to help the UK reduce its reliance on a handful of US tech firms. Commenting on the development, AI Minister Kanishka Narayan said: Initially, the government planned to fund just one lab with a £40 million investment, but with this update, two labs will now get access to a larger pool of funds. The labs are expected to invest in the top AI researchers at every career stage, with £2 million per lab being set aside for hiring at least ten doctoral students. The government hopes that this will grow the UK’s talent in the field of AI. The labs are also expected to work closely with the leaders in British AI research, such as the Alan Turing Institute and UKRI’s AI research hubs. This will allow the various teams to collaborate and create new solutions faster than they could alone. This development is pretty interesting for a number of reasons, chiefly that it could create a long-term challenge for US tech firms if these labs successfully scale these open-source architectures that bypass the proprietary ecosystems. It could also give British businesses and public sector organizations access to AI features without paying high licensing fees to foreign providers or needing to invest in specialized server infrastructure.
    • If I were them, I'm gonna hold out until the prices of these semiconductor parts normalize. $1,049 for a ~5 year old hardware is DoA, more so for gamers. On a deeper note, if Steam Machine is priced like this, we are soo effed up for the next gen Xbox console and PS6. With great AAA titles releasing at the end of the year, this just creates more demand...and more tears for me. Lol.
    • I suspect one reason its hard to justify subsidising is that it's not a locked down device like a traditional console is. In this climate sadly if it was a "good deal" you'd get people hoarding them for anything but gaming. The Lenovo Legion Go 2 with the Ryzen Z2 Extreme is £1300 here ($1720) for some context on how other SteamOS like devices are now priced. I got the older Z1 Extreme model for £300 with a dock, just shows how insane prices have got recently.
