The Official PS4 Thread

If you bought a specific third-party PS3 game that also has a PS4 release (Assassin's Creed, Call of Duty, Battlefield 4, etc.), you'll be able to buy a digital copy for the PS4 for a short period after release for a significantly reduced price.

Sony is doing the trade up program from PS3 to PS4 as well it seems.

**Burn**

Lol




**Update**

Launch

Nov 15

 

[Saylick]

Nov 15. US Launch.

Not a bad time to launch the console imo.

 

[basslover1]

Nov 15th US launch date confirmed.

 

[Aikouka]

November 15 in North America
November 29 in Europe

 

[KaOTiK]

Decent show, lots of games, got to see the UI in action, and release date.

 

[Pheran]

Nov 15 North America, Nov 29 Europe

EDIT: I was too slow.

 

[smackababy]

That is what was always expected I believe.

 

[basslover1]

When does it launch?

 

[smackababy]

I am surprised on 1 million preorders though. That seems low considering the PS3 sold 400,000 on the first day in the US alone.

I believe it was 100 million pre-orders worldwide, but I could be wrong.

EDIT: Hm... maybe it was 10 million? I don't recall it being 1 mill, though.

that was a nice burn before the release date announcement

 

[KaOTiK]

Not bad, all signs were pointing to either a late October or mid November launch. I was hoping for October, but can't complain.

 

[ShadowOfMyself]

LOL at Andrew taking another stab at Microsoft, and the whole room cheering

 

[KaOTiK]

That was pretty funny lol

 

[mmntech]

November 15th for NA, 29th for Europe. Later than I had hoped but nice to have a date. Very good news on the Vita front. Memory cards getting a badly needed "significant" price drop, and Borderlands 2. Sweet.

So PS4 launches exactly 2 weeks before Black Friday - begin speculation on Black Friday deals. Or will it be completely sold out by then?

 

[smackababy]

I don't understand how it was a burn though. "Oh a competitor saw you didn't like what they were going to offer and changed it dramatically so you would! What a horrible company!"

Yeah, there won't be a PS4 for sale at retail price on Black Friday. I'm sure someone will be offering a "deal" on ebay though. >_>

that launch date is pretty much expected. with cod and bf coming out early november (i think) that is pretty much what i expected. hope that ms comes out with the launch date of x1 soon too.

 

[smackababy]

COD comes out the 4th and BF4 comes out the Oct 29th (with the next gen consoles coming out 'at a later date', so probably on the 15th).

yeah that is what im saying, i never expected either console to come out before both of those games came out for ps3/xbox360 since they are both launch games on ps4/x1.

 

[badb0y]

1 million pre-orders so far.

Console is still 3 months away and they will try to put consoles on the shelves for those who missed the pre-orders.

 

[smackababy]

We had "confirmation" stores were getting "a Sony product" on Oct 31. Anyone who expected a release any time sooner than a week before the date, was delusional.

 

[sze5003]

Oh well november 15 it is. Will give me time to get whatever games I want by then.
