Amazon opens pre-orders for the PS4, starting at $399

After fans got a glimpse of the new PS4 during Sony’s E3 2013 keynote, eager players can finally pre-order the new console from Amazon. Here are the details.

The Playstation 4 will be at the top of many people’s holiday wish-list this year. The new console marks a new generation for Sony. The company put a lot of work into redesigning the new console, improving the device to correct any missteps the company took with the PS3. Sony spent some time at E3 2013 this year showing off the background downloading and the ability to instantly share images and videos of games through the “share feature”. The new Dualshock 4 controller was also featured at the event.

MY LORD

Good show Sony.... Good show!

sonyslave I fixed it

Sonyslave34745d ago

Well I wouldn't brag about the online just yet there a rumor going around that u have to pay for multiplayer online.

Ipunchbabiesforfun4745d ago

you do, but it's $100 cheaper. I'm not happy with the paying for online, but that difference is 2 years worth of online. Plus it included PS+ where Sony gives out games to play, Gaikai for PS3 games etc, it's a good deal at least.

Testfire4745d ago

I did notice that as well, it sucks no doubt. The consolation is that if you're a + member at least you'll get your money back in benefits. Oh well, I'm not a big online gamer anyway.

Thatguy-3104745d ago

We have to pay for online but heck we have to see how everything can't be given free in life. I'll pre order my console tomorrow at gamestop for sure. KINGDOM HEARTS 3 8..)

Panthers4745d ago

I believe they said taht you can still play online for free. But honestly PS+ is a huge bargain so I dont see a reason not to get it.

Brazz4745d ago

Right now this gift ilustrate the situation!

Hell!!! $399 and My freedom! PS4 won the war!

showtimefolks4745d ago

It's gonna be a lot of fun

jagstatboy4745d ago

Will one PS+ account allow all sub-accounts on the same box play online? I can't pay for me and my son to play online.

MikeMyers4745d ago

Excellent price. That was the target I wanted them to go to. I always thought it would be between $399 and $499 and I actually thought it would be $449 so this is good news.

Not pre-ordering though. Likely to get a PS4 next year. Way too many issues are likely to happen in the beginning with the network, game delays and all that stuff. 2104 will be when Gaikai is up and running and better games.

aCasualGamer4745d ago

As i said ladies and gentlemen, Sony has won nextgen.

Bigpappy4745d ago (Edited 4745d ago )

I would not say Sony had the better show (The best they showed were Multi-plat games), but they did win with those offerings (No 24hr verification checks and no restrictions on trading and selling games that are on disk). They did not address digital content which will soon become the primary way to buy games.

You do need to pay to play online now though. But $100 and more liberal with disk PS4 has a mush better selling position.

Hello_World4745d ago

How did MS make themselves look so disgusting? I wanted to like Xbox still. Instead preordered the PS4!!! So many amazing looking next gen games coming!

jetlian4745d ago

got mine amazon already placed me in 2 weeks after it ships Yall better hurry up!

Now I need to start saving for it. Missed conference whats the launch games?

hollabox4745d ago

As predicted Sony is not making all the same mistakes it made with the PS3 launch. For $399 getting a better console all around, I don't know what the heck was Microsoft thinking. Speaking of this price point, Nintendo is going to have to drop the Wii U down $100 atleast, no point in paying $350 for console with an large controller and no games when you pay $50 you get an console 10 X as powerful, plays movies for crying out loud, and has a 500 GB hard drive.

I pre-ordered. And honestly I never pre-order anything. Blown away!

Eldyraen4745d ago

Same. I've managed to snag a few consoles at launch in store or just waited a few months but had to go ahead and pre-order. It sounded almost too good to be true and have a feeling it will sell out fast now.

T24745d ago

Boom headshot !! Straight to Microsoft grill

trancefreak4745d ago

just pre ordered threw amazon no bundle BS like Gamestop is setting up right now jump on it.

CyberSentinel4745d ago

Got mine in. It feels good to be going back to Playstation.

Noctis4745d ago

I think I might've been the first one to preorder it? I clicked the buy now button as soon as I got the email lol. but nothing beats the thrill of waiting in line with fellow playstation fans and counting down the minutes.

Kevin McCallister4745d ago

I may have you beat. I was already on the PS4 page and kept refreshing it until the price and pre-order option appeared lol. This time, I'll do my waiting at home. Forget the overnight lines lol.

Godmars2904745d ago (Edited 4745d ago )

Just have to share this. The original's animated...

Azfargh4745d ago

Microsoft,

TURN AROUND AND WALK AWAY...

I repeat:

TURN AROUND AND WALK AWAY!

There is no need for more bloodshed.

Godchild10204745d ago

Yea, I'll be at GameStop early in the morning to reserve mine. Is there a release date yet?

GribbleGrunger4745d ago

No release date as yet and you will probably have to subscribe to PS+ to play online. That's a small price to pay for what you get though. For me, the design is fantastic. I love the angular sides and the split look ... and that price!

Godchild10204745d ago

@GribbleGrunger, Paying for plus is okay with me. I know the value of Plus exceeds the cost of admission. With all the free games, I don't think I would even notice that I will be paying to access Online portions of the games I purchase. As long as I can still share my games with my family and friends, I'm okay with those terms.

TheRealist21024745d ago

I just pre-ordered mine through Amazon and they have a release date of Dec 31st 2013 but I think that is just a guess. I hope it's out before christmas so I can play it during the holiday.

SilentNegotiator4745d ago

$400? So it *IS* cheaper?

I hate this overused term during E3, but, well...megaton.

Ser4745d ago

I do, too. But, hey, if there was ever a time to use it, it's now.

Megaton.

Nightfallen4745d ago

Just preordered. I'm super pumped for it. Literally what we all hoped for and more.

trancefreak4745d ago

good Gamestop is setting up those bundle deals to get customers to pay more upfront for pre order. Glad i jumped on it. Wife aint happy but I am LOL.

Ipunchbabiesforfun4745d ago

Been done for 5 minutes already lol

Naughty Dog Was Reportedly Divided On Joel's Controversial Fate During Development Of TLOU Part 2

NO, that can't be... No! I can't... Really?/s

Cacabunga40d ago

They for sure chose the worst way to deal with it

-Foxtrot39d ago

Funny considering Bruce left half way through development and now we get told there was an internal conflict with the story direction.

Makes you think…

HectixRose40d ago

I think it was good decision, if he was still alive, he would have been a mascot just like Kratos, drake and many others. These old dudes gotta die for new characters to take center stage with their own storyline. They keep dragging the emotional baggage into many sequels and eventually the story just turns into absolute shit show.

JEECE40d ago

It was ironic because people complained heavily about the story in the Uncharted games not having sufficient stakes because all the key characters always survived, despite the dangerous situations they were always in. Then ND killed a character in a more serious series and everyone lost their minds. Just shows that people don't always really want the thing they say they want.

CantThinkOfAUsername39d ago

I thought the more common complaint about Uncharted franchise was how the main cast are the good guys acting so nonchalantly while killing hundreds in cold blood (aka the dissonance between gameplay and story cutscenes). They just did it again in Part II.

Soy40d ago

Didn't have to kill him. Just have them part ways or Joel can "retire," whatever.

DarXyde39d ago

I don't think he would necessarily need to become a mascot (and besides, technically, I'd say Ellie is... So regardless, someone was going to be).

From a narrative perspective, I do think it has a similar effect to Ricky dying in Boyz N Da Hood: very likeable character, and you're really motivated to see the get back—in this case, it's more intense because it's an interactive experience. Most people hated Abby, but I get what they were after with portraying the cycle of violence and revenge—unfortunately, the game appears to want to take the side of the bad people.

But I will say that if Joel survived, it does become harder to tell an interesting story. What COULD have happened is an exploration into the rift between Joel and Ellie after the trolley dilemma events of the first game. It could have been interesting to see Abby out for revenge at the same time Ellie hated Joel.

Ashunderfire8639d ago

Sorry just had to say this lol! RICKYYYY!

Man Cuba Gooding Jr was miscast in that movie, but that part was cringey it was sad and funny at the same time man.

Ashunderfire8639d ago (Edited 39d ago )

I understand but the way they went about killing Joel, was poorly executed. Even the show of the Last of Us games tried to improved it, but it was just as bad. Well at least Joel got to know the reason why he had to die, before the death happened in the show. That part gave us the full context, but the game just let it happen with no pay off.

Joel death should have been a midway thing through the story, so we at least get to play him a little more with Ellie. Abby didn’t need to be this Hulk looking woman, but more like the show Abby which is a beater idea in my opinion.

The only ND game that was so disappointing to me I couldn't finish it.

pwnmaster300040d ago

Honestly as much as I loved the game, they could have just not killed him off.
I get it creator vision and all but killing a character that made you millions is just wrong imo. At least have him go down fighting.

Look I know VIII has its issues and all that but how on earth can the do big anniversary events with new artwork and merchandise for VII, IX and X yet VIII got sweet f*** all.

They could have given it something during its 25th anniversary yet all it got was a single Happy Anniversary post on their social media.

solideagle39d ago

they should know that we are OG fans of VIII as it sold truckload as well. not as much as VII or X. I personally didn't like IX but X and VI are my personal fav.

Shadow Hearts 2 covenant is another game I love. I hope one day someone can make remake, I would be delighted

Relientk7739d ago

Final Fantasy VIII is great and you are always the first to defend it in the comments
