Got my PS4 from a Sainsbury's in Sheffield. It was a really pleasant experience. Got there 30 minutes before they opened, there were about 5 of us that formed a queue. People kept showing up after though so I'm glad I got there early.
Walked up to a special PS4 zone, told them what I wanted, paid and left.

I got their 6th PS4 but by the time I'd got to the exit they'd sold out. I heard they had 15 non preorders, 4 consoles on their own and 11 bundles...

It should be white anyway, it makes it look a lot smaller and distances it from the, it has to be said, true "It looks like a VCR" insult.

Twitch is for gaming streams, it's inbuilt into PS4 that you can stream on Twitch and UStream if I'm not mistaken, so why don't people who want to do this kind of thing just stream on UStream instead.

If you stream non game content on Twitch you're going to get banned anyway, regardless of whether you're on PS4 or anything else.

I already have it on my Android tablet, signed in fine - can even access the store. Now all I need is a PS4 haha

More like Major Arsewipe. Correct Larry, while I'm in my living room with my big TV I don't want a smaller screen, but when someone is watching soaps, or I'm on the crapper or I'm feeling lazy and want to play in bed I will quite happily take a smaller screen if it means I can continue playing.

Yeah, especially the UK. They're £349 here, so that's about $550 US. Probably a fair chunk of profit there.

I'm glad that the parts don't cost more than the box this time around though, Sony really need an upturn in fortunes financially.

1.51 by Monday haha... Firmware is always a slight ballache on PlayStations, I've had one brick my PS3 and I had to reformat the HDD, so it's to be expected on a brand new system with a brand new OS.

EA are covering themselves nicely though "Our game might be a bit crap, blame someone else." haha

Too many hipster reviewers from big websites wanting to be contrary imo. A lot of the smaller websites that don't rely on advertisements and sponsors seem to be giving generally favourable reviews.

I'm more inclined to trust them to be honest than people like Arthur Gies etc.

Simply, all trophy data (inc. any trophies gained offline) is stored on the console and when the console can establish a connection with the PSN, the trophies will be synced to your account.

Just like on the XBox 360, you get achievements offline, you connect to XBL and they're on your account.

Serious question, not trying to be a twat but what are the 2 games on the right? I genuinely don't know.

Anyway, I think Forza 5 will get decent reviews, and as long as the people reviewing aren't bothered about the myriad technical issues that seem to have befallen DR3 that'll do ok 8.5 and 7 respectively.

Ryse is short and divides opinion so who knows but I'd say more mixed reviews than good ones.

Whatever happens though, th...

Nobody cried because people on this website either own a PS3 and know ads are not an issue on PS platforms because they're for games, services and Sony products not pizzas, mountain dew and doritos haha..

Either that or they have never even owned a PS3 and just come here to complain about things they have no experience with.

I don't have a problem with Ads on the 360 if they're for games I might want, or services available on the system (like Netflix) its when you start getting ads that are completely jarring and obviously only there because money changed hands, which Microsoft do and PS don't. Fast food and soft drinks don't appear on PlayStation, games, services and occasionally other Sony products do - the latter being the closest it gets to an actual advert.

Kutaragi is the weird Granddad that your parents won't leave you alone with because they've gone a bit strange lately haha

Not to sound like a raging fanboy, but Polygon are on the Microsoft payroll, Gies in particular is massively pointless as a journalist due to his complete lack of integrity.

Expect the Xbox One reviews to be completely amazing with no faults whatsoever, for future reference, they gave the PS4 itself 7.5/10 and it's universally known that it's the stronger of the two - if they give it higher than the PS4 that should tell you all you need to know about Polygon.

I think the 360 had a good innings, but it's definitely peaked. I think ~18 months of third party games is the maximum to expect, Microsoft will really push to get the One in your house because the 360 topped out about a year ago.

PS3 is on a roll and will probably have a good Christmas and a decent 2014, Sony will lower the price again and support it for at least another 3 years I think. There's still a bit of life in it yet what with GT6 and The Last of Us being so ...

Looks great on both but this is hardly a comparison is it - how can you judge side by side when they're different cars doing different things on different parts of the map.

Nice one IGN. /s

Can't wait to see what it looks like at 8K pumped straight into my optic nerve.

I don't like this idea at all, it weakens the entire system of achievements. Saying that though, it could be amusing depending on the achievements available:

Watch The View and masturbate 3 times (Kinect must be enabled for this achievement) - 50G

Why didn't they put an analogue out on the back of the console then? It has to be at least a little about HD otherwise it'd be scart out haha

If they sold Xbox, it'd be for a lot of money. As much as I'd love to see it go to Sega, or even Nintendo (then they can make a proper gaming system) it'd be more likely to go to someone with lots of money and a recent hardware background. My money would be on Samsung - I think they'd be up for it, they seem to be growing anyway, why not make a games console.
