Preorder sales garbage should be banned.
"This player will only be compatible with Sony 4k televisions"
Only for Sony TV.
"Video Unlimited 4K will offer movies and TV shows for direct download to its 4K player."
That doesn't sound like streaming.Do they even have 4K streaming?
2TB hdd is not here for nothing.
"4K players should have an Internet connection in order authenticate each video playback."
Uh oh
"Sony is releasing a new media player, the FMP-X1 4K Ultra HD, which should be arriving at stores on July 15th. This player will only be compatible with Sony 4k televisions, and it will require that you activate the machine at the 4KActivation.com website. Sony has also announced a new service, a website where you can purchase or rent 4k movies to play through your new media player and Sony TV."
Massive fail.
People really believe that PS4 is cheaper because ordinary web camera is out?
lol
That shit is dirt cheap today.
Wasn't that Sony mantra during PS2 era?
Yes,please.
They are developing the game on PC and porting to consoles,so why not release it on PC?
Japanese devs are sometimes so backwards.
Gamestop,Gamefly.............. ........and people that like them
Not gonna change much in the long run,specialized gaming retail(Gamestop) is going the way of the dodo.
Not bad.
Not sure why people are surprised by this.If you were a parent what would you rather buy for your young kids,gun simulator 101 or a game like Minecraft?
That market is huuuge.
Speak for yourself Sony.
Steam and Apple prove otherwise.
You are right,there is nothing to celebrate.
Expensive games,shit trade-in values,console digital treated as premium and on top of that we have to pay for PS4 online
CliffyB doesn't want his friends fired.Would you like to see your friends fired?
There is a huge bloodbath coming,tons of people will lose their jobs.Top talent is already leaving in droves.I don't think console gamers will like the end result.
He is barking at the wrong tree though,used games have not lethally wounded this industry,something else did.
Expect to see lots and lots of titles doing this.$60 games + mandatory online subscription = console future
"This next generation of gaming hasn't even fully began and it's already a clusterf*ck of lies, anti-consumerism, delusion, and hypocrisy. Quite frankly, any of the flip flopping hypocrites around deserve to have all of their rights taken away because clearly they only care about them selectively instead of completely."
Fully agree.
Fake.
They can buy PS4.
Smart bet.
At least you can keep the games forever,not rent them like with PS+.
They can't be cheaper even if they wanted to,Gamestop would just say fuck you,order less new games and under cut them with $5 cheaper used.
They don't want to lower the prices though,digital on consoles is designed to rip-off people.Good thing that console industry is about to collapse soon.
Expect to see IP locks in the future,some countries have very strict online policies.
lol
