"People often take reviews as gospel nowadays"
the reason that is for me at least is the price of gaming especially here in the UK where games cost £50 i tend to read several reviews and watch videos before making a decision to make a purchase as i don't want to/ cant really afford to spend £50 on a game just because of nice looking trailers and nostalgia
Edit
"but surely a demo will be released"
so far they are learning from their mistake and improve and most importantly get to know their consumers that's all we can ask for
this is the reason why i am weary of reboots, because we enjoyed a games franchise many moons ago does not always mean it will resonate with gamers years after, same thing happened with bionic commando, syndicate 2012 etc. ah well i guess back to the drawing board or even better a new IP's
Americans are not gonna be happy with this news, i bet they get one at e3
@ gutz
the people who got it had the money and saw value in what MS was selling so they should not feel bad as the ps4 was cheaper and they didn't pick that up. with this price announcement i am looking to purchase one myself just waiting on that crackdown 3 announcement
"Also, I don't think you can link direct to a retailer. The deal has to be mentioned on a gaming site. "
yes you can evidence below

But it does help. the ps4 has not been about graphics alone i shall list
1) new IP's
2) great price
3) third party developers support
4) great games
the above are what will help the ps4 win
Thanks title amended, but there is nowhere it mentions that only one xbox one is available for that price
Reasons why i am excited
1)wraith powers and how you can manipulate enemies to work for you
2) the free roaming elements like AC
3)it looks interesting
with everyone apart from the casuals really focusing on resolutions they aren't gonna advertise a weak point compared to their competition now are they. the funny thing is though that i thought they were so adamant that resolution did not matter they even went as far as saying 720 is better than 1080p...but i digress, even graeme boyd was quoted to say he would much focus on how a game plays i guess deep down this worries MS for them to remove this from all their game boxes
T1′s own Tim Lumb, who first spotted the ad, confirms there is no mention of any other stipulations tied to the sale, such as the need to make other purchases or trade-in items. We’ve reached out to B&M to confirm.
until the author confirms with B&M it could still be
@ the cell
thanks for your input... i knew it was too good to be true but if it turns out true god speed to the gamers who make a purchase if li lived close to scraborou...
i bet its one of those but you have to buy something random * a £500 bed* then you get it for that price
So glad i picked up mine, i was going to wait but after that e3 i was like " F that ish" im picking up one launch day
was just about to go hunting this down,thanks for the post
... HERE WE GO
After the recent the order trailer it doesn't surprise me. 3 years damn best have a pair of clean pants right next to you when ND reveals another trailer
i have a feeling Sony has something really special to announce during this event, i will definitely be watching the stream
i know i can still remember counting down the days after the reveal then E3 BLEW me away, i immediately pre-ordered.
@ the disagrees my comment was not a dig at Sony more of a consumer excited about a feature and wants more info since they haven't touched on that subject in a while
if Sony focuses on the core of what the ps4 is about and continues to offer great games at an amazing value then no
great article still waiting for sony to give more info about the suspend/ resume and the try before you buy as these are features i will use regularly
@ vigilante_man
because they thought they could get away with charging that price trust me if the Xbox ones were flying off the shelves you wouldn't have seen a price drop so quick... fair enough but now that the ps4 is perceived by majority of the industry as doing more at a cheaper price they had to do something about that.
