I have yet to see a "must have" game for me on this platform, however well done Sony, well done.

"Yesterday Sony Computer Entertainment Japan and Asia surprised everyone by suddenly putting a second batch of the First Limited Pack of the PS4 (in both versions with and without the camera) up for preorder on its own store.

Looks like Japanese gamers were waiting quite eagerly for a second chance. While this batch didn’t sell in minutes like the first one, it only lasted 14 hours before Sony ran out of stock.
Interestingly enough, the version with the camera sold out a lot faster of the stand alone version, lasting little north of eight hours, indicating that either less bundles were made available, or Japanese gamers aren’t as hostile to glorified webcams as their indifference towards Kinect seems to indicate."

I'm happy to see Sony getting some demand, but without numbers it's meaningless.

they flip them on YJA just like people here flip them on ebay lol

Flipping preorders? wow, what a great idea, lol.

If the fools pay.  I have a buddy that bought two, one to keep, one to sell off. He'll probably make his money back and then some.

Lol, I'm not sure.  You saw how well flipping current gen consoles worked with the Wii U right?  I had people in my area trying their best to gouge but there was no interest.  It could be different with the PS4/XB1 but I'd make sure they keep their receipts at least.

There's a Shadow of the Beast remake for it.

I preordered a PS4.

Aw yeah. f*ckers.

I saw the teaser shot of it.  Is it really in development?

The PS4's styling reminds me of something else...



And apparently I'm not the first to think so either... (I stole the pic from this guy too)

I'll have one in my living room. I went with Microsoft and the 360 last go round, a choice I do not regret. This gen I will be returning to Sony(loved my PS2). I just think MS got it all wrong this time and are too focused on making the Xbox a cable box. And don't get me started on kinect!

I'm interested in the console itself, but so far there are no games I'm interested in.

Build it and the games will come

I will have Crimson Dragon (OOHHHH YEAH!), Dead Rising 3 (YEAH!), Forza (yeah), and Killer Instinct (yeah?) for my Xbox One at launch.

For my PS4 at launch...   lol...  I think I might go with Knack?

I was thinking of getting the best reviewed sports game (not including soccer, which is arguably a sport) for the PS4, just to get something.  I am sure the PS4 will be fine next year, but it is assuredly the worst launch lineup since maybe the PS2.

Actually... I'm not interested in any Xbox One games either. I think PS4 got more potential as far as interesting games go.

I'm not really worried. Wii U and 3DS had a very slow start as well, but things are really changing for those (unlike what people may be saying about the former).
