Oh the memories. I still have it too, and it contains one of the best looking consoles ever. As a bonus!

Incase people missed it.
UK newspapaer ad:
Tweet from today:
Yep, these players becoming legends is probably about the streaming, like Kripparian is now followed by thousands for his live stream of his team killing Diablo on hardcore inferno. I really hope PS4 is able to stream on whatever site you choose (youtube, Twitch, etc.).

Did you know the amount of cubes there represented the amount of games you played, and their size represented for how long you played them?
I didn't know that, and that's awesome.
Example of someone with few games:
I remember people speculating on what the cubes meant. People did a lot of weird stuff to their memory card to figure out why it effected the squares and what having games on the card changed about them.
You know what all this blue is making me hope for. This sexy ass box to make its return with the PS4.
OMG, yes please!

I'm like the one person every who didn't really like the PS2 box, apparently.
Its the logo/font for me. The best.
People can't be THAT thick can they? I also don't think the PS3 was plagued with add ons and peripherals unlike the Wii so there is that too.

Who says it is NOV/DEC? I am thinking more like AUG/SEP.
It is kind of obvious that Sony is way ahead of MS as far as release day goes.

I'd say OCT/NOV might be more likely since it'd be more in line with the launch dates of those multi-gen titles that have been confirmed to be PS4 like AC4, Watch Dogs, BF4, etc...
Right? Everyone is forgetting how sony hurt them in the past. All the promises... then the delays.. then hiding from neogaf till it blows over.
I think that is the only thing that can happen now, Sony does have a good habit of shooting themselves in the foot. I hope not, but being a early PS3 owner was tough.

Yeah, if they are putting up advertisments already saying "coming soon" I´d say september is more liekely than november/december.
If I recall correctly the first Playstation came out in september in Europe.
Europe will probably be a couple of weeks behind US and Japan...so December 2013.

PS4 and Xbox One both stick a bit too closely to the defined visual style of the previous consoles for me. If you changed "4" for "3" you wouldn't think this is out of place for current gen. Not really a problem, just kinda...dull.

Just my guess. I would love it to come out earlier of course, but won't get my hopes up for that. This year will suffice.

Sony still going with that PS3 refont on a brand new generation console? I'm disappointed, so lazy.

soo, US $499 confirmed?

Also, I find it funny how the ad is standing right in front of the 360 peripherals stand.

The "4" font is different
Yes! Finally sony is learning.
One region shouldn't be more important than others, although it is a good sign they are showing Europe support.

It's fucking retarded to get excited by a cardboard box... but god damn that was a sexy box.

Slightly off topic, apologies. I've just pre-ordered a PS4 system from ShopTo, paying the £1 deposit. I figured it would be get in the queue early, just in case I do decide to pick one up. It doesn't seem to appear in my orders / pre-orders list though. Is this normal?

Best box design ever.
I want to cry when I see the ps2 box. Its still in my closet. Golden age of gaming. Unrivaled diversity, successful games at every budget tier, cash rich studios taking risk upon risk...Capcom at its best, Konami at its best, incredible square Enix games...

God this box. The new PS4 logo is reminiscent of the ps2 logo, minus a variation in font. All the blue has me hopeful we may see a new take on this amazing fucking box. People. This is a fucking box that deserves a museum exhibit.

I do like that Helghast design... but for some reason all I can see in the avatar is a cat. A badass, hell-bent-on-ISA-destruction cat.

I really hope they still have one or two killer app launch games. As great as the system looks, there's nothing there to lure me in, and it is a bit worrying that they have started advertising using the several games we have already seen rather than waiting a couple weeks when they have the opportunity to unveil more big guns at E3.

The £1 is usually just to authenticate the card. After that the £1 is then refunded. The PS4 should still be in your pre-order section.
I pre-ordered from there back in Feb and it is still in my list.
They sent an email the other day saying that they have removed the pricing on all PS4 pre orders (it was at £399) until Sony officially announces a price, but it will not affect people's place in the queue.

There are plenty of developers & publishers that are holding their cards close to their chest in order to showcase things at E3. In addition to the games shown so far that have been confirmed for the PS4's launch, I'd expect to see another 4 or 5 games (hoping for more though) spread out over a number of genres.
This reminds me of the last time I had to move. Stomped all my console boxes flat and threw them away, including this one.You know what all this blue is making me hope for. This sexy ass box to make its return with the PS4.

I like their bizarre-o, creepy commercials personally... but I agree that they could land another significant marketing blow with a nice TV ad soon. If one were to pop up at all before their press conference on 6/10, I'd imagine we'll be seeing it tomorrow during the CL Final.

With that sign up, the PS4 now has 100% more retail space in Tesco stores than Wii U.
