27 minutes long.

http://www.giantbomb.com/podcasts/sony-s-scott-rohde-answers-your-burning-ps4-questi/1600-504/

Confirmations about DRM stuff, prices, etc.

Some highlights:

- Not allowing online passes, even for third parties, since PS+ is now required for online play.
- $399 was a target price set many years ago
- Camera is not included, costs $59
- F2P online games/services won't require PS+ in general (but some games might)
- Subscription based games/services won't require PS+
- Laughed when asked about HOME on PS4, complimented it. (probably means its coming to PS4)

Not perfect, but definitely much better than the current live.

How on point is this? I've come to expect a 2:1 fluff to content ratio with the bombcast, and I'm not going to sit through 20 minuets of random bullshit I have no interest in for maybe 7 of actual Sony/PS4/E3 related content.

This isn't a bombcast, it's just a relentless series of questions.

Once again Klepek showing why he's ones of the best games journalist, some of those questions must have been tricky to answer. Great interview.

16 minutes in the crew asks about the status of Bioshock Vita

Scott Rhodes replies "I really don't (know what's going on) that's a question for Adam Boyes

(laughter and slight delay)

Fun game though"

I'm kind of disappointed there's no random bullshit in it.

Really great, you should break major information into single threads, because new information deserves a new thread. ;-)

I especially liked the question about the overall mentality and philosophy changes since the launch of PS3. This is something that should be highlighted. :)
