The month sub to PS+ in the Basic is reasonable but 320GB sounds too small especially when we have PS3s that are at that amount. A customer might see that and go, "Well they are the same size but the PS3 is cheaper!" or something to that effect. As someone who used to be a manager at Best Buy, I saw it happen all the time.

- Between $399-449/€399/£350

- PS4, controller and PSEye
Premium:
- $499/€449/£400-425
- 750GB
- PS4, controller and PSEye
- 1 Year PSN+
That ad has been confusing a lot of people and it'll be important to get a clear answer whether PS eye comes in mandated inclusion for all tiers.
Also, Sony would be wise have all units come pre installed with PS2.
Well they already have the Instant Game Collections packs for Vita so people can hop on PS+ and download the free games so it's not outside of their realm to give PS+ out to entice people with features and such.
This is a good point. I don't see free PS+ games coming to PS4 until it's been out for at least 6 months. We'll probably see discounts and timed trials but that's about it at launch, plus whatever other + bonuses they have.
Haha that's depressing. You have a point though; a 500GB/750GB might be what they've got to do then. Could be a way to push them towards the higher-premium model though...

There's a post of verendus saying it would "half of 600" in I think euros, so maybe 350ish USD? That's assuming I remember correctly what he said.
Nevermind, he just said people would be happy with the price. Must of been someone elses post.

People seem to like me because I am polite and I am rarely late. I like to eat ice cream and I really enjoy a nice pair of slacks.
I'll never forget the GIF they made with the Mario Party ball rolling game where Nintendo won... Then somebody replaced it with Ubisoft. lol

Well, shiiiiieeeet. I might just be like that "I have three PS3s" guy then.
The rumor has come up different times with both Sony Bend and SCE London but the most recent one was linked with the latter.
Also this game was rumored alongside Socom 4 and God of War 4 (which ended up being Ascension) and funny enough both of those games came out and nothing came of SF4.
Here it is. That would be an amazing price.

Man, last E3 was so terrible. If this year somehow repeats the misery of 2012, I wouldn't even know how to handle the disappointment

FYI - Bethesda is going to announce Fallout 4 at E3. Not sure if they will be on stage with Sony or MS, or if they'll even show game play.

Now, where did you get such information?
edit - QA tester at Bethesda Softworks, hmmm.
Exclusive on Xbone.
Hmm. His site goes to a tester at Bethesda. I think the plot thickens peeps.
I think that's a given.

Yes. It's a given, but I'm not sure if it will just be a "it's in development" announcement or a look at this game play announcement.

I'd imagine that they show leave it as just an announcement or very early but good looking trailer and release it later when the install bases are up to par per their liking.

Why do people think that Bethesda is somehow in bed with Microsoft?
They struggled on the PS3, but the PS4 has been designed around improving development and is a more developer friendly (and powerful) console than the XBone.
There's no reason to assume that Bethesda will run into the same problems on the PS4, or that they're switching sides because of issues they had in the past.
The Skyrim/Fallout games sell too much on both platforms for them to ignore one.
I'm guessing a trailer at the least.

If Gabe Newell gets on stage for Sony's presser my face will literally melt.
My face did when he came out for Portal 2 especially after how he trashed the PS3 at the beginning of the gen.
That's in Pounds. If it ends up being £299, it will likely be $399 and 399 Euros.

For the record, I do not work at Bethesda anymore and I only linked to that page because it shows I have some insight into the industry. I brought up Fallout 4 because it's a no brainer.
Left 4 Dead on PS4

Guys I don't think PS+ would be available for the PS4 day one.
Do you know anything about which platforms Fallout 4 is coming to?
Agree. $499 and they haven't learned anything.
"GAF" believes every 3rd party is cuddled up with MS.
Turns out the Steam box is actually the PS4. Mind Blown.
I would imagine that it would have to be something to do with Gaikai streaming.

If it's anything like that, it'll be the first time I actually choose the 'basic' version over the premium.
qa_engineer

Nope. But if you look at Bethsoft's track record they tend to develop for all platforms. And given that both platforms this gen are nearly identical one could deduce that its coming to PC, PS4 and Xbone.
Edit: By 'this gen' I meant the upcoming consoles and not PS3/Xbox360

I think PS+ came out for the vita a couple of months/weeks after last year's E3
Any other info you can spill without getting in any trouble? Doesn't have to be about Fallout 4 either.

Whatever the service transforms into will be on PS4 day 1, even if it is just discounts, cloud saves and the like.

I would buy it at $499.

PS4's hardware is a simple convert from PC games.
Do You Have Any Idea How Epic This Move Would Be.
Beats an EA exclusive deal in my book.

Yea, because steam blows out of the circular fan every time 8GBs of GDDR5 are accessed.
I wonder why people think its going to be exclusive to the XBone.

aren't MS going to be busy showing off their 15 first party titles? >_>
