Video was painful, the design of the UI seems to lack identity, but the features have potential.

But that would kill the subplot!
I'm sorry, but are you talking about the same MS that released the unorganized, hot mess that is Windows 8? Because damn.
If it were an Xbone video he'd come back with a 2-liter of Diet Dew and a Doritos hat on.

I just love how they put a chick in there.lol Its like they think we all dream of meeting a girl gamer and think we can hook up with her because we play games together.
Oh wait.... they might have it right on that one. haha

Looks like PS4 will be replacing OkCupid.
...while the Xbone will be replacing Chatroulette.

Probably a better idea than trying to convert a significant other into a gamer. haha

Looks like the exact same text, probably a placeholder. Nice catch though.
Lmao, so good.
I don't know about Pinterest, but G+ switched to that multiple column design only about a month ago.

Sarah is obviously not real. More than likely she is a very deceptive porn bot trolling the PS4 community.

This.
Ok... it doesn't.
This
Does not look like this
Unless you're talking about the fact that they both contain rectangles. In which case, like I said in my original post, it takes more than a bunch of rectangles to be Metro (or Modern UI as Microsoft are calling it now).
It's coming to iOS.
Woo!
I would love it if they just went ahead and ripped off all the Steam groups features. Give me public/private groups, forums, chat rooms, and a calendar for events. I'm sick and tired off how time consuming and useless in game clans have been this gen.

Shame Sony will never release their new playstation app on WP8 :/
yeahe that would be really cool. Would love to have e.g. a German-Gaf Group on PS4
And the share button with Community/Clan-Forums? Show your matchwinning last second headshot kill on the forum
Yes i came to post similar question, you guys think one day we can get multiplayer and single player ONLY versions of the same thing? Or the fullpackage if you want it, in the future? I see you have to download one part first then the other later, but im sure they can just split them off in the future as seperate packages
Say call of duty as a example, they should make it so one day you can Just buy the single player portion only of the game, for less than the cost of the full game, And then if you want to add in multiplayer afterwards you can do so but it's going to cost you
How can the publishers benefit from this? As they wont want to lose money
Ok i'll use call of duty as a example day one prices:
Full game price (includes single and multiplayer parts of COD) £60
- cheaper all round for the gamer that wants to buy the full package, i know what your thinking? Why wouldnt everyone just buy this in the first place? Well people like myself who aren't interested in ever playing multiplayer or vice versa will benefit from a cheaper version of the game, but only get access to singleplayer, and then if one day i change my mind? It will cost me more than the original full game price and thats my own fault, but again i don't want multiplayer so i don't mind
Single player only portion £40 - then if you want to add the multiplayer part later on, it's gonna cost you more than the original price and thats up to you it will now have cost you £80, publishers win here, but if you never want to play multiplayer,you dont have to and its cheaper for you)
Multiplayer only portion £40 - then if you want to add the single payer later, again it's going to cost you more than the original Full game bundle, it's going to cost you another £40
Then sales later on say the follwoing year or whenever maybe you can buy the parts your missing for less than or the same price as the original full game
Sales example call of duty
Full game sale price is now £40
Single player only portion sale price is now £20
Multiplayer only portion sale price is now £20

Do we know if custom themes / wallpapers are supported yet?
Yeah this is incredible.
But I really dislike the UI, it looks like a fusion of the current UI ofthe Ps3 paired with microsofts metro design.
Also dat social media and facebook... urgh.
UI skins would be nice

That dude wants to get into Sarah's panties soo bad ... And he lives in a dump. He looks like he lives in an old fish market warehouse in China or something. Less creepy that the artifical Kinect living room with fake families though.
The UI is not half bad, multitasking and downloading while playing Knack is the way to go... Makes more sense than watching tv while playing a game, honestly. A little too much emphasis on social features and like and stuff, but hey, I guess it's expected nowadays.

She is as fake as her PSN ID :

It'd be absurd if they didn't sell themes again. I'm sure sony made some good money on them since they're so cheap to make and they also work well as promotional items to give out.
Dude's got fast fiber and he's crushing on Sarah. "Come join my friend zone" is what I got from that video, and some music I'm not too sure about.
Anyway, good to see the UI seems to have the basics covered.
Any word on voice search? The one thing I use really like Kinect for is voice search, even if I have to use the word "bing" and use a $100 motion detector instead of a $5 microphone.

There will be themes but my main concern is the actual UI, everything I see just looks bland. XMB and the old xbox blades were the perfect UI's this gen(the 2nd UI for xbox: NXE was perfect for netflix but then they ruined it).

A lot of this gives off a distinct "sequences shortened" kind of vibe. My gaming PC can't even alt-tab that quickly. I guess they are building this thing from the ground up with multitasking in mind but, still, I'll believe it can be that smooth and slick when I see it in real life.
True, but it's not really all that far from the old iGoogle design from almost a decade ago.
The Vita does genuinely switch that quickly, so it wouldn't surprise me.
Just means that it's private, not saying its a real not-made-for-marketing profile though.

really like the aspect that you can download games from psn via your smartphone, and the download starts directly on the PS4.

Oh man, I really hope you can buy "just single player" or "just multiplayer" or both and have varying prices. I don't know how feasible that is but that would be great.

Why does the guy live in a shed. It looked almost as bad as the pic that gets posted in every "show off your gaming setup" thread where there a Gamecube and a bottle of water in a sewer with a TV on a milk crate.
You can technically already do this with a ps3 and a smartphone. It's more of a pain in the ass than this though. I can't wait to get the PSN app.
