OMFG.

September/October launch confirmed!!!

Release date is very soon = what I read as October, which is only 2 months away.

Good, good.

September. Its in the stars and will release with GTA 4

 

[nib95]

Makes sense, a few of their exclusives get a small window to sell before the crowded big releases. Then they have Battlefield 4 all to themselves from the 25th October, and Assassin's Creed Black Flags from October 30th. My guess is the Xbox One launches early November, maybe 5th, to coincide with Call of Duty Ghost's release date, launching later than that would be a big loss. Watch Dogs afaik is a late November release.

 

[Kabuki Quantum Lover]

What about games? Any new games they will announce?

The blog mentioned unannounced games so I think that's a given.

Spoiler

Ridge Racer Type 4 remake... of my dreams.

 

[Wynnebeck]

Release date is being announced next week. It was held because Japan was still being confirmed and they couldn't announce it confidently as early as June. Not to mention various other issues. It has little to do with MS. The release is very soon so MS wouldn't really be able to react regardless, but no specific date could be announced in confidence either a couple months ago.

[doomquake]

Red Dead PS4 bundle

wipeout XL PS4 bundle








ZERO DEVIDE

 

[Ovid]

October? Sounds good to me.

Looking forward to next gen gaming.

 

[Dead Prince]

with xbone confirmation of 13 markets. we'll see what sony will say as far as availability.

 

[DieH@rd]

It's hard to believe that just the other day the PS4 was just a rumored thing called Orbis. Now it's ready for prime time and Sony has accomplished what every gaming fan wanted out of a system. Good times to be around.

Same thing happened with NGP. When Sony announced that it will cost the same as 3DS, minds were blown.

The Agent was just the dude that negotiated this...it was never an exclusive game... OMFG..

yes yes YES!!

 

[Smiles and Cries]

Why don't you buy enough amazon credit and just let it chill in your account until the ps4 ships? Just keep buying gift cards until you have enough.

You can purchase gift cards and apply them to your order. It is what I have done for the PS4 and plan to start doing for the One.

Just realize if for whatever reason your preorder goes through, you will only have that money on Amazon. I purchase enough there for it not to be an issue regardless, and it should wind up being fine, but that is how it will work.

In regards to this rumor, would be nice if true. You would think regardless of when it is, we should get an announcement officially sometime soon.

you guys saved my PS4 thanks for the tip

 

[CREMSteve]

Oct 21 would be a superb release date, I have the following week off of work. It will be glorious.

 

[MogCakes]

This is going to be a hell of a holiday battle. More so than PS vs Xbox, I'm just interested in seeing all the consoles sell decently enough for a good start to the next gen (and in Wii U's case a revival).

@scalpers-defending-themselves-from-criticism: lol! People have a negative perception of scalping, it's not hard to understand. I can see why they would try to defend themselves, not exactly flattering to be called a shady merchant, even though as people who exploit launch day products to rip other people off for personal profit that's exactly what they are, capitalism-certified or not.

 

[Vashetti]

Good, good.

 

[e_i]

They better not announce for September. There are three Vita games I want: Rayman Legens, Ys, and Killzone. And those will eat up my video game money for the month.

 

[RadarScope1]

Gah. Can't wait for Gamescom. I really think they're going to have a lot if supply and hit many of those countries that MS just bumped to Tier 2. They've timed, done and said everything so well all year. Having ample supply in more territories weeks ahead of the competition would be just the latest step.

it's good for data. third ps4 won't be included in it. how microsoft will conduct their research.

I would cry tears of joy if they announce September (they won't but still), got my new projector and 117" screen coming in first week of September, and would love to give those babies the PS4 as a playmate right away.

 

[driver116]

Hmm...

So you know the games which will be announced at Gamescom?are they pretty big games?

 

[BlazingDarkness]

I hope they reveal some new ip for launch because the lineup so far is looking pretty thin. Having said that, the launch lineup doesn't indicate the future of the platform - Vita is a good example of strong launch selection and then pretty dire offerings in the months following.

 

[Bitmap Frogs]

Ooooh very early?

Please, be september, please be september!

 

[Law Abiding Stranger]

If it's October or even earlier and this is the first time we are hearing about it, then I am absolutely amazed how tight lock Sony has on everything.

Great internal staff.

 

[SirMossyBloke]

September would be amazing, but October is probably more like it. Can't wait.

 

[murgo]

Holy shit.. if this baby gets released next month.. OMFG

 

[Jezbollah]

If it's September I WILL SHIT MYSELF.

(to add to the discussion - it will be quite interesting to see how MS react)

 

[BadWolf]

At this point it doesn`t look like they can react.

 

[leehom]

I hope it's released in September so Amazon will ship to my current address saving me on taxes. When I move in October, I'll have to pay an extra $34

 

[Jonboy]

Is Vernedus' post new thread worthy? Seems like it to me.

 

[Dark_AnNiaLatOr]

I can't take this, it's too damn much@@!!!

 

[SPACECADET]

First I hear early november, then I hear october and now I'm hearing september speculations/hopes.

Well I hope it come out this month then.

 

[Slayer-33]

Holy shit

 

[msdstc]

If it's next month I will aboslutely flip out. This is insanity.

 

[netguy503]

Hmm...

we aren't in 1995.

 

[Mr. Luchador]

No. No way it September. No, no way.

 

[Dynedom]

My parents are going to Toronto in October. If this launches in October, I'm going to have to sneak a preorder in unless it's too late (which it probably is).

Japan being confirmed for what, release this year?

 

[The Elite]

Thread title still needs to be updated to the "Week of..."

I believe the guy who started the rumor mentioned that.

 

[a secret-boss]

yes pls pls be september. before my vacation

 

[RadarScope1]

Hmm...

I've been think about that, too. Heh. So much of what Sony is doing has an underlying current that harks back to PS1 and PS2.

I've posted before that I think Oct is not only possible but probable. That wouldn't be a surprise, in my mind. But Sept would be truly nuts ... And also not likely at all. Would be cool, though!

 

[The Elite]

#ps4august23rdrelease

It was actually released last week!

 

[TacticalFox88]

At this point, I think a November release is actually far fetched.

October seems extremely likely.

Now if they REALLY wanted to kick MS in the balls, release it late September.

 

[Valnen]

No. No way it September. No, no way.

Yeah they'll give people at least a month and a half warning I'm sure. Would be dumb if they announced a release date just a few weeks away from the actual release =/.

 

[flyinpiranha]

What games would be ready in September?

That would be awesome though, although I'd be playing GTA V.

yes just in time for my birthday.

 

[DrZeus]

Next month? Oh jeebus

BROKE AND HYPED!

Exactly how I'm thinking about it.

Oh please, it was a bit of fun.
