Has "ANY" Sony console been locked by region?
Really? PS1 and 2 both were.

I didn't remember that. Now that you bring that up I do remember the mods for the PS2 now.

This might make me actually consider getting one at some point. Just wish there was BC...
Edit: wait, are used games there for sure?

you can't put a price on sparks

i knew that they wouldn't force us to use the social shit if we didnt want to. i very much hate "social" features but as long as they don't force me to do it i can live with it.

Used games is anything but check.
I am pleased to hear about no always online, but I feel it's nothing more than a hollow bullet point/statement and the reality will be a console that's severely reduced in capability and features when offline.
How can a console block used games if it's not always online?

Require the user to go online to authorise the game otherwise it plays in a trial state or has features disabled.
There are a number of ways to encourage (force) people to go online without having to have the requirement of always online.
Dude will you drop it please?
I don't know how many times this has to be explain.

I've dropped it until there's more information, but I would like for you to explain the various contradiction and vague statements.
For example,
And then there's this,
Are we really going to keep pretending that the PS4 won't have a used games solution in place and that it will be much different to the online pass solution used now?

Sadly, with 8GB DDR5, I can't see anything less than $450
$450 is reasonable for all the shit they're packing in. This forum was full of "Will Buy at $399!" when it was still rumored to be 4GB of GDDR5.
be honest- $50 for the extra RAM premium would be worth it, as long as basic online play is still free.

PS4 without and internet connection is like an Xbox without LIVE
sounds good to me.
Haha I was just thinking this. Used games / not having to always be online are usually taken for granted, but I guess having the confirmation is nice, especially in light of the MS/NextBox rumors.

Good news in general. Not everyone has broadband even if you do, when PSN or your local internet provider goes down you can still play SP games at least. There's no downside to this.

Were they seeding all these horrible rumors about always-on, no used games, etc., just to make their announcement of a status quo console look really good?
It has. But sadly, its not 5ghz.

Good thing it has an Ethernet port, my Internet is bad as it is but my WiFi is even worse as I live not far from an airport and there are tons of interferences...
