Ekona Posted June 19, 2013 Posted June 19, 2013 Shame that because of people stuck in the past, we've now lost the ability to share with 10 other people digitally That was a great idea, just a shame the market isn't ready for it yet. Also, no region lock! Quote
KyleR Posted June 19, 2013 Posted June 19, 2013 Apparently the PS4 is sold out for launch day already, so if you haven't placed your pre-order you'll have to wait a bit for it Quote
Dblock Posted June 20, 2013 Posted June 20, 2013 Apparently the PS4 is sold out for launch day already, so if you haven't placed your pre-order you'll have to wait a bit for it Wow didnt see that coming... Quote
Ekona Posted June 20, 2013 Posted June 20, 2013 Not true, you can still pre-order from Amazon for day one delivery. Game's website doesn't detail either way. Quote
M13KYF Posted June 20, 2013 Posted June 20, 2013 Official update on DRM and daily sign in. All changed for the better http://news.xbox.com/2013/06/update Quote
KyleR Posted June 20, 2013 Posted June 20, 2013 Not true, you can still pre-order from Amazon for day one delivery. Game's website doesn't detail either way. After a little bit of research it appears its only Amazon USA thats sold out of their allocation of the PS4. http://www.ibtimes.co.in/articles/480038/20130618/sony-ps4-pre-order-gaming-console-launch.htm Quote
Ekona Posted June 20, 2013 Posted June 20, 2013 Gamestop US have sold out of their allocation of XB1. Trouble is it's all very well and good saying they've sold out, which makes it looks like demand is there, but if they've only been allocated very small numbers of the SKU in the first place then it's irrelevant.

True, I guess it's all marketing. I remember the Wii being basically impossible to get unless you had per ordered or were willing to wait until after the new year, caused loads of hype and sold millions. Quote
AK350Z Posted June 22, 2013 Posted June 22, 2013 A little artificial scarcity goes along way in the PR stakes - especially if it's on the run up to Christmas. Quote
Sarnie Posted June 22, 2013 Posted June 22, 2013 I might order a few, add a premium, flog them on ebay so that I end up with a free one! Quote
DoogyRev Posted June 25, 2013 Posted June 25, 2013 Here is something to go along with your shiney new Eggs Boxes https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=q1OHzhsbIMs&feature=player_embedded Could make COD fun Quote
Ekona Posted August 20, 2013 Posted August 20, 2013 All pre-orders now come with a free copy of FIFA14 Not my cup of tea really, but I won't pass up a free game. Quote

neo Posted August 20, 2013 Author Posted August 20, 2013 better than nothing i guess (not played a football game since sensible soccer/kick off on the amiga A500) Quote
rtbiscuit Posted August 20, 2013 Posted August 20, 2013 Am very tempted now on one. Might just have to wait till they drop in price a little Quote
Ekona Posted August 20, 2013 Posted August 20, 2013 That's a good year away from launch at least. You'll still be up to your eyeballs in nappies then Quote
Fodder Posted August 20, 2013 Posted August 20, 2013 Had one on preorder as soon as you could. Looking forward to it but having to lay out money on peripherals such as play and charge kits is a bit of a pain especially as I have several for the 360 already. Also not sure about kinect 2 , always thought it a bit of a gimic and as the console will be going into my *ahem* office it's not likely to get any use. Just hope you don't have to have it connected all the time Quote
rtbiscuit Posted August 20, 2013 Posted August 20, 2013 I don't use the motion control much but I do use the voice control a lot on mine especially when watching movies on netflix Quote
Ekona Posted August 20, 2013 Posted August 20, 2013 Just hope you don't have to have it connected all the time You don't, it was confirmed last week. Quote
M13KYF Posted August 21, 2013 Posted August 21, 2013 Just hope you don't have to have it connected all the time You don't, it was confirmed last week. longer than that, 2 months ago Quote
Ekona Posted August 21, 2013 Posted August 21, 2013 Nope, just checked: It was confirmed on Aug 13th. They said back in May that you could turn it off, but it wasn't confirmed you could unplug it until then. Sauce Quote

Fodder Posted August 21, 2013 Posted August 21, 2013 Thanks, useful to know. Will obviously try it but doubt the motion side will be of any real use to me. Admittedly the voice side could be interesting though. Just hope it doesn't stop me playing for using profanity every time I crash/die Quote
Ekona Posted August 21, 2013 Posted August 21, 2013 The voice side is the thing I'm looking forward to the most. Not necessarily for me, but if it can work with Sky and other media sources it would make the whole system much friendlier for the other half to use. Project Spark is capable of motion capture via Kinect, now that really is something promising. Quote
