You thought wrong. Everyone knows a member of CSF would go for the 60 fps every time.

Revoke your membership ASAP!

Nice talking points though. They'll change again when whoever made them can't make them stick.

Not to mention the PS4 camera (which is the biggest webcam I have ever seen) is $79 taking your PS4 (with inferior 3rd party games) up above Xbox One pricing.

Sony have got your back gamers!
It's $460 for the PS4 + Camera here, still $40 cheaper than the XBone. But why you'd even get the camera just yet is beyond me.

And the PS4 pricing in Aus is pretty lame on Sony's behalf, but it's still better value than the Xbone :)

I'd wager the majority of gamers wouldn't notice the crushed blacks or the sharpening, in the same way that most gamers wouldn't notice the difference between 900p and 1080p. A lot of people probably wouldn't even notice the inconsistent framerate in games like Ryse.

But if your main reason for buying a console is the graphics experience, then games fluctuating between 20 and 30fps would be a big problem, and losing black detail would be a big problem, and a scaler that applies aggressive sharpening filters to its games would be a big problem.

I agree mech :up:

Only thing is why do you need a big glowing light on your cheap controllers that wear out in a week or 2 unless you also got the camera?

PS4 is at the post office apparently. I don't think they even tried to deliver it. I didn't get a delivery attempt card in the mailbox. Just a text message.

Picked up my PS4 at lunch. Went home, plugged it in, turned it on, works like a charm! Updated, signed in, have Resogun, Contrast, and the FIFA demo downloading.

Put it in stand by mode. Have no idea if that allows it to keep downloading or not but will find out when I get home I suppose.

It's so tiny. Like waiting 3 years to jump in and get the remodel. I never get the remodel! So awesome. This thing will be the size of the Vita TV by the end of the generation!

Will buy an Xbox One eventually. Gonna need something cool and sturdy to sit my PS4 on. Two days before local launch. So worth it!

That's my exact experience, not dicking around, just worked. I guess my expectations were low-ish due to the Amazon FUD.

Enjoy Resogun, it's really good.

Apart from those with a console already, who's guarenteed a console this Friday? I unfortunately have to wait until mid Dec according to my EB, but they haven't said anything else.

Played a bit of Fifa. I don't know how to play soccer games so turned that off. Played Resogun and didn't really get into it at first though came back to it and it's starting to grow on me. Just feels strangely restrictive. I look at it and see Super Stardust but can't shoot 360 degrees.

I felt the same way when I started Resogun, but then you get used to being more evasive vertically, or freaking out and using a bomb.

It kinda blends old school side scroller and modern twin stick shooter.

The graphics though... it's the one game that feels truly next gen, so many particles...

I'd say The Spartan Show on twitch would say they were thankful they picked up the PS4 camera at launch.

I take it that is a dig at all the Twitch TV show workaround being unceremoniously yanked from people?

It has? The Spartan Show is a couple who created a show using The Playroom.

I was being positive of the camera.

I'm a bit miffed I missed the dude who got his wife so drunk she passed out, then undressed her for all the PS4 owners to see.

So I went to get my XBONE from GameHED's EB store, and there were these dorks lining up out the front for the PS4 launch tonight. Do you think they know that they could rock up there at 11:45pm with their pre-orders and get it straight away?

Just grabbed the 1tb hybrid SSD HDD from Amazon to upgrade my HDD - $90 + tax. Pretty decent. Can turn the old drive into an external drive I guess.

The overwhelming 'meh' on here you mean. Pretty well received elsewhere.
