I missed the release, have they confirmed that games will be activation coded like on PC.

I've found myself getting less and less interested when it comes to videogames. I probably won't buy an Xbox one or a PS4 just the same as I haven't bought a Wii U.
There is more than enough of a back catalogue of games for the NES right up to this current generation to keep me going for the rest of my life. This new 'online multiplayer' generation of gaming has really put me off.
I miss the days when to play multiplayer you and three friends would be sat round a tv together having a laugh.

We never are, at least on anything bar Football Manager. On FIFA a handful of teams have their official ground, then 90% of the clubs play in a generic one that's roughly the size of their real-life equivalent.

As a long time PlayStation user, I'm not confident, as it seems as though game publishers are gaining greater and greater power over the decisions being made by console manufacturers.
I'm almost at the point where I might just build myself a high-end PC rig, hook it up to my TV and alternate between that and my PS3.

I think I may join you on the PC gaming if Sony fail to capitalise on the mistake that is the Xbox one. If the PS4 has similar requirements then I see no reason to own an next gen console.

All Sony has to do is say 'we're not forcing DRM' to win the PR battle. They could even make it available and leave it to publishers to retain the bragging rights. They've already confirmed that they won't require people to be online in order to use the PS4, so they're saying all the right things so far.
It'll all be undone when the actual console is unveiled and it's in the shape of a swastika.

Correct. In some ways letting Microsoft take all the heat over the Xbone may well turn out to be a great move, even if it was unintended. Provided they make the right calls after this, of course.
Nah, knowing Sony, they'll mess it up by announcing all of their release titles will be hentai JRPGs and sequels to Little Big Planet

As the Champions League advertising and a full-page in the Metro announced PS4 as coming 2013, I think Europe aren't being left behind for once. If they announce an RRP along the lines of £350 or under (they surely can't approach the astronomical PS3 launch price as gaming is a completely different beast now) and don't pull out any nasty shocks I'm in for launch I reckon.
It almost correlates exact with the amount I'll save by not getting a season ticket next year. Every cloud!

Hitting Europe makes perfect sense, given Microsoft's Xbone launch was basically a succession of people chanting "USA! USA! USA!" and talking about how wonderful it will be to watch the NFL :facepalm:

That's interesting about the price tag, I read an article a couple of days ago saying it'll launch for under $400 ($399.99?). Which would be about £300 here. If Sony manage to launch the new console for £300 and without the DRM, used game shite. Then the PS4 has already won the next gen console 'war'.

No DRM - you can trade-in, buy second-hand and lend games to friends as normal
No 'online authentication' just to be able to play your own console
£349 RRP - £80 less than XBone
I think it's fair to say Sony have won the PR battle.

Where did you pre order it from?
Marty

Which is how much?? Don't current PS+ subscribers get a few free games every month too?
ajsccfc

The current one is something like £12 for 90 days or £40 for the year, with free games each month and I think a discount on nearly everything from the PS Store. People I know who subscribe rave about it too.

Excellent, I'm happy to pay £2-£3 a month for a decent service with the added bonus of free games, I don't even see the point in Microsoft releasing the Xbox One, nobody in their right mind would want to buy one after seeing the PS4.
