UPDATE:

A press release reveals the machine will include an 8-core 64-bit x86 "Jaguar" CPU developed by AMD and a Radeon GPU with the capability of terrorizing televisions with 1.84 TFLOPS of gaming goodness.

PlayStation 4 includes a Blu-ray drive that spins game discs a brisk 6X and 8X for DVDs. Additional specs in the release note the, already revealed, 8GB of unified GDDR5 RAM along with 802.11n WiFi capability, USB 3.0 ports, Bluetooth 2.1 and ports for optical audio, HDMI and even legacy analog AV hook-ups. Though the console will have internal storage, Sony did not detail its size.

Sony's plan is to launch its new PlayStation 4 console this holiday season. No specific date or price was revealed during the reveal event.

The PS4's main features include:

• - New DualShock 4 controller with built in touchpad
• - Dramatically improved graphics and processing power
• - Based on same X86 chips used in desktop computer to help game developers
• - 3D camera that can track the controller, and the player
• - Games can also be played on Sony's Vita handheld console

The future of PlayStation is all about great games and entertainment, and at PlayStation Meeting 2013, we brought some of the brightest and most creative minds from the development community on stage to unveil the games that will define PS4. A partial initial lineup for PlayStation 4 includes first-party games from Guerilla Games (Killzone: Shadow Fall), Sucker Punch (inFamous Second Son), Evolution Studios (Driveclub), and Japan Studio (Knack), as well as titles from our partners such as Activision/Bungie (Destiny), Blizzard Entertainment (Diablo III), Capcom (Deep Down), and Ubisoft (Watch_Dogs). PlayStation also reinforced its commitment to self-publishing and the independent development community by having Jonathan Blow onstage who gave a sneak peek of his upcoming title The Witness. Finally, the incredible minds at Media Molecule and Quantic Dream gave glimpses of their conceptualization process and the future of gameplay with some remarkable footage. We only scratched the surface at the event, and will have many more exciting titles to come.

Our next generation console will change the way you interact with friends while you play. PlayStation 4 lets you instantly share images and videos of your favorite gameplay moments on Facebook with a single press on the DUALSHOCK 4 controller’s “share” button. You can also broadcast while you play in real-time through Ustream, allowing friends to comment or jump into your game in new ways.

With PlayStation 4 we also want you to access your games quicker than ever before. PS4’s “suspend mode” eliminates the load time on your saved game and allows you to immediately return to where you left off by pressing the power button. PlayStation 4’s background downloading and updating capability also allows you to immediately play digital titles as they download, or update the system when the hardware is powered off.

DUALSHOCK 4 adopts the familiar form factor of the DUALSHOCK 3 wireless controller with some key enhancements:

• - Motion control is enabled by a new highly sensitive six-axis sensor
• - Dual analog sticks fine-tuned for better precision plus improved surface materials and shape for more delicate manipulation
• - L2/R2 buttons on the top of the controller employ a curved design for easier, smoother interaction
• - A new “Options” button combines the functions of the DUALSHOCK 3’s “Select” and “Start” buttons for operating in-game menus

You can see more images of the new DUALSHOCK 4 controller here.

I am assuming this was to the people that already had PS4 games pre-ordered.

 

[adrenaline78]

oh.. I only had the system ordered. Hopefully I get a code. Was it added to your account automatically? Or was it a code they sent. If it was a code, care to share to see if it isn't unique?

 

[taylorlarose]

So because the people wanted Amazon to do the Target deal, everyone cancelled their pre-orders in favor of Target, so then Amazon turns around and rewards the few who decided to keep their amazon preorders?

It's an individual code, it was not added to my account.

I emailed Amazon early in the morning about the Target deal and if they were in fact going to match it. I didn't hear back from them, but I would email them to see if they can do something about it.

 

[adrenaline78]

I just emailed them. Hopefully they will give me a code.

Got the e-mail with the code as well. Getting Knack for sure, but can't decide between Need For Speed or Battlefield for my second game.

 

[rawrosaur12345]

Got an email as well, gonna use it to get ACIV and NBA 2K14. Glad amazon decided to match it because I have gift card I can use

 

[Sixteenvolt420]

Ended up going with Knack and Battlefield 4, seeing Burnout Paradise is the last car game i thoroughly enjoyed.

30 PSN Plus + $10 PSN credit on all US/CA PS4s!

Expect to find a 30-day trial for PlayStation Plus, a $10 voucher for the PlayStation Store, and a 30-day trial for Music Unlimited in your new PS4 if you live in the US or Canada. Sony has announced via the PlayStation Blog that, for a limited time, new consoles will come with these three pack-ins to help new users get all nice and comfy with their shiny new box.

While PS Plus will be required for online multiplayer on the PS4, you'll also get access to the Instant Game Collection and the ability to cloud-save your games. The PS4 will also limit your music-listening options to Music Unlimited - which is kind of ironic when you think about it - so if you want to crank some tunes, the trial will get you started.

The $10 voucher is arguably the real treat here, as you can use it however you like in the PlayStation Store. Movies, games, TV shows and more will be available on your new PS4, but if you're a Call of Duty fan, you've probably already noticed that $10 is the same amount it will cost to upgrade from a PS3 copy of Call of Duty: Ghosts to a PS4 copy.

Update: Note that Ghosts isn't the only game that can be upgraded for $10. Battlefield 4 will also be available to upgrade for the same price, as will Assassin's Creed 4: Black Flag and Injustice: Gods Among Us Ultimate Edition.

Switch NBA Live for NBA 2K14, you will be much happier.

 

[Xavier]

Im irritated with myself because I had canceled about a week ago the games I had on order when I found out about the target deal. Hopefully I can cash in on amazons B2g1 tho.






Also I have a question for the B2G1 FREE say I buy 3 games and only found 2 I really wanted and the Third was out of stock so I bought another random off title game. Well 3 days later the third game I really wanted was back in stock but the sale was over could I "trade" out games if I kept it sealed.Thanks to anyone who replies

[Horhay]

Switch NBA Live for NBA 2K14, you will be much happier.

Been telling him the same thing for years, but he needs a slam dunk button and a shooting button...

 

[cooey]

I would like to be optimistic about us in the UK getting the B2G1F but i very much doubt it,we almost always miss out on good deals like this.

 

[cooey]

I'm in the tier 3 of pre-ordering, but they've guaranteed me I'll have it before Xmas which is good enough for me

Am I right in thinking with PS + I only need one subscription and that'll run across both the PS3 and PS4?

Yes,you only need one subscription and it will work on PS3,4 & vita.I'm sure it's only £30 for the year at blockbuster,but it's a risk ordering online.i still think you can get £60 in PSN vouchers for £50 from shopto.
