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.

Email Amazon/Sony and see if you can get a new one shipped out to you.

On the phone waiting to get to a Sony rep now.

If I were you I agree with Horhay and Id contact SONY first. Chances are if your system if part of the isolated issue you may get something special for the problem but if you want to just get playing again soon fast go with amazon.


Do you have more than 1 hdmi cable you could try.

I switched the HDMI cord that came with the 4 with my PS3 cord, it seems to be working perfectly now. I'm still going to talk to a rep just in case.

A recording on the Sony support line says the network is down and they are working on the problem.

Doing a quick preview of the BD playback. When you skip chapters a temporary pop up shows up on the bottom of the screen with the name of the movie, the thumbnail of the movie you're watching and the chapter number. Pretty cool imo.

 

[kryptonite]

It's unfortunate that no one is giving KNACK a shot. If I had a PS4, that'd be my first game.

I will try Knack but not at the 59.99 price...lol

Would the PS3 remote work with the PS4? How about the Harmony One?

PS3 remote doesn't work on the PS4 for me. I think I read hat Universal remotes won't work with the PS4 but not 100% on that.

 

[cbs777]

Well it seems just switching out the cables did the trick, thanks for the advice Xavier.

 

[taylorlarose]

Just beat Killzone campaign, it was meh, more of a confusing maze than a shooter.

Also is anyone having problems with code redemptions? My shadow pack code doesn't seem to work, and I can input over and over, and I got a week trial for PS Plus from Killzone, and it didn't seem to effect my playstation plus store.

NP glad you were able to get it working again
I figured the chances of having a possible dud cord was much higher than the system.However sometimes you never know. If the issues happen again HOPEFULLY THEY WONT get in contact with Sony asap.

Crossing my fingers, I tried it again and it started up in safe mode, but eventually booted up. I hope if it actually does fail it will be sooner then later.

Edit: just stopped working again even with changing HDMI cords, still on hold.

The PS4 does not support IR commands from remotes. That's why your remote probably won't work.

YOU LUCKY BASTARDS!!!!!!!!!! I'm happy for you NINJAS, cant wait until I finally own mime! When? Don't know!?

 

[Drum18]

Got my setup done.
Had some tweaking to do on my received since I only have 2 HDMI In. One for my Cable Decoder and one for the new PS4.
So, since I still want to use my PS3 to play GTA V, had to change it to Component.

Now PS4 is running. BF4 installed. All Update completed.
Baby Drum is sleeping... time for Miss Drum to go to bed too so that I can test the beast!!!

Issue I had I tried to recover my account and would not let me so my brother created a new one. I then went and set up my account to recover it. Also let the disc fully install and now letting us play COD.

I spent a lot of time running around looking for the collectibles.
