PS4 Launched in NA, Euro Launch 29th

[Trent the Paladin]

Out of curiosity, is anyone else getting one on launch or are you waiting? I know I'm pretty excited and cannot wait for Friday to get here sooner. Battlefield 4, Assassin's Creed IV, and Killzone Shadow Fall are some of the big name games I plan on picking up (already have my copy of Shadow Fall).

 

[Prof Gallows]

Yes, when I can afford it. So next year maybe.

WOO PLAYSTATION 4. I want Infamous.

 

[Trent the Paladin]

Picked mine up today! Got Killzone: Shadow Fall, Battlefield 4, Assassin's Creed IV, and Need for Speed: Rivals. Will be (attempting) to stream some Battlefield 4 here if anyone is interested.

What's going on with the top of the Bell Tree Forums? I'm seeing some Playstation Move Joysticks.

I'll probably end up waiting a year or two until all the kinks have been ironed out and maybe a price drop. The common RROD and YLOD issues with the first couple models of last generation's consoles made me really cautious about jumping the gun and getting the new ones right away. Plus, there really aren't any PS4 games announced that I'm really "OMG MUST HAVE" about yet.

I'm waiting because I don't buy consoles at launch anymore. I refuse to buy into the hype and then have the console sit there later gathering dust and not being used. This only happened once (the original Wii) even though I've been gaming for about 25 years, but it still bothered me enough that I don't do it anymore. There has to be at least a handful of games I want *and* at least 1 price drop.

That being said, I'll buy it eventually. I have owned every other Playstation, with the exception of the Vita (Vita *still* doesn't have enough games for me to justify buying it).

I'm pretty sure that was Jub's doing. I like it. Just need to change the name to the lonely playstation board home to Tom.

YLOD wasn't terribly widespread as RROD I think, but I can understand that reasoning. So far there's been some DOA PS4s and a few issues so far but overall I'm enjoying my experience.

The Wii was quite boring for awhile and it didn't help that the only games that came out for a while was minigames. At least there was a backlog of titles for me to play on handhelds and older consoles.

Respectfully disagree with the Vita bit, there's plenty of great Vita titles. Maybe not physically but there is plenty on the digital side of things with more coming. Tearaway next week for example.

Well I'm digging Battlefield 4, Killzone, and Need for Speed. ACIV plays it safe and fun too. Truthfully I've enjoyed some of the digital titles more than them. Sound Shapes and Blacklight is great.

If you can find one, Killzone, ACIV, Need for Speed & if your like sport games NBA 2k14.

Stay away from battlefield until Dice/EA fixes it. BF4 is broken on every platform.

Just finished Killzone last night, the detail & graphics are amazing in it.

 

[Trent the Paladin]

Battlefield 4 is fun when you stick to MP. SP will leave you miserable and usually anything above 32 players (hell 20 really) will have servers crashing. They've rolled out MP server patches that might have improved it but I can't be for sure.

 

[Midoriya]

I'm waiting till my birthday next year to get it. Definitely something to look forward to.

I wouldn't expect some price drop next year, but two years from now seems reasonable I guess.
