I'm very surprised they didn't show the box. But not surprised by lack of price. Prices are NEVER shown this early for console launches. Usually revealed just prior to launch maybe. Could be shown at E3, but I wouldn't be surprised if we didn't see it until August/September time frame. Don't think it was really rushed.
Solid show. Not fantastic, but not cringe-worthy either. Best things for me: 8 GB GDDR5 RAM, support for Suspend/Resume, Watch_Dogs (please fix that screen tearing, though), and that new Capcom game codenamed Deep Down. Worst things: Square-Enix, not showing the console itself. Also underwhelmed by Knack and that new inFamous game. The new Killzone game looked good graphically but I have no interest in the game itself. Also feeling a bit meh at Jonathan Blow's new game "The Witness"...and I'm not fond of Blow himself. Overall, I'm much happier with Sony's overall vision here than I am with Nintendo's Wii U and Microsoft's (rumored) direction with the next Xbox. It is looking probable that next gen will be PC + PS4 for me. With 8 GB GDDR5 RAM, I'm expecting a $499 launch price.
I share mostly the same opinions (slight difference in opinions on the games, but nothing major). I like the 8GB of GDDR5, but that (plus the included cameras that I believe are bundled in) make $400 seem a little unlikely. But wow...8GB.
Don't think there is a video that shows everything yet. Gametrailers and probably every major gaming site out there has videos from individual segments of the even though. Check them out.
Some tidbits from PS4 PR: BD 6x. New Eye has impressive specs. http://www.scei.co.jp/corporate/release/pdf/130221a_e.pdf http://www.scei.co.jp/corporate/release/pdf/130221b_e.pdf http://www.scei.co.jp/corporate/release/pdf/130221c_e.pdf
Umm, real-time? It can't be can it? <iframe width="560" height="315" src="http://www.youtube.com/embed/d9UmHm9HA3c" frameborder="0" allowfullscreen></iframe>
Sounds like Sony will allow for used games on PS4: http://www.eurogamer.net/articles/2...gamer-playstation-4-will-not-block-used-games I love interviews/chats with Yoshida. I'm too lazy to link the article, but they asked him why they didn't show the PS4 itself, and he responds with, "Why do you care?" He was just joking, then gave a better explanation (basically amounts to them wanting to save some surprises for E3 and later in the year...sounded like they even thought about not showing the controller, but it would have been too weird to have demos without it).
It was a decent showing. PS4 is trying to focus in and be all about games this time around, while Microsoft seems to want to expand and be a full-on media device. This is a flip-around of last generation. To be honest, I don't care much about any of the sharing and social stuff. If I am buying this, it's gotta be reasonably priced. Lately though I have been thinking of giving up console gaming and just going into PC gaming by building a good PC.
Here's something no one talks about, I want to know if they'll be using sata2/3. That way when I spend $200-$300 on a SSD for my gaming console, I know it'll be put to use and not limited to sata1 speeds.
I still have Gran Turismo 2 and a few other Playstation games from old... and my daughters and I play them on my PS3. like some BUZZ and sports games...

will it support VGA like the 360? I'm one of the few that only play on a CRT for the rich and deep color. this will be my deal breaker.
