It's kinda annoying that so many launch titles are packaging different preorder bonuses based on where you buy them. If I preorder something, I want all the bonuses that come along with that. The way they're dividing up the perks makes me suspect that we'll be getting swindled on dlc later. If I have to pay 70-75 bucks, instead of 50-60, so be it. But I want ALL of the game I buy, not fragmented pieces.

Never been concerned about headsets. I have a Turtle Beach, the official PS3 Bluetooth, Bluetooth I got with Warhawk, and a USB headset I got from Walmart. The PS3 works with pretty much any USB or Bluetooth headset. PS4's probably the same, but they're packing one in which is dope.

The DS4 has a jack for a proprietary headset below the PS button, but I'm talking about the speaker above it on the controller. Some games will have sounds come from the speaker on the controller. If I have headphones on I won't be able to hear anything coming out of the controller. I just hope games have a setting that can put the audio coming through the controller through the TV in case I have headphones on.

Yea that's what I meant. If you're using normal headphones the headphones will be the default audio output once you plug them in like any headphone so you won't miss out and if it's a Bluetooth headset then they'll probably just send the audio straight to the headset.

It's also a standard jack not a proprietary one. People would have gone mad if it was proprietary

I know the headphones will be the default audio output. I'll have them plugged into the TV. The system or controller won't know that though. Some games will have sounds come out of the speaker on the controller. I was watching a Killzone: Shadow Fall demo and the developer was talking about how they could use the speaker on the controller to tell the players certain things. I won't be able to hear that with headphones on.

My bad on the proprietary jack. I saw more than a typical headset input and thought it was going to be proprietary. It looks like a normal 2.5mm phone jack. The input to the left of it is probably for something separate.

I don't think people would have that much of a problem if it was proprietary though. Sony would probably still let third party accessory manufacturers make cheap alternatives like they do with other peripherals like controllers. Millions of people with iPhones and iPods are OK with the proprietary charging cables over standard USB cables.

That's been a problem even in this current generation. Best Buy, Amazon, Game Stop, and whoever else have their own pre-order bonuses. Fracturing the content. You get whatever content depending on where you pre-order from, but if you want the other content the stores you didn't pre-order from are offering, you have to pay for the DLC.

I'd rather all games be 5 bucks and buy $60 worth of optional DLC than for them to keep doing what there doing. Games like gran turismo with 10+ $5 car packs or COD with 4+ $15 map packs end up costing 150 by the end of their life cycle. I might as well get subscriptions like warcraft type stuff

ps4 is going to destroy xb this generation and that’s that

The Charger is gonna plug right under the light bar.

The thing on the left of the headphone jack looks like a remote or a new peripheral would plug in just like on the PSP.

You're not the only one. I was a live guy too even tho I've liked the 2k bball game. I just felt Live was a lot easier to play.

Don't use a bank account though. They will try to authorize that ASAP.

i thought it looked good 

And they were saying the behind closed doors reviews impressed even more.

yea I cant wait to see what live is gonna be like...I just feel like 2k has been the same every year now pretty much, looking for a change. I used to love live back in the day.

Why the multiple quotes??

Why the multiple quotes??

I didn't quote everything from the source.
I know some people switch off when they see a wall of text so I just did it in bite sized chunks
