    Taking a break from the Preorder Smiting he issued to Microsoft that they're licking their wounds from? After all God does rest every so often.

    Quotes on the PS4 controller is that it's "alot beefier" feeling and that the grip material on the handles help to alleviate "360 controller addiction". So you might not even need to put up with a shitty controller.

    Amazon won't ship outside of the territory each website serves - he'd have to have an intermediary to manage that to my knowledge. PS: Your avatar is more terrifying than the 666 pic.

    Well now the system is almost palatable to me - 5/10 on a want scale (didn't update with the "+1" for at least including KI with the base unit) - give me a version without the bloated TV control and Kinect stuff I could give a shit about (or some other means to get it to $300-350 where its...

    Good point wife's PS3 isn't hardwired unlike mine and it is quite slow in comparison. Their WiFi works reliably but the throughput is shit in this gen.

    For direct download I've never seen faster - P2P (like the WoW client DL is by default) is a different beast to compare against. I can pull faaaaaar higher with P2P too (Hell, I've pulled well seeded 2+ GB files in under 10 min [maybe slightly higher - I know I've set up a bunch and before I was...

    The Last of Us

    No whispers of it that I've seen - and would fit Naughty Dog philosophy of sticking to a single console - all their ports have been done by a second party to my knowledge. That said the Gaikai cloud thing will likely do PS+ and "Best of PS3" titles first - so probably would come around within a...

    Eh? I don't get the PSN DL speed complaints - admittedly it was ALOT slower on Comcast vs my current FIOS - but I was able to grab UC3 in full in about 8 hrs - so about 5-6 GB/hr.

    Sounds believable to me - the USPS needs to expand it's model some to thrive again - and that would be a great opportunity for the USPS if they can step up their game. Just hopefully they can do it up to the current standards we expect of Amazon shipping.

    Technically Soy was inaccurate here - PS4 will run PS3 stuff via the Cloud at some point in 2014. (With the delays with Vita getting PS1/PS2 classics to run on it - I'd expect that to be late 2014 - not early) PS3 titles won't run on it Day 1, and we don't know once they start how fast...

    Heh, just wait - it's a long ways off but there's eventually a spot with 3-4. Thankfully I'd refined my strat with them enough that it was no problem - but you absolutely need to learn how to trivialize them eventually. I can't imagine how I could've handled them without some trivialization...

    Rule of thumb for most of the shipments that I've seen from UPS/FedEx is that over $250 it's required regardless of what the shipping company requested. Will be the first time going this high with Amazon personally though. Not that it matters for me fortunately - wife and I have schedules...

    I'd only want the KB part myself unless its just PNP so everyone can myself - typing messages is so time consuming on a controller. And KI is free with XBone - slightly better value - still not enough to care personally but interesting.

    I wonder if they'll just bite the bullet this time and allow KBM without an adapter though KB was already doable (I think only wired though not tried a dongle wireless one since I use wired on my PC never had a wireless to try) but mouse was the hangup. Assuming EQNext is on PS4 would be...

    Heh mine flaked on me thus far too - EBay would be more consistent plus consumer protection, if eBay doesn't work I'll just do retail though $100 won't kill me especially with the wife primarily wanting it since she's the bigger hunk of our money these days.

    Well, I will say after seeing some clarifications on the "Family Plan" I'm actually went from a interest level (from 1-10) of 1 up to a 2 now. That article of his defending the price point doesn't make it sound like the $300-350 price tag I'd need to bump me up into buying it (as well as some...

    Developer by an independent studio without a publisher now - so the answer to that would be yes, they're indie. Just like how PopCap would not be under the "XBoxOne" criteria since they publish with EA.

    Good suggestion - little tight on money at the moment - but inspired me to actually glance at CL - and there's a 3G one up (not that I care about the 3G but still...) for $150 with a 4GB card "lightly used" - that I'm contacting the owner regarding. 4 days old in my case, hopefully still...

    Pretty sure there's Facebook hacks out there for stuff that's listed but "private" via filters - I've been hassled by some people that shouldn't be able to see stuff through my privacy settings before.

    And they're completely pushing XBox One stuff (except the system) out of the Best Sellers list - Best Sellers list is now PS4 dominated.

    The ones that include a 12 month PSPlus card save $10... but realistically no real benefit - I'd not risk delay over $10 myself.

    Yea, Thanks Obama! Also he's to blame for Obamaphones! (That were added to the Lifeline program by George W Bush in 2005 - and are actually cheaper than the other phone services the program offers - was a smart decision and was made by someone else - but lets blame Obama!)

    Decided to check on Amazon Best Sellers again - and there's actually THREE PS4 bundles in the top 20 list now - so 5 of the top 20 spots are PS4 hardware (7 if you count minor hardware - controller and camera). http://www.amazon.com/best-sellers-v...s/ref=sv_vg_11 This is proving ridiculous.

    Funny thing is for the "future proofing" (i.e. 'the cloud') PS4 actually has a proven cloud computing variant and they're going with a brand new one. But they're currently downplaying it, likely since the actual results for the end user are questionable.

    Apparently easy enough that it's actually listed as something to be wary of if you buy a used 360 on a number of sites. (And keep in mind Gamestop won't accept modded ones [or isn't supposed to] so it shouldn't be from modding the console)
