Well that's a big tick in the negative column.

It's pretty much the only one as far as I can see. £80 cheaper at launch.

 

[phillgt2002]

$399. I think MS wins the games department but in the consumer department Sony wins.

 

[Eks]

$399.

Man, I almost feel bad for MS.

 

[Tornado]

So what the hell is Microsoft gonna do now?

Sit in a corner and cry.

 

[RACECAR]

Wow, $399. And suddenly, I've gone from "Wait until price drops" to "Pre-order this damn thing the first chance I get".



Sony has just killed Microsoft, no other way to put it.

 

[DJW_GT]

For the UK I'm gonna guess at a £349 base price... I hope I'm right!

Now, did I call it, or did I call it?

Nice one Sony, really impressed with what I've seen today! 👍

Microsoft su-ucks! *clap, clap, clap-clap-clap*

They will have to do an about face and cut their prices or something. That's the problem with going first, they got killed because I am going to assume Sony was going to undercut Microsoft regardless.

 

[Tornado]

Oh god, he stuck the knife in again just before it ended.

Playstation 4: Greatness awaits!

Epic slogan!

 

[iRevelationz]

PS4 wins. Good game.

 

[Samus]

So what the hell is Microsoft gonna do now?

Their only hope is going to be that either a) they have a strong enough following that people still won't care or b) they launch the subsidised mobile phone contract version that will appeal to people with the lower lump sum.

 

[Wiegert]

£350 is exactly what I expected and hoped it would be. Having to pay for online multiplayer is a slight downside, but I'm used to paying for XB Gold as it is, and the incentives for PS+ will be a hell of a lot greater than they are currently.

So what the hell is Microsoft gonna do now?

"Go home."

 

[marxlien]

399, awesome, that's cheaper than a smartphone for a 7 years product.

 

[phillgt2002]

Here comes the stupidity.

 

[Eks]

Great conference tonight. Sony nailed this one.

 

[Waheed]

Everyone should have Ps+, so it's not a big negative after all

 

[HAL20XX]

I'm buying both.

I win.

 

[Ddrizle]

$399!

 

[gjeff12]

Sneaky moves there at the end. "We aren't doing the bad Microsoft stuff... Benifitsofps+includeonlinegaming. Ooh! Look at Destiny!"

 

[maxpontiac]

Well, I guess that rules out me holding off on the PS4.

 

[Samus]

I'm buying both.

I win.

I'm sure most real gamers would love to do that but most of us don't have nearly £800 going spare.

Great conference tonight. Sony nailed this one.

I feel the conference was half assed on the game side and I think they felt as if they didn't have to say much about them. Basically, all Sony had to say is that there was no DRM. It was quite boring. The price is great though but with paying for multiplayer I'm thinking of just taking all of my money, building a super PC, and purchasing those two consoles later down the road.

Seppuku seems to be in order for those losers.

 

[TokoTurismo]

This was the best night ever Sony, was well worth it. Sony4ever!!

 

[Snaeper]

So the only negative is that I now have to pay $5 a month to play online?

Sold.

 

[Lizard]

How much is it for new plus then? I thought I saw $5 a month. Is that right?

Edit I guess it is.

Its really a no win though. You pay with multiplayer on MS as well and isn't XBL now the same price as PS+? Makes it a wash.

Edit I guess it is.

Which is up less than $1 a month if you average out the costs from PS+ for PS3. Might as well just renew and buy extra.
