There will be a much better battery in it though [MENTION=2722]Mick03[/MENTION]
They are just mobile phone lithium iron battery's and they've come a long way. I'm sure there will be a beefy battery in it.

as stated. it's rumoured to be a touch pad not a touch screen, so like the reverse of the vita.

So is that picture Vip posted fake? It suggests that it's a touchscreen rather than just a pad. Either way it will hike the price up quite a bit, DS3's are £40 new, I can see these ones being at least £60.

they way I was think of it Makavelian is a like a vita. it has a 5/6 hour life span on one charge and that is with a lot of thing off and screen brightness down. the pad will have a constant bluetooth connection speaker and "screen" as well as gyro and/or rumble featurs.

also thinking about it is the touch pad in a god place? I mean holding a pad normally (thumbs on anolog sticks) I can not reach the centre of the pad easily with my thumbs (anolog sticks in the way). i think it would be better on the back of the pad like the vita's.

not sure where I read it but i think i saw a feature of the pad that it will have internal memory that will incorporate with the new "share" button for pictures when on a friends ps3. I am sure there's more to it. Would be a decent feature for game saves, like a old school memory card inside the pad

totally fake. its a gif made by a Neogaf user. we won't see until wed at earliest.
 
If this is true I will literally shit myself, never in my wildest dreams did I see it being this low, and neither did anyone else.

When Sony unveils its new PlayStation device this week, it will be far cheaper than many experts had expected — a price tag that, it is hoped, will lure millions of customers into buying its latest video games console.

Industry sources and leaked internal documents suggest that Sony is considering pricing the new device at about £300, more than £100 cheaper than the starting cost of its predecessor, the PlayStation 3

Considering the Wii U was £309.99 and being sold at a loss, I cannot imagine how a £300 PS4 can be sold at anything other than a HUGE loss for Sony, but I guess they're counting on first party game sales, and lifetime console sales to counter ballance the initial hit.

Has to be some catch for that price! Like no 2nd hand games being playable.


Also, what's up with The Times website?! Why on earth do you have to subscribe to view the whole article?
 
I couldn't give a shit about no second hand games tbh, as long as they are still around £40 new and ridiculously discounted after 2/3 months.

They always make losses on the consoles. The real money maker is from game devolopers who have to pay so they can use the consoles for their games.
One big thing that needs to be include is to be able to play your music like you can with 360 rather than leaving it down to the game developers if you can or can't.

Yeah we all know they make losses (Nintendo never did until this gen) but people were expecting a £400 PS4 to still be making a loss for Sony.

The first one looks best imo, best to keep it simple.

Yeah I agree. The console looks quite similar to the PS2, which can only be a good thing. :happy:

Some of the other models further down are just stupid.

Mod needs to rename this to the PS4 thread!

The PlayStation 4 is powered by an x86 processor with eight CPU cores, an enhanced GPU and 8GB of memory. It will also ship with Sony’s new “DualShock 4″ controllers, which are similar to the current-generation controllers with the addition of a touchpad, a stereo camera for 3D position tracking, a share button that allows users to stream live gaming to their friends’ consoles, and other new features.

This isn't confirmed but I found it an interesting read when I was trying to benchmark the specs of the PS4 in more familiar PC terms.

It's difficult to post comparable PC specs for the same reason that you can't compare iphones and android phones based on specs alone - it's a matter of specific hardware versus generalized hardware. When you know exactly what you're working with, you can get things running much more efficiently. That said...

Jaguar is a low-power architecture (think Intel's Atom). We don't know the PS4's clockspeed for sure, but if we assume it'll be somewhere in the 1.6-2.0ghz range, the CPU might be able to butt heads with a lower-end Core 2 Quad (2.4ghz or lower, probably).

On the GPU front, you're probably looking at something that, if it existed for the PC market, would slot in around a Radeon 7850 or 7870 (or on the Nvidia side, a GeForce 660 or 660ti).

Just as many games ran at 720p in this generation of consoles with some managing 1080p, I think we may still end up seeing a number of 720p games. Resolution increases take a good bit of GPU horsepower, so developers may or may not be able to have their cake and eat it, too - they may have to sacrifice some fancy shaders to get full 1080p going, or they may have to stay at 720p to get all the effects looking as nice as they want. We don't know yet, though - we might be lucky and get 1080p everything.

Again, a computer capable of equivalent graphics would require a bit beefier hardware, just because of the whole "we have to make this work on a million configurations instead of just one" thing. If you put yourself together a fairly good computer to use as a computer (console vs pc arguments tend to assume a gaming pc will only ever be used for games when pointing out the price difference), then drop in a $300 video card (this is what I consider the true cost of a gaming PC, since I need a good computer for my hobbies anyway), you'll have no problem being able to proclaim yourself a member of the PC gaming master race.
 
well that was slightly underwhelming.

Watchdog confirmed to be running on a pc, never liked killzone or infamous but they looked awesome. The tech demo from capcom looks great and will probably be Dragons Dogma 2 but it was just a tech demo, we know how the ps3 killzone 2 tech demo turned out.......

all in all, roll on E3

Just reading an article the other day about speculation of the cost of the ps4 and it says there has been some confusion on the pricing what's being quoted so low because they are converting Japan prices to sterling. Apparently the ps3 launched at 240pound in Japan. I reckon over 4 for sure now after reading that.

It was real time.

The conference was pretty good but they didn't announce the actual PS4. I guess they are saving that for E3.
