Re: PS4 Announced!
Sadly I will be missing out on Rage. I should have gone those years ago when I had the chance. Dammit!
Anyway I should perhaps correct the release date for SA. We are getting it 6 December.

Re: PS4 Announced!
And now the PS4 is off the buy list .

I have my whole setup as a DLNA based client . Looks like the Xbox One will be my upgrade on the PS3 since it wont be as noisy as the PS3.We're just over two weeks out from the release of Sony's PlayStation 4, and today the company is setting out to answer any lingering questions you may have. Sony has published an exhaustive FAQ at the PlayStation Blog covering a wide range of topics including the console itself, supported accessories, and new details on the PlayStation Network and digital games availability.
Out of the box, the PS4 will include a 500GB 5,400RPM hard drive that's user replaceable — so long as the new drive is larger than 160GB. Sony says the console's cooling system has been tuned for living room usage and "is generally much quieter than the PS3," so hopefully you'll rarely hear a whirring fan during those lengthy gaming sessions or when watching a movie. Speaking of movies, Sony has confirmed that a software update and one-time internet activation will be required before you can watch any Blu-rays or DVDs. That update, PS4 firmware 1.50, will be available at launch — and you'll be allowed to play a game while it downloads in the background. And while PlayStation Plus is required for online multiplayer, you'll be free to use apps (movies, music) without subscribing to Sony's service.
There's very bad news in store for home theater enthusiasts, though. Sony says you'll be unable to use the PS4 as a client for your media server. The next-gen console is shipping without DLNA support, a significant step backwards for a device that's likely to be a living room centerpiece for many. Even more unfortunate, the PS4 can't play MP3 files, suggesting that Sony wants users to turn to its own store and third-party apps for all media needs.

Re: PS4 Announced!
That sucks, but I can't say I'll miss it. My TV can handle streaming just fine and does it using less power and making less noise than a console.

Re: PS4 Announced!
we stream from the externals through the PC and router to the PS3 and will be keeping that setup until they bring out something similar to that... and i can't say that we have any noise coming from the console...

Re: PS4 Announced!
They didn't have DLNA support from day one on the PS3 either , it was added in later. This time could be different because Sony is pushing their online store, but I doubt it. More of a staggered release to get people to try their services out. If it turns out to be successful then we have problems.
Very dirty of Sony to do this after they made themselves out to be the industry heroes.

Re: PS4 Announced!
Well it seems the PS4 will be getting MP3 and DLNA support during the 2nd firmware update in December. Still scary to think that the basics aren't out of the box.
I suppose it really is just a game console out of the box, which is what we want isn't it?

Re: PS4 Announced!
Your asking me to go search for something that I don't remember the source from
Um... Sony is charging $50 for PSN+ for a year, or R500. That includes the multiplayer portion and has been announced at E3 ...or is this on top of that?

No idea but first I know of it. I still can't believe they want to charge for multi-player and at that price. The games are already friggin expensive and on top of that they want more? Greedy buggers...

Re: PS4 Announced!
That's what happens when you take away multiplayer from comunity and offer it as a company service. It doesn't effect me though. I was going to sub to PSN+ anyway because of the game selections they give you.

Re: PS4 Announced!
I am pretty sure this is standard for ALL software. It is basic copyright.6.3. You must not lease, rent, sublicense, publish, modify, adapt, or translate any portion of the Software.
So is this.7.1. You must not resell either Disc-based Software or Software Downloads, unless expressly authorised by us and, if the publisher is another company, additionally by the publisher.
See the part I highlighted? Yeah, it means you are not allowed to sell your copy.Dawn of War 2 EULA wrote:Subject to the terms of this Agreement, THQ grants You a non-exclusive, non-transferable license to use one copy of the Software and/or to use the Software for play online in the country in which You acquired the Software for Your own personal, non-commercial use, but retains all property rights in the Software and all copies thereof.
So rusty, care to change your statement to include ALL software users?

by extension, this would prevent the re-sale or trade-in of the console, would it not? pretty big departure from all the white-knighting they were engaging in not too long ago..

I guess so. But then when has that stopped anyone from selling or trading their hardware or software?rustypup wrote: by extension, this would prevent the re-sale or trade-in of the console, would it not?
Not really. Again, all that was revealed here is that Sony is applying the same rules that software publishers have been applying since the dawn of time. So your care-meter is spot on. None of this is worthy of anything more than a "meh".rustypup wrote:pretty big departure from all the white-knighting they were engaging in not too long ago..

Re: PS4 Announced!
So the launch was not without flaw. A few PS4s died and has other issues, now there is investigation that those students that had to work on the stuff sabotaged the production etc.
The launch looks relatively positive though. Only 25 days to go before I get mine.
