It's once again that time of year where I throw caution to the wind, kick off my shoes and get prepared for time off work over the festive season by buying a bunch of games. This year's sales have bee

It is kinda strange that while you're online, trophies can't just sync instantly. It's just a few bytes of data. But then, there's always been something clunky about their online architecture. I imagi

Why do people keep breaking the price down as if that proves a point? It's only 13.6 pence a day guys! That's a really small amount! The fact is, it used to be free, it's not particularly fa

Any price which starts with 3 for the PS4 or the next Xbox is going to really effect Nintendo.

 

Its going to be very interesting to see how Nintendo react if both the PS4 & xbox 3 launch around the £300-£350 mark.

 

Its already a hard sell at the current price against the PS3/360, they'll have to re-evaluate the bundles on offer and throw in an extra game or something, Nintendoland as a pre-installed game perhaps plus another.

 

I think Sony are going to surprise a lot of people on Wednesday.

I think a price cut when the next Xbox and Playstation arrives was always on the cards for Nintendo. Whether they can wait that long is another matter.

I can see it being £350 max. £300 would be a very sweet price point though.

If anyone is wondering, this works quite well to You're The First, The Last, My Everything.

BT are pushing to get fibre optic cable to the vast majority of homes within the next couple of years so it should become more feasible soon.

 

By "pushing" you mean they're showing faint interest.

What time is this event on Wednesday meant to be on at and is it being streamed live anywhere?

 

It starts at 11pm on Wednesday night. I think most of the major sites will be streaming it live. GT are for certain and have a pre-presser show as well.

Report: PS4 Heavily Integrated With Gaikai, YouTube, Social Networks

 

 

But there’s more interesting news. Wall Street Journal’s sources indicate that PS4 will interact heavily with social services, and will allow direct video upload to YouTube, straight from the console. You may even be able to "compete" with players on other hardware, though what that specifically means remains to be seen.

 

The new PlayStation also will allow players to share achievements on social networks through smoother links to Facebook or Twitter, while also enabling aspects such as sharing footage of game play online through YouTube, people familiar with Sony’s plans said. Sony’s new console may also allow users to compete against others using different hardware, such as smartphones and other portable devices, those people said.

That controller is awful. I think the dualshock is the worst of all the consoles and has been for years and was hoping they'd completely change it, and that touch pad will be as useful as the rear touch pad on the vita I imagine.

 

But like everyone, does it really matter? Bring some amazing, exclusive games I'll get one day one. (Unless the 720 can trump it (not getting both) which I HIGHLY HIGHLY doubt)

I was firmly in the Xbox camp up until a week ago - but i seem to be slip-sliding Sony's way with all this hype.

 

Probably won't get either at launch - instead i'll wait and see how they both go, but at the moment, Sony seems to be winning the hypetition.

I have a 360 but I've barely touched the thing over the years, heck, last time I touched it was for Sonic Generations. I just can no longer justify myself for sticking with the Microsoft consoles.

 

I think next generation may see me fully switch to the PC as my platform of choice. I'm calling it too early admittedly, but unless something spectacular comes along that will only be available on a console that doesn't force me to use "innovations" I'm not keen on, I can't see myself changing my mind.

 

Nintendo home consoles and me don't seem to get along after the Wii. I bought one at launch, very quickly sold it due to the lack of interesting titles and bought it again 2 years ago or so at £40 to catch up on the games I wanted to play.

We all know I'm pretty firmly in Nintendo's camp but the Wii U is probably their first console where I remain unconvinced of its future and am having to start peaking my head around the corner to see what everyone else is doing these days :hmm:

 

My hope is that the Wii U turns things around and becomes a great console over the next few years but, if not, I'd probably have to say I'd be more inclined to go towards the PlayStation than XBOX due to being able to play online for free and first party software that is slightly more appealing. The controller, however, needs a huge overhaul. The DualShock has been getting progressively worse since the decent first iteration on PS1. They may all have similar aspects, but they feel so different :nono:

Two thirds of the UK by 2015 is the estimate, with the remaining third probably being mostly countryside folk/poorsville.

Everyone who already has fast internet will be getting BT infinity by 2015.

It's not really 'fast', just standard speeds at the moment (ie. up to 8Mb). But yeah, obviously no one in the Shetland islands should be banking on fibre any time soon.

 

Also found out that news article was a bit old. Apparently they must be pushing, as they anticipate to finish the two-thirds target 18 months early, ie. by Spring next year.

 

Good news.
