Happenstance Posted September 7, 2016 Share Posted September 7, 2016 Such a shame this kind of stuff is really hard to demo. I'd love to see what those bits in COD look on a 4k tv. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Goron_3 Posted September 7, 2016 Share Posted September 7, 2016 Random question, but we do we know what percentage of TV's sold at the moment are 4K/HDR compatible? They seem to have become really affordable over the last 12-24 months. Horizon looks simply amazing. God damn. Edit: HDR firmware update!!!

Ronnie Posted September 7, 2016 Share Posted September 7, 2016 Wooooo Netflix app!! Just what we want to hear about. On the plus side, Mass Effect looks amazing. The applause is incredibly awkward though, one or two people clapping. Yeesh. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ashley Posted September 7, 2016 Share Posted September 7, 2016 Wooooo Netflix app!! Just what we want to hear about. On the plus side, Mass Effect looks amazing. It's a huge provider of 4k content at the moment so one minute to confirm it'll be joining is hardly an issue. Why are you so desperate to hate everything?

Happenstance Posted September 7, 2016 Share Posted September 7, 2016 £349 is a good price Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
killthenet Posted September 7, 2016 Share Posted September 7, 2016 That thing looks ugly as sin. November 10th though so I'll definitely be getting one, only 2 weeks after 'The Last Guardian' launches and £50 cheaper than I expected. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Price announcement is surprising. I'm left disappointed by the Slim price though...a bit too high going into Christmas? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CoolFunkMan Posted September 7, 2016 Share Posted September 7, 2016 £349 is a good price Definitely! It's perfect for anyone who hasn't got a PS4 yet! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Blade Posted September 7, 2016 Share Posted September 7, 2016 So no reason to upgrade then really. Isn't this what we all wanted? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
liger05 Posted September 7, 2016 Share Posted September 7, 2016 Price looks real good but man it's kinda ugly. Looks big and very heavy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
punio75 Posted September 7, 2016 Share Posted September 7, 2016 I agree on the price- it's good, makes the slim overpriced in my opinion Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Happenstance Posted September 7, 2016 Share Posted September 7, 2016 I know someone posted the slim was £299 on the previous page but I'm pretty sure the graphic at the end said either £249 or £259 for the slim. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ronnie Posted September 7, 2016 Share Posted September 7, 2016 I can't quite get over how awful that presentation was. Very disappointing. Nice to see Mass Effect gameplay though, finally. Though it was basically just a few rocket jumps and interacting with a few buttons. Looked beautiful though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
drahkon Posted September 7, 2016 Share Posted September 7, 2016 I agree on the price- it's good, makes the slim overpriced in my opinion Yeah, the Slim's price is a bit odd. But with everything coming out before Christmas I'm pretty sure Sony will sell lots of consoles. I know someone posted the slim was £299 on the previous page but I'm pretty sure the graphic at the end said either £249 or £259 for the slim. That was me, but I got corrected in the chat. I was just focusing on the € price because that's the currency I use :p Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mr-Paul Posted September 7, 2016 Share Posted September 7, 2016 Given that PS4's are a hugely popular for Netflix streaming, it's a great decision to confirm the announcement. Price announcement is surprising. I'm left disappointed by the Slim price though...a bit too high going into Christmas? Slim is replacing the current model, which I'm sure is still £299 RRP? There'll be loads of bundles and offers, no doubt. They just wouldn't have them in this meeting. And with the PS4 still selling bucketloads, they weren't gonna drop the price much, anyway.

Goron_3 Posted September 7, 2016 Share Posted September 7, 2016 (edited) So no reason to upgrade then really. Isn't this what we all wanted? Yeah it's great news actually. I don't have a 4K TV (yet anyway) but the fact that the option is there is good news. Btw, I'm so glad that they only invited press to this event. The worst thing about E3 is when companies (I.e. Microsoft) invite all their employees who spend ages cheering and celebrating every minor thing. They should be there to work and report, not have a piss up. Sometimes E3 crowds act as if they are on a plane to Magaluf. Edit. @Mr\-Paul, is that the RRP? If so then the slim is actually cheaper at retail than the PS4 OG which is good.

Hero-of-Time Posted September 7, 2016 Author Share Posted September 7, 2016 I agree on the price- it's good, makes the slim overpriced in my opinion Agreed on both accounts. A very clear presentation but nothing really that interests me, personally. Very interested to see how well this does once it's out and about in the open.

Fierce_LiNk Posted September 7, 2016 Share Posted September 7, 2016 It's really difficult to judge the improvements with the new model when streaming this conference/meeting. I'm not tempted in the slightest and am very content with what we've currently got. The way I see it, everyone wins. You're either happy with what you've got, you've got two different models to choose from if you haven't got one yet and finally you can sell your old PS4 and upgrade to either model if you wanted to.

S.C.G Posted September 7, 2016 Share Posted September 7, 2016 Just more reasons to be happy that I bought a PS4 when it originally launched. But plenty of options for anyone who doesn't own a PS4 yet but it planning on investing in one with or without VR. : peace: I'd say that the presentation has been a success as everyone has a reason to be happy and no one is being left behind, we couldn't have asked for much more than that.

killthenet Posted September 7, 2016 Share Posted September 7, 2016 I'm definitely surprised that it's £350, I think a lot more people will buy it than pundits had expected. I'd be surprised if Scorpio comes close in terms of price and Sony can always drop the price to £300 - £325 next November and undercut them.

Blade Posted September 7, 2016 Share Posted September 7, 2016 @Ronnie but what did you want? We have been telling you for months that you have nothing to worry about and that it was only going to be a 4k PS4 and for months you have been responding telling us all how a disgrace Sony is and that you will be forced to upgrade for hundreds of pounds mid way through a generation. Looks like we were right. Its nothing. Yes, the presentation was shit. I am not interested in the product. I won't upgrade. This is what I wanted. Reading through your posts over the past few months I thought this was what you wanted too? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
liger05 Posted September 7, 2016 Share Posted September 7, 2016 I'm not sure a mini conference was even needed for this. I like the price but still think it's a tough sell. Not sure there is enough to convince people to buy one especially if you don't win a 4K tv. The slims will sell plenty!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Correct me if I'm wrong but isn't this close to what the PS4 launched at back in 2013? The one thing that they didn't mention was UHD blu-rays. I believe the XBS supports them but they didn't confirm if this console does the same. I imagine that's a big deal to most people given how much UHD players cost.
