Unless your in Ireland and winter starts much sooner

Our seasons are organised around our particular four quarter days (each one beginning at sunset on the eve of the quarter day and ending with that day's sunset):

31st October to 1st November ... Samhain (start of the New Year and Winter)
31st January to 1st February .... Imbolc (start of Spring)
30th April to 1st May .... Bealtinne (start of Summer)
31st July to 1st August ... Lughnasa (Start of Autumn)

? That time of the year where it's cooler - sometimes even with snow?? I wish I can see that someday...

I live in Brazil, and the only seasons we have here are Summer (hot) and winFern (hotter )...

What is this "snow" you speak of?

Sounds like where I'm from, we know only one season: GAT DAMN HOTTT! I only got to know this thing called snow when I moved to New York but back home Ice cubes instantly turns to water as soon as its out the freezer.

Along with the PS4 I'm hoping for some Vita love.

I'd like to get one - maybe a drop to $199...

TedM · Feb 20, 2013, 04:02 PM

looking forward to this. Lots to live up to.

SumoHamster · Feb 20, 2013, 04:38 PM

I'm at the streaming site now watching the number of viewers climb. It is in the upper 130k mark now, and it looks like there may be a limit of 1.3 million viewers. Wonder what happens when it hits that.

*edit: It must be a scaling upper cap now that I watch it. As the viewers jump up faster, the upper limit increased as well.

cambookpro · Feb 20, 2013, 05:16 PM

Confirmation: it's called PlayStation 4.

What it actually is, however, is still a mystery...

rezenclowd3 · Feb 20, 2013, 05:19 PM

Ugh, Kinect/Move built in. Kill it with fire!

jav6454 · Feb 20, 2013, 05:24 PM

What a joke. It's basically a gamming PC. For that I'd rather just DIY a medium range PC and have even better graphics.

rezenclowd3 · Feb 20, 2013, 05:33 PM

Nvidia Titan anyone. Ya..at 10.5" Agreed, I wont toy around with kinect/move. I think I am done with consoles...maybe. Just need 1 killer game that speaks to my soul for me to buy it.

I do like the streaming and control. Facebook functionality will be turned off for me.

MacRumorUser · Feb 20, 2013, 05:36 PM

I think it looks amazing so far. 8gb ram, secondary processor for background downloads and updates, gaikai try games on store instantly, seriously impressive stuff.

Yay remote play properly supported too! God this is good

spoke too soon "our goal is to support all PS4 titles with remote play", which clearly means at moment they don't..

SumoHamster · Feb 20, 2013, 05:39 PM

As silly as it may sound, the deciding factor for me may just be whether this or the new xbox is quieter.

gkarris · Feb 20, 2013, 05:40 PM

Any more updates?

I can't access any site that is Sony or has anything having to do with video gaming...

rezenclowd3 · Feb 20, 2013, 05:42 PM

"What would you do if you didn't have technical limitations" on the live blog I am viewing. Ha! There always will be...sorry bud! Damn hype.

MacRumorUser · Feb 20, 2013, 05:45 PM

No mention of physical media yet!!!! Should we be worried?

Nermal · Feb 20, 2013, 05:49 PM

Backward compatibility is a worry. If I'm understanding it correctly then it doesn't run PS3 games, rather these would essentially be a streaming video. If that's at, say, 1 Mb/s then that's 450 MB per hour. With a lot of people in this part of the world still paying around $2 per GB, a decent PS3 RPG would cost $50 in data costs, on top of whatever it costs to license the game in the first place.

This may take off in the US but I question how well it'll work here.

rezenclowd3 · Feb 20, 2013, 05:49 PM

^No. Steam is successful. I doubt there will be physical media. Optical really is too outdated/slow, shipping USB3.0 flashdrives...highly unlikely, I'd hate to keep breaking them as I do anyway.

Maybe return of the proprietary media! Oh Sony you would!

My bet is all download. Yay for Datacaps!
;-)

MacRumorUser · Feb 20, 2013, 05:53 PM

Ps3 backwards compatability not supported because no physical media ????

Seriously its the elephant in the room here. No mention and we've shown the store, the instant try and the play as your downloading content....

It's certainly looking bad for discs

I pray not but elephant in the room!!!

-SD- · Feb 20, 2013, 05:54 PM

I don't think they'll show the console today, but we have confirmation that prototype pad was real. And the PS Eye has been redesigned it would seem...

SumoHamster · Feb 20, 2013, 05:58 PM

That Killzone game looked pretty darn sweet!

rbrian · Feb 20, 2013, 05:58 PM

I'm watching the steam right now. Well, I'm watching some of the stream with no sound, and the buffering circle the rest of the time. I know it has nothing to do with the PSN cloud services, but still I can't help but be sceptical.
