Maybe the iPad version will come later and they wanted to get the iPhone version out in time for launch.

Interesting to see what if anything M$ does to counter. Everything I've seen and read indicates that Sony has won this generation, but only time will tell.

Without starting a war.:rolleyes:

Go check out the xbox youtube channel for some demos and previews on how the system works. It's really impressive. That will give you a better perspective on what each console does for your comparison.
 
Totally agree here. Seems that security isn't that important for MacRumors.

Why is this not a #1 post here on MacRumors itself? :confused:

Should've looked more closely since it was posted here since yesterday.

Back on topic;

is this app only for the PS4 or does it work with the 3 too?
 
I have so many games on the PS3 I still want to play, at least 15 (Mass Effect Trilogy, Assassin's Creed III & IV, The Last of Us, Batman games, GTA V). That's just to name a few. I'll be content with the PS3 for several more years. By then, the PS4 will be into version two.

Sounds just like me. Same games too! Currently working through Mass Effect 1, have the other two sitting as well as the AC, one batman . . .
Considering my backlog I don't spring for games unless under 25 bucks. Probably will pick up a PS4 next year though to have a PS4 backlog. Lol.

I can't agree more guys, I'm also a Plus member of PSN and there is so many games for free that I'd have to spend nights and days if Id like to play all of them. I was really considering getting PS4 day one, but there's basically no game I'm really interested in except Killzone Shadow Fall, but hey, I'll play it next year with more great games coming to PS4 before end of the year. :cool:
 
Be careful everyone!!!

I'm getting mine delivered on launch date through Amazon, but if you're going out be careful.

There's always crazies and I'd be careful with so many people lined up late at night.

If you see a suspicious vehicle/group of people call and report it.

(Sorry for sounding like a concerned parent, just trying to give some advice!)

Sony is playing catch up with this feature.

Smart Glass has been live for over a year on the 360, and is a major part of what the xbox one does.

It also is iPad friendly, and has deep integration with various TV apps (like Second screen stuff for Game of Thrones)

Then you have upcoming games like Project Spark that let you use the tablet to assist in building your own game inside their framework... kind of like Little Big Planet, but with motion capture, voiceover recording, much more enhanced logic to build your own AI and scenes...

The PS4 is looking to be a great console and there will be a lot of fun games for it in time. But the Xbox one is launching as a more complete system with a better UI and a lot of the stuff we have been wanting from an Apple TV for ages... and it has better launch titles.
 
Some of us are going to the midnight launches.

My wife actually agreed to go along with me also. She has never went to a midnight release with me of anything.

I don't mind midnight releases because I get out of work shortly before then.

Your wife just wants to spend time with you. Take the $600 your spending on it and take her on a 3 night vacation instead.
 
Final Fantasy XIV

I've read about a PS4 version of Final Fantasy XIV coming next year, but I've also read about a Windows DirectX 11 update next year too.

I wonder which one is going to be best for Final Fantasy XIV? Is anyone currently playing on a PS3 with only a mouse and keyboard? I really don't want to play that kind of game with a gamepad.

I'm not spending 600$ on it. I spent 424$ after taxes (some of that from trade in of games I haven't played in ages). And she occasionally likes to play games too. Also may have bribed her with a casino trip soon.

BTW; we spend plenty of time together.

To hell with the casino trip...spend that money on accessories and games. In fact, get a second console so you can play online together ;)

She is not that big of a gamer yet :D. Took many years to slowly ease her into gaming. And right now she loves playing Diablo 3 on the 2 PS3s we have. Split screen just didn't cut it.

"A more complete system" when most evidence has shown both the gaming and media sides of the console are not working correctly, crashes, freezes, stuttering, etc.
 
I wonder if they will update the PS3 for similar functionality. It would be smart of them to limit the features to give PS3 owners a "preview" of what is available with the PS4.

Playstation Plus has been sick in the last year. I have more games than I can play. Between cheap games on steam, cheap iOS games, cheap PS3 games I am so behind on my "hobby" I might as well give up. Maybe I should start rewarding my kids if they play and get trophies :D because life happened, and I grew up just as gaming was getting crazy awesome.

How do you play together on 2 PS3s? Do you have 2 PSN accounts and if you do how do you install the game on your second PS3- did you buy two copies?

Its awesome playing on the couch with family. Everytime a legendary drops there is a frenzy.

We have 2 different accounts. I bought the digital version. You can install it onto 2 PS3s. One of the ps3s has broken disc drive so it mainly stays in the bedroom as a netflix player. Until D3 time then we drag it and tv into living room.

Haha, I rather not mention HumbleBundle sales, because I feel like I have more games than I can even play during my life. Plus I got a PS Vita as well, so you can probably imagine how many games on PS Vita is for free on PS Plus...its insane. I wish every day has at least 48h...
