Let me start by saying the PS4 is amazing technology. There is a reason why it's cleaning up in sales the likes of which we've not seen since the PS2 days and it can be difficult to find them in stock still.
For a start it is quite a bit more powerful and also quite a bit cheaper than it's nearest rival the Xbox One. Historically Sony home consoles always deliver on game content. You might not like them all but you're bound to find something!
As for the PS4 itself there's now things like voice chat, auto updates while in standby, and what I consider to be the best most next gen feature is an absolute god send is the ability to exit out of a game and into an application and back again and pick up in game right where you left off instantly. So if you get tired of a game you can back out and head to Netflix watch something and then exit that and head back into your game where you left it without having to sit through any loading screens. Amazing!
You can also check out other gamers playing their games on Twitch live stream on your PS4.
As it's a console in it's infancy though there's a lot that is yet to come but isn't there yet - like PlayStation Now game streaming for example. Also the PSN store is thread bare at the moment with (most disappointingly at the moment) basically no demo games to check out.
With such a lack of PS4 games right now you would think what is available would have a demo and this is something Sony did say initially is that all games would feature a demo but evidently right now this is not the case.
I'm glad to finally have a PS4 and I know for a fact that this is the calm before the storm and that the games will come thick and fast once we're out of the 'launch window' period. Read more ›

4.0 out of 5 stars
Be wary of fake reviews, listen to "Amazon Verified Purchases" and "Top 500 Reviewers"
To start I'd like to say how sad it is for me to see people bombing the product page of these consoles with fake 1/5 stars AND fake 5/5 stars. The human mind is a curious thing and for some people the success of the console they chose is, for some inexplicable reason, linked to their perception of their own self worth. They are so focused on this that they throw their allegiance in with huge multinational companies whose main goals are to, at the end of the day, make money - instead of throwing their allegiance in with other consumers/gamers.
To those people - shame on you.
As for the PS4, I will be brief and concise as the review by MrE is already a great read (go check it out).
1) The PS4 is small and light - surprisingly so for a "next-gen" console, especially next to the, comparatively, gargantuan Xbox One (yes I have one of those too). Both run relatively quite and cool, which is reassuring after the Xbox360s overheating issues last gen.
2) The PS4's shape looks nice but can make changing wires at the back difficult if it is already in place and you are viewing it from a top-down view. The two tone is pleasing enough and the blue light is... a blue light, also pleasing enough.
3) The PS4 includes the following ports: Ethernet, HDMI out, PlayStation camera port (proprietary), 2x USB 3.0 ports and a optical audio out. For those concerned this optical audio out port does output in surround sound (unlike the XB1, although Microsoft has said they will patch this in).
4) 3rd party headsets are supported, via USB, optical out or even through the 3.5mm jack in the controller itself (which is very cool). Read more ›

I picked my PS4 up at my local GAME store launch party a good few hours ago, the unboxing took all of two minutes when i got home (smiley face). First thing to say is it looks and feels quality and has a good weighty feel to it for something so small. A lot smaller than i thought it would be but by and large on a par with the PS3 slim. The two tone look really suits it with the blue light in between as an indicator as to the status of the console. Port wise at the back you have Power, Gigabit Ethernet, optical audio, HDMI out and an AUX proprietary port for the PlayStation Camera. At the front is the slot loading bluray drive on/off and eject buttons (which are touch sensitive) and 2x USB 3.0 ports which are ideal for charging your controller from and if you so wish a 3rd party headset. At this point i will note that Sony have made the PS4 so that you can upgrade the hard drive without voiding warranty... the specs if you want to know are that it be greater than 160GB and no thicker than 9.5mm. Although it doesn't mention the spin speed the one that comes in the console runs at 5400RPM to reduce heat so i would advise you stick to that for good measure.
Finally onto what you get, the controller is a vast improvement, it now actually feels like a proper controller and the textured back of it feels very nice to hold. The trigger buttons now feel like proper triggers and have been positioned in such a way so your fingers rest on them perfectly. L1 and R1 buttons have been redesigned too and feel better. The thumb-sticks are perhaps the biggest improvement along with the trigger buttons and i can confirm that your fingers won't be slipping off due to the shape. Read more ›

Pretty cool system
The console certainly feels next-gen. Although it's essentially a netflix player at the moment due to the fact that there's virtually no decent games out for it at the moment. Read more
