Rumored delays:
http://www.digitimes.com/news/a20130506PD202.html
Some sources claim that production delays will cause the PS4 launch to be delayed on the European market and we might not see it until 2014.

I'd just go to the shop tbh
It's like people who pre order games a year in advance. Don't quite get it tbh. They rarely sell out!

Did I imagine the consoles being really difficult to get a hold of then?
Until now they always sell out.

Looks nice I think.
Also, Sony pretty much KO'ed Microsoft yesterday and the better looking controller and few exclusive titles are now somewhat the only reasons to opt for the Xbone.

Isn't that already required on Xbox? Tbh it had to happen there was no way with that kind off price that they could keep going the way they were. I'm pretty much reaching to my wallet to put my pre order down on a PS4, but I'm just waiting to see if xbox re evaluate's there pricing,and see what my mates do. As I play alot online with friends
Oh and a 500GB hard driver with out manatury installs,Xbox better have a beast of an hard driver with mandatory installs !

So, £325 then? And PS+ is £40 a year? Annoying. But as said, was always going to happen unfortunately

I don't play online anyway, owning both the PS3 & 360 if I opt for a new console and have to pay a fee for the rare occasions I go online I will opt for the PS4 as it what I am used to playing. Can't really get on with the 360's mainframe.

^^ That's also why I'll get an Xbox. I'm just used to it. However I doubt I'll get one for a while. Haven't turned my PS or Xbox on in a good few months.

Xbox looks better IMO.
As said before I only play online (although last time I evened it on was the MW3 release) and so ill just get what my mates have, and even then ill wait till they're £100-150.

I was very open to the thought of a change this time, but the whole DRM, fees, indie games and kinect mess has made sure I'm not going any where near the Xbox.
I often buy older games second hand and I like trying out strange little indie games (Unfinished Swan and Limbo are awesome games) and the fact Microsoft have decided to put a stop to that pretty much sealed the deal.
Seeing as a subscription is now mandatory to play online, PS+ also comes out as a much better deal than a Gold membership.
Going to get a PS+ membership today I think and start playing InFamous 2 in preparation for Second Son.

How do you know it's a better deal, have they said how much the sub will be?
Maybe they'll upgrade their infrastructure with the money and keep peoples credit card details safe.

Because PS+ has been around for ages and he's assuming they won't increase the subscription price

Ah right, I didn't know there was already a 'paid for' part of PS4 online.

Is there any definitive techs specs now for both consoles? last I heard the PS4 had better tech and because the architecture is more standard theres no reasons for games to take advantage?
