wow 8gb ram, 8 core processor, gddr5 graphics and internal storage.
my computer has 32GB(4x8GB) G.Skill Trident X ram, AMD FX 8350 8 core processor and Samsung 512GB SSD.
I hope the PS4 can beat this, though it is unlikely.

please keep me informed on your use of it ( OUYA ) when you get it ! ( your likes and dislikes with it i mean and how it generally works for you !)
I'll try... but ironically the OUYA will will only get any good if it gets popular!
The idea is to have a set piece of hardware that gets programmed specifically for and a large supportive community so its maximum potential is realised. (As opposed to the generalised cross-platforming nature of ordinary android games). You already realise all this I'll bet.
As to Steam and Linux... they already have their Piston Engine or Steam Box or God Nose based on the Xi3 in the works for that. So no to that probably... Onlive seems the go here.
Cheers.

i'm most interested if you can also be a htpc/dvr media center and are you planning on trying to develop any games for it ! and your everyday interactions with it ( how you find the performance of it !
thanks for taking your time in replying
Good Luck and Take Care

no worries :)
Well, it will be running XBMC and Plex. Unfortunately it doesn't have an optical or spdif out (I bought a seperate HDMI audio splitter for that to use with surround headphones). DVR would need a usb tv card I suppose... I don't intend to develop on it.

The last one was the reason I joined AD. Met some good people had some fun times. I was a firm Sony fanboy fighting the cause of the PS3 and ended up buying an Xbox (well really 2 like almost everyone else the 1st one RROD'd :p).
Point is that is what taught me that brand loyalty is irrelevant stick with what works for you at the time when you need it.
For example I have both iOS and android devices and I love them all because they serve the purpose that I bought them for.
As we enter this season of hotheadedness and fanboyism I implore you all to keep a level head cut out the fights and insults and just have civil discussion about this new console cycle. Lets keep AD nice and not give the MODs too much of a hard time for the next few month. After all its hardware we've never tough yet we really can only speculate about what either can really do.
I agree, I have never been brand loyal (or a fanboy), I simply buy what I feel is the best available product, my console history goes ps1, xbox, ps3 (with a wii in there somewhere), and phone history is avid iphone fan (3gs then 4) and now galaxy s3.
That being said I am really looking forward to more info on ps4, but will still consider microsofts offering, I just hope they dont release a budget console which requires lot's of accessories which should be their 'as standard' like they did with the 360.

Money doesnt mean jack for those that can easily afford it. I bought both the previous consoles, so what. People over play prices and crap. That is the reason why i own 2 companies so that i can buy whatever i want whenever i want.
don't suppose your looking to adopt by any chance :p
No i simply get tired of hearing and reading about people moaning about prices and functions and power, a bunch of yada yada about nothing.
If the system is out of someone's price range then they should not try to own it now. I promise that if the tag was 299, the internet would be on its ear with people clamoring to get one.
Another thing is that i dislike people's opinions based nearly on sony hate. So they are not making the next big thing, ok, simply do not purchase one and keep it moving. That is the way that i see it. I will buy one and if it isnt what i expect then ill take it back to costco or i will toss it on the shelf with the other systems that i have racked up over the past 27 years.
But, i sure as hell am not going to allow a sub 1000.00 price tag stop me from getting one.
Did your daddy give you the two companies to run? From the way you talk about money you sound more like a kid with a silver spoon in his mouth than a disciplined business man.
No, i built both of my businesses over a period of 16 years. I started creating businesses in 1995. Some failed and i pushed on. I have never been dirt poor but i have been to where i had to rely on sandwiches and milk for survival, barely with 3 change of clothing for the week.
To go from that to where i do not have to think about spending xyz on a trip (up to a certain amount) or a ps4 is gratifying.
If i cant be proud of that then where and when?
Oh but i should be humble? I could lose everything today and it wouldnt change my demeanor because ive been down a few times and survived.

You know superman even Bill Gates, as hard as he works, claims he's lucky. Perhaps your incessant insecure big-noting is wasted here at AD.

Nintendo has already been doing this for some time now just like other things the other 2 majors are finally starting to pick up on.
What I get a kick out of is x86 32bit CPU instead of a x64? Seems to be sticking your feet in the cement instead of moving forward for today world to save a few dollars. However the video card is truly the more important hardware in your console so it is probably a nit really.

your 32 GB are ddr3 and the 8 GB in the ps4 are ddr5 and you 8 cores are not jaguar ( and since it is a custom version i believe that they will open up extra bandwidth between the two or three components of the ps4) so we will see how it plays out in the next few months and i hope they keep the cost down to 400 bucks but i assume that it will be closer to 500 at release time !
Good Luck and Take Care

Sorry $ony. If you want my hard earned money, at least release your larger titles on PC! Gran Turismo for instance. I'm certainly not purchasing a PS3/PS4 for ONE game. I'm a PC nut. I've owned very few modern consoles. The Wii was a necessary buy. Won't go into that though :p I would easily spend $100 on a PC version of Gran Turismo. BELIEVE IT!!!
Or don't. I'll emulate it in a few decades when an emulator comes out :(
To delete, or not to delete. THAT is the question! |

the ps4 will probably cost half or a 3rd of what your pc did.so to get an accurate accessment you would have to connect 2 or 3 ps4s together.
custom built gaming pc from early 2010,ps2 with 15 games all original,ps3 500gbs with 5 games all original,yamaha amp and 5.1channel surround sound speakers,46inch sony lcd smart tv.

Well duh! But in your usual self-serving way you spectacularly miss the point. Do you want a medal O great one? Why do I even ask... of course you do!
It's crazy, you give every indication money is seen by you as the ultimate qualifier of a person's worth but it's not enough is it? Not in reality. In reality you need friends but have yet to learn that real friends aren't sycophants.
