Next-Gen: PS4 and XB1 Coming to a Store Near You!

...

 

News about piston the unofficial steam box (I guess we can call it Next gen also, even though isn't a classic console)

I really hope that the "real" steam box will be waaay cheapier than this, if is not 200-300$ I guess they can't even start to compete with the classic consoles..
I don't know who would pre-order the PISTON as we currently don't even now it's hardwere.

That price point makes no sence what so ever. I can build a PC with a mini-ITX motherboard for 1000$ and it won't be restricted to gaming. 1000$ for a gaming machine really doesn't seem like anything I would ever buy.

Cool that you are all excited about the Xbox, down here we are already calling a "dead console" even before it's out, as the internet infrastructre of Brazil will not be able to keep it working, even the Ps4 seems to be problematic as the servers are all at US, so sharing things will problematic with huge PINGs.. but they at least don't deamnd internet conection, and we did had some statament of the aspects of Ps4 in here (also a promise it will be launched same day as U.S.)

Hmm, by always connected does it mean internet wise?

Still looks similar to the capabilities of the PS4 in some areas. Well at least wait and see the end result.

 

i like disks
they're comfy and easy to use

 

That's what I understand of it, maybe for controlling the games you will play and prevent piracy and second hand games.. As Microsoft sold a huge amount of Xbox 360 , but didn't manage to overrun piracy as Ps3 did (they did that program that made your ps3 play games in flash drives a few years back, but you couldn't update or play new games).
While I see why they did it, it is still a hindrance for the buyers. The console will probably be full of cables and peripherics that will occupy a huge amount of space, and that you probably can't take everywhere.. not to mention that you can't play single player offline.

My only complaint is :
"PS4 controller buttons are going back to digital over analog because no one used it on PS3"
I liked using analogs :(

I get the feeling that this is not the last we'll hear of this guy this month. But not that I blame him, after all, those people who are worried about not being able to play when their Internet is out or when servers are down for maintenance or don't have reliable access to the Internet are just behind the times. No, it can't possibly be that they're in rural areas with limited connection, can't afford it or have other reasons why they can't connect. And on top of it all, no one wants to play a game ten years down the road when the servers are down for good, not at all.

Yeah, **** this guy.
