Well, I'm completely underwhelmed by the games showcased so far so am hoping that something pops up and piques my interest otherwise I'll be waiting around for a while before getting another console for the first time in my life.

I guess he'll be getting the PS4...

So the PS4 is cheaper, has no used game fees, has no need for an internet connection every 24H, can play online for free or pay for extra access & the move eye (if that's its name) can be switched off, Is it me or did Sony just do exactly the right thing for gamers?
If you buy an XBone over a PS4 now you truly are in need of a head examination, I think Sony just won the console war (hate that term BTW) before the first bell!

No you have to pay now.
Soldato
Correct.
Was bound to happen at some point.
Any idea what the cost will be and whether it'll be for online gaming only?
i say boycot this for a month or so.

There's talk of it being an extension of their PSN+ model, so not just paying for online play, but their free games giveaway too. Which makes it much more worth it. I hated the idea of just paying to game online on Live, although you kind of had no choice, if you actually wanted to enjoy multiplayer.

I ask because, at the moment (correct me if im wrong) but xbox owners require live membership to access services they may have already paid for (Netflix, Lovefilm....)

I must have missed that! what is the fee?
Beside the fee (unless it's crazy money) I think Sony have secured me as a customer by not going down the same route as the XBone.

I just don't know. I have to get a One at some point, too many exclusives I want. I may get the PS4 first and the One later (maybe after a price drop?)
Neither of them have good launch line ups IMO, but I know the day they come out I'll have to get them! Damn you nerd capitalism!
Where's the bundle's at? Why the hell are the controllers up at £90 so far!? If I can get an X1, Ryse, Fifa & Dead Rising 3 for £500 I'm in. How do I know it's a 'Day One' bundle?

It's the same as PS+
I had both consoles pre-ordered, but (at launch at least) I think the only one I'll be getting is the PS4.
Sure Xbox has some interesting and different features, but the fact that Forza is the only exclusive I'm bothered about, plus the price difference, means the PS4 is more appealing.
As a 360 owner since launch and never really bothering with the PS3, I have to say now everything is out in the open it does seem like a bit of an own goal for MS.

Exactly this, I can't see any reason to chose Xbone over PS4 now other than blind loyalty the games they have look great but to sacrifice so many consumer rights for a few good games, I just can't do it.
Things just got realy interesting as reguards DRM, i was one of the ones who thought sony would go with DRM to, the big question is do microsoft abandon 24hr check online and DRM to make gamers happy?
I think the publishers should now be getting asked which they are prefering DRM or no DRM
As they could now prefer one console over the other, still its gonna be a very interesting few months.

Now that Sony have came out with their policies, there is no real reason that MS shouldnt change theirs. Clearly no issues with developers\publishers and DRM, otherwise both consoles would be the same.
C'mon MS, eat humble pie, change your ways and there will still be a chance for you

It's definitely going to be interesting because I'm sure EA will want DRM but will they want to be seen as pushing something so unpopular after making a big song and dance about ditching season passes.

PS4 for me. I just want a PS4 version of GTA5 for release day now!
I'm surprised that the PS is cheaper

I think it would be harder to change if they had talked about it in the conference (maybe that's partly why they didn't?) Who knows. I know it won't bother me either way really.
