Can get two on Walmart.com as well. If you order separately on Newegg it will go through unlike Amazon, but who knows if they will cancel them later.
Well, this is good news to wake up to. Just grabbed a pre-order for a PS4 from Amazon.
I gotta say, though - the games lineup looks pretty weak, which is rather disappointing. There's only a handful of games that interest me, and most of those are getting PC releases, anyway.
Also, has Sony explained what 'Driveclub PS Plus Edition' is? Does it have less content than the full game, or what?

Microsoft even fucked up Killer Instinct. It's a "free" digital download, you only get to play Jago, all other characters cost money.

Eh, you can't really judge Killer Instinct's F2P pricing model until Microsoft announces how much characters will cost to buy. If it's $10 for 5 characters, or something like that, then that's fine. If it's $10 for 1 character, then that's fucked.
Edit - Thinking about it a little more, a League of Legends-esque monetisation scheme would work really well with a fighting game. Characters would be available to buy or rent for a week, and a weekly rotating roster of characters would be available to play for free. I think that'd work pretty well. Then, on top of that, throw in trinkets, stages, and other items for small micro transactions.
It could be good, as long as it isn't too expensive.

EA owns the Mass Effect IP and Epic owns the Gears IP - unless Microsoft moneyhats these two games, they should get PS4 releases.
Hasn't gears of war always been exclusive to xbox? I'm sure MS will just throw gobs of money at them to keep it that way.
I have pre-ordered both and am praying for a shortage so I can sell one or the other to justify the purchase of any of these. Just not feeling the console scene any more.
Yeah, its traditionally been Xbox exclusive, but things can change. I can see Epic releasing a new Gears on both consoles to showcase UE4 and attract more developers to the engine. At the very least, I'd be surprised if the next Gears doesn't come out on the PC.
Which actually reminds me - is Epic showing anything at E3? What are they even working on at the moment? I hope we'll see some stuff from them over the next few days.

PS4 is also not region locked. Not sure if old news.

Never owned a play station. Owned both Xbox and obviously been a live member.
Cancelled my live. Sold my 360, picked up a ps3 yesterday. Mostly to play the exclusives I missed. Now I have a ps4 on pre-order.
Still prefer pc but going to support Sony and fuck Microsoft.

That is actually huge for second/third world countries, most of XBL stuff doesn't work there anyway.

In smash brothers maybe, LoL works largely on volume. having 80 characters in a fighter would be a huge mistake, unless its a smash brothers type game, purely for fun.
... cant even avoid GoT spoilers in a console thread..
I also, I can't believe no one made a "let it happen, it will be over soon" joke.
The only way sony could have hit it further out of the park would have been partnering with apple and using the itunes store for music/video. It would be nice to be able to play the tens of thousands of songs i already own and already have on a cloud for streaming to my phone, instead of having some console trying to sell me some proprietary music/video store bullshit and re-buy albums just to be able stream them during racing games or whatever. Xbox is the same shit, so I'm not attacking sony, but it would have been nice for once.

I don't have a PC able to run anything other than quirky indie games at this point and I don't plan to upgrade any time soon. With its price point and a couple games that interest me (The Witness), I might buy the PS4 at launch, something I have not done since... damn... the Dreamcast?
