Pach-Attack! Video - PS4 Launch Special Report | GameTrailers

Pachter makes a good point (one he also made in the newestBonus Round) - that, regardless of the power differences, people are just fucking tired of the old consoles. They are ancient and it's time to buy a new one. 7-8 years is alongtime and people want new stuff.

Sony also will have close to 7 million consoles manufactured by the end of March, a bit over 6 million will have made it into stores, and he thinks Sony's 5 million sale estimate is conservative.

Gamestop has already shipped my NFS even though I ordered it after my Amazon stuff. Annoying though that my 2-day shipping from Amazon has an expected delivery date of Friday. Wont get the console till then but they shanked me outta a few extra dollars for 2-day so I could make sure I had it by Friday rather than rolling the dice on 3-5 day.

Isn't 2-day shipping on Amazon free on pre-orders(even without Prime) or did the games no longer count as "pre-ordering"?

Has anyone successfully applied the Killzone pre-order code from Amazon? Customer Service just sent me a new one and this one, too, doesn't work.
Haven't even got mine yet, if it doesn't show up tomorrow I guess I'll be contacting CS too. My AC4 one didn't show up until a day after it said it shipped though.

I got the AC4 one, but nothing for Killzone. What is the Killzone one for?

Nah just regular 2-day shipping option. Next day seemed a bit overkill and the only other option might have had my games coming at the first of next week which wouldnt be acceptable

I live close to one of the Amazon fulfillment warehouses, too bad they wont let me just pick my stuff up.

Polygon released theirXB1 review of CoD: Ghosts

The two versions look nearly identical. Viewing the Xbox One release next to the PS4 , I had difficulty telling them apart. It's possible that the PS4 version looked somewhat sharper, but that may have just been my imagination after confirming the hard resolution difference. The next-gen releases of Call of Duty: Ghosts are so close together that gun to my head, I'd have no confidence in being able to discern which version was which ? at least, while the two are standing still.

The Xbox One release's framerate was far more noticeable. As mentioned in the initial review, Call of Duty: Ghosts suffers from consistent framerate drops on the PS4, especially during multiplayer when action got especially hectic. The Xbox One version suffered no such drops, maintaining a steady 60 frames per second throughout.
Let the rustling begin...
