Little confused. So, the DS4 has a microphone built in? if so, does the stupid headset they provided also have a Mic? I want to get a good headset this christmas, but not sure on the logistics of the mic

I'm pretty certain that the DS4 doesn't have a built in microphone. It supports headset that has a microphone and the earpieces on one line, though, such as the little headset that was delivered with the system. So unless you can find a decent headset that has the microphone and audio on one line, you'll probably have to go with one of those cellphone earbud things. I wanna say USB headsets are supported though. Not 100% on that.

There are the weirdest PS4 Twitch streams coming up lately. Especially /The Playroom is slowly becoming a sort of chat roulette for an audience.

This probably won't end well for Twitch OR Sony, lol.
The Playroom is selling camera's for Sony so I'm sure they are very happy with this turn of events. Twitch on the other hand is banning the streams left and right.

They've always had this problem at twitch.

The difference with this is so many people have access to stream very easily versus setting all that shit up on a PC.
Anyway, Twitch is run by the biggest staff of dumb asses so I'm sure this will come crashing down on them.

Twitch has sponsors just like every other network, so if they are unhappy with the press they are getting from this shit expect some big changes.

The easiest way to solve this is to make people pay a monthly sub to stream on Twitch from a PS4. Just make everyone get Turbo imo.
If all the trolls go to Ustream, thats a win win.

The lack of archiving of the streams with Twitch on PS4 makes me think a subscription model to allow PS4 users to save their streams is in the cards.

Are they banning everything or only the nudity or other weird and obviously-don't-stream-it type stuff?

WTF - $1750 to get every single car? (Assuming $60 price on the game itself) On a paid to start title? That is goddam hilariously awful.

Please don't do this shit to Driveclub Sony. I want to actually have a driving game I give a shit about.

Heh - either a_skeleton_03 just got famous or he linked something he saw elsewhere. It was weird enough to believe it was legitimately him, but with it being picked up by Tosh.0 blog I wonder...

Anything that makes EA look tame by comparison is fucking unbelievable

The following picture says all that needs to be said about Forza, and the Xbone in general

Where at?
I posted an ingame vid at 720p youtube compression in the new next-gen poll thread. IMO it shows easily enough that those pics on the right are bullshit, but maybe my eyesight sucks

[EDIT]

As for the Forza monetization, I can buy every car in the game with in-game earned currency and never have to buy a token so it's a non-starter as far as I'm concerned. When I HAVE to buy tokens to progress in a game I paid full-price for then I'll be on the front-lines with everyone else.

So the complaining about Forza is that you have to actually earn the cars or pay a shit load of cash? Am I missing something?

How fast is the in game currency being earned? Are you going to have to grind it out or will enough come relatively naturally from fully playing the game? Just because something's theoretically possible isn't the end all if it takes a huge effort to obtain.
