Even completely removing the gaming aspect, these things are like a personal 3D Imax screen. Toss in some high-end headphones and it's going to be awesome for non-gaming stuff as well.
Nah, all you could get now is a blurry imax screen. Note that there's different imax screen sizes, ranging from 7k to 18k, so this image understates it but is still a good comparison.

Sorry, I didn't mean literally the resolution of Imax. I just mean it's a huge stereoscopic 3D 1080p screen that takes up your entire vision, much like the effect of being at a 3D movie theater.

Not that it matters much, but it seems the morpheus demos were running on windows

There's probably no way to avoid the fact that the HMD version of PS4 games will probably have the visual quality reduced to PS3 levels. The high demand of a 90hz refresh rate + having to render each scene twice + the increased fov is brutal. Having a higher resolution (1440) is more important, but they can probably upscale it without a problem.

IDK if they were planning this out from before launch they probably used the same engineers that built the console (Atleast I would assume they would maybe that's idiocy on my part) and maybe they know the true limitations better? I guess we will see.

Amazon had xbone+forza for $399 after promo code this morning. Pretty crazy how fast MS is putting out these promos to keep sales up

And it's still not selling. It's also not $399 - it's $499.01 and the promo code is emailed within 2 days of ship - so you basically are getting a free Forza game. Where are you getting $399?

Yeah, but you also said you were never going to get a PS4 yet here we are...
But the PS4 is a good system.

At any rate, not trying to start anything, just talking about how ridiculous Microsoft is. They even got to the Administrative staff at SA and convinced them to heavily moderate the Xbone thread into only positive comments. Even the users there are in an uproar.

That is the most passive/aggressive statement ever. Are you this big of a pussy in real life?

If you want to say something just say it. Good lord people today are so scared of everything..

You act like this is something shocking. Drive Club is finished. Most staff of internal development unfortunately get laid off once a project is done. The same for the developer that finished Killzone for the Vita, and their unannounced project was likely canned.

It was 399 moron go check Kotaku, it was an error in their system, and amazon honors errors.


The Xbox One Forza 5 Bundle is $400 on Amazon right now with code XIAMAZON. We don't know if this is a mistake or not, and if you want one then don't wait around to find out. Update: Back up to $450 after the promo code, meaning this was almost certainly an error. Here's hoping you all managed to get one. ? Today 1:57am
