well this is ritarrdid

this completely undermines the ps4's price advantage

lol especially in one of the few other markets where the xbox actually puts up a decent fight against the ps3/4

i mean couldn't they have waited at least a few months for the ps4 to establish itself as the dominant console before experimenting with things like this

have some patience, sony

so in a span of 24 hours, the ps4 sold almost double the units the wii u managed for the entire year in north america

not to be outdone by sony, microsoft has a similar announcement:

am i the only one who failed to notice that images of the (actual) steam machine prototype were revealed nearly a month ago

[spoiler][/spoiler]

more here

this is my first time seeing the actual console too
[spoiler=and the back side of steam machine][/spoiler]

wow, there's so many ports, much more like a typical desktop computer than a game console:
[spoiler=list of what I see]2 HDMI
2 DisplayPort
3 DVI (2 DVI-I, 1 DVI-D)
1 eSata
4 USB 3.0 (2 more on front)
2 USB 2.0
1 PS/2 keyboard
1 Ethernet
5 Analog audio (the typical ones on desktops: line-in, mic, front/rear/center speakers)
1 Digital audio
1 Power (looks like the same connector desktops use, but I don't see a voltage selector)[/spoiler]

I wonder why there are in particular so many duplicate video outputs. I can understand wanting HDMI/DisplayPort/DVI variety (despite no analog video?), but having two of each makes it seem like they want this machine to actually use multiple TVs at once. It looks like half of these are on a removable video card.

Maybe they hope to somehow simultaneously compete in the game console and productivity workstation markets

By comparison, PS4 has only one each of power, HDMI, digital audio, AUX, and ethernet

that's like the original ps3 mockup from e3 2005 [port-wise] on steroids, it's beautiful :'(

i thought this was just a myth

The only reason that I'm switching to the PS4 from the Xbox 360 is because Sony & PlayStation treat their customers very well, unlike Microsoft's money whoring attitude with the Xbox 360. I paid $60 per year for XBL, I received nothing in return but those BA$+@RDS HAD THE NERVES TO PUT F@#$ING ADVERTISEMENTS ON MY F@#$ING DASHBOARD!!! once my XBL runs out my 360 will become a useless brick because everything good is behind a damn pay wall!!!
