I've never owned a PlayStation console and have had both Xbox consoles... but it looks like I'll be getting a PS4 instead this time around.

Wow. This is like the Pens vs Bruins series. Expected a tight competitive campaign but Sony has completely obliterated Microsoft in almost every regard so far. Even the console itself looks way better. MS has some work to do if they don't want to get destroyed next gen, and I say that as a big Xbox and xbox 360 fan. PS4 has all my attention and its not even close.

Didn't see it mentioned in either of Sony's pressers. The PS4 is coming with a 500 GB hard drive. PS Eye is not included and is $60 and an additional Dualshock 4 controller is also $60.

Sounds like the PS4 will not have a region lock either. More good news.

My thoughts exactly. I owned a PS2 briefly when someone left it at my house but I've been a 360 guy... now.. PS4.

Sony definitely smells blood in the water, wouldn't be surprised to hear they dropped their price point in an attempt to kill the Xbox for good.

Futureshop and BestBuy are/have been up - probably will not last long given how fast ebgames and amazon sold out.

I preordered a PS4 from Futureshop, I was a 360 owner but you just can't argue the used game feature and not always needing internet.

Yea Xbox is pretty screwed. Even if MSFT backtracks, breaks all the used game vendor contracts and re-writes their entire game authentication scheme they still end up looking like sellouts by consumers. Worse, they'll be viewed as weak willed sellouts.

In other news, Amazon is posting Xbox one's first price drop

Can they even do all of that without delaying the console launch?

Heh, 4 cents. (To be fair, they do that normally - but you got me there!)

For those who are pre-ordering the XBOX One and PS4 games are now up on Futureshop.ca

Pre-Order 3 games or more and you get $20 off each.
