The controller looks like a cheap knockoff you would find at the dollar store. Horrible.

I really wish Rockstar could incorporate how fun that game was into their GTA series or even just come out with a new Midnight Club.
I loved Midnight Club! What racing game is closest to it these days?

As far as I know, there hasn't been a racing game like Midnight Club in a few years.

The new Need For Speed might be, but I'm gonna wait for reviews before I pick it up because of the whole "always online" thing.

I like the text on the touchpad but the color scheme is bad and those white analog sticks are going to get brown and gross looking after a month or two of use.

What lazy designing by the Playstation team, especially compared to the 360 Star Wars from a few years ago.

Unlike the Halo design, that PS4 Star Wars special edition is not making me think must buy. In fact my first impression was "why are they so proud to be holding that?"

I agree that it seems a pretty lazy design

Yeah lazy design for sure.

How they didn't work the LED on top of the machine into a lightsabre, that makes lightsabre sounds when you turn it on is crazy to me.

That R2-D2 360 with the C3-PO controller is probably the best limited edition console of all time.

I like the controller, but I agree that the console is pretty lazy.

Will still sell a lot, though.

I had never seen that before. Looks great. The design of the 360 did lend well to customizations though. It's a shame they couldn't pack the XB1 into a similar designed case.

I have one just for collectors sake...to be fair though R2D2 gives you much more to work with when designing a console and they couldn't use that again

C3PO controller is pretty lame though...the wires at the bottom look stupid

Light Sabre with the led would have been cool

What's wrong with the graphics? They look great unless you are unlucky enough to still be playing on PS3 or Xbox 360.

I guess that explains how they're making this game work on the old consoles.

For the xbox one that's native resolution before upscaling?

Well I made that comment based on the PS4/PS3 screenshots. From those images I don't find the environments to be very impressive looking. I will say though that the PC screenshots further down the page do look pretty damn good. I didn't see those last night.

What in the #### is up with PS4's download speeds? 4 hours to download a 672 MB update file is complete nonsense.

That is crazy. But maybe it's because of your connection? I downloaded "Old Blood" in about half that time and it's over 30 Gigs.

I had the exact same problem, but with the Xbox. Ended up wiring them both in and now have no issues, but used to drive me crazy how slow things would download.
