PlayStation 3 players will be able to transfer their character data to Diablo III and Diablo III: Reaper of Souls on PlayStation 4, Blizzard has confirmed
Mosqueira also said that Diablo 3: Reaper of Souls on PS4 will run at 1080p and 60 frames per-second.

IGN will have hands-on impressions of Reaper of Souls soon, and more from BlizzCon throughout the weekend.

Future shop charged me for the PS4 today, hopefully that means I have it for Friday. Still haven't charged me for Battlefield 4 yet and it releases tomorrow.

Got a notification from future that my card was charged 419.99 I'm assuming they are not going to charge me unless I'm getting it shipped Friday.

Best Buy just charged my card and they don't usually do that until they're ready to ship. I'm working from home on Friday in the hopes that the PS4 is delivered then. According to the Best Buy forums Canada Post is delivering and I assume it's the same for Futureshop.

It probably depend on when they ship the console. If they are allowed to ship it before the 15th you probably will have it on the friday, if they ship it on friday, you are probably getting it next week.

Has anyone seen any game preorder bonuses on next gen games? specifically, Lego marvel or zoo tycoon (time limited WalMart exclusive) or the AAAs like CoD or BF4? Even a bonus on the annual sports games would be good.

I also have to complain about no free games for Xbox in NA yet Europe gets FIFA?

If any one knows about preorder bonuses please post!

NA doesn't get the XBOX late, some places Europe doesn't get xbox until the 1st or 2nd week in december and some not until 2014

More console/fanboy war stuff - some pretty amusing gifs/photoshops. Relax, it is only in jest.

Not having followed the 'free fifa' thing... seems like microsoft is backtracking a bit

Quote:
Microsoft social marketing manager Graeme Boyd revealed on Twitter last week that the company is only gifting FIFA 14 for Xbox One Day One Edition pre-orders
Quote:
"Due to unprecedented demand, the Xbox One Day One Edition with FIFA 14 is nearly sold out, but is still available at certain retailers
Quote:
The company is making another pre-order bundle available in the UK, with Forza Motorsport 5 replacing FIFA 14 for new pre-orders. "These are only on pre-orders for the Day One Edition bundle which are in limited supply at selected retailers in the UK,"

Pretty good summary of the "Resolutiongate" silliness/fun of all sides. NSFW - and if you hate the PC master race thingy.

yeah I think that the specifics need to be tighter with "free" stuff. I had always read it that euro day 1 edition Xbox ones up to a certain number had a FIFA digital download; somehow it got taken as all Xbox ones sold in Europe got it which is a bit different.

Canada post is pretty good at getting stuff delivered on time. If they ship it out of Calgary in the morning I assume we will be getting it same day, I've had stuff sent from Edmonton arrive next day through Canada post.

With the launches of the next gen consoles just a week away, what does social media have to say about the launches?

^ agreed, I don't care about someone else unpacking their system that you don't have yet, provides 0 entertainment value/knowledge/any type of gain..

other than the guy unboxing being like: "look what i have"

It's not a bad thing to get an idea of what comes with the box exactly but certainly not worth the amount of hype.
