Not for games, but yes for movies. Bought a 60" 3D plasma and movies like the hobbit, Jurassic Park and recently man of steel have been awesome to watch in 3D. I get it is not that popular for many, but the PS3 had it, so was surprised it was taken out.
Love the system otherwise

That's weird, I thought they would have kept making 3D games. Guess it wasn't much of a seller?
So your saying you can't even use it to play 3D movies? You'll have to go with the PS3 or a Blu-Ray player

I pre-ordered my Xbox One on June 17 off the Future Shop website...They still haven't charged me yet...Should I be worried that I won't get it on Friday?
Also, another negative I came across for PS4 is that you can only connect 4 controllers....vs Xbox One..you can connect up to 8 controllers...
My buddies and I have like 3 on 3 NHL tournies all the times...so I guess Xbox One it is for all of them too...

Thanks.

I preordered the PS4 on June 11th from FS and paid for expedited shipping and I didn't get it until today. If you have regular shipping you may be fine as they seem to send it out earlier.

Apparently it may be patched in as a feature, but right now no 3D movies out of the box

I guess I jumped the gun a little this time around. I'm sure it will be fine eventually thought.

No offense but comments like this really bother me. Why is it so difficult for people to do a little research before they buy a product? Obviously you paid enough attention to get a pre-order in time, but you didn't think to check out the features to see which console would be a better fit for you?

I would venture to guess a lot of people who buy these consoles don't read gaming sites all the time. It's logical to assume the PS4 would do most if not all of what the PS3 already did in terms of media funtionality. And its not like Sony was really actively adverstising the fact that they removed most of the media capabilities people were already used to having in the previous console. The back of my PS3 box says "It only does everything". Does the PS4 say "It only does some things"? In all the outrage against Microsoft, Sony gets away with removing basic media capabilities that people have grown accustomed to.

A quick Google would tell you about the PS4/Xbone features, you wouldn't have to frequent gaming sites to find out which system is better for you.
It just bothers me that people don't care to look into a purchase, not just for a console but for most purchases. They just walk into the store and take whatever the sales person says as fact, when in reality they are at times misinformed or maybe just looking to make a sale.

I talked at length with one of the guys at NCIX.com yesterday.
There will be massive shortages of the Xbox One, unsurprisingly. Apparently Canada's allotment of consoles was recently cut in half (presumably due to production issues). Anyway, he said he will have a huge problem even delivering his existing pre-orders.

^ Interesting, there was a lot of rumor and talk earlier about them having yield issues. But they are also launching in 13 countries this week versus Sony with just 2.
Still, I would have thought their pre-order allocations would have been boosted by their reduction in launch countries from 21 to 13 though. I still figure they'll press release a million plus over the weekend - 100,000 per launch country shouldn't be too difficult.

It will be interesting to see how it will affect their sales in the long run if that's true. Will people just ship and not come back, or will they be upset while they wait because they want the Xbone?
I myself would be pretty ticked off, probably enough to cancel the pre-order but then I'm not much for brand loyalty.

Well, the guy from NCIX said even the allotment of PS4s was lower than expected. He expects it take until Christmas or so to fill all of the pre-orders. The Xbox One... it sounded like he was thinking even longer. As he said (paraphrasing), "I'd rather not be at work on Friday."

Are you guys buying the charging docks for PS3 hoping to use them on PS4?
Dual Shock 4 uses Micro USB (like on Android phones), not Mini USB like Dual Shock 3 on PS3.

That's great news. For some reason I thought it wouldn't be up until next week.

Now I'm kind of worried about Xbox One shortages...Whats the damn point of me pre-ordering 5 months in advance if I can't get it on the first day??
I've been thinking about just going and lining up Friday morning before work and buying 2 Xbox One's from Future Shop....I'll just put them on Kijiji and subsidize my own Xbox One...if there is going to be a shortage...might as well get some benefit out of it...
Xbox One #1: Buy for $525...sell for $650 - bank $125
Xbox One #2: Buy for $525...sell for $650 - bank $125
Own Xbox One: Buy for $525 - $250 = $275 for the new console....GET AT ME BRO!
Lol.

When did Sony announce it didn't have DLNA? Looking back ... Oct. 31st? 2 weeks before launch. After spending a lot of time researching which console I wanted last month, I decided to go with the PS4. Since there was no mention of this previous to Oct. 31st, I would have expected DLNA support since it was on the PS3.
Thanks to Igottago for summarizing it perfectly.
