PlayStation 4 price and hardware unveiled

Sony has finally shown us what the PS4 looks like and how much it will cost

What's with these butt-ugly consoles? Are we back in the 70's with plain square black furniture?

A very wise person once said:

Perhaps the new trend is to design appliances that look like crap, and then later you redesign it to look better, and get some suckers to buy it again just because it looks nicer.

Haha good one :P. If I bought one of these, it'd be hidden in the cabinet just like my current console.

Seeing that it won't be region locked and that I will be in the US come November.... Time to weigh up the cost in $ and the cost in ZAR!

get about 50 consoles and sell them at a reduced price when you are back in SA

So much for PS having free multiplayer, but it's actually ok because I pay for PS+ anyway just because of the excellent value of the service, and it's still way less hectic than all the stuff coming with the XBone

Might be ugly, but compared to the XBox it's a fair bit cheaper. Then again, I'm one of those guys who doesn't really care what a thing looks like - it's what it does what matters. And between the two new consoles, I'm definitely leaning in the PS direction right now, although whether I'll pick it up on release is debatable.

PS4 it is, then.

$400 vs $500 XBOX One, and quite a bit faster by the looks of things.... well played Sony.
