Playstation 4

The Playstation 4 is the new sandwich-shaped console from Sony that is set to be released in November 2013 at a cost of $400. Its design just about mirrors that of the *shiver* Xbox One. With the PS4, Sony succeeded in stripping users of their online freedom by introducing a service similar to Xbox Live called Playstation Plus, which will cost $50 a year. At least Sony guarantees to combat the "always online requirement" and "used game fees" of that other console *cough*Xbone*cough*. The PS4's "DualShock 4"controller is like all of the other ones that date back to the PS1 . . . with a big ass touch pad in the middle and a blue laser on top so players can now pretend that they are in "Tron." And you can now use your $250 Playstation Vita as the controller, too! *Ahem, Wii U?* The PS4 supposedly updates the graphics capabilities of the PS3. However, the graphics seem to be the same to the naked eye, unless Sony somehow pulled 1081p out of their asses. Also, the PS4 is unable to read PS3 disks due to the fact that Sony can't fit the ability into its sandwich console. Instead, most PS3 titles will be streamed out of the crap that is Sony's new Gaikai cloud service. You'll probably need an internet connection for that, though *cough*Xbone*cough*. At least the PS4 doesn't force all of that other multi-media bullsh*t down our throats like other systems do *cough*Xbone&WiiU*cough*. No one needs to hear about how you can watch ESPN and go on UD with a "gaming" console.
