PlayStation 4 to cost $399 USD no restrictions used games
Sony has just announced the cost of the PlayStation 4 when it goes on sale later this year. It'll be $399. That's $100 less than Microsoft's Xbox One. In Europe, it'll be €399 and £349. There's no specific release date or month yet, just "this holiday season" in the US and Europe. The official spec list confirms that for four bills, you get the system, a controller, USB, HDMI and power cables -- but no PlayStation 4 Eye.
“The gaming landscape is changing with new business models and new ways to play,” said Andrew House, president and CEO of Sony Computer Entertainment.
The loudest applause at the event came when Jack Tretton, president and CEO of Sony Computer Entertainment America, announced Sony would not try to restrict used game sales. “PlayStation 4 disc-based games don’t need to be connected online to play or any type of authentication,” said Tretton. “If you enjoy playing single-player games offline, PS4 won’t require to you check in online period and it won’t stop working if you haven’t authenticated in 24 hours.
Shu Yoshida, president of Sony Worldwide Studios, says the company’s studios have more than 30 PS4 games in development, including 12 brand new intellectual properties.

What really irks me is the ridiculous stone age storage used every time. 20GB/60GB PS3s when 500GB 2.5" HDDs were dirt cheap, and I mean the high quality (as they reached) 7200RPM ones. Now the PS4 rolls around with 500GB storage which may or may not be 3.5". Even if it is 2.5" again 1TB HDDs cost nothing.
It wouldn't be so bad if it weren't some pseudo-FAT32 type of file system which robs 40% of the storage for whatever reason. As if it weren't bad enough that manufacturers measure HDDs in SI units rather than binary just to troll us. 500GB? No problem bro, here's 465, oh and the OS reserves an additional 165, enjoy 300GB.

I mainly only buy consoles for JRPG's and the odd exclusive. With easily swappable hard drives, no region locks, and a cheaper price tag I'm pretty much sold on the PS4 at this point. MS can keep its weaker 'Kinect' enforced offering.
