Playstation Plus

As the Playstation 4 was revealed on June 10th, Sony did not mention the elephant in the room: Playstation Plus.

For those who do not know, we must now pay $5/month or  $50/year (discounted) for online access on the Playstation 4. This means that if you want to kill those noobs on Call of Duty, dominate the Battlefield or beat that annoying 12 year old racer on Gran Turismo, you’ll have to pay.

Now, it might be a hassle, considering not everyone plays everyday. One thing that will for sure come out of this decision is the fact that servers will improve. Consider this: XBOX 360 offers XBOX Live for gamers and in return, a great support with great online connectivity and power. Sony must prove that by purchasing the Playstation Plus, gamers will have no problems with their connection. Fingers crossed for this one!

Sony, do not make a mistake on this. You have the ball on your court!

Sony Supports Used Games

After Microsoft confirmed restrictions for their console (XBOX One) on used games, Sony took charge and made their move. They confirmed that they will support used games. FUS RO DAH!

This means that all the games that you buy, you can either keep it forever, sell it to another person, lend it to a friend or trade it in at a retail store.

Checkmate Microsoft.

They went too far (not really) when they posted this funny – I mean, informative and helpful video.

Erasing the Competition

When I posted this, I began to realize: what competition?

GTA 5 PS3 Bundle: Worth It?

Now, I understand Playstation is still trying to get some juice out of the PS3, but making a GTA 5 bundle with a 7 year old system? Very risky. I understand people have been waiting for a San Andreas remake for Grand Theft Auto, but I wouldn’t put my money on a system that will be replaced about a month later. This move might hurt Sony, but I’m sure it wouldn’t be too bad.

I know for a fact that Grand Theft Auto will be a hit, and I know Sony will be selling tons of this stuff. I’m just doubting how many can they sell. Other than the fact that it’s risky, it’s a good idea. Also, I really like the headphones. If only they sold the headphones, that would be pretty awesome!

Playstation 4: A New Era of Gaming

I am a gamer. A gamer plays video games. We do not watch television on our consoles. Television is for the TV and HD boxes and PVRs. Gamers game.

Also, online should not be a mandatory thing for each gamer. Online should be an option.

WOW! I must say, Sony exploded in the E3 conference.

I will be reviewing the full conference for Sony and giving them a verdict with 5 categories:

1. Entrance
2. Beginning
3. Midway
4. Ending
5. Everything In Between

My first point, the entrance was awesome! They featured their games and animations and everything in between. I loved the dubstep entrance with the cool video in the background. I don’t think that that’s in the video I posted, but if you can find one, take a look. My verdict: 8 out of 10 for entrance.

When they started the conference, I was expecting the price in the beginning. Understandably, they have to start with what we have currently out on the market: the Playstation 3 and the Playstation Vita. Sure, it’s a good thing that they showed what’s up with the PS3 and PSVita. Arguably, people may say it’s a bad start for a worldwide reveal of something being long awaited for. I disagree. They care about their community enough to state their position on what they currently have, and they can get on to the things that haven’t even come out yet later on. Good job Sony! For the beginning: 7.5 out of 10.

Here comes the good stuff. GAMES! Nothing but games. Sony delivered what they promised. They even showed their sexy-looking PS4. With that in mind, they acknowledged that gaming is the core of the Playstation 4 and everything Playstation. Although they covered a good amount of media in the console, all they talked about were games, games and games. I must say, they really stuck it to Microsoft when they started talking about their policy on used games and online requirements. Overall, they created a console for gaming, and talked about gaming. It’s what gamers came for and watched for at E3. My verdict for the a good chunk of the presentation: 8.5 out of 10.

Although the good parts have passed (sort of), they still haven’t mentioned the pricing for the PS4. I guess they planned to end it with a bang. The Playstation 4 will be out on the shelves this coming holiday season at $399. Amazing! They are $100 cheaper compared to the XBOX ONE. Well played, Sony. Well played. My verdict for the ending: 8 out of 10. Thank you Sony!

This was a great E3, and the Sony conference blew away the gamers. They now hold the gates to what may be one of the best generation for gaming. EVER!
