Time to geek out.
What are you looking forward too?

I'm looking forward to more on the PlayStation 4, a competent Vita lineup, and some NHL 14 news.

Not on the PS3. I erased them on my pc when I had to replace it. It wasn't on purpose.

Damn that sucks. Aren't you a PS+ member? I thought they backed up your saves on their cloud or whatever.

Yeah, but my kids were getting annoyed with having to always log out of my profile upon start up just to get to theirs so I turned that off. I don't understand why they force you to log directly into a profile on startup just to use that feature on PSN+. What if we had multiple family members on plus? Which profile gets started in that case. Kind of dumb.

I know I have a few saves in teh cloud but not many.

Sony: PS3 to PS4 upgrade pricing determined by publisher

Posted by:*Matt Liebl0commentsDuring Sony's Gamescom press conference, president Andrew House revealed a program that allows consumers to upgrade from select PS3 titles to their PS4 counterpart for a significantly discounted price. For a limited time games likeCall of Duty: Ghosts,*Assassin's Creed 4: Black Flag, Watch Dogs,and*Battlefield 4*will be discounted through Sony's digital store; however, Sony confirmed that the publishers will be the ones to determine the price to upgrade."The publisher gets to define that, actually. What will happen is, the PS4 digital file will be made available on the PlayStation Store - as it would be anyway - at launch, and the PS3 discs will be sold through retail,"*UK managing director Fergal Gara told Digital Spy."What the consumer can then do, for a premium to be defined by the publisher, is access the PS4 digital game and then provided they still have the PS3 disc, they will be able to play the PS4 version when they decide to buy the next gen," he explained.Gara went on to say that the time window and price window have "yet to be defined," but hopefully we find out soon. "Time window is probably more business policy for PlayStation, perhaps, but hte premium will be defined by the publisher," he reiterated.Confirmed publishers partaking in the upgrade program include Ubisoft, Activision, EA, and Warner Bros. The program should help ease*consumer hesitation*knowing that they'll easily be able to upgrade their games for a discount once the next-gen systems arrive in November. Sony revealed at Gamescom that the PS4 will release on November 15 in the U.S. (November 29 in Europe); Microsoft is maintaining a "November" launch window.

Microsoft Investor Wants To Fire Ballmer And Sell Xbox Division

A report by BizJournals claims that ValueAct, a $2 billion Microsoft investor with a 1% stake in the company, is seeking to achieve some major changes at Microsoft. Analyst Rick Sherlund claims that big changes are going to take place very soon as other shareholders support the decision to get rid of Steve Ballmer in addition to the investment group ValueAct. According to the report ValueAct are seeking to replace Steve Ballmer because his strategy “inspires little confidence”.

Apparently Microsoft has no choice but to give ValueAct a board seat otherwise they might launch a “public war” on Steve Ballmer and Microsoft that could end with serious turmoil at the company.

“A decision by the board at Microsoft to offer a nomination for a board seat could keep the activist agenda behind closed doors and take longer for shareholders to see potential benefits”

Furthermore it is believed they might target the Xbox division and try and get rid of it altogether. This would allow Microsoft to focus on other products and mainly Windows.

“Xbox is cool, but by our estimates Microsoft has not made money at this”

Ballmer is "retiring" anyway.

Shit. I just don't know which console to get. This is ****ing with me. I've had an XBox since like 2002 or some shit. But I just have to think the PS4 is the much better machine and buy.

First world problems.

im waiting. Ill just upgrade next year when people have opinions.....

[Quesadilla Joe]

If you're not dead set on getting a day 1 console I'd just wait awhile. You never know if one of the consoles will have issues, and places like Digital Foundry will test both of these consoles to death to see which one is better.

I won't play either enough to justify that; so it will probably just be one.

I went all in with the last generation. 360, PS3, and the Wii; and the only one I played consistently was the 360. Sold the others off at a tremendous loss. And I've become a far, far more casual gamer since then.
