I've got mine thru Best Buy and see if they follow suit. Seems when one retailer throws in some credit, discount or some extra bonus others follow.

Interesting read here....

The Last of Us on PS4 Won’t Support Pre-Load; Naughty Dog Devs “Can’t Go back” After Playing at 60 FPS

http://www.dualshockers.com/2014/06/...ing-at-60-fps/

Price dropped to $49.99 at Best Buy as well ($39.99 if unlocked). Kudos to them for not releasing it as a full price game.

Thanks for the heads up...feel a little better now.

Sounds like good news for us getting the remastered version for the PS4....

The Last of Us: Remastered PS4 Is Next-Gen, "Loads High-Res Data & Way More To Fill 8GB, Its Still Faster"

Naughty Dog's Drew Thaler has shared some interesting new details regarding The Last of Us: Remastered for Playstation 4

Take a full disc. Up-rez literally everything (incl audio). Add 1GB MP maps, 5GB Left Behind. Fit on same disc. Load faster. Sixty."

"This is next-gen for me: compared to PS3, PS4 TLOU:R is loading higher-res data and WAY more of it to fill 8 GiB, and it's *still* faster."

"The Last of Us: Remastered for PS4. We're almost done, and it's beautiful. "


He further clarified he was referring to both "Uncharted 4: A Thief's End and The Last of Us: Remastered" with this tweet "This game is going to look so damn good."


"Both, but I was looking at TLOU:R when I said it!" clarified Drew.

"Both … but I was looking at TLOU:R when I said it. Side-by-side it's just crazy how much better it is than PS3."
Lastly Drew stated that those who missed The Last of Us on Playstation 3, Remastered on Playstation 4 will be worth it.

" It'll be worth it!"

I would love to go back and play that game for the first time again. Even a year later, nothing has come close to that game in my eyes.

I have it on ps3 but never finished it, definitely getting this but not for more than $40

It is $40 if you are unlocked at Best Buy

have no reason to revisit this
stand by my first impressions on pg 10 (aside from spelling "off" wrong in the spoiler post) of the game

Looking forward to this. I sold my PS3 quite a few years ago, so this will be my first exposure to the game.

Yeah, I'm gonna pass on this. The first go around left such an impression on me that I actually don't wanna revisit it and possibly see flaws, etc that could dampen my opinion of it.

Gameinformer got a chance to play the new remastered version. A small but good detail on what they thought...

http://www.gameinformer.com/games/th...emastered.aspx

All I can say is that the game looks really good at 60fps. Playing it at 30fps would be a terrible idea. It's not like inFAMOUS SS where the game struggles to hit 30-35, TLOU is 55-60 the entire time.

Can't wait

Should of never bought the ps3 version

Stu, do you know anything about the preorder stuff, like the skins and the weapon crafting stuff? Is it worth it?

Just read this and made me LOL.

I loved the final release of course. But it's always interesting how games evolve in development.

I know this sounds gimmicky but, at least it is an interesting use of the lightbar...even if we can't see it lol.

Other games do that as well, and it's pointless. The only thing the light on the controller is good for is killing its battery life.

agreed...I hate it, and wish you could turn it off.

I have never bought a custom controller for myself (I bought my son one) but I am not interested in rapid fire, or special buttons...I want a custom ps4 controller with a better battery, and the ability to turn off the light. I would buy one of those.

This should be really interesting

That would be awesome to see live. I'm going to check it out on YouTube.

50gb is more or less the norm these days so no surprise there.
