This is a good site that will not only have all the coverage on Gamescom but has some other good links near the bottom. It's on the offical UK Sony site....

Honestly, I just want my local broadcast channels, FX/FXX, Food, HGTV and I'd be good with cable. I can watch ESPN at the bar.

I wouldn't have cable at all if my GF didn't pay for it. I watch about 3-5 shows consistently, and they are on 3 networks (BBC, AMC, HBO). My preference would be to just pay for those shows. Even if it's a couple of bucks an episode, I'd be way ahead, as those shows deliver under 100 episodes per year combined...probably closer to 50.
But she wants to watch Castle reruns over and over, so it is what it is.
I'd have to find somewhere to watch sports, I guess.

Cross platform is awesome... although even as a heavy, heavy PC gamer, i've never even heard of War Thunder

I'm hoping there's an option to not do cross-platform play on this particular game. I'm not looking forward to getting worked over by guys who've been playing the PC beta for a year.
I just thought it was neat that there was cross-platform play as a possibility.

There is very little chance that either console will launch in October, especially the PS4. I'm still betting the X1 hits the first week of November, with the PS4 a week or two behind. Unless the PS4 wants to launch without a few of its "launch" titles like Killzone...

Somebody's buying the first round.

I'm absolutely sticking with the October launch date (5 Nov at the absolute latest), but I'm dialing back game predictions to Media Molecule and maybe the second Guerrilla team...and probably a PSN title from Housemarque. I'd like to see a logo for an obvious sequel at the end, but I get why they'd save Naughty Dog and/or Santa Monica for the VGAs. They also need something for Tokyo. Edit: Also an indie showcase and a F2P showcase.
I think Sony is feeling pretty good about where they are, and they probably feel like the Vita price drop, a few Vita games, a couple of PS4 reveals and an October PS4 launch date is all they really need.
I'm not sure why anybody would think that Killzone is any less ready than any of the X1 launch titles. If anything, I'd say that Killzone and Forza are the only launch titles on either console that look fully baked.
For Microsoft, it's looking like Crackdown 3 and free FIFA for Europe.

I know it is extremely unlikely, but I would love for both consoles to launch on the same day!

Can you imagine the chaos of both consoles launching alongside CoD: Ghosts (on all consoles)???

Surprised that Microsoft didn't announce a date. I will be more surprised if Sony doesn't announce its date either.
Microsoft will release along COD. Sony before that. So yeah, I also think the PS4 is going to be released in late October.

I expect MS to announce their date after Sony.
They did say there would be late-breaking news overnight from MS...
