Re: PS4 Pre-Release Thread: No MP3 for You! (11/15/2013)
Games Radar has a article up...Are Ground Zeroes and Destiny exclusives Sony's secret weapons?
...that caught my eye. A few stand out lines should be mentioned....
CVG News reports that Metal Gear Solid Ground Zeroes could very well feature exclusive PS4 content, based on a promo banner tweeted by master troll Hideo Kojima himself. Earlier this morning, game industry dignitary Geoff Keighley hinted at a special announcement surrounding Bungie's much-anticipated Destiny at the very same event.
These wouldn't be the first AAA games to include exclusive content for Sony's platforms. Ubisoft's Assassin's Creed 4: Black Flag boasts an extra hour of gameplay on the dual PlayStations, with plans to give Watch Dogs the same treatment.
...maybe old news but still this "exclusives" can add up. Hopefully see and hear more tomorrow.

He confirmed that the iPhone buds will work for audio (any 3.5mm headphones will), but I don't think they will for chat, because Apple has an odd pin order for their mic.

I ordered the launch day system on June 10th, or whatever the first day was. There still hasn't been a single change on my information. Not shipping soon, not anything.

Yeah, I know, but it still worries me, heh.
About that $5 credit deal I mentioned before, I just got an email confirming it. Awesome.

Got a shipping notification for my Lunch Edition PS4 from Amazon. 
Those who haven't don't sweat it, I've found that it takes them a while to get through everybody. It may be tomorrow before you get the notification, but it'll still arrive launch day.

Historically, I've been very indecisive when it comes to my consumer electronics (I've taken advantage of the one week return policy on phones three times in one month until I found the right phone) and this process has been no different. I started off preordering a PS4, then doubted myself and switched the preorder to an Xbox One and second guessed that decision ever since. This morning when the Gamestop bundles came back in stock for a short time, I was able to switch back and now I'm finally back in the fold with a PS4 (plus a game, an extra controller, and a year of PS Plus...all of which I would have bought separately anyway). Unfortunately, I had to order it, so it's being delivered on Monday so I won't get to partake in the midnight madness tomorrow night (the post-midnight fun - not the standing in 30 degree weather for 6 hours madness), but I can rest comfortably knowing I secured a PS4.

I kept looking and wondering why my PS4 hasn't shipped yet. I began to feel sad.
See?
Then I remembered I never ordered one
In all seriousness, some of you Sony fanbois are getting excited eh? My father-in-law is, I know that. He's Sony for lyfe. Yes, the same FIL from the classic dawgy threads. Yes, I did help him buy his PS4 (gave him $100, and called it a Christmas/birthday gift).
What's the go-to Sony game for launch? Knack? Killzone?

Knack is getting bad reviews, Killzone should be much better. Then try out the free to play games I guess.

In reading yours, it might be the fact that my games haven't shipped. They just entered the preparing for shipment phase (I got Free Shipping, not in a mad rush). So we'll see if I get it when it ships.
