On a somewhat more serious note... anyone show the console to the significant other and actually have them think it was worth the money? I barely think it was worth the money, so I'm curious.
Since my significant other doesn't care about video games she wouldn't think it was "worth the money" if it only cost ten dollars. However, she is ok with it as long as I enjoy it. And no, I don't make 10 dollars an hour either.

My wife loves the fact that I have all my toys. On the plus side, every bit of electronic equipment within my entertainment center/living room is black. You barely see this stuff in the day, and they're virtually invisible at night except for power lighting.

I'm not sure how you hide that from the wife.

But imagine the porn applications!

I read this integrates with the Playstation camera and Move. That's cool. But if the camera and Move are required for it to work, it will be DOA.

Those are some pretty stills. And I don't even like baseball.

I see the VR headset as a step closer to full immersion gaming. This gen the Headsets will be pretty pricey (around $300?) But near the end of this gen the price will be more affordable. Once PS5 gets released, we'll have the introduction to Haptic Gloves tech. That's when VR will really take off.

Sweeten them? Sure. But the pictures show how much the game has changed on the PS4 version versus the PS3. I mean they already did the Fenway Park comparison, which is amazing in and of itself.

Fenway Comparison here

I haven't played a good baseball game in years. I cannot wait to get my hands on MLB the show. The detail and those animations are sick.

It looks like it sort of is a Move controller, in the same way that the Dualshock 4 is (lights), and I'd imagine they'd have a SKU bundled with the camera for an extra $40-$50.

Also makes you wonder about Driveclub and what else is going on there.

I'm sure they cherry picked their screenshots, but c'mon. Bullshots happen 6 months to a year out or when a game is announced. This is a game that will go gold in the next couple of weeks and will be released in just over a month.

Also, I heard the same things about Infamous, and it still looks ridiculous to me.

Edit: Posted by one of the devs on GAF in response to similar skepticism:

We appreciate the feedback, but we don't do "bullshots"....Shots are generally taken straight from replay, although Ramone may have used the fly cam to get the shot of the crowd.

Beyond the action on the field, the detail and variety in the crowd is actually the most impressive thing to me:

Spoiler:


Other sports games are on notice because most of their crowds are...

Spoiler:



NBA2K is pretty good.

Dayum The Show is shaping up nicely! I have this one on pre-order and May 6th can't come soon enough --- except for the fact that it's my birthday and I really don't want more of those
