I think it's 2 in the morning, to be precise.

As Shikoro said, it's APNG.
And I hope not; that means it's starting here at 04:00 am, and probably lasts two hours.. And then ... I have to call the boss.
We really aren't.
Firefox here and I see it.
Edit: Now I want an Old Snake avatar with a blinking Solid Eye.
No, they're not. The robot's eyes glow, and Noctis' car's moving. It's rad.
I think it is, won't risk it.

You can't really differ between png and apng, so it'd be on a user basis. So don't over-do it, I guess.
Ok, I have a piece of information I would like to share with you guys.
Croatian official Sony dealership has started taking PS4 preorders at the price of 3999 HRK/€528. I've talked to one guy in the Sony store and asked him if that was just a placeholder price considering that Sony made no price announcement. He told me that this was the information that was given to them as an official dealer of Sony products.
Now, considering that in Croatia Playstation products usually cost about €70 more on launch when compared to RRP for EU, my estimate is that PS4 launch price will be €450 in Europe (and I guess $450 in USA).
Now, I don't know if there are multiple SKUs, so this might be the price for just the more expensive one (I doubt Sony will go north of €450) or it might be an indicator of just one SKU.
So, once again, I'm not betting my account on this, this isn't some top secret info from SCE, it's just what a guy from dealership told me, so take it as you will.

OH NOES. I want it to be 400€. BTW, are they accepting preorders for release in 2013 or 2014?

I would like a 429 price. I thought it would be 399 before the 8GBgate.

I hope SCE teases some of the game announcements like they did with The Last of Us. They could do it with The Order 1886.
The promotinal flyer merely says "Soon":
Short translation:
"SOON, reserve your unit"
Fine print below says:
Voucher value is 500 KN (cca. €66) and by purchasing it you are making a reservation of your PS4 console. Final price will be reduced by the voucher value. You get 300 KN of extra discount (by preordering). Expected retail price is 3999 KN.
Also, considering that this ad was running on tonight's Champions League final:
I'd say that 2013. EU launch is almost 100% confirmed.

is there a way I could get the PS4 font for the full alphabet?
Better that than an Xbone in the arse.
Mountains of salt, etc. Doesn't really mean much.
That translates to pretty much £399, so that's good at least. If the PS4 is more than £399 in the UK it won't sell well at all.
Actually, thinking about it. If Sony launch the PS4 at $499, that translates to £330, so hopefully we won't end up paying more than £350 in the UK.
I'm going to guess that the Xbone is going to release at around £250-300, if Sony doesn't launch the PS4 at the same price I really can't see them claiming the share of the market in the UK.

I find this strangely worded, if we assume it's meant to come November/December:
"set for launch"
Seems like that would mean they are ready to launch much sooner, much sooner than Holiday 2013 they said in February.
What do you think?

I think it says "set for launch" instead of "launching" which could mean its not happening in 2013 anyways >_>

$399 and $499

If they do that then it will sell really well. Do we know if that camera comes with the system?

450 is what I expected but still would be a lil bummer. I hoped they could go for 399. Well there could be a tard model indeed so who knows.

They (rightfully) sacrificed the camera that was supposed to come with every PS4 for the 8GB of RAM. So no, it'll probably be only in more expensive models, and won't be necessary to use your console.

Considering what it has , that price will be great.
Is that speculation or did they confirm it?

8 gb ddr5 and the gpu. maybe even some things in that DS4.
Compared to Cell and Blu-Ray in 2006, this is chump change. Sony learned the hard way that nobody pays $500 for a game console so they wisely built a system as powerful as possible while being affordable for them and consumers.

I could see there being a $499 SKU. Why not? There's high rollers out there that would buy it. Bigger hard drive. 12 month PS+ sub. Second controller. Killzone Shadowfall included.
There's many things they could do to justify a $500 SKU.

i think they'll copy nintendo with how they did the wii u but it would only affect the hard drive and one will come with a ps4 eye. so $399 and $499 is right.
Adding -gate to something assumes there was some sort of controversy or scandal. As far as I'm concerned there was no controversy or scandal when Sony unveiled the PS4 will have 8GB of GDDR5 RAM.
My hope is that $399 is the absolute highest for their base SKU. Anything higher and it will have to be bundled with 1 or 2 games that I'm excited to play.

Hopefully the hdd is actually changeable and make it easier.
You shouldn't underestimate inflation (which is pretty significant after a seven year period) as well as the fact that the system does come with quite a few goodies (DS4, good GPU and RAM, possibly the eye).
I'm probably getting an SSD for my system - hopefully they won't go for a fixed drive!

So PSEye is confirmed to not be a standard? I didn't know this...
8GB GDDR5 is about the only "expensive" thing I can think of. The GPU is good but not crazy for 2013. No cell, no new blu-ray, should be cheaper than a launch PS3 which had a $500 SKU.
I don't know much about inflation, but 2 year after PS3 launch there was economic bullshit, deflation and stagnation. Also, what are people willing to pay for today? $500 is pushing it, they need a $400 SKU at least, if not cheaper, IMO. I could see $430 as someone said though.

man, a 2013 (pretty much confirmed now) launch is great.
It'll still be nowhere near what the BOM for the PS3. That cost them $840 dollars to make at launch and they sold it at a gigantic loss.

Sony already said this fall on Feb. Unless you mean in Europe.
Sure, you can justify a lot once you start packing in games and controllers but that's beside the point. I don't think we'll see multiple SKUs though.
Prices of electronics in EU [especially in the countries that are not part of the EU] can vary pretty widely. Even in the old EU countries, price of lets say Iphone can go up and down a lot according to the local taxes and laws. The cheapest iPhone in EU can almost always be found in Switzerland.
Here in Serbia I fully expect that the local PS4 price will be 100-150€ higher from the recommended EU price.
Again, Croatian prices are ALWAYS higher than RRP for EU. It's not gonna be that much.
My educated guess (based on that flyer, what the guy from dealership told me and history of Playstation product pricing in my country) is €450/$450. Perhaps there will also be "starter" €399 SKU, but there is only one price on that flyer so that's just my guess.
And that's maybe even optimistic. PS3 was something like 700-750?

M0dus is speculating. Not saying it isn't true though.
It was ~700 yeah.
