Yes, I saw that as well. That's the most important factor above all else for me. If you live abroad from your home country, it's hell trying to navigate which games are in English, which ones have English support, which ones I don't need English for, the release dates are different and sometimes it takes months later for them to come out in Japan, and vice versa.
That it's so easy on my PS3 and Vita to both a) go to the electronics store and buy software carts/discs and b) access the US PSN store for digital purchases is the single biggest reason I have a PS3 and not an X360.
I don't think I'm buying either of the consoles. At least not in the first few years. Sony looks to have a better valued console but their game showing was very disappointing. It was a bit like MS conferences the past few years: show games that people know about already, talk "entertainment stuff", show multiplatform games etc.
I was shocked that MS actually had a good game showing but they messed it up with that hilarious price point.

We were wrong, Clegg, and it is good.
I agree that the software showing as a tad sparse. But like I said I don't base my opinions off software showings at conferences because I expect there to be great games regardless. I'll be buying at launch not because I absolutely have to have the launch games but because I love getting new hardware and now I know it ticks the boxes in terms of features.
Sony continuously kept announcing the multi-platform titles as "coming exclusively to PS4...first".

Holy shit Destiny looks good
Watch Dogs looked good as well, and I know I'll love Infmaous and Killzone even though they were hardly mindblowing. Price is good if a little annoying with the conversion,and I lost the avatar bet for the 'pay to play online,' but can't remember who I made the bet with.
The Last Guardian is dead
Logically, the Xbox One should be DOA

But it won't be, it's MS' last chance at everything.
Well unlike Barca MS can simply throw unlimited amounts of money at it to turn the tide. The only reason why I think it might still fail, is not because of the PS4, DRM or Games but because the conquer the living room strategy seems out of touch and deeply flawed. Smart TVs, Entertainment Cloud Services, Tablets and IPTV are the future (just look at the rumoured tv stuff Intel is trying to do, it'll blow the Xbone out of the water).

KZ:SF, Watch Dogs, The Witness and Battlefield 4 for me. Might hold off on BF4 though

It's not apparently. If anything it increases my hope it's being ported to PS4.

Really? TGS hopefully
Even if it still exists, I worry for its mechanical quality.
operon, is it you I lost the avatar bet to? I remember it was a Liverpool fan.
Sainsburys want £20 to preorder with them

They seem to have done everything right so far with the PS4 except for the rather large blemish that is pay-to-multiplay. And keeping 2 too many cards up their sleeve at the conference.
Wonder if the pay-to-multiplay stuff is subsidizing them selling the console at a loss

The stuff they do in that surgery sounds like some crazy futuristic shit:
"Badstuber verzichtet allerdings auf die in den USA übliche Praxis, sich das Kreuzband eines Toten einsetzen zu lassen. Nach Rücksprache mit Bayern-Mannschaftsarzt Dr. Hans-Wilhelm Müller-Wohlfahrt wird Steadman daher einen Teil der Patellasehne aus Badstubers linkem Knie entfernen und anstelle des Kreuzbandes ins rechte einsetzen."
I won't translate that because it's fucking hard to lol. Basically they are replacing his ligaments with a fibre from his other knee. If that shit works, that's pretty damn awesome. But that surely can't work that well, right? With a professional footballer's stress, I don't see that lasting until age 34.
If he and Papa don't get to play anymore, I would really a tear in the eye.
Would not expect such news from a football thread. Has it been clarified if the hospital staff intended to grow ligament cells out of a sample, or if they plainly removed some stuff from his body to put it elsewhere ?
OK, Wahrscheinlichkeit of the former drops.
that's actually what you normally do.

18 months rehab. holy shit

Well I have no idea about that. Just sounded like that's something special in that article.
Edit: From the Wikipedia article that doesn't sound like the normal therapy after a ligament damage for football players. Badstuber's is really fucked. A shame but that doesn't sound like he'll be able to play top class football anymore to me.

What's the point of these two last matches? Marketing? Confidence-boosters? I can't imagine a huge number of lessons being learnt by them
Perfect accordance with the damaged tissue is one great reason why the auto-transplantation theme is so hot right now. It could virtually undo any trauma done to your body as long as you won't be in danger to die during the actual growth of the cells in laboratory.
That opens a can of worms when it comes to ethics though. The rich will be able to store their organs in advance to have them at disposal immediately in case of grave injury, resulting in a higher life expectation. A news that is a bit hard to stomach, especially when you get to see by yourself the proportion of asocial assholes are in their ranks.
I'M not sure if this is the normal therapy for football players or not but badstuber is seriously fucked.

Would end up being 6 or 5.5 assuming you get PS+
Did they say how much a month or whatever PS+ will be? If it's like 40 quid a year or something, that's sound.
Also, are any E3 trailers up on the PSN store yet? I can't check atm.

Sony did it.
Now to wait to see if I'll get one on launch...

Saw $5 quoted so aye about £40 a year probably.
Just avoid EA stuff. Their ways to make business have made me reluctant to purchase their games. A 50M$ bribe for an exclusive on X1 ? Microsoft is stupid to have accepted such a deal. We don't even know if the game will turn alright and yet a substantial investment was done in that regard. Wouldn't have it been smarter to use this money as a subsidy to lower the console's price instead ?
Piss off EA and Microsoft.
Its to get the Lions players familiar with each other. Lots of them wouldn't have played together before so it takes a few games for the players to work out their combinations and stuff.
Another problem is that regular league season is still ongoing so some of these teams will rest their best players for the league games instead of the Lions games.
And the best Australian players will be with the Australian team anyway. So they won't be playing in any of these warm up games.
