Its dumb that admins closed the PS4 and X1 threads. Both threads were actually pretty civil and contained good conversation.

PS4 components reportedly start shipping in June

The upstream supply chain reportedly has already started shipping orders for the PlayStation 4 (PS4) in June, and volumes may reach one million units per month by September for the year-end holidays. Meanwhile, volume shipments for Microsoft's Xbox One are expected to start in the third quarter, according to sources from the upstream supply chain.

The PS4 reportedly is manufactured by Foxconn Electronics (Hon Hai Precision Industry) and the Xbox One by Pegatron Technology, while their components are supplied by Lite-On IT, Lite-On Technology, Foxlink, Asia Optical, Kinko Optical, Newmax, Foxconn Technology, Coxon, Nishoku, Elite Advanced Laser, Tong Hsing Electronic Industries, Adda, Delta Electronics, Chicony Electronics and Neng Tyi, the sources said. However, Sony and Foxconn declined to comment about the rumors.

Not surprised. PS4 components are fairly standard. MS is the one with the more exotic system. Sucks to suck to have chosen DDR3 and ESRAM intead. Sony created a simpler, more powerful, and more cost efficient system with better component yields.

I just finished House of Cards season 1 on Netflix. Kevin Spacey is a boss. Amazing show, so happy season 2 has been announced.

I think those of you that believe the first iteration of next-gen Madden will be as good as or better than the 360 version are fucking nuts.

You talk as if this past years Madden was amazing.

Also, as I've said a million times, PastaPadre tweeted a while back that the next gen versions were focusing on a more sim game, while the current gen was going for more ballhawk/heat seeking tackles.

EA's also said countless times that they are prepared this time, unlike the previous gen. BELIEVE.

Isn't one of the ex MLB The Show guys heading the next-gen effort of Madden? I think he left Sony San Diego a couple of years ago to take the job.

Give me The Show's attention to detail in Madden combined with EA's superior net code and we may finally have a winner on our hands.

Doesn't BF4 release on 10/29 as well?

It was the guy who helped turned the MLB series around. At one time that series was dead in the water. Hopefully he got rid of all the David Ortiz's.

Also, I saw a Madden 25 interview where they said they have an ex-lineman programming the trenches. They said the same exact shit when Madden 06 was coming out.

and madden 06 (xbox) was the greatest madden game ever :(
 
Madden 06 next-gen...Remember, the game you bought.

yes? what does that have to do with anything? we have been bamboozled in the past, maybe it's going to happen again! which is why i said our options are open!

i did check out some gameplay footage of next gen madden and it seemed to perform well enough. impressions will tell the story!

They look a lot more prepared this time around. The gameplay footage looked decent enough. I'm in 'see it to believe it' mode about the lineman being upgraded. I would need to see a whole game be played.

i like the downfield blocking here but until pasta or someone who knows about madden gets their hands on the final game we wont know if blocking is actually improved or another BS company line

Why does he keep running towards the sidelines when there's a wide open fucking hole there?! Bet you suction tackling is still in.

If owner mode is in, does that mean we can turn on coach firings for our franchise?

How long do you think these launch bundles will be up for on Amazon? I don't even know why I'm asking since I know the answer but I'm just trying to justify paying 450+ right now when I'm unemployed.

Amazon doesn't charge until it ships, so you it doesn't hurt you to place a preorder now to reserve it.
