The PS4 has gyro typing for text input so you can just point at a letter instead of having to tab through every letter in between. In fact, that is what yosp was using at that event with him in the chair navigating the UI.

Tried out the PS4 at best buy this morning. Demo software is very buggy or slow or the unit was not working properly. Every time I quit a demo it'd take 5 minutes to get back to the coverflow menu.
Played FIFA and Knack. FIFA is FIFA. I wouldn't pay for it if you have it on PS3/Xbox. It is seriously the same damn game. I know everyone knows this already but was good to see it myself. EA are pathetic.
Knack was pretty cool. At first it looked horrible but then I stepped back a few feet and I thought it looked really good. Standing so close with these demo units really won't blow you away with the graphics but unfortunately because of the controller tether you can't really get a good idea while playing so close. So put the controller down and step back a few feet and you'll get a better view.
Knack did feel a bit sterile with the world environment but I'm hoping that's just the demo. I played on normal and it seemed very easy.
PS4 controller felt good. Took a bit of getting used to as it doest feel different than the Dualshock 3.
Also a woman and her daughter were behind me and asked which system to buy for their son and I said well it depends on the person but I'd go PS4 since it seems to be the general consensus. I said good luck getting one though if they didn't pre-order. Suggested maybe looking into the PS3 as well.

Maybe silly question but anyone know if Killzone or Battlefield are split screen? Or can I play on my TV while a friend uses a Vita?

No, it has a special connector that PS3 doesnt have.

ps4 camera uses a proprietary connector that ps3 doesn't have.

damn was hoping to get rid of the old move camera. I may buy the camera anyway as it seems like Cerny would want it that way

The PS3 move accessories will work with the PS4 eye but you must have the ps4 Camera

Yes you can, no word of what games support it yet. But Move is compatible with the PS4 Camera on ps4 and the Eyetoy 2 camera on PS3.

I think it's just that the guy's hands are shaking because a girl messaged him.The PS4 has gyro typing for text input so you can just point at a letter instead of having to tab through every letter in between.

Ghosts PS4 is currently ahead of Ghosts 360 (though obviously it will sell alot more on 360). I would not have guessed that a week after launch.

That's not better than the yosp video
Not even close. LOL. But to be fair, no unboxing video would be better than the yosp video.
So we now have confirmation that most 1st party reviews will go up at 6 AM Pacific.

I always worried on my PS3 that they would add an update which said what website you were browsing...
I don't need people knowing I watch Pretty Woman once a week as part of my self-organized religion.

Just need one more thing to make everything complete.
Oh, word is my store is getting approx. 120 (3 per box) tomorrow morning. There are about 100 pre orders. So only 20 available for walk ins.
That headset should be in every PS4 box instead of the cheap earbud...
Where did you get it?

It would be either NeoGAF or brazzers/youporn or redtube
Wednesday 6AM PST, 9AM EST. At least on IGN they are...

That looks great!
Gaf, If I attend the GameStop ticket thingy at 6pm without a preorder, Am I going to be CRUSHED by the employees since I didn't preorder?
