Yeah, I'm just saying that because Sony didn't give us a month like Microsoft did. The point is that it will be released around the same time as the X1. Hell, I think it would be amusing -- and also complete and utter hell -- if both released on the same day!

Hoping its around the 20th

It's bigger, but it still has the joysticks in-line rather than in cross positions.

Welp hopefully some 3rd party company would make one similar to the xbox controller if this one still feels uncomfortable in the hand
 
Sony said November at their reveal back in FEB. You just didn't see the box yet.

As for the controller, the sticks are spaced wider with more space between the right analog and the face buttons. More tension too.

well all it says is that the "launch" edition is eligible for release-day delivery. that is the only difference. but it isn't automatically going to be at your doorstop that day, it's just eligible for that so you have to pay more for it.

i'd think the standard ones will still be arriving like the day after or so. here's the actual email...

From what I know of amazon in the past, if you have prime you get on the same day local stores can sell it. Otherwise you have to select 2 day shipping or 1 day shipping to get it day one.

I like Cross sticks as they feel more comfortable on the thumbs then side by side

I use an Xbox 360 controller on PC and was a day one adopter of the original Xbox in 2001 and bought a 360 on launch day. Still, I prefer the proximity of the right analog to the face buttons on a ps3 controller.
 
I prefer the 360 controller easily, but I don't hate the dual shock. I do always laugh when people say it is easier to use the 360 because of the stick placement, because I look at my hands and they are pretty similiar. I would think that setting them the same way on both sides of the controller wouldn't be something that should feel weird to me.

Xbox controller is garbage for fighting games. Pure absolute hot garbage.

any controller is garbage for fighters.

arcade stick ftw!

but i do agree that if i HAD to play on a controller, i probably would never play fighters on 360, strictly on ps3, even though ps3 controller sucks for fighters too.

Hmm I still need to figure out what game I want with the PS4. :$ I would really like to see a comparison with some of the third-party games like Assassin's Creed IV as I currently have it on pre-order at Gamestop, but I planned to change it to a next-gen console. I just have no idea which I would want it for as I've pre-ordered both! 🙁

Trying to figure this one out too. Watch Dogs is a must.. Driveclub will be free cause of PSN+.
 
I tore some shit up in Street Fighter II Turbo on a SNES controller.

In fact I was so attuned with that controller I played worse on an arcade stick. I can move my thumb faster than I can move my entire fore arm 3 times the distance.

snes was definitely the best pad for fighters imo too. the genesis 6 button one was decent but their dpad was whack.

i remember how awesome the 3rd party ascii snes controllers were back in the day. by far the best 3rd party controllers ever.
 
I will be getting Watch Dogs on launch and Drive Club but not only because it's free but it actually looks decent.

I also use a wired xbox 360 for PC and i got an Xbox in 2002 and an xbox 360 on launch day


Hopefully the new PS4 will be better
 
Another sweet kick in the pants, is if Sony released in October. I've read they aren't having yield issues like MS. Maybe they get a couple week lead time.

You probably would have loved the second generation Saturn gamepad. 6 face buttons like the Genesis 6 button pad, and the D-pad was vastly improved.

I wonder if there is anything good about being the first out when it is only a month between, especially since by then all the day one releases will be bought up on both systems.
 
So, I was looking at Amazon's page, and I was rather shocked when I saw "HDMI Cable" listed in the items included with the PS4. It seems so mundane, but they've never included HDMI cables before! 😱 😛

It would be a pointless if they didn't considering most ppl have HD Tv's now

I am kind of wondering what the difference between the free psn+ edition and the disk or digital download version. I remember it specifically called PSN+ edition or something.

not really surprising. ps3 and 360 both include standard a/v cables. hdmi is the standard for ps4.

including the mic is nice though.

We'll have to wait for more details. Driveclub is something I'll be getting one way or another anyways.
