Honestly, all these "entertainment" features they are offering aren't that great. I can watch netflix on my computer, I can watch TV on my TV, etc.

If you want to get a PS4 with a eyetoy how much is it going to cost you?

Its not the price that they messed up, its the restrictions as well.

I mean it's not that high of a price but to the average consumer espically in this economy will make a big difference in sales.

Resolute But man $500........

That $100 increase more than PS4 is kinda important to the average customer. They will most likely get the game console that is cheaper than the other.


I got my PS3 for $600, and so did a lot of other people.

jreppt Sorry $499 is not fair. Maybe if they had a model that didn't included stupid kinect I would buy that but having to pay extra for something I don't want or going to use is not fair. IMO.


I don't think it's that stupid, earlier today I was going upstairs and yelled " Xbox play Battlefield 3 " , then, after that I went to do something then came back and it was ready for me! I also use it when I am watching Netflix, it is very useful! You just have to be willing to open your mouth. Sadly, to some people, they will say that is " work " and that it is " tiring ".


the xbox one actually requires the Kinect. that's why it is part of the bundle.
