So...you cant turn off the dualshock 4 light :/

it was confirmed on twitter!

this blue/red light is really annoying me . i hate those kind of lights, it's hurt my eyes and giving me an headach. 

this could be a big deal for me! dont know if i will buy the ps4, just beacuse of that damn flickering light.

Oh shit... I don't care.

The light looks awesome though

Well, that's the deal breaker right thar.

Don't look at it?? Doesn't it light up towards the tv?? Or am I missing something?

edit:  ^^^^ lol some kids try so hard. 

Biggest nitpick of the year award?

Uhhhh... it doesn't matter?
Although I assume it might hit the battery life a bit.

EDIT: It's an LED, so even that's not an issue.

....yep, I knew something was going to come up that people were going to cry about thats not a big deal. Called it.

1 hour battery life confirmed lmaoRR360DD

I doubt the battery life will be affected much but even if it was I am really glad they still don't have to use batteries for the controller. I remember playing on my roomates Xbox and the controller died and then he showed me where his stash of a bunch of batteries were. I haven't bought a battery since CD players were still new.

*cancels preorder*

Nah, though I can see it bothering some.

could be annoying if you are gaming in the dark, but gaming in the dark causes eye strain so its best to avoid it anyway.

pre-order CANCELLED!!!

fvck you Sony!!!:evil:

[QUOTE="Mr-Kutaragi"] These light does not take much power, insignificant. Luckily for gamer, ps4 does not use AA battery for controller. MS have adopt modern battery technology, I expect.charizard1605

They'll be on if a game actually supports those gimmicks (I know, a ridiculous concept with Sony but who knows)

The DS3 battery life was already pathetic compared to the 360s

Cover the light emitting spots with black tape.

Can't turn off a silly light that probably won't be noticed or can't turn off a mandatory $100 camera that's plugged directly into the NSA. 

It's hard to pick which is worse.

Other than draining battery, I don't see a problem

Did you know we've been able to charge the 360 controller while its in standby mode for years now?

Yeah go sit down. Sony late to the party as usual :lol:

The light looks awesome though

PS4 was obviously designed to function with PS Eye. Sony just removed it overnight to undercut Microsoft. ShoulderOfOrion

$ony shouldn't be forcing Fisher Price lighting on us like this. Make it optional ffs :?

I think I might be being thick here but won't Sony Flip flopping mean that they announced it come with the Eye and then changed there minds. Sort of life the DRM stuff on the Xbone?
