Wow that's pretty much a deal breaker. Pretty sure many people will be cancelling their pre-order now. How dare Sony. o_0

Nope. I keep all my games and consoles. Not sure why, because I never go back and play them. I just don't like parting with them especially for the chump change you get when selling.

I see plenty of those frame by frame gifs, but it's not like you can turn it off. If I have an option to click play or not to click play, half the time I just don't bother and choose not to click.

The gif is there playing, or attempting to play, whether I choose it to or not.

Yep, made me shit my pants...it's that scary. 0_o

Or maybe it's just not that impressive.

The thing with gifs is that you have no choice, it is running regardless and you can't help but watch it. With a video you actually have to click play then possibly wait for it to buffer. Sad I know, but every second counts these days.

I am excited for some new tech toys, but I have a feeling after the initial joy, there is going to be quite a letdown.

Not much in the way of games excites me for either console, but hopefully within six months things start to pick up.

If we have to "prove" that an AU board is needed, maybe we should all start spamming posts. The powers that be will be all like "Holy shit, we need to give them their own board, post count is off the charts". o_0

Images and videos seem to be much easier to add and upload and the reply button seems to be a good addition. But by far the best new feature, although not sure how long it will be allowed, is the ability to be able to write a certain swear word.

Fucking Awesome. ;)

So I take it that means an AU board is by no means a certainty, unless we give enough reason? Not sure if that will happen. I know many people aren't overly impressed with the recent change, myself included. Visiting this site has become somewhat of a chore. Much harder to find and interact with nearly everthing.

All I tend to do now is click on a few forums, search through all the posts because I can no longer go straight to posts unread, and usually leave thinking what a hassle.

I understand it's still all new and being worked on yada, yada, yada, but I can't even post an emoticon FFS. The site no longer has character.
