The obvious answer is the required Kinect, thats at LEAST a $100 right there. Plus that lil chunk of change they threw at the NFL might have played a small part in the cost.Â

I really expected SONY to come out throwing knockout punches. This was there E3 to lose, and so far at this exact point (Watch Dog MILLIONTH TIME show) theres nothing thats been announced/shown that screams BUY PS4 DAY ONE! Im really confused, but knowing SONY theyll have an ace up there sleeve. If not, then I really question the guys behind the PS4.Â
The $500 price point kinda stings cause my wife games with me so whatever console I purchase FIRST (meaning ill get both) ill be having to buy two of so yea. Although without beating a dead horse at this point going the Microsoft route might cause more issues since it seems currently id have to purchase two copies of single player centric titles. For instance I own ONE copy of tomb raider, farcry 3, bioshock infinite, and so forth. If I understand the current situation correctly if we both own a console she would not be able to play my personal copy on her XBOX without it causing some sort of issue. So at this point I dont know, even after the conference. Although I have to admit it was an entertaining show.Â
I am very excited to see what Microsoft has on hand to combat the somewhat lackluster reveal. I know a lot of people are bent out of shape currently about certain systems in place concerning games and such but all in all I am really hoping they come out tomorrow morning swinging and show off some must have games. Competition only benefits the consumer so if Microsoft can regain the gamers support it will only influence Sony in wanting to be better and such. Its a win win for gamers, although some people swear theyd like to see Microsoft burn to the ground...just...ugh.
Thanks so much for the quick response! Very detailed one at that even =D. Im now going to devour all the info and see what I actually understand, heh. I actually did look at that thread and it just completely confused me due to all the complexities of it. Ive been a console gamer most of my life im used to simply plugging a box in and putting a game in and off I go. This will be a big departure for me so im excited, im also tired of where console gaming is headed and im ready for a change!okay tc you want a pc for 600 bucks. easily done. coming right up here is your parts list. SECOND you need to go brush up on our official sticky on building a pc. it has literally a photographic guidebook with big fancy pictures. jsut for those who dun liek reading complex manuals (alternatively theres a pile of build video's on youtube they almost outnumber the "lets play" video's :P)

the system itself on the cpu and gpu level is well above the consoles we have now and will give next gen's early titles a serious run for their money. will it last two years without at least 1 upgrade, mm not likely. but she will handle any modern game at about 35-50fps on high/veryhigh or maximum @ 1080p (turn tressfx off all the time). not a bad bargain for only 600 bucks. and for those two free games. expect to play on high
