SegmentNext - It is always an interesting idea to be able to use your console from your PC; for the millions of Sony fans, PS4 remote play feature on their PC would be a good thing.
PS4 has an impressive lead in the console war. While that hasn’t translated to any gigantic gaps in third-party titles yet, it definitely could if the sales remain as lopsided as they have. If you going to buy the PS4 this year, and need to know Where does one begin with such a powerful, versatile machine?
Buy a 2TB hdd right away, you'll regret it after a year if you don't. Lol! I know I did. Now I should be good on space for the next 4 years.

You can get away with a 1TB drive which is what I bought when I first got my PS4 and as long as you delete games your no-longer playing (Watchdogs I'm looking at you) you will have more then enough space..
I have a ton of games and still have 400GB of free space left. So you can get by with a 1TB but you will need to delete stuff your not playing and watch your capture videos they take up a lot of space too..
But if you just want to never worry about deleting then get the 2TB but a 1TB is very manageable.
2TB is about 94 bucks in the en-closer on amazon and a 1TB is about 63 bucks.. (something to think about) You don't have to do it now if your not ready, but make sure your saving your game-saves to the cloud so when your ready it's not a nightmare..

How so? You can log in more than twice the amount of hours in GTA V than the whole Uncharted series. Fight me fanboys. GTA V is obviously a better value.
GTAV vs The entire Uncharted series?
3 games + 1 if you count Vita
I got bored of GTAV twice in about a month each time. The autoaim just kills the GTA Online experience, it takes 0 skill to kill someone in GTA. All you are doing is constantly hitting L2 or Left trigger to lock on to someone or cpu really quick. In uncharted you are solving puzzles having great shootouts and theres online too. I could still go back and play the Uncharted series and have fun.
GTAV is amazing vs Uncharted 3
but VS the entire Uncharted series I will take the Uncharted series.
those are great choices. but, if you buy one RIGHT NOW, first thing to do is pick up resogun!
The iLL Panel is a series where the iLL Gaming staff pick their brains over topics related to the game industry. Given the nature of our staff, it can end up being either a mosh pit of fanboy nerdgasms or a bitter fight usually accompanied with death threats and all-out war (ok, maybe we’re not that extreme).
In this panel we discuss whether Next Gen on Consoles has really achieved all that it was promised to be and what does the PC gaming audience think of it. Taking Part in this Panel are Tathagata, Sahil, Anikait, Ajay and Chirantan.
Reports in the Chinese media suggest that PS4 will launch at a lower price than Xbox One. Sony will launch the console at CNY 2,999 (£310, $488 USD). The base Xbox One costs CNY 3,699 (£382, $601 USD) while the Kinect version costs CNY 4,299 (£444, $699 USD).
Would be a smart move by Sony.
China is a huge u tapped market, there is a growing middle class that can now afford consoles butthat doesn't mean they can just spend spend spend so they will look at both consoles and go "well ps4 is cheaper therefore we will get ps4"
like they did in the west and everyone and their gran ma's got a ps4. if the ps4 dominates in china then this round of console war is truly over.
This round? It may finish the console war for good. If the Chinese people take to the Playstation ecosystem the way the rest of Asia or most of Europe does, that may get the majority of console Chinese gamers to go with Playstation long term
Maybe , maybe not. I have allways been more of a Sony person since the ps2.
However, all it takes is one or 2 very bad design/marketing choices and you're back at the bottom. Look at Nintendo...
Sony has the better hardware and it even has more games that are of interest to me, however Sony PSN is not that great and some of us still remembers Sony's rootkits, etc...
@Mikelarry: MS should have learned from the release in the west (price matters). They will have to do huge price cuts in China too. They didn't pay attention in class.
well no they played it smart... they've had a couple of months free to charge whatever, they've sold X amount of consoles at 388 dollars or whatever... then when sony announces it's release date and price all MS has to do is announce that the week before the X1 is dropping to 10 or 20 dollars less than the cost of a PS4
I still think they would have sold more at a lower price. I get what you are saying though. But also remember the flack MS got from early buyers about the price cuts/sales MS did.
"But also remember the flack MS got from early buyers about the price cuts/sales MS did"
Yeah but that's just entitled whining. Early adopters who actually have their heads screwed on right will know the dangers of buying consoles day one with regard to price as well as hardware stability.
Of course they would have sold more at a lower price. But how low did you want MS to go? They have to maximise the value of the products they are selling and if a respectable number of people are going to buy your console at a premium then of course you'd sell it at the highest price point possible.
If Sony undercut Xbox One, that's a reactionary pricing measure. Nothing precludes Microsoft from then doing the same upon release of the PS4, as jackanderson quite rightly states.
Basic business tactics really.
@septic aye basic business really
@viking early adopters might feel shafted but if people see MS going oh we're cheaper than PS4, have games good to go and we've these added functions that they don't then people will be curious... price cut has done wonders for them in the US it should do the same in China if they go down that line
They were the only console in the market, so naturally, they could charge whatever they wanted. When Sony comes to town, MS will surely drop their price to match.
I don't understand why the X1 is so expensive in China and I don't think it is smart for SMG/Microsoft to be charging more than the unlocked gray market version.
Seems decent and I hope it turns out good. However I think I would just stick to my PS TV for this personally.
Oh dear God please let this happen?!
Pretty cool though my setup doesnt really allow any practical use for it (my PC and PS4 are both connected to my main PC monitor setup) unless this app allows direct WIFI connection between PS4 and my laptop in which case, I could use it to connect to the TV (which is more of a casual setup with my older machines).
cool. i would have really needed this kind of thing 2 months ago.
i would love if sony would release an official windows client for this. pstv is ok if you have it connected to a 720p monitor over LAN. but on a 60" 1080p display it is seriously lacking.
