Oh, and that shitty iphone app doesn't even work. Every time you sign into PSN, it kicks you out of the app then asks you to sign in again when it boots back up. Utterly worthless

Lego Marvel Super Heroes isn't exactly a masterpiece. Like every Lego game I've played it is very sloppily designed, but it's at least FUN, which Knack hasn't been so far.
I was debating getting Knack, but its got so many mixed reviews from critics and gamers alike I think I'll just wait until it gets cheaper. Really disappointed in it cause it looked fun. :(

Hard to warrant a PS4 over a PS3 for someone who has neither though, if they haven't played much of the previous generation. Scores of great games out there for cheap.
Barely looked better than the PS3 games to me. But then again this is a launch cross-generation title, so what did I expect?

I do agree, but they are young kids. I know that for them having the latest thing is imposrtant (bragging rights with friends ect.), plus they won't be able to convince their parents to get them another console in 2-3 years when the PS3 will not be getting any newer games, so I thought it was best for them to buy a PS4. I of course am personally VERY satisfied with staying a PS3 gamer for at least 2 more years.

Whoever said Pupteer should be released on PS4 , I have a very good feeling that as we wait a lot of the PS3 library will make the jump to the PS4 . I can be wrong but I think the ps4 compared to the ps3 is more powerful than ps3 compared to ps2, meaning that it will be even easier to release ps3 games on it.

While I do not understand CPU architectural differences between Power PC and Intel , I know that a modern PC can emulate ps2/dreamcast/psx/SNES games so I do not see why the PS4 will not be able to do it. Let us not forget the streaming services they promised that is similar to OnLive.

I would buy a ps4 because prices difference between it and ps3 is small, but all the great games are on ps3 (especially psn) and for lower prices so I will stick with that.(I still didn't get a ps3)

Sorry but you are wrong mate :/. Not only is the leap in graphics much smaller this generation (diminishing returns and whatnot), but the PS3 also has REALLY stupid architecture which would be VERY hard to emulate with software. Specially that CELL chip

Anybody know why the PS4 Camera is going for $120 + on ebay/Amazon? Its also sold out at Gamestop/Walmart/Best Buy/Target. Why? No games really utilize it except Just Dance 2014. I bought one just cause I wanted to try out the voice commands for NBA 2K14 and hopefully that newer games will utilize it more.

The cell chip wasn't a stupid design idea, but separating the main RAM from VRAM was. Especially since Sony already knew the 360 had unified RAM, I can't understand it. It caused a lot of problems for ports down the road.

I played most of what I wanted to on the PS3 library. I am enjoying new PS4 games.
