I was hoping people took the expression figuratively moreso than literally, but yeah you're right, it is text.

Another hypersensitive comment. I can read this site like a book.

HDMI as a standard will be around for a long time. 4K Ultra HDTVs (3840 x 2160 resolution) use HDMI.

I made sure to preface my statement as assumption but assuming a photo screenshot is simply a snapshot of one video frame, if you can't capture full 1080p video because of HDCP, it stands to reason you can't capture a full 1920x1080 pixel photo either.

I'm assuming this is due to HDCP that they have on their only HDMI connection. They've mentioned they are working on removing HDCP for games only, which is just what I need for video recording too. As I prefer recording videos in HD, right now it's limited to just 580p I believe.

I don't think it's slow. I know it's slow. I've have a high-end PC and have tried running games from USB 3.0 external drives. It is slow, at least for me.

External HDDs are a nice feature to have but I wouldn't want to be playing the games I play the most on them. USB 3.0 is sooo slow.

Just revisiting this old thread since I've finally got my hands on a PS4. You'll be happy to learn that the PS4 does play full audio from the controller! As well as just user-selectable voice channel. It also has the mic of course. Great little piece of tech.

Team Lamar!

I would say dual analog was one of the selling points for my decision to getting a Vita last year but I'm not so sure if millions of people felt the same way.

Neither do I but I also have no sympathy for the sales manager who I hear has been fired for this recorded incident.

Agreed. The wisecracks as he was leaving but within distance of hearing them...was that really necessary? Borderline trolling.

I think I'll still be going with the PS4 purchase first. I have more confidence their first party devs will utilize their system's power to its fullest. I like what I saw from Mark Cerny's technical presentation and the roadmap he layed out for the console.

Considering both consoles are successful then both companies are doing just fine with their developed, borrowed or stolen tech. We don't know what would have happened to the PSEye without the Move, so let's leave that at conjecture.

What's your point again? Everything from voice recognition, cameras, and motion control got their starts on computers dating back decades.

So if voice recognition is Microsoft's thing, then surely the camera on the Kinect is Sony's thing since it was first with the EyeToy/PSEye? I'll let the fact that SOCOM had voice recognition on the PS2 slip for a while.

True, but from what I've seen at the mainstream stores they take up a small percentage of retail shelf space. Besides it's harder for stores to negotiate terms with the myriad of PC publishers who sell games versus the big three that sell on consoles and take up the larger percentage of in-store real estate.

Off topic, but I'm afraid for the day, if it ever comes, that Steam goes out of business. That just means I'll need to buy a 1000 Exobyte hard drive and I'd be downloading my library 24x7 until they shut down.

The reason why I don't think Microsoft would have been able to offer deep discounts with their original specs is because they still planned to sell their games at retail stores. If I remember correctly, the reason why downloadable games are expensive on consoles is because retail stores do not want to compete with…

Great Humble Bundle and I'm glad they've added in more charities to donate to, one of them being my preferred charity. Amazingly, no option to donate to the developers. Thanks EA, and I don't mean that sarcastically.
