As you know PS4 is moving to a paid online service with comparable features and price to Xbox live gold. You may also know that PS4 is launching with several Free to Play titles (Warframe, Blacklight and DC universe, With Planetside 2 slated for 2014).

What you may not know is that the free to play titles to not require the paid subscription, they are almost literally 'free to play'.

I thought this would be of interest to PS4 fans.

Feel free to use this thread for General PS4 discussion also, as the old thread is buried deep.

DCUO is already out and on the PS4

Yeah, that's what i said

Also making legacy titles available for download via Amazon and PSN store portals is one of the methods of delivery. The other, streaming, is coming in 2014, the business model for which has not been confirmed.

'I'm the Xbone, I cost $100 more, and also have no games. I also watch you sleep.'

We got our PS4 last Friday, my fiance is enjoying Killzone, Warframe, and Resogun quite a bit; especially with remote play.

We've still got out PS3 hooked up so I can play FFXIV & use our Media Server, but once those features are patched onto the PS4 we'll be putting the PS3 in the bedroom or something.

I'm hoping they'll have something funny and Orwellian when the XBone comes out myself. I keep being sorely tempted to link the White Guy Defense Force one but know better

Orwellian?! I prefer Krahulikan and Holkinsian...

Spoiler:

Though if I could make with the arts, I have a decent Xbone 1984 thing

Don't hate, if you can't afford the extra 100 dollars, go get a job

They are essentially the same system with minor differences. Just get which one you like better and be happy with it.

I have two xbox ones on pre-order but you don't see me hating on the PS4

On the bright side, part two of the console wars brack friday south park episode is on tonight

Back on topic about PLAYSTATION 4 INTERESTING NEWS

I was messing around with the controller at bestbuy, I kind of like the new weight to it.

How is "go get a job" in any way a good response to the fact that the Xbox one costs more?

He's just trying to fix the economy man, Hey America, Go get a job!

Seriously though, That was particularly stupid on That guys part, was that Phil Spencer or Don Mattrick? Almost as stupid as Larry 'Major Nelson' Hrib actually taking to twitter to condemn the 'Xbone' monicker, causing it to stick forever.

I was listening to the EpicBattleAxe Podcast and Brent is saying that the really cheap and nasty looking Mono headset you get free with ps4 is ridiculously good.

By "essentially the same" you of course mean "it has twice as much RAM and can run things at a higher native resolution than the XBone", right?

Never mind...

Hey, we don't see him hating, we are just reading his hate
