PlayStation Games Could Stream to PCs, TVs and Phones.
It would be so great to play PS3 games on PC... But with my internet speed it would be rather impossible for me to use this. :/

Are PS4s still sold out everywhere?

Destined_Fate · 2013-09-24, 13:20

First Day versions should be.

However there was a report that some PS4 are held back at launch so some ca walk into a store and just pick up a system.

Chaos2Frozen · 2013-09-24, 15:43

Hey, if it works for Xbox...

konart · 2013-09-25, 02:45

Kind of off-topic, but I just wanted to share how fabulous Amazon is.

They sent me two emails today.

The first one states that they've got some additional Lauch Edition PS4s and that my pre-order for Standart Edition has been upgraded to Launch Edition.

The second one tells me my order has been canceled as the seller is unable to ship Launch Edition to my address

Brilliant

Chaos2Frozen · 2013-09-25, 02:55

...That is kinda funny

konart · 2013-09-25, 04:21

I've contacted Amazon customer's service, here's the reply:

Quote:

Hello,

I'm so sorry to know that you "PlayStation 4: Launch Edition" was cancelled. I understand how disappointing it could be for you. That's definitely we don't want our customers to experience.

I've checked your order and found that it was cancelled due to system error. The item is eligible to ship to your address.

Since the order has already been cancelled, there's no option to create replacement order. I hope you understand my limitation.

I'd request you to please a new order. We'll happy to fulfill you order when the item will be available.

Please place a new order with Expedited International shipping and write us back with order number we'll waive off or refund the shipping charges of the order. I've provided the current listing for this item below:

*link goes here*

To help compensate for any inconvenience, I have issued a $15.00 promotional amount to your account, which will automatically apply the next time you order an item sold and shipped by Amazon.com.

Guess no pre-ordered PS4 for me D:

Newprimus · 2013-09-25, 07:52

Wow that is messed up. Does that happen often to people?

Destined_Fate · 2013-09-25, 16:27

Never have had an order mess up for me. So it must a rare thing.

Surprised you weren't given something for your troubles since you must make a new pre-order with the odds of it not going through because they're selling out everywhere.

Not even $10 towards a new purchase or something.

I was given $15 towards a new purchase (last line in the quote provided)

UPD: also, it seems kind of strange, as many other preorders were canceled (check out amazon forums for PS4) - it appears the do not send it outside of the US now.

Ar no Surge announced for PlayStation 3

Quote:

Gust is developing Ar no Surge, an RPG entry in its life simulation series Surge Concerto: Ciel no Surge, for PlayStation 3.

Dengeki PlayStation this week reveals the game will have town, field, and battle elements, and themes based around “confrontation from coexistence,” “bonds,” “the bonds between men and women,” and “bonds as friends.”

The game’s connection to Ciel no Surge and Ar Tonelico is still a mystery, but it appears to be set in the same universe as Ciel no Surge, but during a different time period.

Duo Maxwell · 2013-09-25, 23:33

Why is it in PS4 thread, though?

I love me some Ar tonelico, so this news is always a big plus.

China says it will lift ban on video game consoles

With a giant PS3 logo as the article's picture

Quote:

The Chinese government announced today that it will lift a longtime ban on sales of video game consoles, opening up the market to foreign companies in Shanghai's new free trade zone. China's State Council announced the decision in a statement issued Friday, saying foreign companies will be able to sell consoles across the entire country as long as they have established production and sales operations in the free trade zone. Each console will also have to be approved by China's Ministry of Culture before going on the market.

The Gaming Market is going to sky rocket with the official sells being listed in China now.

Duo Maxwell · 2013-09-27, 15:16

I don't know what's the point, though. The consoles are sold freely everywhere in China. Not really sure how will it affects the gaming screen in China, but I guess there won't be any difference.

Maybe, maybe not. While the Chinese market has the potential to be extremely lucrative, game consoles also face a lot of competition and challenges. It'll definitely be fascinating to see how what strategies the console manufacturers will use to deal with this new market, and whether this means that the rest of the world is going to be exposed to Chinese game developers. Interesting times indeed.

Who do you think will stand to benefit the most out of all this development? My money's on Tencent.

There's a big difference between being available on the grey market and having free access to the normal distribution and marketing channels. It doesn't mean that the game consoles will be able to find a lot of success in China, but at least they'll have a fighting chance now.
