I pretty much have had just about every game console ther is. I even had a commodore 64. Think I still have is somewhere. I t was basically a keyboard with a spot in the back for you to stick a cartridge in. You could also program your own games with it.
^Apparently this is the new Playstation 4 controller prototype.
"Important Update: A trusted source has told IGN that this controller is real. However, our source notes that it's an early prototype. The controller, in other words, is likely to change between now and when the console launches.
Sony has responded to our inquiry to note that it "can't comment on rumors or speculation", its typical response. We'll almost certainly find out what the final controller looks like at the PlayStation event in NYC on February 20.
The original story is below.
We finally have an actual picture of what the PlayStation 4 controller looks like, at least in prototype form (see the above "Important Update" for more on that). The picture comes by way of Destructoid, which posted the picture taken from an unknown source.
There’s a lot of familiar stuff on the controller along with a litany of new and interesting features. For starters, the directional pad (d-pad) on the left seems to feature meatier, bulkier buttons that are put closer together than on DualShock 3. The face buttons on the right side of the controller seem standard.
The analog sticks look to be a bit further apart, though they remain level, unlike the Xbox 360 controller's unevenly placed sticks. However, the sticks themselves are concave, like the Xbox 360’s. PlayStation 3’s controller includes convex analog sticks.
The much-rumored touch pad – a la the back of PlayStation Vita – appears at the center of the controller. There’s a small, mystery button to the left of the pad, above and to the right of the d-pad. Is this the rumored share button? Or is it a start or select button, both conspicuously absent from this version of the controller?
Meanwhile, there’s a glowing “something” on the top of the controller – most likely PlayStation Move-related – as well as a PlayStation button seemingly identical to the one on the PS3 controller. Above the PlayStation button appears to be a speaker, and what looks to be an audio jack is underneath the controller, perhaps used to plug in a headset.
We've reached out to Sony for official comment and will update when we hear back."
Picked up Ni No Kuni. Anyone who is a fan of rpgs needs to play it. Pokemon mixed with final fantasy with the art done by the studio that did Spirited Away, Totoro and Castle in the Sky. Its amazing =P~
I've been lost in endless seas
My heart died long ago
I curse my failures as I fall from you
According to the Wall Street Journal, in addition to playing games on blu-ray discs, the next PlayStation console will also stream games over the Internet, including PS3 titles.
From their article:
The new technology, to be unveiled Wednesday along with the new console, will allow users to play games delivered over the Internet, these people said. The streaming service, they added, is designed to use current PlayStation 3 titles on the new console; the new device is also expected to play new games stored on optical discs.
This could conceivably make up for the lack of backwards compatibility, but only if there’s some way to verify past purchasers. If I have to rebuy all the games I physically own for PS3, well. That’s bust.
Also, another shot of the rumored PS4 controller has surfaced (seen in the header image), this time from Digital Foundry. What stands out to me in this shot is the headphone jack, which is at the bottom of the controller (as opposed to nowhere at all, like with Dualshock 3).

Pretty sure its safe to say that i dont want to play any more Borderlands games.
