I just can't believe the pricing! 400USD?!
The next Uncharted title is exclusive to the PS4 woot! And used titles work as usual. Pure win!
Looks like Sony ate MS for breakfast, lunch and dinner!
For online play PS+ subscription a must. $50 but as you already know so much better than Xbox Live in terms of Free/discounted content. I cancelled my Xbox subscription last week.[DOUBLEPOST=1370925058][/DOUBLEPOST]
Already looking for a price cut ?
Hope the Rupee starts feeling well again. 58 for a dollar!
That's still okay dude considering the number of free titles Sony gives its users. I am not much into MP so I wouldn't need one anyway.
It doesn't have native backward compatibility i.e. pop in a PS3 disc and the game works type. A cloud support was planned by Sony but no information of that as yet.

Its an absolute bargain mate. We will be getting games like drive club in the first damn year itself!
This is like less than 5$ a month. Ridiculously cheap to improve the only place where sony lags.
30 k is too low for a start . Can see it being 35 k keeping in mind the current euro conversion cost and adding all the extra costs.
You get a next gen console at the price of a tablet. Decent price.

You don't need Eye to play games. You don't need PSN to play single player, which most play anyway. Moreover, PSN pays itself over many times by the time you are finished with the subscription.
With Xbox One, you have to authenticate your game every 24hrs. If your net connection is down (which we Indians are well familiar with), you can't even play the game you've bought.
PS4 is the only console that makes sense to buy in India. Maybe in first world countries, where they have excellent back-end infrastructure, the always-on DRM may not be such a hindrance. The few advantages might sway users to Xbox One over PS4, but definitely not in India. We trade many games amongst ourselves, and even depend on selling the already-played games to fund our next. With Xbox One, you can't do that either.
So, which exactly is cheaper? Even if PS4 comes to $600, it would still hold more value than Xbox One.
You don't need the PS+ subscription nor the eye to play the regular titles.
EDIT: blkr ninja'ed!
But the server costs are there, and the service has power/bandwidth requirements.
You may argue saying that we can play games online from one time purchase, but PS+ offers more lot than just online play.
Almost all modern multiplayer gaming is P2P. Server costs are no justification for a paywall for multiplayer.
Even if you consider a 5 year life span for consoles and you find PS+ and Xbox Live for a generous 50% discount, that is an added $150 for the console. $550 is a lot more than $400
PS4 is not region locked, all games can be exchanged, PSN gives you many free games. SO its done deal! PS4 wins!
