I don't really understand why they need a PlayStation 4 - it's not like the PS3 and Xbox don't handle the resolutions of HD TVs and they're not going to support 4K for years.... Everything else is just software.

A mate found a pre order site. Selling it for �399. And Sony have confirmed you can play pre owned games on it.

Just to be clear by my understanding they have said something like "It can play pre-owned games", but have had to go back to marketing to find out exactly what that means, i.e. You can play but you need to pay �15 to unlock the game to play again.

I'd imagine there will be no firm announcement until Microsoft tell us about there console and how it will handle pre-owned games.

And bare in mind the original PS3 let you install linux on it and indeed they made abit of a song and dance about people using PS3's as server farms running other operating systems, something which they then removed as an option in a following update

The ability to unlock pre-owned games for a fee will be great.

Then people who bought games with always online DRM who cant play them because the 3rd largest software company in the world cant judge demand from pre-sales and provide servers to meet that demand can sell the game so other people cant play it also.
