I totally enjoy PS Plus and it has been great since I got my PS3 in Jun 2010. I have so many free games over the years and the big sales discounts are great as well.
This is a must buy for me in August. I have all 3 systems and own the digital version for the PS3. I hear that it will be 36 times larger on the PS4 version. Awesome!!!
Hey, anyone see my Diamond Pickaxe laying around, dang Creepers taking it and doing their own digging and building. HEHE!!!
That was a really nice article! Great Job! I agree people need to see that Sony is trying to make the PS4 accessible to everyone, and if "Live from PlayStation" is any indication then we are in for more and more great stuff down the pipeline. SingStar combined with "Live from PlayStation" and also the Share Factory can be a major hit for Sony and the PS4. I expect the Share Factory to get more content added to it over the years and a ton of content to use when SingStar launched later this year.
Cheers!!!

P.S. Hey Sammy is it true that you were dancing around and singing well you watched that SingStar video. HAHA!!!
I doubt all get this, but it did sell over 26 million copies since the series started. Also they said that you can bring over songs you purchased in other versions over to the PS4 and also the ability to use mics from the PS3 (see comment section on PS Blog). I wouldn't be surprised if a third party makes a new mic for this game.
Listen, even though none of us seem that interested the series did sell very well and if the songs are less costly that Rock Band and Guitar Hero songs and if they add tons of social features it could do well. Just my thoughts.
Remember Sony is trying to bring a lot of variety to the PS4 and that is a good thing. Excuse as I get back to playing Sparkle 2 (Great game!), Killzone SF (Great Shooter!), and FFXIV ARR (Incredible MMO!).
Well guys I played the demo and I really enjoyed it and I'mdeciding if I should pick up now or wait until E3 when Sony might do a spend $50 get back $10 credit like they do a couple times a year. I have several games I hope will be on sale. I want to take advantage of any E3 sales going on this year.
However, I have to say I truly love the demo of this great game. The voice of the narrator, the music, the games cute map, the HD Shine to the graphics are calling to me as I type this. It's going to be tough I don't know if I can hold out for 3 weeks. I'm hoping some people will play the game on "Live from PlayStation" so I can watch it, so far no luck.
It amazes me that people are calling it a drought. Have they counted how many games are out for the PS4? I have, and as of today it's 71 games (if you include Freedom Cry, which is a standalone purchase). Every title is on the PS Store except Skylanders Swap Force. Xbox One is in the mid 40's I believe as of today. So all those drought people need to thank themselves they don't own a Xbox One, because it's a Ghost Town compared to the PS4.
Now I know that many of our PS4 titles on the PS Store are Indies, but it adds variety and that is a good thing. I hope Sony just keeps putting out indies, AA and AAA titles every month. Many consumers are enjoying the PS4 for that very reason, and of course because it's the best place to play.
Cheers!!!

Note: The 71 games is for NA, not sure how many in Europe or Asia.
I have to say, Naughty Dog is the best 1st party studio currently. Sony has many great studios and the rumor is they might be acquiring a few more this year or next year. I hope ND announces a June or July release for TLOU Remastered Edition.
This is probably my #1 game I've been waiting for to get on my PS4. I really believe this will be the hot game for years to come and will bring a lot of Xbox users over to Sony when they get a chance to play this game. This year I'm excited for Planetside 2, Destiny, H1Z1 (probably spring 2015 though), Sniper Elite 3, FIFA 15, Drifter (indie game), Ironclad Tactics (indie game), and Minecraft PS4 edition.
You right on with that. MS is desperate. They sold 80 plus million Xbox 360's and how many millions of those were people having to replace their broken one or buying the slimmer model which had fewer issues. Sony should just drop the price of the PS4, PS3, and Vita and squash MS once and for all.
WOW! MS is doing so many reversals. They are in panic mode!!! Anyone who doubts me has to ask then why they dropping the Kinect and trying to be at the same price as Sony. When this new Kinect-less system comes out Sony should just drop their price to $369.99 and then see how it plays out. All never buy a Xbox system again. MS is a horrible company and I wish they would just get out the console war. I rather it be Sony and Nintendo.
Hey Sammy, They announced a price of $7.99 and it's cross buy with the Vita Version as well (per PS Blog). Hopefully they will offer a slight discount for PS Plus members for the first two weeks.
Wouldn't be cool if they invite Jack Tretton to the stage and present him a plaque and allow the audience the chance to thank him for all he has done for Sony and video gaming.
I hope to see Crash be announced as a Sony IP again. Activision and Sony get along very well and I heard that all mention of Crash on their website has been removed a few months ago so that could be a great sign. I also wish Sony could require Spyro as well.
If Sony pays for development then they should be allowed ownership if they so desired. Also remember Sony unlike MS give their developers great freedom and don't force them to keep making the same game over and over again (remember MS demanding Bungie only make Halo nothing else). Naughty Dog has total freedom and they will tell you that Sony never demanded them to keep making Uncharted games or Rachet and Clank. They allow total freedom and that is why their own developers are very happy to be owned by Sony.
I know the time for you is not good. However, I think it is smart strategically because it gives Sony a few hours to adjust their conference based on MS conference. I hope you can see that as a huge positive. It worked for Sony last year and I believe it will work again this year.
Imagine if MS announces a permanent price cut to $449.99 US, then Sony comes out in the evening an announces a permanent price cut to $379.99 or $369.99 US. That would be like "Boom". Also it would be smart to drop the price of the new Vita Slim to $149.99 (with only a 4GB card) and drop the price of the memory cards as well.
Cheers!!!

P.S. I hope they some news on Planetside 2, H1Z1, Everquest Next, and Little Big Planet Hub.
I'm looking forward to Minecraft on PS4 and Vita. I hope there is some type of cross buy and cross save. Also I heard rumor that you can port your creations from PS3 to the PS4?? Please correct me if I'm wrong.
You forgot that PS4 has several more games coming very soon:
Planetside 2 (Halo Killer). This game is going to rock the FPS world when it comes to the PS4. It's already the best FPS on PC. It will probably be released this Summer or early Fall.
War Thunder. This game is huge on PC and PS4 Europe. Rumor is this game could release as early as May or June. Boom!!!
Everquest Next. Perhaps Winter 14 or Spring 15. This will do quite well.
H1Z1. This game is already starting it's Beta testing in May on PC. It could land on the PS4 Winter 14.
Little Big Planet Hub. Probably Fall or Winter 14, perhaps Spring 15. This game has a large fan base. Heck they keep coming out with new Little Big Planet 2 stuff every month.
Sony has a lot of games being made we have just seen some of the great games coming to PS4.
Cheers!!!

P.S. All MS has that is remotely big this year is Halo 2 Anniversary and I believe another Fable game. Sony is bringing the beat down this year.
