E3 2013: PS4 online multiplayer requires PS Plus

Existing PlayStation Plus members – or even those who sign up from here on out – will find their subscription extended to PS Vita, PS3 and PS4. The PS4 launches Holiday 2013 for $399.

KarmaRambo This is a big step for Sony in my opinion.

This has always been something Sony had over Microsoft, and now that this is gone, the Sony fanboys will need to find a new thing to celebrate. The always-online and DRM issues won't last for that long, Microsoft will probably prepare an announcement to change things.



PS4 has better technical specs. And have fun being stalked by a ubiquitous kinect.


And here we can observe a Sony fanboy in his natural habitat.

The specs really don't mean anything in this day and age, each system will have it's weak points, did you even watch the Sony press conference yesterday? Bungie's new game, Destiny, began to freeze up on the PS4, you can't really talk about specs until you've played the systems, bro.

Also, please do your research, Microsoft have already said you can turn Kinect 2.0 off, you have a switch on your wall, flick it, and the Xbox is no longer in standby.


The games will freeze and lag because they are not completely finished, I can talk about specs before I play it btw. I know that a Ferrari is faster than a Ford Focus, but I haven't ever drove a Ferrari though.

That's a completely different thing, lots of other people have driven Ferrari's whereas not many people have played PS4


Lets just be honest, PS4 will be the better console, and if your saying here is another sony fanboy, your wrong, i've always hated on sony, always owned a xbox, even bought a jtag etc, but the xboxone looks sh*t. PS4 will be the better console.


Ok, you are all idiots, the consoles haven't even released and you are saying one is DEFINITELY going to be the better console. How 'bout you shut up and wait before spouting ******** on specs. Go build a PC and actually learn the **** what you guys are talking about.


why tha **** does it even matter. get a life, ****

IgnorantChildren Sony fanboys before PS4: Lololol PS3 > 360 we get free online only idiots would pay to play a game online.

After the PS4: Oh it's okay, we get free things.

Hypocrisy at its finest.


Here's the thing. Most of us already pay for PSN+ anyways. And we get way more stuff for paying than gold members on Xbox. Plus it's $50 a year compared to Xbox with 1 year costing $60.


I have never paid 60 dollars for Live... There are sales in the summer that reduce it to 30. Plus I think it's like 45 dollars now at gamestop. You can order one on Amazon for 46 dollars. Get your facts straight. Anyway you get more things? Like an online system that barely lets you connect to friends and can't talk with them playing a different game. Yes I have PS3 and I have to say it has a terrible online system. Stopped paying for it a long time ago. So yay you get old free games that I already bought when they came out usually. Definitely taking the better online experience over that.

Seriously?


I used to be play station for many years and words cannot describe how mess is Sony. I wish I could keep buy play station. Their Oline is messed up, hacked and stole credit more than twice, it's slow and I don't like the design. I have to move to Xbox one. I will never go back to play station, the Japanese company thing...

Then you must of get a defective PS3, because I have never experienced any of the problems you have stated.


You never had any problem when PSN went down for over a month? That's weird, didnt know the service stayed up for some people, you must be special.
