Sony won't ban PS4 consoles that arrive early to customers

4.5
Microsoft made headlines this weekend when it would not allow the few people who got Xbox One consoles sent to them ahead of its November 22nd launch date to use the product online. Microsoft executive Albert Penello later said the temporary bans on these consoles was due to the fact that the company is still trying to stomp out the final bugs in the Xbox One before the launch.

But what if, for some reason, someone gets a PS4 ahead of the U.S. launch date of November 15th, or the European launch scheduled for November 29th? Sony's President of Worldwide Studios, Shuhei Yoshida, indicated in a Twitter post this weekend that the company won't ban any PS4 consoles that arrive to customers ahead of their launch dates.

Sony has already sent a PS4 to YouTube celebrity "Francis" to try out and the video seemed to indicate he was able to play games on the console. Sony has already announced that there will be a "day one" 300 MB software update for the console that will enable many of its features, including its ability to play Blu-ray movie discs.

Lavish Sony will do whatever it takes to make Microsoft look bad.
Funny thing is, Analyst still say Xbone will outsell the PS4.


Sonys trying to look better/nicer than MS by not banning anyone.

Dreams good guy sony,they wanna blame someone for people playing early talk to the stores that shipped it to them


i wonder why people like you are so upset about MS banning people that got it early.
They are going to get unbanned when the official release time hits.

AFrogAteMe OH MY GOD MUST CANCEL MY XBOX ONE PRE-ORDER NOW! ALL HAIL SONY!


lol exactly, what a desperate, lame, weak ploy for sony to try and get one more stab into microsoft before launch. I don't blame ms, the one doesn't come out for pretty much a month. that's way too early


They are doing whatever it takes to attempt to make their console appear better than the Xbone.

TitanFall are you bloody kidding me? Sony are getting desperate now, poor sony :/


Lol sony keeps 1-uping MS and MS can't defend themselves. the only defense they had was that 1080p Forza 5 trailer but lets be real who is going to buy that garbage?


Sony isn't 1 uping MS, lmfao.
Sony is so desperate to make the PS4 sound better by outlandish claims.

Forza isn't garbage.
That just shows how bias you are.

daRealRush I don't see why Microsoft bans the consoles that arrive early. I mean, it isn't the buyer's fault! It's the retailers/companies fault, for sending them out early!


They only banned them until official launch and then they got unbanned.
It's not a big deal.

TywinPosted:

KAQ Well they are just doing this because microsoft aren't :/ but it's good that they aren't banning people :)


Exactly.
They are going to do whatever it takes to throw microsoft under the bus and try to come out as the better company.
