Sony seem to be one of the very few consumer electronics companies that actually give a shit about trying product design that is uniquely theirs.

Yes, that's the UI, I don't think it's bad.

so on a related note, vita ain't doing so hot - not as expected anyway. so they're cutting the price in japan to get it in the hands of more gamers. sounds great because two things are holding it back imo - being about $50 overpriced and lack of new games, for now. so at least one of those wishes will be granted to those north americans who have been putting it off right? wrongo. apparently the price cut stays in japan... bummer.
- my guess is it'll stay at $250cdn until this time next year at least, until they can see if the PS4 synergy boosts its sales, it just mightprophetone

$700?
- I think there will be a 400-450 model, and a 500-550 model.CygnusZero4
- They will NEVER try to sell a $600 console again.CygnusZero4
- yeah, prob $550 max, otherwise they'll get the gas face like beforeprophetone
- Can't see it being cheaper than £400 in UKpang

It also has very fast memory (GDDR5) that's the memory that graphics cards use, as far as I know there are no PC motherboards yet that use this memory.
I read that just the 8GB of this memory are going to add 150 dollars to the overall material costs.

Unless this Gaikai remote rendering thing is focused on either slow games or somehow magically rendering just the periphery of vision (something Valve have been talking about in relation to VR headsets) it just won't be that much of a sell.
Frankly, it really isn't a replacement for additional GPUage in and of itself.
Latency IS an issue for a lot of the sort of games people buy brand-spanking new consoles for.
Frankly, it strikes me that they're running out of ideas, so feel the need to gimmickify things.
I hope to be proven wrong.
