they look like rubber controllers...like I should be able to throw them against the wall and they will bounce around instead of shattering. Not that I would know what happens when u smash a controller.

I don't think it was mentioned in this thread, but Walmart is also offering the 10% down pre-order deal for PS4s starting the 24th (Saturday).

Yoshida has confirmed that you will be able to commentate your Twitch stream while streaming through the PS4. I was a little worried about this, b/c while the ability to stream is awesome, I find non-commentary streams incredibly boring.

Depends on the game/media they're casting and who's doing it, IMO.

I EXPECT guys like Giant Bomb to talk over stuff because they've done it for years but it isn't so obnoxious that I can't hear the good stuff.

Then again, just mustering up the guts to broadcast live on the internet is enough to shy away most still these days.

On another note, I CAN'T WAIT... ...to see the number of Minecraft cast go UP when people start streaming from PS4.

I definitely agree with the "depends on who's doing it," but I don't ever stick around for streamers who don't talk with the chat.

PS4 Will Feature Cross-Platform Chat

After several years of complaints, cross-game chat will finally make its debut on the PlayStation 4. The feature will allow you to communicate with your friends at any time, enabling you to chat about the weather even if you’re enjoying completely different games. This functionality, however, will expand to the PlayStation Vita, too.

Responding to fan queries on Twitter, likeable Worldwide Studios president Shuhei Yoshida confirmed that the Party Chat feature will work across systems, meaning that you’ll be able to keep in touch with your buddies even if you’re playing on completely different consoles. The next generation is going to be glorious, isn’t it?

I wouldn't wish being a GS Manager on anybody.

Even if it were a new next-gen system and free gear...
