Just a few things to clear up:

PS+ is cheaper if you buy yearly ($50) unless you purchase the family plan for Xbox Live (4 accounts for $100; otherwise $60 per account). Ro was right about PS+ not being required for any social media or audio/video streaming services, but it will also not be required for free-to-play games unless otherwise decided by the publisher.

The PS4's GPU is 50% more powerful, the video card is over 30% more powerful, but the RAM difference is negligible. The PS4 has a bandwidth of 176 GB/s. The Xbox has what equates to 168 GB/s (if you count the SRAM). Overall, I doubt 3rd party developers will take advantage of the extra power the PS4 will have. Same as last gen.

Sony also seems to have more indie support.

Both Microsoft and Sony ran some games on PCs. It's common practice.

So 4k gaming won't be a thing for us plebeians for quite some time. Not that I really care; 1080p is more than pretty enough for me. Just thought the numbers were interesting.

Ratchet & Clank: Into The Nexus Announcement Trailer

So fucking hyped for this. Not sure if it'll be on the PS3, PS4 or both...

Oh, and Ratchet and Clank (and Captain Qwark) are getting their own movie too!

All the evidence points to the Summer sale starting today at 10 AM PST.

-Thursday as always.
-The midweek deals normally don't end at 10 AM PST Thursday, but both of this week's do.
-Games supposedly don't come out on Steam during the sales. None are coming out until the 23rd. (Civilization V's new expansion pack still should for the Eurofriends; that would be unfair)
-Apparently e-mails have gone out confirming it will.

So yeah. It's happening. Prepare your wallets, good sirs.

Well, considering I can't even access Steam right now, I would assume something is happening.

EDIT: Yeah, got to see the front page. The summer sale has started.

i'm actually gonna go ahead and ignore this sale. i have too many games to play as it is and i don't have very much money to spend so it's not worth it.

...seeing left 4 dead 2 for five dollars and choosing to walk away pains me

It's almost hard ignoring Bioshock Infinite at $30, but I have more than enough to keep me busy until it hits $30 or so for good, so...

Plus $30 can go very far. There's a Sonic collection for $15, ~50 Sega Genesis games for $5, this week's Humble Bundle, etc. Idk if I'll get all that (or any of that, for that matter), but point is, I can get a lot more for the same amount of money.

EDIT: I leave you guys this.

I think I just want Runner 2 and Mirror's Edge. Mirror's Edge will definitely be $5 (or lower) sometime this sale, and Runner 2 is only 33% off right now at $10 so I'm guessing it could go down to $7.49 or $5 too. If there's a Bit.Trip bundle, I might just get that. I thought Runner was fun, and it's the only one I own.

Captain Olimar has been confirmed to return in SSB4, and the amount of fucks anyone gives is at an all time low. Also, I don't remember if he had any in Brawl, but he will have white Pikmin as well.

EDIT: Capcom lays off employees, including Christian "We Care About Our Western Audiences, That's Why I'm Going to Troll You With Promises of Future Announcements That Result in Nothing Coming to the West" Svensson.

I'd wager that the amount of fucks given over Olimar returning is probably negative.

I voted for Mirror's Edge to be on sale tomorrow for like €3.50 or something, so yeah...cheap. It's already cheap, though.
I'll definitely pick it up if it goes on some super sale.

And when I saw that Olimar was returning to SSB4 I cared so little I didn't do anything.

Olimar is my main in Brawl and while I didn't expect him to leave I'm certainly happy he's back.
