While yes this normally hold true for games and has been for over a decade, it doesn't hold true for consoles. Look back at the past couple generations and you will see release dates for consoles on every day of the week.

Then it is what it is, I don't see this console coming out any later then the 2nd week in November

If they make the home screen customizable that would be awesome, cause I'm not on Facebook or twitter or any social media so if I can remove those options or something to that affect

It'll be nice to make my our order to options we use more often or not

What about game saves?

If I can acces the ps3 game library will I be able to put my save data on a flash drive and move it over to the ps4? And what about add-on content? Will I have to download them all again after I get the game downloaded?

As long as the game developer didn't lock the saves, yes you will be able to simple save them to a USB drive and copy/paste them.

To my knowledge, add-on content can not be saved to a USB drive so you will need to download it all again.

I don't have PS+ but a friend told me that with it you can save your games and put them in an online memory bank? And it's like Sony has your saved games, so I don't see why you can't get PS+ on your PS3 save all your games to the online thing then open your account on the PS4 and when you play the games access your saves from that

And if that works I would think they can make an update for the add-content to work the same way

He's talking about Cloud, which isn't due out until next year. Even then, I've not heard anything about the PS3 having access to it. Even then, you would still have to save the saves onto the system so it wouldn't be much difference then just saving them to a USB.

The add-on content is already stored on your account. For them to work you would still need to install them onto the system.

He said it was similar to cloud but not it, I remember seeing it when they gave out that free 3 month subscription to PS+ after the PSN got hacked but I didn't pay any attention to it cause I wasn't keeping PS+

I don't know if you are still looking for a per-order but I was at best buy today and they said they are still taking them but only online, well that's the store near me I don't know if its them same by you

MikeMoach · 07-18-2013, 08:29 PM

If you go on your PS3 go to saved data utility (PS3) and it'll be the 1st option it's called online storage, you need to be a PS+ member to use it

It's like an online back up, and you can access it on any PS3 with your account, that's why I'm saying when you access the game library on the PS4 why can't I use my saves through this online storage without having to go crazy with a USB back and fourth on each system?

Mr_Draco · 07-19-2013, 04:57 AM

The PS3's online storage is only limited to 1 gig. Last time I checked, I have over 10 gigs of saves alone and growing.

Plus, for now, unless you purchase a digital version of the game your PS3 saves won't be any use. Gaikai (the online cloud based game library that we are talking about) won't be available til late next year and by then I'm sure they will already have a plan to make it simpler.
