The highly anticipated Sony PlayStation 4 is here, and it’s $100 cheaper than its biggest rival, the Microsoft Xbox One. The PS4 will be available this holiday season; you can pre-order it now at amazon.com for $399. According to amazon, the Sony PS4 will be released on December 31, 2013.
Unlike the Xbox One, which is all about the “TV experience”, the Sony PS4 is a true gaming machine and you don’t even need to be connected to the internet to be able to play games. Oh, and don’t forget, you can actually sell your games after you’re done with and buy used games and play them on the PS4…take that Microsoft.

Sony dropped the hammer at E3. How did that Jack Tretton hold a straight face through all of that while knowing he was about to give MS the finger?
