Hasta La Gadget!

You might have already pre-ordered your fancy new Xbox One or PlayStation 4 console, but seeing as how the contents only contain a certain number of controllers, you might want a few more for when you have a lot of friends over for game night. Luckily, neither Microsoft nor Sony want you to be short on controllers come launch day, so they’ve opened up pre-orders for purchasing individual controllers.

With that, we now know the price of both the Xbox One controller and the PS4 DualShock 4 controller. Both are priced at $60, which is the same price that you pay for a single game. Furthermore, Microsoft has also revealed pricing for other accessories as well, including the Xbox One headset.

The headset will cost $25, while the Play and Charge kit for the Xbox One controller will cost $25 as well. You can also grab both a controller and a Play and Charge kit in a bundle for $75, which will save you $10 compared to if you bought the two items separately.

All of these items are available for pre-order on Amazon, or you can visit GameStop, Best Buy, or a Microsoft Store (for Xbox One items) to reserve your own units for launch day. If you’re not aware, the PS4 console does come with a headset, so if you’re thinking about going with the Xbox One, be aware that you’ll have to get the headset separately.

The Microsoft Store also is listing a “Day One” 12-month Xbox Live membership for $60, which is the same price it is currently on the Xbox 360. We’ve heard in the past that Microsoft was changing the system up slightly, but price wasn’t yet disclosed. It seems that it’ll cost the same amount as previously for the time being. There’s also no sign of a family sharing package yet, but we’ll probably hear about that soon.

With the launch of a new generation of video game consoles comes the assumption the latest and greatest are also going to be the biggest. Many gamers already believe both the Xbox One and PlayStation 4 will be huge eyesores in their living room, dorm or bedroom, but Sony has taken it upon themselves to do a bit of comparing between the launch version of the PlayStation 4 and the launch version of the PlayStation 3.

It’s not the most in-depth bit of photography you’ll see today, but for those of you looking to see the PlayStation 4 as it sits in the hands of developers across the planet this summer, this may well be the best you’re going to get. What we’re looking at below (below the first image, that is) is a “leaked” image of the PlayStation 4′s front – or back – not that it matters – as photographed by an intrepid attendee of either Jimmy Fallon‘s showing of said device or E3 2013.

Now we just need to bust open a cabinet at SDCC and we’ll see if they all match! These developer units use the most basic of basics for their outer casing, showing LED lights for on-states and big ol’ bumpers here and there so no drops can harm it. Not that you’ll be wanting to explain to Sony how you dropped your early edition of the PlayStation 4, mind you, but it does seem more hardcore than your average built-it-yourself PC.

Below you’re seeing the image “leaked” today via Gizmodo with a couple different units complete with high-tech tape telling their contents. Above you’re seeing the developer unit shown back in February which was originally only given attention due to its inclusion of the new dual-shock controller. Always remember to look at the whole image!

And for those of you that want to see the final PlayStation 4 hardware – at least as far as Sony’s shared thus far – there’s this sharp piece of work right here. We’ve had our own close-up look at the PlayStation 4 more than once, complete with toggle-less lights and edges so sharp they’ll cut your face open. Make sure you stay tuned as we see how this device fares a the biggest comic convention of the year!
