Sony Won’t Ban PS4 Consoles That Ship Ahead Of Schedule

Sony Wont Ban PS4 Consoles That Ship Ahead Of Schedule

Its not entirely impossible for one of this year’s hotly anticipated products to ship ahead of schedule. Only recently we saw a few Xbox One consoles being delivered to customers ahead of the launch on November 22nd. While Christmas came early for those customers, Microsoft didn’t let the fun last too long as it temporarily banned those consoles. So what would Sony do if a PS4 was accidently shipped prior to its release date? It won’t ban the console, confirms Shuhei Yoshida, President of Worldwide Studios at Sony.

The PS4 launches November 15th in the U.S. and on November 29th in Europe. Yoshida confirmed through Twitter, in a response to a query, that Sony won’t ban any PS4 console that’s shipped ahead of schedule. So while this clarification has already been made, all anxious PS4 customers can now keep their fingers crossed and hope that their retailer slips up. Even if the console arrives early for someone, they’ll still have to install the 300MB “day one” software update to enable majority of the console’s features. If you’re waiting on a PS4 to prematurely ship so that at least an unboxing video can find its way online, don’t look any further, Sony has posted the mother of all PS4 unboxing videos already.

    Official PlayStation 4 unboxing handled delicately by Sony

    This week the folks at Sony are once again proving that they’ll not be letting the “firsts” of the PlayStation 4 presentation fall into the wrong hands with an original Official PS4 Unboxing video.

    Sony Xperia Z1s Spotted On Sony’s Global Website

    Sony Xperia Z1s Spotted On Sonys Global Website

    Last month, Sony unveiled its Xperia Z1 f in Japan, which is a smaller version of their Xperia Z1 that features much of the hardware included in that device. This is certainly a step in the right direction to what consumer electronics companies should be doing with their “mini” versions of popular devices, instead of throwing in specifications that aren’t quite up to par with the original device. The Xperia Z1 f may have just popped up yet again, this time being called the Xperia Z1s. (more…)

    Xbox One Won’t Initially Support 3D Blu-rays

    Xbox One Wont Initially Support 3D Blu rays

    November is finally here and enthusiastic gamers around the world are waiting on Microsoft to release its next generation console, the Xbox One. Much has already been written and read about the console, the hype has certainly not died down up till now. This is the first console from Microsoft to have a Blu-ray player built-in, but its going to be of no use to people who want to play 3D Blu-rays, at least initially. Microsoft has confirmed to CNET that at launch, the console is not going to support 3D Blu-ray disc playback.

    Though Microsoft hasn’t said if its never going to add this feature. There exists the possibility that support for 3D Blu-ray playback may be added in the future. Sony allows both 3D games and 3D Blu-ray movies on the PS3, but it hasn’t clarified as yet if the PS4 is able to do this as well. Sony’s official FAQ page for the PS4 says that the console is capable of supporting 3D games, but no such titles are available at launch. Its too soon to say how much time Microsoft will take before finally allowing the playback of 3D Blu-rays on the Xbox One. The Xbox One launches November 22nd in the U.S.

    Sony’s Music Video Recorder may well be the camera sleeper hit of the holidays.
