Hasta La Gadget!

It’s almost time for the PlayStation 4 to arrive. With just a few minutes left before consoles go on sale on the east coast, you should definitely check out our in-depth review if you haven’t already. Once you’re through with that, take a peek after the break for a nine minute video dive into the system’s UI as Sony VP Eric Lempel shows off the system’s menus, store, live game broadcasting features, social feeds and much more. Sure it’s cutting the timing kind of close, but whether you’re still on the fence, waiting for a delivery or sticking it out in line outside a local retailer, this will give a good idea of what the system can offer. Once you’re done comparing it to Microsoft’s demonstration from last week (and downloading the day one patch and apps), check out the Sony launch event — the live stream starts at 11PM ET. The Ustream feed is embedded after the break, but you can also watch it on the PS3’s Live Events app, DirecTV, or Spike TV.

In a move that reminds us of the kid that leaked the first in the wild shots of the Xbox 360, YouTuber Jackson Carter has posted a two minute video claiming to show a working Xbox One. After flashing the console itself and a controller as proof, he focuses mostly on the UI, displaying its Windows 8-style tile layout. You can check out our detailed impressions of the console’s UI right here, but this will be the first opportunity most have had to see the system’s default menu — multitasking, Ryse beta, Kinect 2.0 and all — in motion. There’s no info on exactly where this console came from, but our friendly narrator mentions he can’t access other beta games just yet. While conspiracy theorists debate if this legitimate and/or intentional, everyone else can just take a peek at it embedded after the break.

Update: The original video has been pulled from YouTube, we’ve embedded a working version after the break.

The hologram interfaces Tony Stark uses in Iron Man are awesome, no doubt. But they also aren’t real. Yet. Elon Musk has been cooking up something very Stark-y, and he’s planning to show it off soon.
