TwoSeven:I'm just assuming this but I imagine that the game binaries aren't exactly uploaded to the cloud. There will be a server with all game binaries on it and you just tap into it when needed. So you'd likely just download them if you don't have a disc handy. Game data shouldn't be very substantial but game recordings might take up some data, sure.billgates: Entire game binaries, game data, your recorded in game footage as well.
If that is the case, how will it affect peoples internet bills. I can imagine people on mobile or low data caps not being especially happy if they get charged for that kind of traffic.
NonprayingMantis: at the risk of turning this into a fanboi shout fest, sony just announced that there will be no restrictions on sharing games with friends, selling them second hand, or anything like that. they also said there is no online requirement for the PS4, no need to 'check in' or similar.
I think Sony just won this generation of console wars before it has even begun

It was interesting to note that they appear to be moving to a paid multiplayer model. But as this is tied to PS+, its actually a model that may make fiscal sense to me. I don't play online often enough to justify paying for it on my 360, but PS+ on my PS3 makes a lot more sense, due to the instant game collection feature.

...and they also announced it would be $399 USD, $100 less than the XBOXone, so maybe $650 NZD?
they just dropped the mic.

Kingy: I saw a post on reddit showing PS4 games going upwards of $100USD on Amazon. Not many people happy with that.

Suggest we wait to see the price differential for games before we declare a winner

TwoSeven: To be honest I am not really interested in PS4 information, I am sure Sony will have a competitive package with appropriate pricing and I suspect there might be another thread for PS4 information :)
What I am interested in knowing about the Xbox is that once purchased what will my average running costs be?
