Makes me glad I bought a new slim. Guess my mate could be right about the no BC.

Yeah the Japanese (and I think some other parts in Asia) believe the number 4 is associated with death or so I hear.
We'll probably see it being called Playstatiojn "Something" in Japan and PS4 everywhere else but to prevent confusion they'll just probably call it something else totally for all regions.
I read it somewhere else before like in Japan they have no doors with the number 4 o.o.

This is just a compilation of rumoured details and educated guesses. I call bullshit.
Bet with Turkish 1 month sig control: He wins if Playstation All Stars: BR sells more than 5m, I win if it doesn't. I won.
Bet with Conegamer for 1 month sig control: He wins if Orbis/Durango have 3GB of RAM or less, I win if both have more than 3GB. I won.
Bet with man-bear-pig for 1 month avatar control: He wins if Vita sells less than 6.5M in 2013, I win if it sells more.
Bet with MARCUSDJACKSON for 1 month sig control: I win if there is an official price cut for Vita before E3 2013. He wins if there is a price cut at E3. If there is no pricecut until after E3 we both lose.

New PS4 details from PSM3 Magazine:
http://www.neogaf.com/forum/showthread.php?t=500106
Amazing graphics, around 450 euros (500 US$) , no BC comp with ps3 games, no used games-online pass-protection system, "in-game" ads ( AKA DORITOS AND MNT DEW ), no ps4 name prob playstation orbis or something else because 4 in japanese is prunounced like the word "death", paid premium service PlayStation Plus, PS4 should be shipped with a PS Move, Games need to be registered to PlayStation Network account.
etc etc link to read the rest

no used games-online pass-protection system
and
Games need to be registered to PlayStation Network account
So no Online Passes but complete devaluation of a registered game towards any potential second hand buyer.
Edit: Also, concerning the 4 means death thing. I was born on 4/14/1984

Ongoing bet with think-man: He wins if MH4 releases in any shape or form on PSV in 2013, I win if it doesn't.

lol didn't know that but I know about the number 13. they don't have that number in the elevators. you just skip it its like that floor of the building is in another dimension and you can only enter it by opening a portal which leads to a one floor building in the 13th which floats in the sky because all other numbers in that dimension are cursed numbers
