HDD - For these are thinking SSD like me the PS4 needs at least 160GB models.
What type of hard drive does PS4 use?
PS4 is equipped with a 5400 RPM SATA II hard drive. Users can choose to install a new hard drive so long as it complies with these standards, is no thicker than 9.5mm, and is larger than 160GB.

So they'll launch in 3 major regions in 2013 and in 2 more in 2014, huh?
A couple of big weeks of sales incoming.
Great thread by the way, as always ;)
POWAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAARRRRRRRRRR.
How does PS4’s hardware performance advance beyond the PS3 system?
PS4 is capable of 10x the processing power of the PS3 system. The system features an optimized design featuring a unified 8GB of high-speed GDDR5 RAM, an eight core X86 CPU, and a powerful graphics processor. Generally speaking, PS4 will enable game developers to build larger, more detailed worlds than they could with the PS3 system. More realistic lighting models, more complex physics and particle effects, more varied and realistic character animations, sharper environment and object textures, higher screen resolutions (up to 1080p), higher frame rates (up to 60 frames per second), larger multiplayer matches and more will be possible thanks to PS4’s next-generation hardware.
What can you say about PS4’s graphics processing unit (GPU)?
PS4’s graphics processing unit (GPU) contains a unified array of 18 Compute Units, which collectively generate 1.84 teraflops of processing power that can freely be applied to graphics, simulation tasks, or a mixture of the two. PS4 is also equipped with 8 GB of unified system memory, easing game creation and increasing the richness of content achievable. High-speed GDDR5 is used for this memory, giving the system a total of 176 GB/second of bandwidth and providing a further boost to graphics performance.
The resolution change is more smart than PS3.
Do I need to “reset” my video settings if I change TVs, as on PS3?
This process will not be necessary for PS4.

I can't believe they figured that one out. It was a minor thing, but annoyed me as hell. Good job.
The new XMB is called "PlayStation Dynamic Menu"
Welcome PDM

Shame :-/ all those were pretty important, hope they will add them soon.
What is the first feature, though? First time I hear about it I think.
So it is happening...PS4 preorder.
