15w ago - Following up on the
previous rumor of Sony's PlayStation 4 costing around $400, today VGLeaks (linked above) has shared some details on the PS4 / Orbis Dual Camera functionality from a recent
patent uncovered.
Below is the scoop, to quote: "When we unveiled Orbis, an enigmatic device called "Dual Camera" was also listed within the info.
- "Dual Camera" appears to be an evolutioned HD Eyetoy instead of a Kinect device, based on the features offered right now.
- It contains a pair of wide-angle cameras. Each camera offers a resolution of 1280 x 720 pixels (720p).
- Sound is processed by a 4 microphone array working at 48 Khz.
The device can perform some non gaming tasks such as:
- Recognize the user and log in the system
- Video chat
In the gaming field it supports head and hand tracking as new game inputs. Currently it's not clear if this device will support body tracking in the future as Kinect but it's almost sure that it will be bundled with every Orbis system."
Sent mine out on 5/06/13 and got back today 5/24/13. It took a bit longer than expected but I sent it out with OFW 4.31 and got it back with 3.55. Tha...
Yeah you're right. PS2 games were $50, PS3 games $60-70 & sometimes more. Now PS4 games $80-90 and the collector edition probably more than $200 lol.
and whats even stupider is i can make a us acc on my ps3 and buy the same psn game for half price in us store than eu store. sony has got to be the biggest dog act around.
nothing like knowing youre being ripped off. mmm thanks sony... more please but anyways i heard the ps4 may cost $1000 in aus at launch. i'll still buy it 1st day (or new xbox) but it really annoys me thinking aus are stupid or whatever excuse they give.
Now, PS2 games were like $50, PS3 games $60-70 and sometimes more lol. If PS4 games go higher than $70 I'm not going to bother with it at all and just build my self a gaming pc. At least i hope that they continue with the playstation plus features. Hoping that Sony also puts out something to stop the kiddos from playing matures games. Seriously...
