PS4 Launch Date: November 15th

Today Sony announced the official release dates of the PlayStation 4 console: November 15 in North America and November 29 in Europe. From the article: "The system will be available for $399/€399/£349 in 32 countries by the end of the year, the company said. The date comes just days before the Black Friday post-Thanksgiving sales, but given the strong pre-order interest for the system already, the PS4 might be hard to find on store shelves in the days after it drops. Sony revealed that one million PS4 systems have already been pre-ordered worldwide. The company notably did not mention a release date or price point for the system's launch in its native Japan."

keep the air ducts clean and don't put anything on top of them and you should be OK

EU price includes VAT, US price doesn't include sales tax, which evens it somewhat.

Re:Hmmmm ...

The EU prices include the sales tax (VAT), which is a bit over 20% in most EU countries. That's why they look worse than they are...

You're still getting screwed, but not just by the seller ;).

2013 is really the break out year of IOS gaming
lots of strategy war games
xcom, the one that came out on the xbox this year is out for iOS
GTA is out for IOS
a space ship sim
MMO space fighting sims like the old wing commander

the ipad 4 had the power of an xbox 360 and apple is releasing a new version every year. unless you only play battlefield and call of duty, mobile gaming is where gaming is going.

You can set it up to automatically run updates at whatever time of day you want. It will turn on, update (including games) and then power itself back off after a period of inactivity. That is how I set mine and I never wait for updates anymore. That doesn't excuse the other behavior but it may help you with regards to updates.
