No it isn't, that's more than the PS3! Around £300 is the expected price.

No way! I always thought it was £450. I just sayed £150 quid! Awesome.
Why? PS3 was £425 and even with inflation the PS4 was never going to be more. The most expensive parts of the PS3 were the CELL and the Blu-Ray drive. The CELL is gone and BR drives are much, much cheaper now.
Obviously nobody knows the price but most reports are in agreement that it'll be in the £300-350 area.

There were five or so games which have trailers at the PS4 unveiling event and more coming (currently eight), though if all are going to be launch titles is debateable.
Sony's PS4 site Go on, have a look, all combined in one place for you.
As Simon and the others have said, the PS4 is likely to be around £300 or $450-$500.

Honorable Japanese businessman only care about product, but dishonorable American businessman only care about dollar (and bring much shame, presumably).
But it's probably not actually racism. It's more likely just the same old tired anti-Microsoft rant, this time packaged a bit differently.
You know, Sony were awfully lenient on PD throughout the PS3's life if Gran Turismo was the only series that Sony puts so much effort around selling systems with.
And I'd have to say that Metal Gear probably isn't being treated as the reason to buy a PS4 now (though it would be quite in the way of revisionist history to say that they weren't during the PS2 and PS3 generation) because there is little indication that future titles would remain Sony exclusive.

Rubbish. It's just describing Japanese company practices because of their culture. Culture is not race.
To get back on topic, I don't care what system GT6 is on as long as it comes out soon.

Oh, okay, so what's it called when one stereotypes based on culture instead of race?

"Culturism", obviously - if it were a real word.
It's the primary mode of discrimination in the UK, incidentally, because being an island or two and having been invaded so many times, we had quite the mixture of cultures, and therefore reasons to hate each other, well before these brown people started turning up and reading from a different book (with some of the same stories in as "our" good book has...) etc.
Clearly we need a better word for it, but plain old "discrimination" (or even "nationalism") doesn't have the kind of powerful connotation you need when you're trying to tell someone you don't like their morals, so "racism" is usually used instead.

Agreed. I find it's almost like Godwin's Law in its application at times (posted in another thread) which is why I questioned it...also in case I was missing something.
I'll go for cliche.
Anyway, back on topic
I see there is already a thread stating that NewEgg have put up a placeholder release date and platform. Of course, as a placeholder, that info is irrelevant but it is interesting that they feel it will be this year.

It's not racism, it's Americanism, there is a difference. The kind of Americanism expressed in the 80s yuppie make cash any way you can ideology. Stuff which used to be considered a bad thing, which has nothing to do with race. You're quite the card thrower, you know.
Anyhow...Well, won't be as fun. At least for some of us.
I know this is a solid debate point for Gran Turismo, because millions of us have some sort of emotional investment in the series from a decade or more with it. I was there from GT1 days, so I'm caught up in it as much as anyone else. We want Gran Turismo to be "our" Gran Turismo, or we feel some degree of disappointment. Especially with the power of the latest generation of consoles, PS4 in particular, the potential to realize our dream game is greater than ever.
GT5 laid a lot of groundwork in that regard. Weather and time of day transitions have been asked for a lot since the release of GT4. A track creator was too. Return of Race Modification, the ability to enhance our cars with bodykit mods up to race car standards, a Livery Editor, a proper damage implementation, a user Store, a Movie Maker... some of those things we got, some we only got a sniff of or a mention that they were considering it or just couldn't do.
A lot of this can easily be done on PS3, such as gameplay elements like more league oriented racing, Season and Career Mode, which don't require more resources, just some solid game design. A good damage build is work and requires resources, as do better graphics, which most likely necessitates some resource juggling in the game engine. And of course new cars and tracks which are up to the modeling team to sweat out for us. With the recent lack of news on any new content for GT5, it does seem that the team is focused on delivering that next entry in the franchise "soon."
I have great expectations for GT6, because the avalanche of criticism on GT5 probably hurt Kaz and the team. What we will get from them, we'll have to see, but they have a big laundry list of fan requests, and they have been working pretty hard to give us as much as they can. Even with all its flaws, the only game I've been playing over the past year, other than some Desert Combat with my bro, is GT5. And I've gone back to racing in it just about daily. In Arcade Mode no less, in which the only reward is the racing. Or discovering the joy of a new track in the Course Maker, which I finally got around to exploring.
E3 is just a few weeks away, and I expect some thunder from it.

I know I would. At least I won't have to worry about buying one game for a console... Hopefully GT6 is on PS3, I mean why not, everybody has one and others aren't ready to jump to the next generation. Sony are making a smart choice; they don't need one game to gain sells like MS is attempting with Forza, but instead will depend on the gamers who're interested in the PS4. 👍 to Sony for making such a choice IMO. It doesn't matter if GT6 isn't going on PS4 as long as everything is corrected and new interesting features are added.
Since I'm interested in the PS4 I'll be saving up money and purchase it for Christmas.

I personally find it quite interesting to see what PD's plans are with the next game in their franchise. But think about it though, imagine how silly PD would look when everybody on youtube is doing direct game comparisons between f5 on the new xbox and gt6 on the ps4 (as a ps3 title). Plus, sales would skyrocket for Sony and PD if gt6 was released as a bundle with the ps4's console launch during christmas.
Albeit gt6 is going to get sales no matter which console it's on, but think of this from a corporate side of view. Which route will make the most money? Honestly, that's what everything comes down to at the end of the day when you think about it. (sadly)

What are the odds that GT6 might actually end up on both? There's no official word obviously if that will happen but what if they could take that engine that was new with GT5 and refine it for the PS3 release while adding on a lot more features and utilizing that extra room offered to them for the PS4 release?
I'm no expert so I'm not gonna even pretend I know the solution here, but I think maybe it could be a huge opportunity to capatilize both on the customers who can't afford the new console while serving as one of the launch titles for the PS4. Again, all this is just a thought from me.
