 I got a Sony PlayStation 5 here and it's a fat version (because there's a slim version now) with disc drive. I got this gaming console as a wedding gift from my wife.

Final Fantasy Type-0 Review

A Violent And Mature Final Fantasy

This is a high profile Final Fantasy title that didn't reach the Western shores because of next generation gaming device transition. It was released in Japan during the final mainstream years of Sony PSP and PSVita/PS4's impending release. So Square-Enix halted the game's already a work-in-progress English version till later notice.

PS4 Announced And What We Know So Far

PS4 (codenamed: Orbis) was announced February 20 during Sony's event. Lot of gameplay demoes are shown but the actual console is a no-show, only the controller, DualShock 4, is shown to the audience.

Here's what we know so far about this new console:
- PS4 is a powerful graphics console with top spec PC hardware
- Lot's of 3rd party support... as usual
- The new controller, while looks similar to the DualShock 3 have a touch pad similar to the PSVita and (maybe) will act as a Playstation Move
- PS4's UI looks like the new version of the Playstation Store and almost look similar to the Windows 8 Modern UI
- PS3 games retail or digital is not backwards compatible to the PS4... bummer
- PS4 will only support 4k resolution for photos and videos, not for games
- Playstation Move controller is compatible, but the DualShock 3 controller isn't
- Social integration
- Facebook-ish player profile
- Play and chat at the same time
- PS4 can save/stream gameplay videos to the internet
- The console learns your gaming likes like genres and will automatically download demos in the background
- Remote Play with PS4 and Vita is functional day one
