i really want one cuz it is so kool
When it comes to the design of the system I really preferred the very first image on this page, also the glass looking one. Obviously I want this system to have better graphics but I also want it to be something that no one has ever seen before. If Google is creating Google Glass, and Samsung has created the flexible display screen, the PS4 Needs to be great. They should call it the PS4 Orbis. Don’t drop the PS4. I’ve been waiting since the original playstation for augmented reality. Get me in the game, literally. I like the idea of adding new features to the controller. It would need to have an effect into the new technology that the console offers, not just something gimmicky. I want this system to be the best one yet. I have always like Playstation more than Xbox. I cant wait to try this system. I’ve been waiting since the launch of the PS3 :) Great article…
