So who is planning on getting a next gen system early on?

nobody is. Heh.

I'm going to be waiting for a bit, child's first birthday and Christmas this year so I'll be waiting, maybe in February. I'm not even getting a Christmas present this year. For anyone.

I dont think those sorts of things will present them selves so quickly. likely not til around the 1 year mark

RRwatch instead of capitalizing nobody put the @ sign right before it.

my reasons for not wanting you guys to capitalize my name goes far beyond puns or the confusion is creates. regardless of the reasons as to why any of you do it I see it as an intentional misspelling of my name. which I take as being as mild as just being disrespectful to it being a personal attack. I realize you guys dont see it this why so I am informing you. so that you do understand. I am not even certain why it bothers me so much but it does. I would much rather have to deal with people speaking in all caps, or 1337 speak, or really terrible grammar or any of those things because those are impersonal. But using a capital N on my name is far far worse to me. SO PLEASE STOP CAPITALIZING THE N ON NOBODY!

Alright, Nobby. You asked for it.
Nobs, ol' buddy, if you can't even understand why it bothers you, then how could you expect anyone else to? It's great that for you it's "far beyond puns and confusion" but it still creates those for everyone else. People aren't going to deal with that if they don't have to. They aren't going to make a special exception, N0l30D3.
Now, nobbers, you have presented a "solution" here with the @. But you can't make people use it. It's not your place or mine to try to do so. Or should the admins issue a decree on your behalf? "Since nobody really cares about their name, then everyone should be considerate of nobody"?
Now, n0BODY, it's entirely possible that they will take up using the @ anyway, and if so that's great. It seems a useful feature even outside of this odd fixation of yours, noobboy. But if not and it still bugs you, well, it's not everyone else that has a problem here. The real problem is that you see people using your name in a normal way as a personal attack, when that makes no sense whatsoever. You're a smart guy, so concentrate on how irrational that is and please try to get over it. Otherwise, the only solution I can see will be for you to "change" your name to Nobody so that it is no longer somehow insulting to you.

 Just so you know the capitalized 'N" was not meant as any disrespect. I think I did it so it would  demonstrate it was a name which are normally capitalized and therefore not be taken as a pun of sorts. I did not put a lot of thought into it but I was certainly was not trying to screw with you in ANY way. it can get a bit confusing using "nobody" Maybe your @ nobody will catch on. I do have some paralysis in my hands  from my spinal injuries so typing is not my forte, it IS easier to hit the shift key  with my left hand than my right , but I will try to use @ if I remember or just not capitalize it .

And why didn't I? Because you are already aware of this thread. There's no reason to call your attention to it. And no, coming up with nicknames took zero effort on my part. I simply did it as I typed. I will avoid nicknames in the future. But I can't/won't promise never to commit this cardinal sin of capitalization. It's the same thing that happens to the name of every other English-speaking person on Earth, so I just don't see it changing.

Again, I have to ask why everyone else should change the way they handle a single proper name when it really seems like the adjustment is yours to make? I guess you're right that putting @ isn't any harder than N, if you completely ignore a lifetime of using capitalization in every other possible instance. It's just how people naturally tend to avoid mistakes when dealing with names that are also words, something you chose to do and can choose to change at any time. You may not be trying to force other users to use specific software, but you're sure making a big deal out of it when they don't.


And now the "work" part of this, which I don't much like.
Do not address other forum members, admin or no, with that kind of language and attitude.
I will give this permission to absolutely everyone on the forum: Come to my PM box and say whatever you want. Curse at me, insult me. I don't care (though even there you still have to abide by the rest of the forum's rules. Ie, no porn and such). I'm perfectly happy to be your bad guy. But don't do it to anyone else's PM box, and keep it off the open forum.

And since we've gone wildly off topic, I would request that any further unrelated conversation be taken to PM.

Not backwards compatible, so you wouldn't be able to play your current games.
But there is something in the works to make up for it, I believe. A streaming service for older titles. Won't be available on launch, last I heard. I'd take a wait and see approach if that's something that's important to you.

It depends on the way they go about it. If they can take the information from your PSN account proving you played a PS3 game and charge you a small fee  for the emulation I might go for it. Nobody really knows how they are going to handle it. By the time I have my PS4 as my main system, my PS3  may not be running on a big screen.

All I thought of when I read this....

"Here's my impression of a PS4; Beep, whirrrr, beep, boop, zzzt"

nobody - I know some issues won't present themselves for a year or 2, that's a risk I'm willing and abel to take, but the immediate ones are the ones that scare me. Example: Some Xbox 360's litterally caught fire at their release.

I'm expecting few issues as they are using PC tech now (tried and true), and a standard running temp of 5 to 35 degrees C, as per specs. As I said though, I'll wait a couple months.
