Design
DUALSHOCK 4 adopts the familiar form factor of the DUALSHOCK 3 wireless controller with some key enhancements:
Motion control is enabled by a new highly sensitive six-axis sensor Dual analog sticks fine-tuned for better precision plus improved surface materials and shape for more delicate manipulation L2/R2 buttons on the top of the controller employ a curved design for easier, smoother interaction A new “Options” button combines the functions of the DUALSHOCK 3’s “Select” and “Start” buttons for operating in-game menus
New Ways to Play, Share and Connect
In addition to these features that build on the controls that you already know, DUALSHOCK 4 offers new features that enable new ways to play, a key part of the PS4 experience. One of the biggest innovations we’ve designed centers on the deep social interactions that will surround all games on PS4.
The “Share” button allows you to easily broadcast your gameplay in real-time through streaming sites such as Ustream, where fellow gamers can comment and even join your game in new ways. For example, if you’re stuck in a difficult level, your friends can offer health potions or special weapons that you can use during gameplay. You can also instantly upload images or video to Facebook by pressing the “Share” button. As both a developer and a gamer, I’m personally excited about the opportunity to get help from friends when facing a challenge, and I can’t wait to see what my friends are playing in real time along with videos of their favorite in-game moments.
On the front side of DUALSHOCK 4 is a light bar with LED that illuminate in various colors to match the color of the character in a game as a simple way to identify players. The colors can also provide useful information to players, such as when their character has taken damage during a game. DUALSHOCK 4 was developed alongside a second peripheral, a dual camera which can sense the depth of the environment in front of it and also track the 3D location of the controller via its light bar. The new camera incorporates four microphones capable of accurate sound detection and source origination, and it will support the PlayStation Move motion controller with more precision than ever before.
DUALSHOCK 4 also has a touchpad at the front of the controller as a new input method, offering more ways to interact with games. Additionally there’s a built-in speaker and headset jack to deliver high-fidelity sound effects from the games. A headset will be bundled with PS4, enabling gamers to chat with friends during online gaming and to hear sound effects from the controller.
There’s a lot built into DUALSHOCK 4, and the features were all thoughtfully designed with input from the development community (both our internal studios and third parties) and PlayStation gamers. Our goal was to give game creators an open canvas to express their ideas, and DUALSHOCK 4 combined with DUALSHOCK 4 will help us achieve the future of gaming that we at PlayStation see ahead of us.
PRICE $399 US $399 EUROS $349 POUNDS 39,980 yen ($402) $549 AUS
Also, the PS Camera is not included as first thought to be which helps explain the low costs as opposed to the forced bundle with XBone's Kinect.
No DRM restrictions unless implemented by 3rd party publishers, No online required/checks to use PS4, Used/Borrowed/Traded games supported
It is also region free like the PS3 and a mic is included this time.
However, there is going to be a fee to play games online which is at about $5 per month or $60 a year. It means you will have access to PSN+ and you'll be getting free games each month with additional perks such as access to the Gaikai system and early access to Betas. As someone who has had PSN+ since the first week, it's definitely worth it and my backlog is ridiculous.

Shanks!!
you have so read my mind
Although you did not mention Final Fantasy Versus
I am very excited for the upcoming release but for me to actually purchase that unit it needs to have RPG games if not I shall wait for a price drop.

Diablo 3 is also coming out on PS3
excited for E3, they're announcing a new FF game idk if it's versus or realm reborn, hoping it's neither. I want FF 15 I'm tired of them milking the 13 and 14 series, they're just flopping and I need something fresh from them.
the controller is great, "if it's not broken, don't fix it" it stayed true to itself, but innovative. loving the head phone jack. I'm kinda upset now that I might have to ditch my eye toy which I barely used for a new camera.
the biggest upgrade by far is the processor and other specs, it's pretty much a gaming PC now.

If they announce FFXV at E3 without showing FFXIII Versus at all...
Square Enix really need to step their game up. Their presentation was pretty much the lowpoint of the conference with an already shown demo and an announcement about a later announcement

The move controllers should be still compatible with the new camera since MM were using it in their demo. I gotta get rid of my PSeye
Also The Witcher 3 is going to be released on the PS4

Aw Thena
Mono, it'll actually depend if its released here like the US and Europe
I read that Japan itself might get a later release date so I'm kinda worried. I can get my deposit back though I'd rather get it on launch date assuming it's possible
