The PS4 is a graphical powerhouse, able to deliver massive game worlds with impressive clarity and detail. 8GB of RAM allows for serious multitasking potential, complementing the great apps and features that make up the PS4 experience. The PlayStation brand of consoles has an impressive history of delivering world-class exclusive games, and the trend is sure to continue with the PS4. The growing blockbuster catalog is backed by a library of free-to-play and indie games, giving you flexibility in how you pay and play. The PS4 also acts as a social hub, with several built-in features that take advantage of the social networks you're already using. The controller's Share button opens up a world of video sharing, with the option to stream your gameplay live or record it to edit and post later. PlayStation Vita owners will enjoy the connectivity that ties the two devices together, from Remote Play, which allows you to play your PS4 games on your Vita's screen over a local Wi-Fi network, to Cross-Buy, which allows you to purchase a game digitally only once and play it on both your PS4 and your Vita. All PS4 consoles will need a firmware update and must be connected to the Internet to complete the update. While your console will not always need to be connected to the Internet, a one-time connection is required for the update. Online multiplayer requires a paid PlayStation Plus membership. Some features require a broadband Internet connection; ISP fees apply. PS3 games, controllers and some accessories are not compatible with the PS4.

I chose this system because I have loved my ps2 and ps3. I have owned the Xbox and Xbox 360. I enjoyed both consoles but I always had more fun and loyalty to playstation. A good number of my friends also have the ps4 so we tend to play the multiplayer games often. The servers have been great for me on FIFA and cod ghosts. I've never been dropped from a game.

Perfect controller for Steam and Steam Big Picture

Verified Purchase:Yes
I bought this to use on my laptop. I usually connect my laptop to my big screen and use with Steam. It works great and I haven't found any problems with it. I only wish there were more steam games with controller support.
The controller feels good in my hands and I can play for awhile with it still being comfortable. The only thing I don't like is that it takes batteries.
Overall it's a solid controller and does its job very well.
