@vertrucio: The only parts that bothered me were the freefall segments. They were cool to look at graphically, but frustrating to play. It also had it's share of monster closet, unending waves of enemies that I rarely enjoy. I got through them just fine though.

I finished off Killzone last night (single player anyway) and was quite satisfied. Sure, I wasn't floored by any forward-thinking mechanics, but it was in fact a shooter. I shot things, I was able to shoot what I meant to shoot, and I won. So that's good. And damn that game looks GOOD. I also like what they did with collectibles, in how you can see what you missed and choose to go right to that mission to try to find that comic page or audio log or whatever. I don't know if that's new or a stolen idea, but I like how it works.

I disagree. The only part I care about feeling "premium" is the controller, and the PS4 hit the controller out of the park. I happen to like the sleek look that fits right in my entertainment system without unnecessarily drawing attention to it. What is this about, the cheap earbud?

I'm excited to see what games my family members get for me with no restrictions or edicts on what to buy. I'm thinking I should swear that I keep whatever they give, as long as they aren't repeats. In which case I may find myself playing NBA Live late next month. :)

Also, I'm having a lot of fun with Killzone right now, and feel that perhaps it was judged too harshly. Again, this might be a product of my avoidance of most big FPS games of the last few years.

I should add that this isn't a "PS4 is the best choice" post. I'm just happy to have one currently. I too will likely own all three in the future.

I may add the Wii U to my collection to sit next to the PS4. My 5 year old LOVES Mario and we could play a lot of games together on this.

From what I can tell, the best deal for me may be the Best Buy Wii U Bundle with the 2 Super Mario Brothers U games and Mario and Luigi WiiMotes for $320. Anything else good you've heard of? Mario is where it's at for me, so the Zelda set is tempting but this is more for the kid. :)

Sorry man, I feel partially responsible. :) Why didn't you call Sony? They might have sweetened the pot for your trouble!

I had thought that when the keepers message went off, I had to boost around and find the human that got released. I think I got confused by the first time I saw a ship actually beaming a dude up. Like the keepers message meant they were in the process of beaming a guy up.

Awesome, I get it now. I thought that keepers thing meant one of the humans was going to be running around. So if I hear the keepers thing, I kill the glowy guys, then a guy will get out of his cage.

@geraltitude: Me too, actually. I have no idea how to find the humans. I have no idea when I'm supposed to be looking. I lose so many where I have NO IDEA where they are.
