PlayStation 4 official unboxing video visits Daft Punk set

We've seen inside the PlayStation 4's casing, but what's in the box? As people now "unbox" consumer products rather than simply open them, Sony has sent a bold explorer into a Daft Punk video for an official unboxing video showing off exactly what you'll get for $399.99 on Friday.

Microsoft unboxed (oh good grief) the Xbox One's Day One edition in August in a far more practical manner, though it still has time to get fancy and try to one-up Sony.

        It's only for chat, not game-audio. Why bother with stereo?

          excellent point, didn't really think about it. and the psn store or whatever should be live day one i imagine? so you can download whatever titles you want?

              although I guess all you can effectively do is pre-order the PS4 games.

          Also, that pin configuration let's you use any common wired headset you want. Even professional wired ones can use that pinout.

          It can either do game audio (via stereo) or game chat, you choose:

        AC4, BF4 and NFS for me. KZ looks pretty cool, but the series has never quite grabbed me, so I'm going to wait for reviews and if people are saying it's significantly better than the others.

        AC4 & Killzone are what I picked up (Amazon coupon). Never played any of the previous Killzone games but it was the only other thing in the list that looked interesting.

        Killzone and Knack will be the first. I am undecided if I want to play ACIV on PS4 or PC. I might get it on PS4 since I have a Best Buy gift card and I doubt they have the PC version :P

        nothing was more absurd than sony including composite cables in the PS3. unreal

          A Blu-Ray playing over composite. Brilliant.

          it was released at a time when not everyone had an hdtv yet. it would be stupid now. but i dont think it was a big mistake back in 2007.

              im not sure what that has to do with including composite support to allow a way for people to connect their standard def tv. at the time of release of ps3, hdtv wasnt as widespread as it is now. to ignore standard tv at that time would have resulted in a lot of lost sales from people who were planning to upgrade to hd in the future, but hadnt done so yet and still wanted to play the current games. even if they werent able to play those games in hd, they could at least play them.

                I should have said "not including an HDMI cable" instead of "including composite" My apologies.

                  The last few 360 models only shipped with composite as well. No component or HDMI. I guess they figured everyone has spare HDMI cables by now?

        It definitely was, but in a Domo Arigato Mr. Roboto sort of way. I wanted Shu to stretch out his gloved hands and scream "I'm KILLROY!"

      I mainly noticed the brown leather gloves, and frankly they distracted me from not being surprised by everything we already knew about.
      With all the blacks and blues of playstation why f*ck why brown leather gloves.
      I wear leather gloves when appropriate, like those but black myself and would advise against removing your PS4 from it's box while wearing them, they are bad for grip.

      I'll state my first reaction to the vid was to ask out loud "Why is he wearing brown leather gloves?!"
