Maybe, while interested, they are not being sucked into Sony's clear cut plans to get the sheeple to buy early. ;)

Hmmm I would use your real details as it might affect your payment options in the PS Store.

Yes i did in the end, shame i couldn't use the ID i wanted though, does it let you change the ID once it is created as i can't find the option incase i change my mind?

I guess i will have to use a different email if i can't.

Anyway i need to buy a PS4 first, assuming i don't change my mind. :)

I don't think you can change it at the moment, you never used to be able to. That's not to say things might change when they roll-out the PS4.

On a slightly different note, I noticed that there was this constant focus on "real world friends" during the E3 presentation. I wonder if they will prevent random freaks from bombarding you with friend requests.

Yeah, more emphasis on your real name than your ID now;

Here is a pretty cool video demonstrating the PS4 Dual Shock and the PS4 eye and i am pretty impressed with what i can see, looks like fun.

Watch it all if you can.

So the PS4 games will be region free, so does that mean i could easily import a PS4 game from USA etc alot cheaper or are there any import banning restrictions for things like this?

Yep. This has been the case for years with the PS3. Its only region locked on DVD's and Blu Ray movies

Don't certain sites restrict import of PS3 games to the UK, if i remember correctly i thought play asia did this, although i guess there will be other sites that let it happen.

If i can buy games on the cheap like this, this maybe another reason for me to get a PS4 as i believe the Xbone is region locked on games? mmmmm more decisions!
