Personally I'm not I still have a huge backlog to finish for this gen and so many great games still on the way like Arkham Origins which isn't even releasing on next gen consoles.... I figure I'll be ready to jump into next gen holiday 2014.

I pre orderd ps4 the first day preorders started to happen. So Yes I will get ps4 at launch.

Im keeping my ps3. I have a huge backlog, plus I need it for GTAV and still going to pick up beyond two souls, arkham orgins, and Gran turismo 6.

Not to mention all the games I missed out on that will be dirt cheap soon.

Yes I am. Whether or not my PS3 sticks around depends on the quality of Drive Club. I need a racing game in my life so my PS3 may stay on the shelf simply to play GT6 come December.

Already preordered but Best Buy has given me a release date of November 31. It's ok because either way it's a Christmas gift so I have to wait until Christmas to play it anyways which is fine by me.

Yes, I'll be there at midnight. Haven't decided on a game yet, frontrunners are Watchdogs or Killzone. As for my PS3, I'll be keeping it for Beyond, Batman and Castlevania LOS2 and for revisiting the following games:

Metal Gear Legacy

Uncharted 1-3

Infamous 1-2

TLOU

Mass Effect 2-3

Batman Arkham 1-2

Burnout Paradise

I have my preodered from Amazon. Honestly, I'm not going to play it right away, I'm going to put in the biggest HDD I can afford, likely 1.5TB since my 500GB on my PS3 is nearly fully. I never thought I'd full that hard drive my PS+ proved otherwise.

I'm also getting a handheld from another company to play the sequel to an action rpg about a guy in a green tunic... (Trying to stay on topic by not mentioning other systems). So yeah, that's what I'll likely be doing for the first two months of my PS4's life. Once I finish that game, I'll check out some indie games, and maybe a launch game.

Anyone else going to upgrade their hard drive upon or soon after purchase. With the 50GB Killzone story, I don't want to take any chances this gen.

When I do get a PS4 around the middle of next year, I'm just going to keep on buying games physically, and even with all the PS + stuff I doubt I'll come anywhere close to filling up 500 GB of space.

I was planning to pre order it back in june but didn't make the dead line sadly. So I'll just continue finishing my backlog till more are avaliable. Right now I'm looking extremely forward to Beyond Two Souls anyway, so I'm content right now.

Nah. I want to wait and see if it'll suffer from any hardware issues first. My backlog of games is pretty extensive too so there's that.

Nope. Still TONS of life (and games to play through) on my PS3... I wait for all the inevitable hardware malfunctions, redesigns, and price drops to happen. Plus, I want to see where all of the used game nonsense and online faulderrall settles... There are still WAY too many variables behind the curtain, and nothing on the next-gen that I feel an overwhelming desire to play...

Nope. Launch hardware are notoriously spotty. I like to hold off until a slim model is released before I get into a gen. By that time, I'm all played out of 'last' gen.

Probably, but I am concerned about launch defects. And my PS3 isn't going anywhere anytime soon, I have 20+ games that I own and still haven't played.

Nope, I'm waiting at least a year before getting any next gen console. Of all the announced exclusive games so far only the new InFamous interests me, which I can wait for, while all the other games I want are being released on PS3 anyway. Plus any potential hardware problems will hopefully have been ironed out after a year or so.

I'm going to wait til they come out with a 1TB model. By then, there should be nice selection of games.

I will have the 1TB model. It's called a 1TB upgrade.

You're joking right? I'm not saying launch PS3's had a bunch of defects but they still had some. Overheating was an issue for a lot of people not as bad as the launch 360 but still there.

And the PS2 had so many defects, it resulted in a lawsuit.

I think I'll wait til feb and get one with my tax money. Way too many games to finish from my instant game library as well as my 360. Also want to buy more. Once these new consoles release, expect some really good price drops and close outs in order to make room for next gen games. You can also expect to find a lot of deals from private sellers since none of these consoles are backwards compatable.

Nope. Plenty of juice left in my PS3 (and XBOX 360). 

I never buy launch consoles ever. I usually wait til their libraries are varied and diverse. 

Plus, I still have a backlog to catch up so I'm in no rush.

Yup, along with an extra controller, Watchdogs, Battlefield 4, Assassin's Creed 4, Killzone: Shadowfall, and Call of Duty: Ghosts. Its going to be an expensive day.

No. I'm waiting at least a year or two. Plenty of games for me to burn and catch up on my PS3. I'm not a graphic whore so I don't mind paying less for any next gen title that interests me for PS3 while PS4 builds up some worthwhile exclusives. Plus inevitable hardware failure is a definite red light for me purchasing any console at launch. Not to mention the PS4 Slim will surely make its debut once the next gen hype settles down.

I don't think so because most of the game I can already get it on PS3/Xbox/PC. I'll wait until PS4 release a exclusive game that I want.

I have one preordered, not getting it though. I just don't see a reason to get it at the moment. I will wait until sometime next year, where there are more games to play for it.

Nope. Can't afford it, plus I haven't played my PS3 enough to upgrade already
