That’s a headline I’ve been waiting to write for years. Now that the clock has struck midnight on the East Coast, Sony’s PlayStation 4 is now available to purchase across the United States for $399. Here in the UK, we’ll have to wait a long two weeks until November 29th until we can get our hands on it.
No doubt thousands of US PlayStation fans are queueing up at midnight launches right now, eager to purchase their console. The first PS4 transaction is likely to be taking place, along with games such as Knack and Killzone.
Everything since February 20th, and even more with all the rumours and speculation over the past few years, with the first post hinting at a PS4 on this site being five years ago. Since then there’s been everything from rumours of the console being named Orbis, to download only, to the fact that you might not be able to trade in your games and everything in between. And now, here we are.
PlayStation means a lot to us here at TSA, and as a new generation of consoles begins, so does a new generation of TSA. We launched our redesign and reshuffled everything a bit early, a few months back, but we’re continuing delivering you daily doses of news, opinion and anything else that might take our fancy – we’ve been ramping up our video content recently, and you can be sure there’s even more incoming.
So, here’s to PlayStation, and to us all. We’ve made it through (almost) an entire console generation – a full six years now – and built a strong community, full of unique and memorable regular members. Thanks for reading – we really couldn’t have done it without you – and we hope you’ll all stay for the ride, and meet us back here in another seven or eight years, as we anticipate the launch of the PlayStation 5.
Until then, let’s enjoy everything the PS4 is going to give us.

Going to climb inside my freezer for two weeks to cryogenically freeze myself. Hope I don’t over sleep or… die.

I can’t argue with that, I’m a total knob and might I add, a bit of a prick as well.

Thanks to Blair and Peter for their early morning scribbling on the PS4 All Access news. Meant I could check I didn’t miss anything while doing my own. :-)
Right, almost time for work…
