Let Sony Show You Their PS4 Unboxing Video
So this is what it’s come to, huh? Unboxing videos are so popular that companies are not just putting out official unboxing videos, but they’re infusing them with high production values. After years of rumors and a longer previous console generation, the PS4 is launching this Friday, November 15, in North America. Sony wants to show you what you’ll be getting when you open your own box, and they’re showing you in style, reusing the set from the unboxing of Daft Punk’s Random Access Memories earlier this year. (I guess they have to cut costs somewhere.) It’s everything you’d expect to be in the box, including a mono headset, something the PS3 didn’t include by default. (That doomed the PS3 to a life without much audio chat compared to the Xbox 360, which generally included a headset.)
I’m just happy that HDMI cables are included this time; sure, every next-gen system only accepts HDMI, so it makes sense, but it was just silly last generation when they supported HDMI but made you buy a cable separately. Just keep in mind that the PS4 doesn’t include the new camera peripheral revealed earlier this year. You’ll have to buy it separately, but if you don’t care about it, at least it’s optional unlike the Xbox One’s new Kinect camera, allowing the PS4 to cost only $399.99 compared to the Xbox One at $499.99.
