Up close and personal

There’s always a sense of deflation when you anticipate a moment for so long that it passes in the blink of an eye. We’ve spent the past nine months or so building up to the PlayStation 4’s launch, and now it’s already gone in North America. While there’s still the excitement of the European release to come, we hope that the product’s more than making up for any oncoming blues.

We’ve already asked for your first impressions on the next generation console, as well as your thoughts on the user interface and social features – but now we want to know how you’d rate your first weekend with Sony’s newest system. Is the console living up to your expectations, or are you a little bit disappointed with your purchase?

Do you love the system’s slick form factor?
