The first question they answer better be whether or not the system can function without a connection. The fact it's mandatory to install games to the HDD leads me to believe that a connection will always have to be on to make sure you're not playing bootlegs.
bluray drives are slow(at 6x) and will cause framerate issues i expect the ps4 to do the same thing. its not sufficient reading off that slow shyt that's why the ps3 did mandatory installs. probably will need the disc to avoid piracy though

they bragged about install only and requiring a kinect plugged in at all times :ohhh:

the always online thing I can let slide... but everything else :childplease:

:stopitslime: ps3 games needed an install before functioning. This says you'll be able to play almost instantly.

require an install of the entire game... :shaq2:
we dont know if eye is required at all times :shaq2:

This doesn't say the entire game will have to be installed on Durango. In fact what it says is that the games will be playable almost immediately meaning no waiting for installs like ps3. Sony didn't address this issue for ps4 so I guess you can assume you'll have to wait an hour before you can play your ps4 games, just like the ps3

Sony said the pseye will "unlock your playstaion at a glance" How could it do that unless its always connected?

This really isn't that big of a deal. Before my wii got "changed" I used to have it always connected so it auto updated and the wii remote sensor was always plugged in even if games didn't use motion controls. I think this will be pretty much the same thing. Not every game will use kinect nor require online connection. Also installing games will make them run faster during play than reading a disc. It makes sense
