Summary: IGN a very good and creative gaming organization gives gamers a home for information and solitude. IGN covers every gaming story when it comes to game reviews, consoles, or television stories. IGN in this article talks about Sonys newest advancement.Sony has reached its 20th anniversary and like always they have come out with a huge surprise to gamer fans. Only one year after Sony's new PlayStation 4 they have came back strong again unveiling a special edition 20th anniversary edition. This edition not only gives gamers a flashback to the original PlayStation 1 system but it also includes signature additions that made up those systems. Including the original red, blue, green and orange PlayStation logo on the top and also coming in the signature silver/aluminum color that once came in the original PlayStation 1 system. Sony also went through the time to give the dual shock 4 controller a new look. Having the original silver paint job and logo as well, the controller has Sonys signature button shapes on the touchpad of the controller. PlayStation has yet to reveal how people will be able to obtain this rare console and it will be announced later this week at the PlayStation Experience event.
Quotes:
"The new model, which comes in the same 'Original Grey' finish as the very first PlayStation that launched back in Japan on December 3, 1994, will be available in extremely limited quantities for €499."
"Just 12,300 of the consoles will be released worldwide, to reflect the launch date of the original console."
"For North America, full details about how and where you'll be able to place a pre-order will be revealed at this weekend's PlayStation Experience, during the opening keynote that takes place December 6 at 10am PT / 1pm ET."
Reflection: Being a huge PlayStation gamer I think it is awesome for PlayStation to have released such a rare console. This is such a unique and good locking console and any owner of the luck 12,300 consoles being sold will be part of a history that has defined the gaming world. With PlayStation taking the lead over Microsoft this past year in the gaming world, Sony shows its love by giving us amazing and rare consoles and games that make all there gamers happy and true to the brand. PlayStation has hit it big in the special edition console department and I believe this special edition will be one of Sonys top selling consoles because of its unique look resembling the holy grail of gaming the PlayStation 1.
I totally agree with you in that the PS4 is a great and powerful gaming console, but I think it is lacking any good software. The throw back to the amazing and creative PS1 is going to do well with collectors because of how groundbreaking and amazing the PS1 and its games were. Your summary and reflection seemed accurate and its a nice simple article mentioning how sony is remembering its past as it should. Hopefully they will do they same when developing some creative games for the PS4.
ReplyDeleteExcellent posting! The overall decoration of the blog looks great and really pops out at the audience. The PS4 pictures throughout the blog eliminate any confusion the reader may have about the blog and tells the reader exactly what is going to be discussed in the posting. Your description of IGN was very detailed, clear, and simple. I was able to understand the exact purpose of IGN and understand what it does in/for the gaming world. I also really liked the quotes you decided to use for your posting, they offer plenty of information to the reader and they are a perfect length, not too short not too long. With that being said, the length of your quotes keeps the reader interested and wanting to read the entire quote rather than just skim through it. The colors you used for your background are awesome. They match the PS4 theme perfectly because being a gamer myself I know that blues, whites, and blacks are all colors the make up the iconic PS4 box. On an even more extreme note, the colors are neutral and are easy on the eyes so the reader does not struggle while skimming through your blog. Your overall summary was great. Very detailed and to the point. You had some excellent arguments and I really like how you incorporated personal experiences with the PS4 and other gaming consoles in order to offer valuable information and opinions to the reader. Overall your information was very accurate and extremely informative. One of my favorite features of your blog was the marketing side you decided to include, that being Black Friday and it's sales. I thought it was extremely clever that you decided to first describe/give an overview of the new PS4 in your first posting and then describe sales and trends that occurred during Black Friday. Your postings were very interesting and reach out to a wide fan base!
ReplyDeleteWith the success of the PlayStation 1, it is evident that this limited edition console will appeal to gamers. Sony will receive publicity from selling a limited number of them. People also like to have anything that others can't. Saying that there is a limited number of these consoles will increase demand. I agree with you on the point that the console looks awesome. A good-looking product will help to increase sales.
