SONY PS4 hits November 15 for $399.


Sony's next-gen gaming console will hit stores in the US on November 15 at a price of $399. That price undercuts Microsoft's Xbox One -- also arriving in November -- by $100.
The US launch will be followed by a European release on November 29. The console will cost £349 in the UK, and 399 euros on the Continent.
Along with the console, Sony has also confirmed a large list of PS4 games due to be released before the end of the year.
With the clock ticking on the PS4's release, we've gathered together just about everything we know about the next PlayStation, and how it compares with its new nemesis, the Xbox One. Read on for the details.
Used games: Yes (mostly)
The Xbox One had generated controversy because of its onerous digital rights management policies, including requiring daily Internet connections and account verification -- even for single-player games. According to Microsoft's original plan, sales and loaning of used discs would've been limited by policies set by individual game publishers. Microsoft has since reversed those policies.
Sony's policy for the PlayStation 4 appears, at first glance, to be far more traditional, but now that Microsoft's Xbox One policies seem to have come more in line with Sony's, the PS4's original advantage on this front has been largely erased. The PS4 will support used games and won't verify game accounts online. However, Sony will also leave it to third-party publishers to set their own rules on used titles, so it may not be as black and white as originally touted.
Both the PS4 and Xbox One are said to be region-free, meaning games bought in or imported from any region should play on each respective console.
