just curious to know if that blue light stays on
I feel like I've heard somewhere that it does, since it serves the same purpose of letting you know that the system is on the same way the PS3's power button light does.

I don't see why it wouldn't be.

If you are on top of things and know when your stores will receive shipments / order online, yes. If you expect to just be able to walk in a store and by one, well, good luck.

just curious to know if that blue light stays on
i just offered to sell my xbox elite, both controllers, and all games for a $100 to my sister for her kids... i wasn't even gonna sell it to her.. i was just gonna give it to her, but i figured i could use the 100 towards the ps4.. ya'll think that's a good price ?

Nolan North on PS4: “I’ve Seen Some Stuff… I Couldn’t Believe it was Gameplay”
Fresh off (well, not too fresh) his starring role as Deadpool in Deadpool, and that other game, Nolan North was present at the recent GameStop Expo in Las Vegas. There, he spoke to GamerHub about how Nathan Drake is the most commonly requested voice from fans, while also answering what he thinks the PS4 would add to a possible future Uncharted game:
I’ve seen of the prototypes of the PS4 and I know that a lot of the developers I’m working with that use the PS4… it’s an amazing machine. I think it’s going to step up the game for any game. Whether it’s Uncharted, God of War, Call of Duty, all these games are going to benefit from just the technology that they’re putting out.
When we think we’ve reached the pinnacle of what a game can look like, some genius somewhere makes it a little bit better and opens up the avenue for an opportunity to make the game more cinematic, more of an experience. I think the PS4 is going to be pretty amazing – it’s going to push those boundaries even further.
After talking about the graphical evolution of the Uncharted games and Naughty Dog titles, he continued:
I’ve seen some stuff… gameplay… that they’re testing for… I don’t remember what game it was but they were doing some testing on the PS4 and I couldn’t believe it was gameplay. I mean, it’s extraordinary technology.

PS4 is '50% faster' than Xbox One, report game developers
Countless tomes worth of commentary have already been written about the horsepower of the PS4 and Xbox One, and we still have two months to go before launch. To curb speculation, Microsoft has gone out of its way to dismiss the PS4′s perceived superiority, but recent reports indicate that Redmond might be in more trouble than it is letting on. If these rumors are to be believed, the PS4 is actually upwards of 50% more powerful than the Xbox One.
Edge, a game publication based out of the UK, recently ran a story claiming that the PS4′s RAM is between 40 and 50% faster than the RAM in the Xbox One. More surprisingly, the PS4′s ALU (Arithmetic Logic Unit) is also roughly 50% faster than the Xbox One‘s. Even worse, one example has an unoptimized game running at 30 frames per second at 1920×1080 on the PS4 ,while the Xbox One version runs at below 30 fps, at just 1600×900. That’s not representative of final results, but it is worrisome news to hear so close to the launch of the next generation.
Game performance isn’t strictly reliant on the power of the hardware, mind you. The quality of the graphics drivers and available APIs can make a huge difference when it comes down to squeezing out a better frame rate. While the PS4 and Xbox One’s graphics drivers aren’t completely baked yet, some developers have claimed that Microsoft is significantly lagging behind Sony. Regardless of Microsoft’s company line, it seems that numerous developers are already being tripped up by the Xbox One.
I spoke to ExtremeTech’s hardware analyst, Joel Hruska, and he seems to think that the Xbox One’s 32MB of ESRAM — a supposed ace up Redmond’s sleeve — is hampered by its oddball configuration. That feeling seems to be mirrored by an anonymous game developer who claims that it is “a pain to use [the Xbox One's] ESRAM.” While the ESRAM does have the potential to help close the gap between the PS4′s GDDR5 RAM and the Xbox One’s slower DDR3 RAM, it seems that it will require a lot of additional work to see much of a performance increase.
As Sony and Microsoft scramble to get everything ready for the next-gen launch, we’re stuck waiting patiently to see how these consoles perform under real-world conditions. We’ve yet to see much actual gameplay footage running on final hardware, so speculation and hearsay is all that’s left. After the consoles ship, and the first round of games is out of the way, we’ll finally begin to get a clearer picture of how different the PS4 and Xbox One will actually be. The proof in the pudding will have to wait for the second big wave of games some time in 2014, though. By then, developers will have had enough time with both development environments to effectively push up against the actual hardware limitations.

You might be thinking of the light on the Dualshock 4. I don't think they've confirmed if you can turn this one off.
Someone did say it has different shades of blue/ purple and it pulses too.

No idea man. One day I'm cutting a whole day's worth of classes my Junior year in college to camp for the PS3 and now the PS4 comes out. It all goes by so quickly.

Trying not to fall into the hype. I know that game will be sitting on my shelf after a week, but it does look pretty amazing.
