Sony dropping PLAYSTATION 4 release plans on August 20. TELL ME.

Dear Sony: I have you all prepped to take my money. The PS4 has been pre-purchased on Amazon. My frothing desire mounts. Now just tell me when the fucking console is dropping.

Sony’s August 20 press conference at Gamescom may tell PS4 enthusiasts exactly whenthey’ll be able to shell out $400 for the new console, a post to the European Playstation Blog announced this week.

The update describes the show’s content as a briefing on Sony’s “release plans for PlayStation 4.” Announcements concerning the PS3 and Vita are also planned.

You can start virtually camping out for the conference here, which begins at noon EST. In contrast, Micorosoft has scheduled a keynote led by Corporate VP of Microsoft Phil Spencer. Spencer described its August 20 conference as a “really short” show emphasizing developers and their games, including an exclusive installment to “Europe’s biggest franchise.”
