Do I need to subscribe to PlayStation Plus in order to play online?

In short, yes. While it might seem like a bummer that you have to purchase PS Plus in order to play games online, the cost helps to ensure that services are properly funded, stable and secure. Not to worry though, it’s a very affordable fee that covers everything for an entire year. All is not lost for those who don’t want to however, as all the other standard online services, like chatting, movies, music and social media are set to be available regardless of whether or not you have purchased PlayStation Plus.

Does the PS Camera come with the console?

No, not in standard bundles. According to statements made during E3, the PS Camera was removed from the impending bundled package release of the PS4 in order to undercut the cost of the Xbox ONE. According to sources, the original price tag for the PS4 was set to be somewhere within the vicinity of the $500 range. In other words, by dropping the camera from the release package, Sony was able to dip below Microsoft’s intended release price tag for the Xbox ONE by around $100. However, this doesn’t appear to be a major issue in any regard as the cost of the PS Camera available for around $45.

Should I stand my PS4 horizontally or vertically?

Actually, Sony has tested the PlayStation 4 for proper use in both positions.
