I thought I’d made up my mind to pick up a PS4 first in the new generation, although I’m in no rush as the launch titles don’t seem to be anything special. I love Sony’s product style, and their viral marketing campaigns are targeted well.

Click on this link: http://middle-earth.thehobbit.com/ (I could only open it…
