Sony announced the official PS4 release date will be Nov. 15 in North America and Nov. 29 in Latin America, Australia and Europe. The PlayStation 4 will be released in 32 countries total. New game titles, features, deals and updates for the PS3 and PS Vita were also announced yesterday at the Gamescom conference in Cologne, Germany.

The PS4 will have a slew of new features. Remote Play will be available for almost every PS4 game as well as PS Vita games. This means that gamers can use Wi-Fi to stream games from their PS4 to their PS Vita. Sony Music Unlimited Service will be accessible on the PS4 as well. Gamers will simply press the PS4 controller's PS button in order to listen to music while they game. Twitch will also be available on the PS4.

PS4 users will also be rewarded with some special deals. A 14-day free trial to PS Plus, a subscription service that will soon be required for most online games, will be awarded to PS4 owners. PS Plus features games like Resogun, Drive Slub, Rebirth and Assassin's Creed 3; this will all be free for those with the PS4. Also, those who sign up now will get a bonus 90 days of PS Plus for free.

Those without a PS Vita can take advantage of the new lower price for the system. Sony announced that the price for the portable gaming device will drop from $249 in the U.S. to $199.  PS Vita memory cards will see a price drop as well.

The PS4's DualShock 4 controller will be available in "Magma Red" and "Wave Blue," in addition to the standard black. The controllers will be available later this year for $59.

"DualShock in 'Magma Red' and 'Wave Blue' are the first color variations, representing two of the most popular colors among PlayStation users," said the company.
