Sony’s $400 PlayStation 4 is past this side of the horizon, just down the road, maybe even in the back of one of those trucks wheeling past your house on the way to some big box store’s back room — the system officially goes on sale in the U.S. this coming Friday, November 15.

Assuming you’ve made good with a pre-purchase (or you’re ready to bundle-up and brave the lines for the scant units earmarked for store shelves), here’s what’s on the menu at launch, confirmed by Sony, with overviews and trailers to help you decide which games to snap up.
