I somehow got a bad feeling today about this new console. When the hype was up high yesterday I really was excited but now however I dunno. I wanted Valve to give me something on the "Steam Box" if they are even ever gonna release that or if it's just rumors.

After comparing the PS4 and the Xbox one a little bit i found that the PS4 might actually be a better buy for me. I don't play alot of online anymore so the servers dosn't matter so much to me. And I felt like the "Xbox One" is going to be more focused on "All-In-One box" with Tv, streaming and all that.

And I know for sure that I'm not gonna be using my console for anything other than gaming. So is PS4 worth a shot or is it gonna be the Xbox again? I want to see more at E3 and after that I'll probaly decide.


Edit: Might actually stick with my computer until the prices drop a bit. We'll see about a few months Smile

2nd hand games and traded games wont really bother me too much as I buy all games pretty much brand new plus you can't borrow DLC or XBLA games and everyone has them and don't complain.

A lot of this seems to be speculation at the moment as I see it but time will tell but really if the do lock the game to the console I believe it will be to a console not an actual account just like they did with XBLA and DLC packs in the past.

But lets take a look at the future of gaming, what will it be. Well I can tell you now that it won't be a physical disk in the future as Steam is already proving that with it's download service same as the new underdog console the OUYA where it is entirely download only no disk media I can tell you now that disk or physical media realistically doesn't have long left in it's life its all going to be DLC even the tablets like Ipad, phones, and even netbooks prove this as they have no disk media slots and basically only a few ports but that's it.

Also we all know that when a game is on the HDD it loads faster and that it works smoother and the console is much quieter and also seems that it lasts longer.

M$ is moving forward it may sound a bit new and strange at first but they have done a great job wit consoles so far and have been market leaders for a reason but one way or another the future is coming and if you keep looking back you will be left behind.

WOW! Are these consoles total copies with a few little changes, like different color.

All you quacks complaining about the looks of the XBOX ONE, now you can complain about the ugly SONY PS4 as well. lolololololol

I am all for the ALL-IN-ONE theory of game consoles. I use my console more for entertainment than gaming. It is the entertainment center peace in our home. Who needs a cable box when you can have it in the xbox one. I love having Netflix, redbox, amazon, IE, Youtube and more on the box. The more the better. Bring it on!

M$ is already going into damage control mode. So many people are pissed over this now M$ is saying the used games fee and lending games fee are just possible scenarios. So what that really says to me is either the VP is an absolute retard and was talking out his ass when interviewed by Kotaku or M$ has clued in after all the hate that this thing is gonna sink like the Titanic and is rushing to kill these money grubbing plans.

I guess M$ better hope theres a huge fanboy crowd who will buy this just cause its new otherwise M$ may as well bow out of the console market now.

I agree with Bill Gates. XBOX ONE is phenomenal. Yet there are some major issues we do need to yell at them about.

Hey when you say M$ don't forget that they are one of the few corporations that actually support the country they are based in unlike Apple.

Not a concern for me since Im a Canadian and they blatantly violate our consumer laws. Namely blocking making backups which is our right. And really supporting a country is irelavant especialy when they obviously had the plan to try and fleece people over and over for the same game. If a company wants respect they can try respecting the end user which is something M$ and $ony have always failed at.

Whatever, I respect a company that gives back to the people of the country they come from. Apple on the other hand pays zero taxes and keeps their money in other counties in order not to support the people of the country they were founded. Irrelevant, I think not.

I do agree with you, SPPV, on about how MS is trying to find ways to capitalize in every way imaginable and yes they have gone overboard big time. That does not take away from the amazing console they have produced and they have done some stupid things in the past only to be corrected by the consumer.

Anything too outrageous won't be tolerated and they will have to listen, I hope!
