TaylorStSox Posted June 11, 2013 Share Posted June 11, 2013 (edited) QUOTE (GoodAsGould @ Jun 10, 2013 -> 10:51 PM) If the Xbox outdoes the Ps4 with how things have been going publicity wise and the fact this time Sony is the cheaper system, well Sony might as well give up after this console. You mean keeping pace with Sony despite a console that breaks over and over again wasn't enough? Once Dad learns that he can watch football games and get rid of his cable box on the same machine his kid plays games on, it's over. Or, Mom can dim the lights and check Pintrest, while DVR'ing Girls. Edited June 11, 2013 by TaylorStSox Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

All the media options are there and more will be in the future just like with Xbox. Not to mention sony itself is a media brand and will be able to offer much more then Xbox because of that.

Both are obviously going to sell out on launch and I'm not sitting in line for a system but I'm happy hearing all the positive buzz is in Playstation's corner since I was never a fan of the 360 and when I got around to buying a system was leaning on the Ps4 before hearing all the used game bulls*** and whatnot.

ChiliIrishHammock24 Posted June 11, 2013 Share Posted June 11, 2013 Well, looks like we found the one guy who will be sleeping in a tent for the XboxOne release. TaylorStSox. I can't believe ANYONE would take the XboxOne over the Ps4 after this week's announcements. Hilarious, really. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you think Sony's background makes them better equipped to create an all in one media center, then there really isn't much to discuss. The PS4 is aimed at gamers. That's always been their goal, hence the unnecessarily more robust hardware. Microsoft had better looking games, despite their stated goal to be orientated to more forms of entertainment. Sony's network and online interface pale in comparison. Outside of price, how did Sony look better? Also, IMO, worrying about used games and going to the box store to buy software will quickly become a thing of the past. It's no longer necessary.

No. I said I won't be buying either, but would lean towards the Xbox because I'm not as interested in gaming as I used to be. Microsoft's vision is far more forward thinking. If you're going to be condencsending, at least try to provide some type of argument. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I hate downloading games on the playstation store or xbox live because it takes so damn long and it takes up a lot of space on the hard drive. i still prefer getting a physical copy that i can play, finish, then trade in for value towards my next purchase, instead of a virtual copy that im stuck with forever that will collect virtual matrix dust.

While I do agree with you to an extent, physical media is becoming a thing of the past. Look at the CD/DVD market. It's gotten to the point that a DVD collection is almost embarrassing.

Jake Posted June 11, 2013 Share Posted June 11, 2013 I'd like some more elaboration on how much better of a media center XBOX One is compared to PS4. I find it to be a slap in my f***ing face that I not only have to pay Netflix to watch Netflix on my XBOX, but also XBOX. Likewise with Hulu, HBO Go, etc. I shouldn't have to pay to access these services. I could understand paying for online gaming, but not paying for online streaming services. Sometimes I want to play games online, sometimes I want to play Madden franchise mode by myself for a month. I like having some choice about that.

You're far more likely to scratch the physical media than lose the info in a crash. You can't recover a broken disc. Will you be able to download a game twice once purchasing the license in the event of hardware failure? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DrunkBomber Posted June 11, 2013 Share Posted June 11, 2013 Ive had both a PS3 and 360 at different times, I currently have a 360. As of right now Im not sure which console I will get. I think a lot of people are overreacting and Id like to get more details about each system before I go crazy for one or the other. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's not a crazy idea to pay a minimal fee to access a network either. Ideally, you'll have the option to access media through apps or integration with your cable provider. That's why I said its going to be interesting to see what type of arrangement Microsoft has with Sky. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Quin Posted June 11, 2013 Share Posted June 11, 2013 Microsoft got knocked the f*** out. Only thing I didn't like is PS+ is required for online play, but even then PS+ is a great service. I was going to continue using it anyway. The discounts, free games, etc. make it worth it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You most certainly do pay to stream the media. You don't pay for access to the network. If PSN is anything like the original, the 13 cents you pay per day for Xbox Live will be well worth it. Xbox Live's interface is great looking and intuitive. PSN is a jumbled wasteland of bad design. I wouldn't be surprised to see Xbox drop the price and launch first. They appear to be far more ready for launch. The problem is that they're making you pay for Kinect and people don't understand it and are scared of change.
