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. You do know that playstation is like this too right? 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.

399 is an awesome price, but since there really isn't any games coming out on it that I'm excited for ill wait until there is to buy it.

Another thing about paying for online. You only have to pay to play online. Netflix and media are still free unlike Xbox live. Also lol at the network anyone whose been on the PSN lately knows its just as good as live.

QUOTE (TaylorStSox @ Jun 10, 2013 -> 10:13 PM) Sony failed today IMO in everything outside of price. For a system that's supposed to be aimed at hardcore gamers, you'd think they'd be able to show a presentation that wasn't in-engine. The games looked worse. Watchdogs certainly didn't look next gen. Microsoft is ahead of them in the media center idea and they have the network to back it. I'm bored with gaming right now so I won't be buying either, but with integration options in the Xbox, I'd probably go that route. Regardless, you're probably better off going with the console that's more popular and I wouldn't bet on Sony. Just because its more popular this generation? (Which it actually isnt anymore)

Playstation obviously realized they can charge for online play after seeing how easily they were going to crush Xbox

399 dollar price tag...rip Xbox officially

This is great

QUOTE (chw42 @ Jun 10, 2013 -> 09:49 PM) Well s***. I really did enjoy the free online on PS3, not that I used it that much. The only online game I played was CoD. All you have to do is subscribe to PS+ so If you already do its not that bad. Still annoying.

Never mind.. You now have to pay to play online multiplayer.

PS4 just won.. RIP xbox No restrictions on used games, no Internet required.

Ps4 and Xbox 1 look eerily similar.

QUOTE (Chilihead90 @ Jun 10, 2013 -> 05:48 PM) Haven't heard those yet. They just announced yet another amazing trailer for WatchDogs, and then some kids games and Just Dance 4. Is there a release date for this yet? Is it launching with the new consoles?

iOS 7 looks interesting

Man if the rumored price of 350 for the ps4 is correct it might blow the Xbone out of the water

QUOTE (witesoxfan @ Jun 7, 2013 -> 11:49 AM) I was being somewhat facetious, but they discontinued the XBox 3 years after the release of the 360. The PSOne/PlayStation original was discontinued in 2006, 6 years after the PS2 release date; the PS2 wasn't discontinued until January of THIS YEAR, which is, again, a little more than 6 years after the inital release of the PS3. Just going through all of this, which company do you think has a better PR department? You don't want the first generation console anyways. You're going to end up spending $600-700 on it and there will be mechanical bugs like crazy. Get a second or third generation 3-4 years down the line once they've fixed most of the bugs, the system itself is more cosmetically appealing, and it's $200-400 cheaper. My launch ps3 lasted me until this spring without an issue

QUOTE (witesoxfan @ Jun 7, 2013 -> 11:12 AM) It's to the point where I am strongly considering a switch to PS4. I probably won't buy it till the second price reduction, unless f***ing Microsoft takes away XBox Live for the 360 shortly after launch too, in which case that system becomes f***ing useless. At this rate, I could see them switching off live services prior to the One even being launched. They are really, really screwing the pooch on this one. Honestly, I don't think there's any way I can go back to XBox at this point. Doubt they would do that. Judging by how much money Sony made off the PS2 after the PS3 released why would Microsoft stop producing the 360 for at least 2-3 years?

QUOTE (Noonskadoodle @ Jun 6, 2013 -> 05:17 PM) Listening to Coach & Company show earlier & Victor Conte was saying he believes 50% of players in baseball today are still cheating. Says it's way to easy to get around. Says players take these lifesaver type things or creams after ballgames & it raises their testosterone level which brings nitrogen to the tissue & accelerates healing & recovery & by the time they show back up the next day their levels are back down. He said they need a CIR test which can detect these kind of things up to 2 weeks after & they would be busting guys left & right. Why exactly is a cream like that illegal as opposed to other creams that are not?

QUOTE (TRU @ May 22, 2013 -> 04:59 PM) I see no problem with the used game fees they are talking about.. I buy everything new anyways.. Here is my question.. you have to install all games onto your xbox1 to play them, then you dont need the disc anymore from my understanding.. so does this mean I can buy a new game, go home and install it, and then trade it in immediately for max store credit? If so, I love this idea.. The used game market is going to be dead. So there won't be anywhere to trade it in.

QUOTE (witesoxfan @ May 7, 2013 -> 09:09 AM) OK so I forgot how many awesome sports games there were. I killed a lot of time playing both MVP 05 and 06 (the college version). Both games were just sick. The college version was just so awesome. Better then 05, that game would have been incredible if it had the mlb license. Though the show is close to what the MVP series was, I still to this day wonder what would a current MVP after 7 more years of growth would be like. Also the ping was amazing

QUOTE (Athomeboy_2000 @ May 7, 2013 -> 03:16 PM) normally yes, but many stations have to power down at night to not impeed on 50,000 watt stations. Supposedly, this is WMVP's night coverage map: What exactly does this mean? Why wouldn't they be be impeding these stations during the day?

Suspects in custody

War zone in Boston right now. Huge shoot out. This is f***ing nuts. Could possibly be this shooting and the marathon are related

If some guy walks up to me looks me in the eye and leaves his backpack there. I'm probably not sticking around that area anymore.

QUOTE (IlliniKrush @ Apr 13, 2013 -> 11:09 AM) Bump. Steve, I'm looking to try to hammer out this tip. When I try to follow exactly what you said, it seems awkward. I'm just raising my shoulder only? Tilting my body with it? I'm with Hurt, I have a terrible slice on every drive, irons are usually fine. I have to line up at about a 45 degree angle off the tee, and I can nail the middle of the fairway. Also got my own set of clubs for xmas this year. Nothing fancy, just a good starter set. I don't need great equipment, I'm just a rec golfer and just really starting to get into it a bit more. But it's still cool to not use my Dad's old school ones. *********** You guys ever play Top Golf? It's really fun if you haven't. And Steve it's our your way. ************ In other news, interesting news at Augusta this morning with the Tiger Woods penalty etc. I've had this problem forever. I've become really good at hitting the fairway with this trick though haha

QUOTE (Steve9347 @ Apr 11, 2013 -> 10:43 AM) Brian Scalabrine dominated turds like this, but some are going to step to Jordan? Move along, kids are stupid. He tweeted the other day that he was sick of the 1 on 1 challenges so he'd only accept them now for 5k a game. Easy money
