PS4 vs Xbox One

I am still rocking an original 360, not even the newer model. In Jan I upgraded my pc with 1 tb SSD and a R390 video card thats mainly what I been gaming on and ps vita and new 3ds xl. Have yet to decide if I want to get the current gen or wait for the next ones. I want Quantum Break and since its coming to pc, don't feel like I need to pull the trigger! :LOL:

You may not need to purchase one, Xbox Live is now cross compatible between windows 10 and xbox one. You can play on either with the same account and play together with people on either network. Microsoft had a good day yesterday.

And thanks on the kudos!

Digging up an oldish thread here, but have been thinking of updating my old PS2 with the new slimline PS4 that was released 2 or 3 months ago.

Am not all the interested in the PS4 Pro as I don't consider myself a hardcore gamer, and neither do I have a 4K tv (quite happy with my 1080p for a couple more years)

Trouble is, I haven't bothered with my PS2 in 3 or 4 years (or my Wii, come to that!) I just don't seem to find the time these days. And I have a sneaky suspicion if I do buy a PS4 along with a couple of top-dog games, it will probably end up gathering dust under the telly after a couple of months. Which is a shame, because there appears to be shedloads of top quality games out there that really pique my interest quite a lot.

Moreover, my wife probably won't be all that impressed if I spend hours of my social time glued in front of a TV playing games while she sits in the corner giving me The Stare!

Ho hum
 
It might help to remember that the PS4 has a lot of other applications such as Netflix and the social side of gaming is outstanding. The media player has been updated to play FLV files so you can watch a lot of your own stuff on there, too.

Yes, I have read the PS4 is extremely versatile as a media centre as well as a standard games console. Although to be honest I have QNAP NAS box with Kodi installed, along with a HP Microserver that looks after all my film & tv entertainment. But it's the quality of the PS4 games that is slowly pulling me in.....
 
My Stats page on Star Wars: Battlefront tells me I have logged over 300 hours playing it. :eek:

Yes, and that's my problem! If I spent that length of time on a game I would quickly find myself with divorce papers shoved under my nose!
 
Well, we went for the Xbox One S - mostly paid for by Nectar Points - as a family Christmas present. The HDR and 4K player helped sell it, as did price - and Sony's lack of interest in customer loyalty. We'll keep the PS3 running alongside it.

You're not helping!:confused::D
 
I posted this in another thread at the time, but I got this PS4 bundle a couple of weeks back. It was £30 cheaper when I got it, thanks to Black Friday deals, but I think it's still a good price. Plus Arkham Knight was going for £15 on the Playstation Store that weekend, including all its DLC, so that may have found its way onto the hard drive somehow :ninja:

Well, we've had a few logging in problems with the Xbox One.

An update a couple of months ago made every sign into the Xbox, which required email verification from the Microsoft email accounts the Xbox forced us to set up along with the console.

That was just an irritation - but it turned out that the update also disabled the kids from using our family Xbox - not long after the verification process, the kids were no longer able to sign in - just get a loading page. It really put them off ever wanting to play it.

The issue is finally fixed, thanks to Micorosft's Xbox chat support. But stupid issues like this should never come up in the first place. We've never had anything like this happen with any Playstation.
 
I must say I was a bit bewildered when you plumped for an Xbox 1. Notwithstanding my bias, I just avoid anything from Microsoft because of the total lack of robust architecture let alone all this controlling-you rubbish.

That doesn't help you, I know, but over the years, when you next decide to upgrade, I'd recommend looking elsewhere for you next console.

If the PS4 had backwards compatibility, we would have gone for that without hesitation.

However, I'm seriously tempted to add a PS4 Pro this Christmas - I'll be watching for discounts on Black Friday. Am somewhat jealous of some of the exclusive titles the PS4 has for families, not least Horizon: Zero Dawn, The Last Guardian, No Man's Sky, Ratchet & Clank, and Wipeout Omega.

However, the Xbox One is getting some nice family-friendly titles at the moment, too.
 
Backwards comp on the PS4 is next to impossible, the PS3 was based on that weird Cell chip which makes it very hard to emulate.
