iMaGiiKz_v2 I love xbox 360 way more than ps3,But this time i think im going with the ps4


Same with me. I just don't feel like paying $500 for the same thing as PS4. Yes I do realize Xbox One has a good amount of more features than PS4 but still. A 500gb hard drive for PS4, yeah I'll be glad to pay $400 and PlayStation Plus every month. Now we are pretty much even with Microsoft.



Same thing? You sir, are wrong. You do realized that Xbox one going to have tons of stuff than play station, that's why we called it all-in-one games & eniterments. Ps4 is gonna be mostly game, which is boring.


Yeah, my video gamr console playing video games is terribly boring...


So you're saying you want to play games 24/7 for life? Xbox provides better entertainment and gaming, simple. If you don't wanna play, just watch TV or chat on skype with friends, browse the internet while watching a video.

That incredibly creative in my opinion.


How is that creative. I could plug my gaming pc into my tv and boom. Something ten times better then what the actual xbox one is. All I need is a tv tuner and I can use my cable or satellite to instantly watch tv. Its not creative at all. When I buy a gaming console I am buying it to play games. Buying it for movies or surfing the web is ridiculous. Thats like buying a mac over a windows computer when all you plan on doing is surfing the web.


Not everyone can afford a gaming PC or a blu ray player or any other stuff that's why with the xbox one its more affordable with what you get.

I'm not saying I can't afford these things but other people can't and everyone needs to look at it financially and see if you really do get more bang for your buck.

I'm talking to everyone that quoted me not just you.


To be honest if you're buying the Xbox one you clearly have enough money to buy the other stuff on top. The difference in price between a playstation 4 and xbox one could buy you a blu ray player mate, and assuming you're not mentally handicapped you probably already have a television so that wouldn't be the problem. You don't need a gaming pc to watch videos or use skype. Your argument is invalid.


You don't need a gaming console to watch videos or use Skype either so your point makes no sense!

Oh and PC's are generally cheap to get (If you build from scratch, which most PC gamers do) You're looking at about 500 pounds for a decently high-end gaming PC, if you know where to look of course!

The PS4 and Xbox One are neck & neck.

Aggie I really dont know which one is better. they both seem the same.


get the xbox one if you want something that will limit you, the stopping of second hand games so you cant loan games or resell them. not being able to play on it for longer than 24 hours without internet even on singleplayer games, kinect sensor allways on, slower ram and more ive probably missed out. or you could get the ps4 which is cheaper, focused on games, doesn't limit you and is the most powerful console! so yeah there not the same


Why does everyone keep going on about the ram! It will not be very noticeable and won't add to your gaming experience!The games will run about the same on both consoles, maybe the exclusives might be able to utilise the ram but thats about it. Sony haven't shown yet whether or not they have party chat, what the actual interface looks like probably because its **** just like the PS3's interface was **** and laggy! Who cares about connecting online to play a game, its bad for the minority of people who don't have internet yes but most people do have internet, and as for the used games thing microsoft went full ****** there making users pay a fee to play a friend's game.

You clearly know nothing about how hardware works. Having 7GB compared to 5GB will give better performance. Second, you're clearly a biased little ***** who thinks Microsoft is god.


You too clearly no nothing about how hardware works, my friend. Each type of RAM is advantageous in different areas, you can't assume 7GB of RAM will completely destroy 5GB of RAM just because it has a larger number in front of it.


There is no fee to play a friends game at all and for the whole selling thing that isn't up to Microsoft, its up to the publisher. Also to share a game you don't have to hand the other person a disc they just go into you shared library and start playing game. See what people are failing to realize is that we can install are discs now and no longer need them. We can literally throw them away. When you buy a disc you do not own that game. You are actually buying physical rights to play that game. The PS4 runs GPU and the Xbox one runs CPU to different things. Its ok to be a fanboy but at least get your facts straight when you try and prove a point. A lot of this info that keeps popping up is old as **** and has been clarified so a lot of this **** is invalid. One simple thing know your own system before trying to bash another. Oh and I will be buying both systems so i'm not a fanboy lol


Lol this is the single most retarded comment ever.

Please, tell me where "The PS4 runs GPU and the Xbox one runs CPU to different things" makes sense. Get your facts straight, fanboy.


both of you dont know anything about ram. ram is not gonna do **** for the game itself. its for all the stuff in the background. ex. switching back and forth from tv to xbox. either way most games are made for xbox first then ported to ps and pc


did you really say ram wont do anything to your gaming experience?.... God please read a book you retarded flea.


-_-
There getting cheated out of $30-$60 in the uk


Please tell me that you all realise that the PS4 is going to be using GDDR5 whilst the Xbox is going to be using DDR3. The main difference between the two RAM chips is that the GDDR5 is an enhanced version of the DDR3. The GDDR5 can also process graphics as well as program processes. This means that devs can put more graphics requirements into their games than what they would be able to do with the Xbox.

I am personally going with the ps4 too but you guys have to stop blindly being a fanboy. Almost all pc games use less than 4 gb of ram, most not even 3, because of this xbox one will have more than enough ram for games, AND have more for the os/multitasking. This will lead to a smoother system. Also GDDR5 an ddr5 is NOT the same thing, ddr5 is helps the gpu more, but most people's high end gaming pc's use ddd3 not ddr5. Please stop being a blind ps4 fanboy, i believe its the better system but back up your facts please.
