JasonR24 Posted November 14, 2013 Share Posted November 14, 2013 Thanks for your valuable input into this thread, this was covered(thoroughly) several pages ago. Both consoles look really pitiful really... Not worth the money, think ill be switching to PC where I can actually put my own media on to a hard drive.

Big Supes Posted November 15, 2013 Share Posted November 15, 2013 It has to be said, if I wanted Indie games, I would have stuck with my 360, but I can see how they're filling the gap for the PS4. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This is a big point against Microsoft IMO. Being developer and cross platform unfriendly just makes them look pathetic. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Big Supes Posted November 15, 2013 Share Posted November 15, 2013 I'd be willing to bet that wasn't an issue. This would have been about money and the share of profits. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Big Supes Posted November 15, 2013 Share Posted November 15, 2013 If I had proof, I wouldn't be betting mate. Its just the likely scenario as I can't see Xbox allowing a free game to be promoted from their brand whilst the studio cream the profits. Its just not good for business.

It's fantastic for console sales. Incentives for buying a product have been around since the dawn of production. Must admit I've not played the game before but the fact that users can buy the console and enjoy freebies is a VERY good angle as far as marketing goes. The games will sell themselves regardless of the console, the amount of consoles sold determines which platform is going to sell the most titles.

JasonR24 Posted November 15, 2013 Share Posted November 15, 2013 I'm surprised that people have even pre ordered these consoles after seeing the launch of the Xbox 360. Most bugged/faulty console ever released at launch. I would urge people to wait and make them fix the problems that they probably already know about....

I can see what you are saying, my 360 died 3 times, but Microsoft were great, they sent replacements with a returnable box It never cost me anything, but a bit inconvenience and they gave me freebies as an apology each time From memory I had 2 free games an offical steering wheel and 12 months xbox live I would rather the little inconvenience that not bother getting a console for an undetermined time Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
j_jza80 Posted November 15, 2013 Share Posted November 15, 2013 I was going to buy an Xbox one at launch for Forza, but given how good Gran Turismo 6 looks on PS3, I can bide my time and see how the two new consoles fare. I'm still uncomfortable with Microsofts attitude towards gamers though, and one of their call centre operatives calling me a liar really doesn't help.

Scott Posted November 15, 2013 Share Posted November 15, 2013 ....and one of their call centre operatives calling me a liar really doesn't help. What happened there? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
j_jza80 Posted November 15, 2013 Share Posted November 15, 2013 What happened there? When I set up my 360, I entered my Barclays VISA debit card details in the console. I joined Xbox live, and paid for the service and various games and add ons for 2 years. When my 3rd year renewal came up, it repeatedly refused to accept my card details. I gave the Xbox hotline a call and explained my problem, and the woman said that I had to use a credit card. I explained that I had always used a debit card on Xbox live, as I didn't own a credit card. She said that was impossible, and I must be mistaken. I explained that no one in my house had a credit card at the time, and I could send copies of bank statements to prove I'd been charged to a debit card, to which she said that my claims were untrue, and she couldn't help. I used my Xbox online almost daily with friends upto then, but haven't used it once online since. I've used my PS3 online ever since, used my debit card for purchases (but no subscription fees with Playstation) and had no issues whatsoever.

I'd have taken that all the way with her. I bought an XBLive gold package for a year, I barely used it though so I ended up just letting it lapse. Recently I took on the PS+ subscription and I'm over the moon with it. I've already downloaded and played 8 games completely free over both my PS3 and PSVita, really good value for money...... still don't play anything online though Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
neilp9876 Posted November 16, 2013 Share Posted November 16, 2013 I hadn't realised you had to have a live gold account just to access Netflix, what's that about? Also it seems the xbone is getting cinavia so good luck to those people who like playing copied films! A good thread but I don't think either console has me excited, maybe after Xmas.

JasonR24 Posted November 16, 2013 Share Posted November 16, 2013 Have been watching footage from both consoles now they're released and tbh I'm really disappointed. I've seen better from supposed last gen games on PC. oh well save myself some money and put it towards a supra! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Septic Posted November 16, 2013 Author Share Posted November 16, 2013 The reviews for the PS4 launch have been mediocre. I think the X1 is where it's at. Less than a week left!! http://www.gameondaily.com/playstation-4-greatness-delayed/ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Less than a week left!! http://www.gameondaily.com/playstation-4-greatness-delayed/ As they are both the same really. Xbone is actually only 720p that would mean it will be just as bad if not worse.... Disappointed... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
a98pmalcolm Posted November 16, 2013 Share Posted November 16, 2013 I think with the PS4 having better hardware its it makes it a little more future proof. But with killzone and NFS (plus all the extra games you get for free with PS+) I'm happy with the game line up.. Infamous, Driveclub destiny and watchdogs looks good for next year They announced a new Uncharted.. I nearly sex wee'd watching the launch when they announced that. Thats worth a PS4 in its self. Eye tracking in development looks super cool! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I would have gone xbox one if it offered more, its an awesome console but the PS4 always had that extra zest... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
