Anyone get or getting one?

From what I've read so far, the ps4 seems pretty good if you get a working unit. Seems most of the defective ones have been via Amazon.com (from what I've seen). Many complained of poor packaging and damaged boxes. The most common issue was a blue light of death (you'd figure that would happen to Microsoft's XBOX :K)

It seems the new Ps4 controller is a vast improvement from the reviews I've read. People are raving about it.

Ps4 features superior hardware and runs games in 1080p, while the XBOX runs in native 720p , with the 'ability' to run in 1080. Not sure how that all works or how it affects the look of the game.


One thing i don't like about the XBOX is Kinect. It seems a gimmicky way to charge another 100 bux for something you're forced to have and forced to keep on 24/7. With some reports coming out about MS working with the NSA etc. and logging Skype calls etc. from XBOX users, this may turn a lot of people off. Probably overblown , but the story is out there nevertheless.

Ps4 seems more focused on gaming , while Xbox seems focused on other things such as watching tv, interaction, the ability to multi-task with split screens while gaming etc. PSN is also charging people to use it's network now. Hopefully it will have vast improvements, as I've always heard XBOX live is far superior.

I currently have the 360 and the PS3. In the first couple years of ownership, I used the 360 far more than the PS3 simply because the 360 was modified. Once I got the PS3 modified, I started using that one mostly because I didn't have to burn games for it. My only complaint is that the 360 has a huge power brick.

As for the Xbox One and the PS4, I'm not exactly sure which I'll get first. I do plan on getting one, if not both. It just depends on which system I can get modified.

If I get either it will be the PS4.
My friends who have used Xbox 360 all say it's an amazing console. As for the Xbox One.... No. I would not pay an extra $100 for a glorified webcam. I have a $20 Logitech webcam that records in 720p.
PC will always be "go-to" for games though.

I wish I could have afforded a few pre-release units. They are selling on ebay for 550-650$

It'll probably go up if they are sold out around Xmas time. I thought that's when the ps3 was seeing the huge prices. Either way, i think anyone who overpays by hundreds of $ simply because they can't wait another few weeks is an idiot.

I'm actually thinking of getting a PS3 after Christmas with any giftcards or cash I get lol.

Think of how cheap one will be!

PS4 for myself. Mostly due to the fact that i'm very used to ps3 controler and xbox was never really my thing + some of xbox live staff are not mature enough to resolve a dispute.

I just read that the ps4 has sold over 1 million units so far. Five x the amount of PS3's sold after the same time period. Wonder if this is the reason they aren't grossly over-inflated on Ebay.

@Nick. Check craiglist/Ebay. Is a bit of a risk, especially on Craiglist to get a used one, but if you look and are careful, you can find very cheap used unit.

Just took a quick glance on Ebay. ps3 slims are going for under 200 bux. One sold for $129. Not too shabby.
