Crikey there always someone having a moan. So what if they want to play video games! If you don't like them why the hell do you bother coming on a thread about XBox One v PS4?

The clue is in the title.

:thumbsup: :rofl:

+1 on this OG. :thumbsup:
 
I think they don't seem to be getting smaller because they are trying to make the consoles multimedia stations rather than just a game console with a disc drive.

Found my first disappointment with the XB1 last night as I plugged my USB stick on to watch some downloaded US TV episodes.

As it is, the XB1 doesn't provide any media playing functions other than those built into the music or video apps.

Seems the XB360 will be staying plumbed in for a while.

Forza 5 looks stunning, but the anti-aliasing needs work as you can see jagged edges and breaks when it does a slow mo around the car.

Installing things can take FOREVER though. I couldn't play FM5 until it had done a 6gb 'update' and that took 6 hours on a 130mb connection. I'm hoping this sort of server congestion won't be the norm as I've got a huge FIFA download to do too.

definitely keepoing my XB360s as DVD entertainment machines in the bedrooms!!!


people still use dvds???

I use a small computer to watch movies etc with, hooked up via hdmi

My son, who works for Activision, says the ps4 is an amazing machine. Big improvements over the ps3.

whats he say about the xbox one?

He says compared to the PS4, its "dogshit" (I bought him up better than that, honest)

He says they are both similar spec but the ps4 outperforms the Xbox. Plus the Xbox keeps chewing the discs.
Sony have taken all the great things from the ps3, improved them then added more. Xbox have improved by just removing the bad things about the old Xbox. Also the Xbox is massive in size compared to ps4.

Oh well............my Xbox One must be s**t then. There's £400 down the drain. :thumbsdown:
 
Pre-ordered a PS4 last weekend. Then cancelled the order on the Wednesday. Think I might see how this all plays out first after owning many consoles in the past including the PS3 and 360. Incidentally, in my humble opinion the online capability of the 360 was streets ahead of the PS3 (even though you paid for it!). Really interested to hear what people think of both units over the next few months and will be watching closely.
 
Not my opinion Jimbo, sorry. I'm sure it's a cracking piece of kit.
Don't forget he's in the industry so will be very picky.

I never take any notice of my kids so don't you either. :D

Me too. I was gonna go with the 360 but having seen a few reviews on the PS4 Sony will be getting my money. Also the Mrs will go bat s**t if I try and put a third console in the living room, so I can swap out PS3 for PS4 and play all the old stuff on the 360. :lol:
 
Aside from much improved graphics - what else is the PS4 offering me over the 3 - bang for buck?

Cheers Carol......I'll go outside and get it out of the dustbin then. :D
 
They could have made the xbox one much smaller, this is pretty classic Mircosoft design. The 360 had the graphics chip underneath the drive leading to warped discs... They were just lazy with the design which allows a smaller thinner one to be made. All marketing. But with all the early problems of the Xbox 360 (mine got ring of death within a year so I just didn't bother with them again) Apparently the design is for longevity, lots of space for heat dissipation… Yet we can make massively powerful mobile devices without fans… hmm call their bluff on this one.

Not sure about the PS4, with it already having red light issues… maybe its compact sleek look doesn't aid.

All true. I read that MS made a loss on every xbox they sold and also they were very aware of the ring of death error being often heat related. Got mine replaced after 2 years i think.
 
But both consoles are huge in my opinion. That Xbox picture looks like a clean inside though!

How long till Sony shrink it, like they've done will all their previous consoles? Or is it for heat issues as mentioned?
