Next generation consoles coming out at the end of the year with Microsofts xbox one and Sonys PS4 being the main contenders.
Anyone planning on getting either or and if so which one?
I think i will be getting a xbox one when i hustle up enough money i think about 700ish with ps4 being $100 cheaper .
I am welcoming anyone who could possibly persuade me to go for ps4 tho cause the two cant really be seperated by much
Ps4 by a landslide. Cheaper, better and hasnt gone the way of XBox has with DRM - you can still rent/buy 2nd hand/borrow games.
In a weak moment I preordered mine.
I used to have a PS2 and when that crapped out after umpteen years of use, I switched to an Xbox 360. I love it BUT I will not/will refuse to buy the new Xbox One. A rip off if ever I saw. If I was going to upgrade, I'd definately go for the PS4.
Yip the PS4 is clearly better than the 'X-Bone'
Would reccomend everyone stay away from that thing
but what about halo 5 and destiny oh and ryse all are going to be so good and i wont be able to play without an xbox one
If its worth nearly a grand for you to play halo, then go for it :p
Problems with xbox one
- Must be online every 24 hours
- Can sell used games
- Cant let friends borrow games
- More expensive than playstation

Didn't Bungee recently say that Destiny is going to be cross-platform?
PS4 for me, always been a playstation fan, even thou a few of the lads went to xbox a while back I stayed with it. And now 3 of them are coming back to the PS after microsofts effort. Just like Tegal I have pre ordered mine.

your right about borrowing games but you can do it once ( not sure how this works tho)
must be online all the time well that's not hard is it i mean who dosn't have internet these days
plus i have kept all my 360 games i dont sell them
since when is a kinect set worth $100.00?? given the online requirements and non game shareability that $100.00 is a lot.

What if you move house.
Also if you wanted to try a game before buying, you can't do that anymore.
Ps4 is the better gaming console, Xbox one is an entertainment console.
also there are reviews and demos you can read/play before buying games
i cant see much of a difference in the two

I have a privacey concern with the XBox One. has to be on all the time? Kinnect Camera. Great way to watch what people do in their own home, data gathering. I may well be wrong of course but just throwing the suggestion out there for consideration. anyone hacking your account could be watching you 24/7.
why would anyone wanna just sit there and watch people gaming ?i think this is just some fanboys way of getting people over to ps4. Watching you ? seriously !!

Kinect 2 can recognise facial expressions, heart rate and tries to estimate the mood of not only the player but others in the room
Could easily see Kinect as an amazing tool for market research for microsoft.
yes you should worry as the xbox one will transform into a killing machine and kill you first and then everyone else in the house.
That's not scary that's cool as
Pre ordered PS4 from EB Games last week. I'm a Sony fanboy I won't lie. PS1 - PS4 for me !
I will point you guys over to nzgameshop.com for all your games and accessories. They ship from the UK but it takes about 4 days and everything is cheap as chips. I got 'The Last Of Us' yesterday morning. Ordered it on Wednesday......... amazing game as well if you are thinking about getting it.
Who's excited about 'Watch Dogs' and 'Battlefield 4' ?? WOOP WOOP !!!!
Yep I preordered watchdogs to come with my ps4. Looks brilliant.
Xbox One does a 180 on DRM
An internet connection will not be required to play offline Xbox One games – after a one-time system set-up with a new Xbox One, you can play any disc based game without ever connecting online again. There is no 24 hour connection requirement and you can take your Xbox One anywhere you want and play your games, just like on Xbox 360.
Trade-in, lend, resell, gift, and rent disc based games just like you do today – there will be no limitations to using and sharing games, it will work just as it does today on Xbox 360.
Games will be available from Xbox Live on day of release, and these will be able to be played offline.
Xbox One games will be playable on any Xbox One console – there will be no regional restrictions.
The Xbox One’s sharing functionality has also been altered: the sharing of games will work as it does today – gamers will simply share the disc. Downloaded titles cannot be shared or resold. Also, similar to today, playing disc based games will require that the disc be in the tray.
yea i read this today even better news now definatly stamps my xbox one order now bring on halo 5

I went into noel leemings the other day to pre order and they said Sony have exhausted their pre order allocation? Was keen to get flybuys with it since its going to be the same price everywhere.
Fifa 14 coming with every preorder of the Xbox One, pre-loaded on consoles hard drive like the good old days of Alex the Kid.
I was told today NOT to buy a PS4 before Feb. Apparently you are going to get fuck all in the box as the hype of being one of the first to own one will do the selling. But after February, they're gonna come with a lot more "extras" than the first release which will be a bare basic. You know, come with 3 or 4 games, extra controller etc.Allegedly of course but it was from someone who sells the consoles/
It is still cheaper to buy a ps4 and FIFA 14 !!
Most of the kinect 2.0 features will not work in NZ at launch. More info will come on this.
Lonegunman, The PS4 is sold out now and you won't be able to get it until next year anyway. But I would almost put my balls on it not coming bundled with games and a controller next Feb. Sony have never done this even back to the PS1 until at least couple of YEARS after launch. Even that was just 1 game and 1 controller at most.
Oh and one more thing, Sony are making an Oculus Rift type headgear for the PS4. if you don't know what that is you should research it. Amazing technology !
Its not fact until you put your balls on it. Almost isnt good enough.
I'll put one on the line. there you go.
I'd like a PS4 but will sit back and wait. Happy enough with my limited edition Star Wars Xbox., If that had a bluray player instead of the standard CDrom, it'd be perfect.
It's release month. getting excited.
I have buyers remorse.
But will probably get excited again when it gets shipped!
just have a look at these screenshots comparisons of MLB the show between the PS4 and PS3. just amazing. should banish the buyer's remorse instantly.

WANT!
Cheers that worked!
Bloody americans only have to wait one more week.
