Other than Microsoft's use of The Hives track 'Come On', PS4 all the way.

Remember those days...gaming and technology just couldn't get better....Just like when betamax and VHS players came out, nothing will ever match this technology!

ZX Spectrum with the tape deck was good. And Monkey Island on an Amiga has only been beaten by Ocarina of Time on N64. Computer games ceased to exist of that pinnacle in my eyes.

The best games on the Commodore platforms (64 / Amiga) was The Last Ninja series of games.

And Microsoft suck. Why anybody chooses to go with a company that charges for online play I do not know. But I do know they amuse me with their foolishness.

If you desire quality you have to pay for it.

You're in for a shock when you buy your PS4 then, good thing PS+ gives out good free games every month. :lol:

Nope, I've ordered neither as of yet as I'm still enjoying my PC. Considering there are rumours that the Xbone's ESRAM is this generation's Cell CPU which makes it harder to develop for multiplatform games. Some multiplatform games will be lower resolution, this is backed up by COD: Ghosts review embargo is the 12th when the Xbone releases rather than the 5th because it runs on 720p on XBoxe as others run on 1080p. If I had to chose I'd get a Playstation 4.

Only some third party games will charge. And as GTA5 is the first I've really played online since Red Dead Redemption I think I might be ok :D
