Help on new game console choice...

[chry*bmb]

Ok guys. I've lost my gaming edge since baby #3 [emoji23] Or should I say baby #4? Damn puppy is worse than kids sometimes, lol!!

Don't get me wrong, I still play, but my hardcore days of all-nighters and camping out for the new games and new systems are over! I'ver seriously had probably every game system that has ever been out there.

My dilemma now? Currently own a XBox360 And want a new system for my boys. Not happy that the Xbox One wasn't compatible with the old games UNTIL they are putting out this "so-called" patch in December, but it's not going to be all of the games righf now. Least that's what I heard when I looked into it. Currently have A LOT of 360 games and that would piss me off if I go to put down 4C notes on a system and I can't let my lil man play his games.

So that brings me to the PS4. My lasr Playstation was a PS2. Still have it and would love to go into a new PS4.

Just wanted some input from fellow gamers here. Need the new COD, lol. Xbox One or PS4? Which is the better system for games? How about DVD or is it a Blu-Ray? Forgot to research. Been on an XBox for awhile now. Is it time to defect full-time? I don't know how to put a poll. Maybe the almighty TCG forum GOD can put one in here for me [emoji7]

PS 4
XBox One

Have you considered the Wii U?

 

[chry*bmb]

That's the handheld one, right?

 

[IDAFC21]

Sort of, yes. i was joking tho. No one likes the wii u

I don't see a benefit of a PS4 over X1 in your situation. Sure all x360 games aren't back compat right now, but they'll add more and more as time goes on. You'll have plenty of new games to play while waiting for x360 games to be bc.

 

[chry*bmb]

Lmfao!! That's some funny stuff!!

Right now the games that are mainly played out of the disc library are the COD ones (have them all minus the new one, and Rainbow Six).

Thanks. I'll see how this plays out...

 

[importcrew]

Orrrrrrrr........buy both. You'll get the best of both worlds.

im going with a ps4 as soon as i find a holiday bundle deal.
all your old playstation games work, its a media center, its a web browser, and playstation network is free, compared to having to pay yearly for xboxlive.

Network is free, but many online games require PS+ which is basically the same as live...

To me, it all boils down to where people you know are playing. Everyone in my family and all my friends are on PS, so that's where I've always played.

All boils down to games you like (console exclusives) and if you have online friends.

Someone linked an article to me on Facebook saying that Sony is working on ps2 emulation on the ps4. While xbone is working on 360 BC. So it's all preference to your gaming needs.

the only thing ive ever paid for extra was game add-ons.

For the ps4 you need the plus package to play games online.

fuck... for realz? what games require that?

 

[FESTER665]

fuck... for realz? what games require that?

To fully play games like Destiny, COD, Star Wars Battlefront, etc....

There's many games that don't require it as well, but some games do require it to take full advantage of the game...

 

[daturbosix]

shit.

 

[chry*bmb]

For Xbox, the COD maps were just updates iirc, but thats because we have Live, which is the only thing we pay for. I appreciate ALL of this info!! Good to know about the PS4, because I don't know about Sony's stuff...

Just got home from sams club and they have a 299 uncharted bundle for Black Friday or a 389 for a Star Wars battlefront and extra controller bundle.

 

[Shocker]

I ordered a Forza 6 bundle from target last week. 399 bundle + $50gc + free game which I picked wwe2k16. Post office lost the game, I contacted target... Instant 59.99gc, and the game could still show up hopefully. I just ordered a 12 month live card fur $34 off eBay.

 

[Lord Tin Foilhat]

$Threehundo Ain't bad for that bundle. I wouldn't pay more then $200 but that's because there's only a handful of games I care to play on PS.

They both are good systems and offer roughly the same experience. Hardware wise, Xbox has HDMI passthrough which is nice for TV integration. Other then that...choose the system with the games you like the most that are exclusive titles to that system...that's the way I've done it lol

If COD is all you care about, The PS4 now gets all the new map packs and add ons exclusively before they're released on xbox. Something to think about. And no matter what system you get you'll be paying for service to play games online. But you can always find deals on yearly subscriptions out there. If you're paying more than 30 bucks you're doing it wrong

this PS4 already had a bug, grrrr. aparently it's kinda a known problem what I've been finding out? "no disc inserted" with a code of CE-33191-7...

my disc WAS in there, lol. So I found out how to open it up manually and eject the disc. Then the PS4 simply wouldn't accept ANY discs at all and would just give that same error code. ...

SO I am pretty pissed with this BRAND new console. The PS research I've seen is pretty ridiculous, I'm not doing what it says to get it to work. This damn thing is only 2 months old! Tinkered enough with it. Rrminds ne of XBox and their RROD issues!

Any PS4 owners have this code too?

PS: I'll be calling Sony this week

 

[IDAFC21]

Never had that issue w/ my PS4

 

[chry*bmb]

it's just always my luck Paul
