So who is getting what ? I initially went with the PS4 but having been with Microsoft since week one of the first big black box, the lure of free fifa, dead rising 3 and that controller sucked me in and I swapped I have ordered a day one xbone (fifa) with battlefield 4 I have also ordered dead rising 3 and forza Oh and booked myself an extra day off as I'm back to work the Sunday after launch (so I'm guessing I'll take delivery on the Monday at earliest ;)) Have fond memories of the original Xbox, completing kotor in one sitting and playing golf with Diddly being my two fondest. I hope my loyalty pays off |

Yeah what was that golf game we played? (memory going). Seem to remember it being dead pretty but not quite as good as TW/PGA control-wise somehow. I'll be getting both but not at launch, I found a much more worthy destination for my pre-ordered consoles than me. BTW, if anyone else has PS4 or Xbox One preordered and finds themselves slightly "meh" about the whole thing and would be prepared to wait, short of the cash required or would just like to do a nice thing please let me know in a PM. |

Links I think it was Still the most amazing moment was when the commentator actually used MY REAL NAME ! Diddly have you been given anything free xbone related in light of your gamer score Seems killer instinct (full game with all characters) is being gifted to many whilst some lucky ones have gotten a free console ! |

I pre-ordered both when they became available "just in case". But at the moment, my console of choice is the Xbox One. I managed to snag one that came with Forza for free, which isn't so bad considering how much stuff they have cut from the final game compared to older versions. 14 tracks folks.....fucking abysmal. Anyway, not got a single game ordered with the PS4,and not quite sure what I'd go for to be honest. Will see closer to launch. Got an email from MS saying they were giving me Killer Instinct for free (no actual machine sadly. Though rumour is only players with a 250,000 gamerscore have been winning those). Thing is, I couldn't give a toss about KI, but they are only gifting them to the recipient, you don't get a code that you can gift to someone else. Otherwise I'd have given mine away. Still looking forward to my Xbox One - but the lack of content in Forza has soured it somewhat I have to say. But I'll also be picking up Dead Rising 3 and Black Flag. Would have snagged Wathcdogs as well if it hadn't been delayed. |

Aha Links, yeah that was it! ![]() Nah, no freebie (I think they're doing it for selected, non-duplicator-whore gamerscores of over 200k+ so my piddling GS and 10-year tenure is nowhere near enough), although I'm playing CoD Ghosts on the Xboner right now thanks to Big Tony. 14 tracks in 5za is piss poor, and considering 4za had what, double that? and still felt repetitive as hell to me I'm a bit sad about that. Maybe Turn 10're saving tracls for DLC this time, and won't just swamp us with rip-off car packs every 5 minutes? What about Killzone Retro? It looks like the first game in the series to have more than 4 colours in the graphics! (mind you, that beats some Battlefield 4 levels by 2) ![]() I can't believe there's no first party racing game at launch for PS4 (is even NFS Rivals gonna be out?), it just proves they rushed it to beat M$ to the shelves.

I believe NFS Rivals is now a launch game, but I'd need to double check that. I think Killzone would be the PS4 game I'd go for. If only for the fact that it may well be the prettiest next gen game. Though I must admit I haven't ever had an real interest in the series. I just hope that the single player campaign is a decent length as I am not a multiplayer gamer at all when it comes to FPS's. Yeah, FM5 is a massive disappointment, and I do hope that you are right and they release track DLC's and manage to fit them into the single player challenges. |

New consoles, thought it would be a good time to pop back to GameCell. Preordered PS4 as an xmas present to my boys (and myself) Been PS3 through and through, had a 360 for kinect stuff but bugger all else. Main reasons for ordering - I know I'll get one anyway - I don't like the media angle M$ are pushing, I want a console for GAMES, thats it - struggling on xmas present ideas No games purchased yet, nothing really shines, probably get COD Ghosts as its the only game 2 of my boys actually play together split screen. Will download some of the other games. Knack is getting low LOW scores. Maybe Need for Speed & Assassins Creed. Meh! Oh yeah, hi guys whats been happening for the last 5 years or so....? |

Well, obvious question first.....where was out countdown timer to the new consoles ![]() My Xbox One will be arriving today. Don't mind the media stuff they are including, as it is a given that Sony will copy pretty much anything media-like that proves to be popular! Other than the HDMI input, the PS4 already includes the Netflix style apps etc. Got both consoles ordered, but still don't have a single game ordered for the PS4 and have no idea what to get. Still taking cursory glances at Killzone but unsure. It just hasn't ever been a game I have found to be particularly enthralling. Might still end up sending the PS4 back. Will see closer to next Friday. Excited for Xbox One today though. Forza, Dead Rising, AC4 and Need for Speed Rivals will keep me going for a while. Also got one eye on Zoo Tycoon....got to say it looks bloody good fun! |

Blimey The xbox one is not for kids. It confused me at times with the new style desktop and where things now are etc. there is a distinct lack of feedback from the console and coupled with the fact it's deadly quiet I thought mine was buggered When installing games (which is. It quick in itself) the console checks for and downloads updates automatically. However it does not tell you this. It just says installing ......... 0% This along with my 4mb Internet speed and the congestion of the servers made it look like nothing was happening So I pulled the connection for the console from the net and installed that way. This time no update checks could be made and the games just installed Then overnight I downloaded fifa and played this whilst the console downloaded the updates for my 3 physical games I'd like to tell you more but as I live dead rising so much all I can say is battlefield seems a buggy mess for the moment and I'm gonna kill zombies after doctor who has finished |

Yeah got to agree that the Xbox One is awful at actually giving you any instructions or feedback at what you should be doing. Bizarre that you need to download a small app to get instructions on the speech recognition for Kinect for example. Considering there is no manual in the box with the console, you'd think perhaps there would be a mandatory quick video guide once you are on the dash just to give you the basics. I know they want it all to be seemless and slick, with most things like updates happening in the background, but day one customers are going to be the hardcore who will want to know everything. Must admit I do like walking into the living room and telling my One to switch itself on. Nice that it starts booting up while I'm grabbing a controller and getting comfy on the couch. I'm enjoying the games so far, but Forza is a bit of a letdown I have to say. Still a nice game, but so clearly unfinished. Made a Skype call with a mate I hadn't seen in while, while Forza was downloading (thank god for 100meg connection or that would have taken a while) and it was so great to have a full screen video call with him while I waited. A simple thing, but worked very well. I didn't try feeding my Sky box through it, as he told me he had already tried it and there is a noticeable drop in picture quality with HD TV shows. Surely to god MS noticed that? Perhaps a firmware update can sort it, and perhaps it is a scaling issue, seeing as Sky is 1080i but the One is outputting at 1080P? Perhaps Dunkle knows the answer to that? But yeah, all told a really nice piece of tech and very slick once you get used to it. Just being able to quit out of a game and go back to where you were is really nice. I recall the old days where I'd be playing an RPG and the girlfriend wanting to watch tv but having to wait for me to get to a save point. None of that nonsense anymore ![]() Still not ordered a single game for my PS4 though. And still tempted by Zoo Tycoon. Just wish it was cheaper. Oh and the dashboard prices for downloadable games can fuck right off. £55 for games? No way. Having said that, the PS4 is worse...Fifa is up at £62 .....!!!!!!!!!!!!!! |

It's a 50hz 60hz thing where by the difference in frames causes the judder Various suggestions around how they will fix it (making the ui run at same speed when snapped) but each one has own issues I'm guessing it will be solved, possibly and coincidently at same time the sky guide comes out |

As I had best part of 200 quid in credit on live I did get assassins creed god knows why as I hated the others and really wanna play need for speed lol Put the games to match or be a fiver under physical purchase and I may just bite the bullet, but allow early download with just the last 100mb or so coming on launch day |

Yeah pity about the TV thing at the moment, as I get my PS4 on Friday and don't have any spare HDMI slots left. I was intending to put my Sky box through the Xbox One, but that judder issue put me off somewhat. But what really put me off, is that it doesn't work as a passthrough unless you have the Xbox One switched on! Fucking nuts. In this day and age where companies are going a little bit mental with power saving (curse the EU and power cuts on Plasma TV's) you are expected to have the Xbox One switched on using something like 100w on idle while you also have the Sky box on. Fuck that shit. |
