Dude! How can a man of your intelligence not have thought of those internet plug things that work over your house mains? Just get the faster rated ones with plug-through. Amazon have some 500meg rated ones for about £20. They really do work amazingly well. |

I use home plugs and network switches all over The only wireless use is for true wireless devices like ipad etc Homeplugs are great, much faster and more reliable Our front room has the xbox one, the blu ray, amp and xbmc running pi going into a switch which goes to a homeplug and all works great |

Yeah I'm about to order some for the bedroom as I have put my PS3 in there now, and wireless performance is dire compared to wired. Ditto with my main laptop...despite me having a 100meg internet connection I only manage maybe 45meg via wireless on my laptop. Makes a huge difference when downloading from Steam when you use wired and get the full 100meg. Whatever wireless tech Sony use, be it the PS3, PS4 or Vita is bloody dire. I can use both the Vita and 3DS in the bedroom (which is only 10 feet from the living room) and the 3DS always shows full bars, but the Vita really struggles. In fact it would only work on one specific channel, on the others it wouldn't pick up my router at all. And some here chose a Sony console only....tut tut

Wireless access problems resolved on PS4! PS4 wireless connection speed in games den (oldest sons bedroom..) : 3kbps! Moved PS4 next to router in living room: 12-18MBs Moved PS4 back into games den, but where PS3 was sitting: 3MBs (good enough) And the reason why.... PS4 is now on the left of the TV. Previously it was on the right of the TV. With the TV being directly between PS4 & router. Apparently flat scan TVs mess with wifi and block signals. Next steps, contact Virgin and find out why I am only getting 20MBs from my 60MBs connection.... |

So is the co census here XBone? I'm seriously in two minds. Fucks me off if I want to at halo and uncharted I have to buy both! But that's hardly a new issue. |

I dunno what the consensus is; like I said - I'm PS4-only as, despite my love for the XB controller, I just want a powerful Game-only machine. The controller may be a non-issue at a later date anyway - sure there'll be a 3rd party controller soon enough...or maybe go mouse + keyboard on it. Halo....well, I loved the first one and then it was just a law of diminishing returns for me after that...Titanfall is pretty much MP-only so that doesn't bother me. The one I'll miss most is Forza... |

PS4 only here for same reasons as Juz. Didn't like the multi media hub tv thing M$ were pushing. I had PS3 & 360, but the 360 was barely ever used except family kinect type stuff I also prefer the dualshocks over xbox controller but that may just be down to extended use of PS3/2/1 |

I did plump for both new consoles but, to be honest, only the Xbox One is getting any use at the moment. I played a few short seshes of Killzone on the PS4, got pissed off with the fact that you never knew if it was saving at the checkpoints or whether you would have to replay large chunks if you turned the fucker off, and jacked it in. I'm not a huge fan of the PS4 controller or the interface either - much prefer the Xbox One, particularly the voice controls. There are upcoming exclusives on the PS4 I'm looking forward to, so I'm sure it will get some use in due course, though. I'm currently playing Ryse on the One and, although it is a bit of a one-trick pony in terms of gameplay, I'm really enjoying it and don't really understand why it got such poor review scores. |

Blimey you're in an optimistic mood there fella. Thief will be shit (from what I have heard...can't say much more), Watch Dogs and Drive Club will be delayed again and MGS will be total self indulgent wank :p NOT that I think the Xbox One has anything particularly outstanding coming up. Titanfall leaves me cold with all its online stuff mingled in with single player. |

Oh well....Infamous alone makes me super-happy. I might even trade-in Killzone for a bit of Tomb Raider too, now that I've very nearly finished the SP campaign. |

Yeah of the almost sort of imminent next gen releases, Infamous looks to be the most interesting from my perspective as well. That is until Rockstar announce the Xbox One exclusive re-release of GTA V

Doh! I hope you're just taking the piss! I really enjoyed both Infamous games....despite a lot of people calling them generic, they really did feel unique to me. Edited by Juz, Feb 8 2014, 11:01 AM.
