Anyone Pre-ordered the PS4 or XBOX ONE?

I pre-ordered an Xbox One when I found out they were available to reserve.

I think the Xbox has caught up now it's gone back to a more traditional way of buying games. To be fair the PS3 outshone the 360 for a good while but overall the 360 teared the PS3 a new one! It might be reversed this time round but I've never fancied a Playstation since I had my PS2 for some reason.

 

I wonder if people are still stuck on the fact that the Xbox would need a permanent connection to the internet and wouldn't be able to play secondhand games, even though they've now backed down from that position?

 

PlayStation all the way for me ...
Since Microsoft done the u turn the Xbox does look a bit more attractive but Sony has won on price and philosophy. I want a games machine for a hardcore game player, that means I don’t need Kinect or Move.
Battlefield 4
Watchdog
The only problem I foresee is when the titles are out on both old and new platforms and your mates have a mixture of console platforms, which game version do you buy?

 

I hardly understand all the fuss about the permanent internet connection, nowadays just about everyone has wireless internet and my xbox has been permanently connected since the day I bought it. I suppose if you don't have internet then you are stuffed, but I would've thought that was pretty rare now :/

 

Very true but it was how it was perceived - example Mr & Mrs X want to buy a Xbox for little tommy upstairs, the xbox will go upstairs and the internet connection is downstairs. (maybe they're not aware of wireless connections & homeplugs, maybe they don't want the additional cost or the kid going online) I know the US military kicked off about it to, none of the personel would be able to use when station abroad?

 

I will look at ordering a PS4 tomorrow (I have a day off)

MW4, I hope will be on the new platform! and of course GT6..

 

I pre ordered the ps4, mainly down to the fact ive always had playstations from day 1. Never been a fan of the xbox and I wasnt impressed with the whole no second hand games etc.

 

Was just thinking about this. My PS4 dies a few months ago and I stopped the urge to replace it.

Where is everyone pre-ordering from? Are you getting guaranteed launch date delivery or collection? Any good launch day bundles about?

Im really looking forward to getting my hands on one. Haven't played any type of computer game in months!

 

^^^ cheers for this, might preorder myself one now. Got an original 60gb which I could chop in, I'll keep the slim one

 

I thought those original backward compatible PS3's were worth a fair few quid? My brothers always bleating on about it!

 

Being a more mature gamer :-) I have had at least 3 of each consol in my time buy one get board gt5 comes out get another not as good as forza sell it again Wii was for the kids hell I had 4 working rigged up Xbox in most rooms at one point how many can say they used to play cod2 yes cod2 not mw2 it was great before kids got a grip of it then it got silly too may kids and idiots on, anyhow off topic I will preorder Xbox have not yet but will, Ps I got a windows phone at launch to get Xbox on it :-)

My 2p worth John.

 

Put my ps4 pre order in at TESCO, would only trust a big place like them. Wouldn't trust a place like Game.

 

I have to wait until January to buy because I'm working out the country until then! I'm torn at the moment, I did pre order xbox but cancelled it because I wouldn't be here for the release date!

 

PS4 all the way for me, drive club looks amazing, FIFA 14 is also coming out next Gen should be mega.

 

I will get a next gen console at some point, but until I see a 'killer app' game I'm in no rush. Far more excited about GTA V

When I do buy, it will more than likely be Xbox simply down to the controller. I have had a PS1 & PS2, but to my mind the MS controller is miles better - makes so much difference.

When Xbox One was announced with all the apparent shortcomings, I really didn't think any of them were bad. Internet connection I always have and I never bother with 2nd hand games. Only the price being $100 more had me thinking.

 

got my XBone on pre-order with Forza 5 / BF4 and Fifa 14 cant wait

 

Lucky bugga... I want them but can't afford them yet maybe next year.. and I'd probably get both lol... love forza games and I prefer PS for free online gaming lol ...currently addicted to gta online which is surprisingly fun!!

 

You have to pay for on line gaming on the ps4 but it has not put me off pre ordering one !

 

Really? So what playstation network is no longer free? That's rubbish

 

As far as i know you will req a playstation+ account @ £50 per year

 

Would go for xbox1 personally think there online servers will be better. PS3 servers crashed all the time. Looking forward for BF4, Forza 5 and halo 4.

not ordered one tho...yet...£400+ Is quite steep at the min. It's either the next gen console or stage 1 remap..... Decisions decisions

 

PS4 online and having to pay needs a little clearing up, from what i hear its much like the same as the PS3. Some games will be free to play, an example being sonys MMO DC online, i would assume another example being Call of duty being free. Developers can charge like on the PS3 but they dont. All a tad strange and needs more explaining by sony.

 

well been playing forza 5 and have to say WOW!!!! the graphics are just imense and the feedback from the controller is spot on
you can feel the tyres slipping and the brakes grabbing and modulate to get back in shape

 

Didn't pre order, but hoping January sales may yield some form of discount! Definitely Xbox one though for forza and the whole 'Xbox on' chat!!

 

Yep looking forward to friday!

 

My xbox kinect bar is already broke lol - waiting for a replacement!

There's been reports of issues with the day one kinect bars so in theory any from now on will be ok.

 

Not sure what to make of the PS4 really.... Think I have to say I can clearly see the potential of it, but with the lack of launch titles and limits of its OS it currently isn’t anything special.
Two points personally grate the most:
I still have to use my PS3 for a 3D blu ray player and I still have to use my PS3 if I want to play Call of Duty with wireless Bluetooth chat, what part of that makes the PS4 the next gen?
Down side of being an early adopter I guess but a fully expect the games of the future to prove the system.

 

Thought Sony were suppose to sort out the whole 3d blu ray player thing in a future release?

 

Lots of things are suppose to be sorted in the future but that hardly makes it next gen now.
