Wow, PS4 just decimated the Xbox One

I thought they said something about having PS3 games "in the cloud" so you could play them on the PS4? Not all titles obviously, but select ones.

I was hoping you could play CoD cross platform since game comes out around launch, I mean, it's not like it is impossible (FFXI was PC, PS2 and I think the original Xbox)
 
Pre-ordered mine through Futureshop.ca... even if I don't get one during launch, I'll get it whenever they have enough in stock to send one to me. Saves me the time and trouble of waiting in line and they won't charge my CC until it is on route.

It shows as sold out on FT and BB now... I saw quantities go up and down on best buy, so depends if they're confirming warehouse orders or not.

Regardless, Futureshop has a pre order special of $10 off per game or $20 off each if you order 3 or more. Not a bad deal.
 
Gran Turismo is what sold me on the first Playstation. Gran Turismo for PS4 will the final nail in the coffin for Xbox one.

Glad someone understands that consoles aren't magic. At least Sony TRIED last time.

I get it but last time they had it working and then half way through 80gb production they decided it won't work? I know many people who have held on to their old ps3's for this reason. Like I said not all are gamers. My buddy has kept his and all his ps2 games for his kids and to them it's the coolest thing ever. I'm sure something could have been done to not have to buy the games all over again but that's how they make their money. Just won't be getting it from me is all.

finally got on a computer, so heres my take.

YES, ps4 right now sounds way better than xbox. The things right now that are going for it are the used games and the graphics (which we knew was always better).

In lieu of saying this, there are some things that pick my mind. If we all recall the great PSN hack, where accounts were compromised, will you still trust their security knowing you have to pay for PS Plus? I hope theres in-store subscribtions you can purchase. I dont know if I trust PSN yet to leave my credit card number on there. Also, the price point sketches me out. ps3 was priced higher when it came out but we knew that it was a far superior product. And while the same holds true with these next gen consoles, theyve done the exact opposite and priced it lower than xbox. Hopefully the quality still reflects this. Sony will probably sell these at a loss, similar to ps3. It was only until a couple years ago that ps3 started selling at a profit.

i think the only thing going for me on xbox was MGS5. sad that metal gear didnt make an appearance, i think it is a key cornerstone of playstation. It seems like the presentation was really targetting microsoft, ending e3 with bungie presentation and the kick to the balls on xbox one.

I agree. I think Sony knows they messed up really badly in that hacking scandal though and are trying to make up for it and they're doing the right thing.

Not going to lie, I think I'm going to preorder the PS4 too.
 
I agree, I will be getting the PS4 before the XBOX 1 I have over 500 games sitting on a shelf for all other previous consoles...so far to date my favorite online game is Team Fortress 2 for the 360 I have been playing it or years lol!
 
I have 4 preorders for the PS4 :D

Online pre-ordering is not a guarantee and in person means you'll have to spend 6+hours in line for the midnight release.

I pre-ordered 5 games on Futureshop.ca online... it's basically buy 2 get one free. Don't really care when they come in.

Eh, I remember when the 360 and Wii U came out my online preorder got to me within 2 days of release. Good enough for me, specially since when the 360 came out online wasn't all that refined.
 
I haven't played a game since I discovered boobies

looks like MS just alienated every military. plus the military probably doesn't like the listening features of the kinect. telling them to buy a 360 is like a slap in the face. it would be similar to being told that you have to ride the kiddy coaster instead of the regular coaster because the company didn't like your military ID

http://www.armytimes.com/article/20...030/New-Xbox-sin-against-all-service-members-

[h=1]New Xbox 'a sin against all service members'[/h][h=2]Microsoft says troops should use old gear instead[/h]Navy Lt. Scott Metcalf was eagerly awaiting the arrival of the new Xbox One. Now he’s not even sure if he’ll buy one.
Indeed, for many in the military, the next-gen Xbox console may offer more endemic frustration than grand epic gaming, particularly for those deployed downrange, aboard ships and stationed overseas.
Xbox One, Microsoft’s much-anticipated new console, got its big reveal at the Electronic Entertainment Expo gamers’ convention in Los Angeles. Company honchos are confident it will come to dominate living rooms over the next decade not only as the gaming delivery vehicle of choice, but also with a barrage of other content, including a suite of apps, streaming video and music.
There’s one big but, however: To get all this entertainment awesomeness, the console will have to check in online with the Microsoft mothership at least once a day.
“With Xbox One you can game offline for up to 24 hours on your primary console, or one hour if you are logged on to a separate console accessing your library. Offline gaming is not possible after these prescribed times until you re-establish a connection,” an Xbox spokesperson tell Military Times.
[h=3]Showstoppers[/h]Metcalf called that a “showstopper” for any service members who rely on their Xbox for off-duty diversions downrage, in the field, or at sea.
Which is to say, just about everyone.
And it gets worse for on-the-go troops. The Xbox One:
■ Can play only in Xbox One-friendly countries. Even if you’re lucky enough to have a regular, reliable Internet connection while overseas, you’ll have to be in one of 21 countries included in Microsoft’s server network. So, if you’re stationed in, say, Germany, Italy or Great Briatin, you’re good to go. But if you’re based in Japan, Kuwait or Afghanistan, you’re out of luck.
■ Will have region-locked games. Games bought in the U.S. can be activated only in the U.S. That means no more ripping open the latest title that just arrived in a care package from home while you’re deployed. And forget about buying games locally when overseas — if your Xbox Live account isn’t tied to the region when you activate a game, it won’t play.
■ Serious security concerns. Even when the Xbox One is in sleep mode, its built-in microphone can always listen in. It’s a feature developers say will provide quick voice-command access to games and apps — but that could spook commanders who might worry the always-connected device could also capture more than just idle chit-chat among troops.
“Microsoft has single handedly alienated the entire military. And not just the U.S. military — the militaries of the entire world,” says naval aviator Jay Johnson.
The Internet connection requirement is “the single greatest sin Microsoft has committed against all service members,” he writes in a post on the game developers’ site Gamasutra.
With tours aboard three Nimitz aircraft carriers, Johnson says he’s spent more than half of the past three years deployed or training at sea. He describes gaming in general and his Xbox in particular as “my sanctuary. It is where I went to calm down after a long day of flying.”
But that won’t true with the Xbox One, he says.
“No longer will the sounds of Master Chief saving the human race echo through the hallowed halls of the USS Abraham Lincoln, or any other USS ship, when we have a few hours respite. No longer will you see Marcus and Dom sawing through the Locust Horde at the bases in Afghanistan after the Marines have returned from patrol and want to escape their reality for a bit. Those days are now firmly behind us.”
[h=3]Microsoft: Sucks to be you[/h]Not to fear, says Xbox exec Don Mattrick, president of the Microsoft’s Interactive Entertainment division. The company has a solution for those in the military: Just use the old Xbox 360 instead.
“Fortunately we have a product for people who aren’t able to get some form of connectivity, it’s called Xbox 360. If you have zero access to the Internet, that is an offline device,” Mattrick told Game Trailer at E3 in an interview posted online.
He says he feels your pain, though.
“When I read the blogs and thought about who’s really the most impacted, there was a person who said, “Hey, I’m on a nuclear sub.’ I don’t even know what it means to be on a nuclear sub, but I’ve got to imagine that it’s not easy to get an Internet connection. Hey, I can empathize. If I was on a sub, I’d be disappointed.”
OFFduty asked Microsoft officials if that empathy might translate into practical workarounds for the military.
“I don’t have additional details to share and can’t speculate on workarounds at this time,” wrote Xbox rep Danica Stickel in an emailed response to questions, repeating the suggestion that troops could just use the 360 instead.
“Although we’re very excited about Xbox One, we remain dedicated to Xbox 360 now and for years to come. In fact, we are expecting some of the greatest blockbusters of 2013 and 2014 to come out on Xbox 360.”
She did offer some encouragement for Xbox One hopefuls, however, saying the regional lock restrictions aren’t much different from other content protections.
“Similar to the movie and music industry, games and other content must meet country-specific regulatory guidelines before they are cleared for sale — which means that games will work in the broad geographic regions for which they have been cleared, much as today with Xbox 360,” Stickel wrote.
“While the console itself is not geographically restricted, a user’s Xbox Live account, content, apps and experiences are all tied to the country of billing and residence,” she wrote.
“Military personnel will be able to take their Xbox One and play their games with them without an issue as long as the game has been ‘activated’ once in the U.S. Your games go with you and play, no issues,” she says.
Stickel also downplayed security concerns over the console’s always-on microphone or built-in Kinect video camera.
“When Xbox One is on and you’re simply having a conversation in your living room, your conversation is not being recorded or uploaded,” she says. “You will determine how responsive and personalized your Xbox One is to you and your family during setup. The system will navigate you through key privacy options.”
But even those outside the military have been surprised by Micosoft’s shrug to the military community, with some speculating it will fuel a wider surge toward Sony’s Playstation console.
“This is shameful, says Joel Hruska, a writer for Extreme Tech website. “Telling troops that you ‘empathize’ with them is both embarrassing and hands Sony perfect ammunition.”
“Do I think Microsoft is going to change?” writes Hruska in a recent post. “Honestly, no. The remarks that’ve come out to date paint a picture of a company that’s so drunk on its own Kool-Aid, they aren’t listening to outside criticism or commentary any longer.”




 
Most of the concerns about the new xbox wouldn't even effect me but the fact that they're there and Microsoft's arrogance about the whole thing doesn't sit well with me. If you buy a game you should be able to play it period, full stop. Anytime you want, internet connection or not. People who pirate games will have no problem getting around this. Someone will have it hacked within a month of release. The only people affected will people who are doing things legally.

i feel like they are remaking the desktop, from the specs they sound just like PCs!! x86 architecture etc. Sony's cell processor (used in PS3) was really good but too bad game developers couldn't unleash its full power. I am a sony fan but I think i will just stick to my PC since PC graphics are always the best.
Anyone likes the game Watch dogs, looks like a really nice game.
 
Are people so hooked that they must have the new platform even though it is crap?
Stay on the last gen, send a message. Enjoy the games you have.
If you are playing THAT much games then you really need to get outside more.
