Title: What games console should I get
Post by: 4D on Thursday, April 10, 2014, 21:14:54
Decisions, decisions.  :hmmm:

It doesn't have to be the latest versions,  just trying to weigh up cost vs adequate

For me Xbox One. Ticks all the boxes. Unfortunately this friend will soon turn into a Sony Fan boy V Microsoft Fan boy sledgefest.

I don't get time for console gaming any more. Maybe a quick blast of a game on the laptop now and again, but that's about it. The only use my PS3 gets these days is playing Peppa Pig DVDs.

So, can't help, sorry.

Do you intend to play with other people?

If not, then I'd suggest a PC!

I'd rather keep the two separate. I'll keep the console by the telly, ready to go. Lappy gets used elsewhere.

Good quality PC every time, much more powerful than any console, just without a few of the games titles.

If I had to go for a console though it would be PS4 as its a bit cheaper than the Xbox One.

I wouldn't bother with either of the new ones at the moment. They're good n all but I definitely don't feel I'm getting my money's worth.


Title: Re: What games console should I get
Post by: 4D on Friday, April 11, 2014, 09:50:50
How much are the games for the new ones?


Title: Re: What games console should I get
Post by: Benzel on Friday, April 11, 2014, 09:59:21
£55. A new pad is £60.

I'm swaying towards the older ones  :)

I used to have an Xbox 360, and most of the games I bought were preowned. Never had an issue with any of them.

Are the same games any cheaper on the pc format?

Post by: jayohaitchenn on Friday, April 11, 2014, 10:45:24
PC are much cheaper. Even if you buy on release date you're looking at around £35 rather than £55.

The additional bonus being that PC games allow user generated content, such as mods which increase the longevity of games too.

PC games are better and you get a whole lot more than just a console. The downside of online PC gaming is the ability to 'cheat', which from my limited understanding is much less likely on a console... being a competetive so-and-so and honest as the day is long, I hate seeing players in online multiplayer games with 'enhanced' abilities..

It has to either be a Binatone or the Atari 2600, every other console is merely an imitation of those 2 bad boys. If worse comes to worse I would opt for The Sega Master System (with Hang On built in), Wonderboy in Monsterland and Out Run.
