By the time I've finished work, all the kids will be getting theres, I don't live in Swindon, if I went up last night I'm free to play it as soon as I finish, if I went up after work today I'd be having to deal with traffic & a busier shop. Win win going up last night, was back in Lavington by 1.

For the price I'll be giving it a miss. PS4 for me once that comes down in price as well.

PS4 release price is cheaper than the PS3!

Why would you question that?!

I worked for Gamestation for about 8/9 months and after what I saw staff members doing 'accidentally' it's not surprising they went out of business.

I didn't, nor did I put it clearly... They were checking my receipt 'Cod? Yep i've put that in your bag mate' 'Forza? Here it is, got that' sort of thing, I kept my mouth shut (For once) And walked out a bit quick.

Xbox one doesn't have the processor/graphics that the Ps4 has, it's geared a lot to media entertainment, which according to reports a lot of it won't work in Europe straight away, add to that the Xbox one is nearly £100 more than the Ps4 it's a know brainier IMO

Better exclusive games, servers don't get hacked and credit card details leaked.. Xbox is something I can chuck in the front room and use for everything, not just gaming. I know PS4 will be better for JUST gaming, but i'll be using it for everything, indeed a no brainer.

Half of the so called media on the big black brick are available on a smart tv, plus the other half requires the gold subscription,
I hope you enjoy it, just saying what I've read

PS3 has done all the media shit for years and I assume PS4 will be the same. What's the special media thing the Xbone has got?

I had the original and the 360, I didn't wait up until midnight. I waited about a year after they came out. Bigger choice of games, and cheaper  8)

They're about the same if you add in the cost of the PS Move aren't they? Which is a fairer comparison as Xbox has next-gen Kinect built in? (Disclaimer: I don't actually know much about this at all, just looked at some previews and that was about the only difference I could see. Happy to be corrected by someone who actually knows what the f**k they're talking about)

Yeah but why would you actually want kenetic/move !

XBOX is still £30 more expensive even with the move factored in.

Ummm, dunno. But the kids really like the Kinetic games we have on the Xbox, and apparently the new one is less rubbish, i.e. actually usable in a space smaller than an aircraft hanger. So if I was moving to one or the other, I'd want to at least not lose functionality. It's completely theoretical though as not being able to use old games (which we paid a small fortune for) on the new console is a deal-breaker for me. Stupid move that, don't understand it at all.

Xbox one doesn't have the processor/graphics that the Ps4 has.

They both use AMD processors and graphics card. Spec wise they are virtually the same.
