Playstation 4

is this going to be another PS3/Xbox bashing thread

Well Im a PS fan and have always been all the way from the original to now and I guess the future ones will all end up here at some point too, I prefer their controller so much more than the Xbox one which is just insanely huge and the fact that you HAVE TO PAY to get online on the Xbox is just a joke (no I'm NOT laughing), why should people have to pay xyz for the console itself and then xyz for the games they want and to add insult to injury pay xyz for the privelage of playing these expensive games on your expensive Xbox online!!

SONY = win win as far as I'm concerned, so bring on the 4th gen
XBOX =

+1 I have an Xbox but only so I could play Forza. The controler is far to big and almost uncomfortable

Last year when the Playstation network was down i actually bought an Xbox, i just couldn't understand the thinking around the controller, way too big and cumbersome

Never had any problems with it

I don't think there is any way this will happen. No one would buy the thing.

I seriously hope not, but a very good friend of mine works as a project manager for MS in the Xbox games area, and she mentioned it last time I saw her.. I couldn't think of a worse thing for them to do.. Well I could.. but I promise to play nice about Playstations ..joking!

Dunno about others but when I read this all I read was "blah blah blah geeky blah blah geek geek blah 40" telly"

That's pretty much spot on what I said..
How about.. "Me buy bits of computer and smush them together in shiny black box. Box lights up blue and pretty"

Me too! <grabs coat and leaves with Ali>

Oh feck.. I think i just saw Pestilence and War trot past the window... I'm agreeing with Hightower on something!



Jury's out on the new gaming consoles till I see them at least. Can't see Sony competing with Kinnect tho..

I have a PS3, it does not matter how much better or worse the Xbox is or is not, the company on PS3 is much nicer :)

I'm not bashing the PS range, like i said, whilst i have an Xbox and prefer it for gaming, i am also a PS fan and currently have a PS3 and a Sony Xperia Play phone (don't get me started on that)

Playstation have a massive amount of pro's, and yes the Xbox live subscription is a Con in the Xbox world over PS, i don't have a gold account and plan not to have one as i can play for free on the PS3.

Personally, i prefer the Xbox controller, i think it feels better in hand, and far sturdier for my wee stubby hands!!

Now that i have calmed myself over the big PS4 announcement, and read all there is to read on the subject, i still think the race winner may be Xbox, they seem to be taking their time over the new console and possibly for good reason too.

Anyway, on the plus side, do you think backward compatibility is important for transition from PS3 to PS4? Would it be a considering factor in buying a new PS4 if you cannot use your existing PS3 games?

and does anyone have a Vita, and do you think it will be a good addition to the new PS4?
