I'm curious, to you and Chris what are the details on that comparo that are pushing you toward XB1 vs. PS4? XB hardware has always been inferior to PS so that shouldn't be a surprise, but what else on there makes you want to +1 it

the specs are closer than i thought.
the exclusives interest me a lot more.
i'm already in the xb ecosystem.
most of the people i game with are going xb.
i really don't give a shit about drm or rentals.

Titanfall looks pretty cool.

I am a little worried about the balance, but yeah, it looks cool as hell. Probably my last XBox360 title.

It'll be on both as well as PC.

With balance, CoD isn't balanced either so I wouldn't be worried about that. You've just got to embrace that someone with better weapons is going to kill you and pat yourself on the back when you manage to kill that guy with your inferior weapon loadout.

I love leading the leaderboard with a Remmy 870 and an RPG :lol:

We should do challenges on here where we try to see who can get the most kills with a shitty weapon. Like the "MM 9mm Pistol Challenge".

Not gonna lie, I'm actually looking forward to XB1 now. Before I was just like "okay, fine."

I would go digital too if they were cheaper. Thus far I haven't seen that though. The Nike Fitness game for 360 is available digitally and on a disc but they cost the same. Only benefit is that you don't have to go to the store or wait for it in the mail.

the price has to do with what you will pay for it, i wouldnt expect lower distribution costs to pass on to the consumer, not to mention im sure there are retail sales contracts that force consistent pricing to prevent gutting retail sales.

personally, i think not having to keep track of discs, no lost discs, no scratched discs, no digging up a disc from a pile and loading/unloading into the machine not to mention the store is plenty of incentive to buy digital.
i cant imagine buying many smartphone apps if i had to go to the store to buy them and insert a memory card every time i wanted to use one.

MS has the best cloud application infrastructure in the world. Im willing to bet they can handle a big game release and then some.

More fuel for the fire. PS vs XB1 controller:

Exactly. There were quite a few people saying, "If Microsoft blocks used games, there'll be lower prices." Very unlikely. Nothing is stopping them from lowering prices more aggressively even now.

I don't buy console games often enough for the retail experience to represent a signifcant hassle to me. Smartphone apps are different since I download and install a lot more of those and they're a lot cheaper. I definitely wouldn't leave my house to buy $1-$3 apps very often either.

It would be nice to not have to change game discs but I am not willing to eat a shit sandwich for that pleasure. What Microsoft was selling was a shit sandwich.

I'm sure the day will come where consoles go digital only, I sincerely hope Microsoft and Sony have learned from how poorly the attempt to shift to digital went this time.

I think Microsoft could handle the load, but with big rollouts there always a high possibility of fuckups, even for Microsoft. I think if they went all digital today you'd see some teething pains and slow downloads on launch day that would gradually get better as they improve at estimating demand.

Anyway, I just preorded an Xbox One over the weekend. Don't know if I'll also get a PS4, but right now it just doesn't have any exclusives I want.

My beef was the DRM and was always the DRM. While some of the indie games going to PS4 intrigue me, none of the other exclusives really make me wanna go PS4. I mean shit, maybe if at least GT6 were a PS4 exclusive.

I am a little bit nervous about some of the rumblings about production issues for the XB1 chipset, and the fact that it has slower RAM, and more RAM eaten up by the OS than the PS4 (3GB to 1GB). I hope I don't get fucked on Xbox hardware again.

See, that's what I'm trying to avoid. Fool me once, shame on me. Am I gonna spend 600 dollars on a console only to have it fail in 2 years again? And be on the hook again to replace it? My XBox was pristine, never got hot, and took a dump on me at random. (not even a RROD, but a "no video output" a rare-er but still common problem) 100 dollars and 6 weeks to fix, or 249 for a new "basic" xbox. Instead, I'm willing to risk the superior hardware for less money...and neither platform hold any exclusives that I've got a giant raging hardon for...

It's true, it's true. I was just looking forward to a console that I wouldn't have to constantly worry was going to turn around and bite me square in the ass.
