I was just at Walmart (god I hate Walmart, sorry, UB) - PS4 sold out, plenty of Xbox Ones in stock, but amazingly they were actually sold out of Wii U consoles too.

Honestly I don't know if I could Recommend the PS4 or the XBox One for under M gameplayers really yet.

I never thought of or realized this, but while PS Plus is required for online multiplayer on PS4 - only the primary account needs to be a PS Plus member, and then all other users can play online as well, unlike Xbox 360/Xbox One where ever account needs to have it's own $60/yr subscription. Another thing to consider when making a decision between the two.

Another plus for Sony, they really seem to know what they're doing this gen. Focusing on games instead of being an "all-in-one" entertainment box. It's like they're going back to their roots.

Will this new "pay to play online" feature be applicable to PS3 and Vita as well?

Oblivion · « **Reply #1278 on:** December 29, 2013, 02:35:10 AM »

Nope. Vita and PS3 will stay free. If they ever changed that there would probably be riots in the streets. The Vita successor, however? I have no doubt in my mind.

Actually Brandogg--that's only true for the 360--the Xbox 1 has sub-accounts just like Sony which means only one primary account needs live so the others can play online and with their own gametags.

MS changed it's policy early this year (march?) when it canceled the family plan.

To quote Wayne Campbell, "I was not aware of that." Well that's a draw then.

I have to say I'm a really big fan of the Dual Shock 4, and I hated all the older models. It didn't change all that much, but what what they did do made all the difference in the world to me.

I agree with this. The older ones always made my hands cramp up. This one so much nicer.

I only own a Wii U, and I use it mostly for Netflix.

Oblivion · « **Reply #1286 on:** February 01, 2014, 05:26:19 PM »

Ironically the Dualshock 4 makes my hands cramp in only like five minutes. I must have tiny hands.

MysticGohan · « **Reply #1287 on:** February 01, 2014, 06:17:29 PM »

I have a Wii U, do you play black ops 2 or Ghost?

Oblivion · « **Reply #1288 on:** February 01, 2014, 06:54:02 PM »

I play Black Ops 2 quite a bit.

...oh wait, you were talking to BnM.

MysticGohan · « **Reply #1289 on:** February 01, 2014, 09:14:32 PM »

BlackNMild2k1 · « **Reply #1290 on:** February 01, 2014, 09:28:22 PM »

I play Netflix.

and not even under my account most of the time.
Man they need to update that Netflix app to use profiles and have continuous play.

MysticGohan · « **Reply #1291 on:** February 01, 2014, 10:55:00 PM »

that they do, why it's taking so long is beyond me!

And PS4 is past 6 million console sales (and well beyond their goal of 5 million by the end of March).

It's even nicer to be capable of exceeding them.

I like my Xbox One, but I love how quick and clean the PS4's UI is (the Xbox One's UI is a bit clunky in comparison). I love how both consoles can record and broadcast gameplay, and it all seems more intuitive on PS4.

Ceric · « **Reply #1298 on:** March 14, 2014, 12:57:47 PM »

My big problem with the UI on the PS4 is 3 things.

1. Games automatically go to the bar and you can't put them in Folders.
2. Video Content provider Automatically go to a Folder and you can't put them on the Bar.
3. I can't say Playstation > Netflix because its not an item on the Bar. You can't go Playstation > (whatever that category is that Netflix is in) > Netflix either.

Hopefully Sony updates their voice commands soon. They also need to add MP3 playback and external hard drive support. I still can't believe that Nintendo is the only one that lets us use external hard drives for game installs. It's an even bigger issue for Xbox One because it doesn't have a removable hard drive. Installing games to an external hard drive should be very easy to implement; all Microsoft has to do is format the hard drive to the console.
