Xbox One vs. PS4

Pre-ordered xbox and can't wait for BF4 and Titanfall
Reasons not to buy a ps4....
Terrible awful controller
Terrible lauch games line up
No HDMI in
Lightyears behind camera technology
PSN sucks compared to Live
Not a fan of most of the Sony exclusive titles
It's funny that the media has declared a Sony win at e3 due to DRM, Price and always connected to the net. I couldn't care less about these things. I don't buy used games or swap, I always have Sky Fibre unlimited and i'm willing to pay an extra 80quid for the Kinect 2.0 which will become more prevalent as time goes on.

Agreed, X1 for me too.
BF4 looks unreal on next gen, 64 man servers on that, so hyped.
Rise looked impressive.
Watch dogs as ever looks amazing.
Does anyone know is Defience is a PS exclusive but thst looked incredible.
Further to that my 360 is never not contected to Live, if you havent got live connected you arent using the 360 properly IMO.

Thats what I have now, and a Wii. They're pretty much all sat around collecting dust though, the Ps3 only goes on when I want to watch a Blu Ray and the Xbox only when the Mrs has gone out and I've gotten bored of porn.
Doubt I'll invest in either straight away, I might pick one up in 12months time if there's any deals on, or I really want Forza.
I can see the PS3 being a favourite as far as shops are concerned, I can't see Play/Game/HMV etc. being too chuffed with a console that doesn't allow second hand games and also is encouraging people to buy their games as downloads rather than physical media.
Ah, so its not as bad as people have made out then. TBH I haven't read in-depth in to it, only what I've seen/heard on Social media (which I should know is typically a sh*t source of valid information 
)
If there is a re-licencing fee its still a bit of a rip-off in all fairness. Its not like its costing the supplier anything if a different person is using the game. So long as there's still only one copy of the original purchased game being played. Although if they're "licencing" each game against your gamertag and then monitoring this constantly there is some admin in it. But thats admin of their own making to justify being able to charge you to 're-licence' the game. Essentially they just generated a whole new revenue stream directly from the honest customers pocket.

Exactly Noddie, you don't need the disc with the xbox and DRM is the only suitable method of controlling it. The publishers are also pushing things this way as they feel they are losing money.
I'm actually really surprised at the gaming media and community, they seem to be naive and duped on this Sony have won E3 bandwagon. You'd think they'd realise that the xbox is 80 quid more due to the Kinect 2.0 but they have seen the numbers and suddenly forgotten this. There is a lot of people being really thick to be honest.

I don't play football games showing my numpty-ness! Didn't even think of that LOL
I usually play GT5 on the PS3.. that's the only reason I bought it bar the blue-ray player!
However - I like COD and other FPS so.. I might end up going for the Xbox after all my slagging of its forced DRM content :-p
