[ALL] Day 1 - What are your plans?

[SethMode]

If I get a new console day one, it would most likely be a PS4. $100 less, no bullshit Kinect required, I don't have a cable box, etc.

As much as people scoff about how hard Sony is pushing indies, some of the best games from the past couple of years have been indie games, and if they can continue to make their platform more appealing to indie devs, that'll be big plus as well.

I am with you there, but honestly, I find it more worth my while to just get indies on Steam, because they're almost always cheaper (and will definitely be at some point, probably the Xmas after their release).

I'm very curious to see how it goes on the PS4 though.

agreed that is great for sony but you know you will be playing those indies on the PC.

Sony sounds like they're giving indies a ton of freedom with pricing, and I'm interested to see if that turns into sales similar to what you can find in the PC marketplaces for indie games.

I can always upgrade my video card and extend the gaming life of my PC a few more years too.

One thing the $399 price tag tells me about the PS4....it'll probably be a long ass time before they do a price drop.

well if it sells well then there will be no need for it. Price drops are usually to boost stale sales. But yeah the lower you start obviously the less room you give yourself.

 

[jms493]

ANyone that wants an Xbox should just wait till holiday 2014....probably will be bundles and a $50 price drop.

 

[j.hen]

Definitely a PS4. Xbox with the Kinnect and online requirements ftl. Won't get it at launch though, at least not until Infamous and KH3 come out. Might pick Madden up as well.

 

[ryne candy]

Trying to save up money for other stuff, so I'll wait the minimum of 6 months (most likely a year). If everything is good and no major complaints with Madden/The Show, I will pick those up with PS4 purchase. As for the Xbox...I'm not sure if I will get one in the first 2 years. It would have to go down in price and have kick ass exclusives.

maybe not a manuf. price drop but during the holidays, I could see stores doing sales or giving customers a GC w/ purchase or free game.

edit: My 3,500th post. :nanadance:

I still have my Day 1 PS2 and had no issues outside of having to clean the lens a few times :kanye:

I have never owned a launch system, but I am still scared of all of the RRD stories from the 360. If a spent $400+ for a system and it died on me within a year or two and the best thing they could do for me it to tell me to buy another one I would be furious..enraged, etc I would probably commit an act of violence.

they replaced them for free...

Yeah, after at first saying that it wasn't an issue. It took them a few years to admit the issue and do something about it.

 

[PepperNY]

I preordered both the Xbox One and PS4 along with Killzone,BF4, and Forza 5.

I may end up canceling my Xbox One preorder and moving my BF4 over to PS4 to play with you [FOOT] guys. Going to wait awhile to see what other information comes out before I do that tho.

 

[Fappin Raptor]

I'm not up on any of this stuff, but will the Juan have a bluray player?

Yes.

That's kind of not the whole story though. They repaired them, and only once, which was a problem considering most people said that the refurbished ones died even faster.

i dont recall that. So if I got a replacement from MS and 4 months later it died...they said fuck you?

I remember getting a one year warranty covering everything and a 3 year warranty on the Red Rings.

The warranty was super long for RROD, that much I remember for sure. But I recall a buddy of mine had his die, had it fixed, died in a month, they said effectively "We will fix it for this amount".

For all I know, he got a shitty customer service person, but I feel like I remember reading that myself.

 

[Point Blank]

Leaning towards the Xbox One but might switch it up since everyone will be getting the PS4.

I'm getting the PS4 at launch. That's all you need to know.

BF4, Watch Dogs and Madden 25 likely

 

[Point Blank]

NBA 2k14 is a launch title as well right?
