PS4, shoulda waited

[mayorcastro]

I'm not much of a video gamer but I really really liked Little Big Planet 1 and 2 for the PS3. Other than that, I'm a SNES kinda guy.

I am getting the PS4 soon. I am a girl gamer but also because of the entertainment aspect of the console! Can't wait! Btw I've been a XBOX lover but I am going to make the switch to Sony

Why in the f! would you spend so much on a launch system? $800 for a $400 box? I'd be unhappy too, no matter how good the games are.

Well it is $399 and $499 respectively but, you're forgetting other costs.

Ex.:
PS4…………...…….$400
2yr warranty……..$60 (PS4 has blue light of death, and lesson learned with 360 red ring)
2 games……………$120
extra controller….$60 Nothing beats couch co-op
charging station…$30 I hate picking up a controller and its dead
Playstation Plus…$60 Same as xbox live
Total………………….$730

But wait! lets not forget the best part. TAX!!

All said and done about $800

Xbox 1 will cost about the same. Its $100 more but, in my case I won't need a charging station and I already have live.

Prices will come down like next holiday season but, why you ask would I spend so much? I can give you reason like how I like to have the newest technology, or that Im a hard core gamer, etc. But really it comes down to…eh because I can. I blow plenty of money on here. I mean plenty! For what, an hour of fun a couple times a week. I can have hours and hours of fun, weeks, years of fun with a new system. A escort leaves after an hour…my PS4, Xbox1 will still be there. I justify my gaming systems by my pussy trade off. I a lot my hobby funds to once a week or 4-5 times a month. Sometimes I go over, mostly I stay under that. Most girls I see avg between $200-300 a visit. Ok, So I can't hobby for a month, I can live with that. Even that statement is bullshit because Ive seen 4 girls in the past couple of weeks….but you get my point.

Don't they both use the cloud?

[SgtGonzo]

They do for game saves but, not the game disc data.
