Users reviews are based on the finished product, where as a game journalist's review will be based on the work through Alpha, Beta and End User product, and they can tell you where a game has gotten better or worse. Aliens Colonial Marines being a prime example. Remember the previews for that? and the final review?
I always take people's personal opinions with a pinch of salt, as some can be biased towards brand.

@2cents. Isn't Wa Wa Waaaaaaa, the intro tune to the new xbox when you turn it on? Lol

Well it does appear you can make a review without confirmation of purchase. If you look at the review page for 1star, on the first page alone there are 5 unconfirmed buyers giving reviews.
Wait until sat morning and you will no doubt be seeing doom reports over the xb1's as well.

Well I suppose that's really great........ if you happen to live in the USA!!!!! What about the UK? or the rest of the world M$?

The XB1 is $100 more expensive because M$ are out to shaft you, FACT. And that's before you start to weigh up the differences. For $60 I could buy a PS-Eye and have almost all of the same functions avalible as you will at XB1's launch.
Whilst you'll have to fork out $$$ for access to Netflix, Chat, Internet, ETC ETC, i'll be enjoying those features.
And once you've paid out for Gold, what do you get? access to the above?? I know 2 things for sure, 1. i'...

Personally I would of said 'pretty much the same since CoD2'!

Its good to hear of a possible fault with the new PS4 has been found this early as it gives sony plenty of time to correct this issue with manufacturing. If Thermal Paste has been the issue along, then a cheap fix at their end should hopefully be resovled by the time the Xmas batches arrive. As for the claim of 'Sabotage', I think that is slightly overblown. although, possibly true given FoxConn's Rep.

Adding this page to my list of Favs. could coming in handy when I get my PS4 start of next year.

Seems the safest thing to do is use is a hdmi cable that you already use instead of the cable provided.

I'm having to buy my ps through a catalog due to money being short around Xmas. And I did feel I bit let down when told I could expect it to arrive end of feb. Now I'm kinda glad I won't get it till about the 4th or 5th batch is out, as it gives Sony time to work out these kind of kinks.

I'm amazed a the disagrees you for stating 'that's the risk for being an early adopter' of new tech. Seems some ppl forget about xbox's Xclamp issue which lead the the infamous RROD.

Not bothered really. Gonna trade in cod for bf4 this weekend anyway lol

I reckon 5 mil for ps4 and only 1.8mil for xb1. I say that because xb1 is launching in less countries and if polls are correct, ps4 is winning pre-orders 2/1

@theBAWSE, pachter is one of the biggest pricks in the media bar none.

I'd take what he says over Major Nelson any day.

Simple, but costly way of cutting down the booting time is to buy yourself a SSD (solid state drive for those unsure).

@jasonmcee
Ryse will be just like heavy rain for ps3. You move around in small sandboxed areas, and when prompted to, you take part in QTE's. Hardly impressive in terms of gameplay. But good if all you want is a story. And that's it!
