I'm glad your here to tell me how to spend my money. I also recently bought a $70,000 car (Mercedes E400). I guess that you think was a "stupid" decision too when you consider I could have bought a Kia Forte for about $16,000.

Slavish0 said that he doesn't believe that people would spend $1000 plus on a PC and then game on a console. I refuted that claim by sharing my own situation. The PCs (no, not Macs) that I work with must ...

You're financial situation must be dire if you can't believe that people buy high end PCs but game on consoles. Either that or you're about 15 years old and can't fathom the concept of dispensable income.

My last 3 PCs have cost around $2000 each and I haven't played a single game on any of them. My primary desktop PC is located in my office and is predominately used for work, video editing and 3D modeling.

I recently purchased a high end PC for about $2100. All of my gaming occurs on consoles.

So, I'm going to say that you're wrong.

"$2000 on consoles alone every 5 years"

I'm not sure that I understand the math here. Are you suggesting that MS will institute optional upgrades for the Xbox One that will cost $400 per year?

I highly doubt that scenario will come to pass....especially considering that base model can be purchased for approximately $300.

I understand your concern but you are completely exaggerating the potential cost in...

Misguided? It seems that you are not too familiar with the Coleco Chameleon fiasco. The entire project has been nothing more than a devious attempt to siphon funds, via Kickstarter and Indiegogo, from unsuspecting games.

The slowest speed offered from a major ISP (in my part of the world) is 3Mb/Sec from Comcast. This is still fast enough to stream video content.

Are the ISPs that you are using happen to be free? I'm not trying to be sarcastic. I just find it hard to believe that there are commercial ISPs in 2016 that are incapable of replicating the most often performed task on the internet.

Of course, blame Microsoft for a decision made by the developers of the game.

Why not, right?

"the actual game isn't (1080p)...don't be surprised once the game comes out."

There won't be a surprise because I can make an accurate assessment of the graphic fidelity of QB with, get this, my OWN EYES. In my appraisal of the game the final resolution is a moot point. I find it mind boggling that anyone can look at this game and not find it anything but gorgeous. It's too bad that others are too hung up on numbers t...

This has to be one of the most asinine statements that I've ever read.

"Anyone would take anything when it is that easy."

Please don't assume that everyone has the same low morale standard as you.

I agree that one of the reasons people pirate games is because the action is usually devoid of consequence. But don't believe for a second that fact is motivation enough to spur anyone into stealing.

Are you actually suggesting that every member of society would become full-...

@Razputin (and others)

Here we go again...more pathetic justifications for pirating games.

Game too expensive? Steal it.
Title not available in your region? Steal it
Just want to "test" game? Steal it
XYZ company angers you for being "greedy"? Steal everything.

Am I the only one who sees that the responsible choice is to just NOT PLAY CERTAIN GAMES? Why is it that the first option for a lot of you i...

A company that is interested in making a profit? The HORROR!!!

When will these avaricious companies stop acting so selfishly and start investing in games that fans claim to desire (but don't actually buy)?

SHAME on MS for trying to increase revenue! /s

@il-JumperMT

Your choice to pirate a game is based on the publisher's release schedule? Yeah. that's a legit reason /s.

"I would (have) bought Physical CE"

No, you would not. If given the opportunity to steal or pay then you'd choose the former.

If you're going to be a thief then at least have the guts to admit it. Don't hide behind these lame justifications for your criminal activities. ...

@boodi

In regard the to first set of images that you posted (snow debris), well, the only difference that stands out to me is the text on the sign which says "see the shows" is sharper/clearer on the Xbox version.

The rest of your observations appear ambiguous at best...to my eyes, anyway.

I think that the game looks equally great on each system.

I do agree with you on one point. I believe you when you claim to see ...

Snow debris????

I honesty do not know if you are being serious.

"my eyes spot quite some differences". Well, we often see what we want to see. I still maintain that you wouldn't be able to differentiate between an image from the PS4 version and an image from the Xbox One version if they weren't labeled.

But, hey, If you are sincere and really perceive a difference in quality between the two versions t...

@boodi

Seriously, you have to be kidding...or perhaps you just can't help yourself from making this into some pointless competition.

Are you looking at these images through a microscope? To my eye (20/20 vision) they look to be of the same caliber.

I bet that if the labels were removed from these images then you couldn't tell the difference between the two systems.

PS4 occasionally displays better graphic fidelity tha...

I'll wager anything that you would pirate disc based games on current consoles if that option was available.
