For those who do not build their own systems (I do, by the way) a quick run down on what it all means:
=> 1.75Ghz is faster than the proposed PS4 speed of 1.6Ghz - the first XB1 advantage. Fact unless Sony come clean with their working CPU speed.
=> Extra 0.15Ghz means slightly faster multi tasking so good news.
=> This increase will NOT make a weaker spec GPU like XB1 come much closer to PS4 GPU strength - sorry.
=> This means the dGPU (se...
Sony were very shrewd. They got wind of the XB1 dates and decided to pitch themselves a week earlier in the US (MS stonghold) and a week later in Europe (Sony stronghold).
At last we have the dates!
Have just read through most of this (almost impossible to read it all) jumble and it makes some very interesting arguments. But the 2 most noticeable things about this are:
1:) Reads like an article about alien abductions. Conspiracy theories, or what?
2:) The guy sure likes Microsoft and does not like PS4.
I highly doubt it is true. He has put 2 + 2 = 7!
But for conspiracy theorists amongst us it is a great read...
Please open up your own shop. At those prices you will be busy 24/7!
Thump, Thump. Who's that crossing my bridge?
^ That's a troll...
Tut, tut. How dare you show a sense of humour!!
Do not launch until it is ready!!
Does Sony know something about the MS release date that we do not?
2013 and it does not support external drives out of the box? Is this a hoax?
This is plain crazy! Did they really design XB1 just for the internet? The DRM system must be built in very deep. Very strange - I did not expect this. It may come later?
Two things:-
1. I use Skydrive and it is fine for small files but is very slow with any media files. It seems they do not want storage of large video files. The speeds are so slow. Try it for yourselves.
So many games announced for the Vita. It is getting insane. Even Fifa 2014!
Have lost count of the amount of games I have read are coming to the Vita (coming to PS4 & Vita) + (coming to PS3 Vita and 360), etc.
The Vita is going to be the surprise hit of 2013/2014. Even talk of Infamous version for Vita...
Super Stardust was on of the best small games I have ever played. I have spent hours on that game. Simpler controls but very fast and amazing graphics.
Cannot wait for Resogun!
Its is just an excuse!
The UK has some of the fastest brodband and we are getting quicker all the time thanks to Virgin with 120Mbps (my speed) and BT and all the others catching up quick.
In every country, US included, there are rural areas with slow speeds. The UK is lucky that being a relatively small country in area we can get coverage very quickly.
They should offer it to us as a trial. We need to get a petition going once it is introduc...
Not sure what planet you are on?? No one said PS+ was weak in September. All he said was PS+ was weak for the first year!
MS Live has been going for years now as a subscription and this is all they give?
I only joined PS+ a year ago because they ramped it up big time after the first poor year!
Just downloaded Assassins Creed 3 & the Jak & Daxter HD Trilogy for September - amazing titles!!! Hope MS give some proper games soon. The fans...
Good advice..
"..we are trying and aiming to provide the same awesome experience to everyone, with no compromises,..”
We shall see.
That's why I dig BluRay. All BluRay discs (movies & games) have a protective layer on top which makes them more durable than DVDs. It is a great feature. All PS3 disc games come on BluRay. It makes buying a second hand copy real easy as you do not have to worry about scratches and quality on the whole.
Most stupid article ever. Saying "this nasty disc swapping" really means just inserting your game disc. It made it sound like the 360 where you need multiple discs per game.
What an ass. I luv having a collection of BluRay movies and Game discs in their boxes.
I do like downloading games like I do in PS+ where all games are digital, But if I buy a game I prefer a disc when paying good money. You can borrow games, swap games, sell games - all the thi...
True. They say that large server infrastructure was the main selling point. But PS4 have enough f2p games alreeady with Warframce, Backlight Retribution, War Thunder, Planetside 2, etc. The problem for Titanfall will come when they come running to Sony to take advantage of the large install base.
If they leave it too late no one will want to play it. They will then have to create Titanfall 2. It is a fine line to walk. I hope it pays off for them.
The problem...
Reminds me of Criterion Games when they gave free patches for day/night and other stuff for Burnout Paradise.
With the next gen costing so much initially with games and consoles it is a great idea to lessen the impact on your customers while keeping them hooked.
Wait until October when we get bombarded with Microsoft and Sony adverts!!
