This sucks, I got a PS4.

[ashauler]

I have the 360, and am completely satisfied with it. My thumbs hate each other so I don't play the shooter games.

I have one. Gamer tag is my username. I also play Forza 5 but I'm more of a Battlefield 4 guy. Haven't played much since I've been home.

Well if you ever get to racing, hit me up. Forza is a great game. Quite a few asshats trying to ruin it, but they won't last long.

This sucks, I got a PS4.

Ha! Sucker. Just kidding, it's really personal preference. I've always had better control with xbox controllers over playstation. A B X Y makes sense to me. Circle Square Triangle X just irritates me. I do believe it's a toss up for game quality, but I give xbox a few points for online multiplayer...and of course the aforementioned controller layout.

360 is a great machine, and will be around for years. What do you play? If you're a Rock Band guy, I can play a mean lead guitar and pretty deadly on drums. Just don't ask me to sing.

Xbone sounds like a pron site.

Xbone sounds like a Porn Machine.

Agreed. I've gravitated to that acronym because it makes me laugh.

Oh, and fixed it for ya.

Still have mine too. Good stuff. Haven't busted it out in years, but I still have it.

I picked up a 360 on Black Friday. I was planning to download a bunch of games for the PC from Steam's Halloween sale, but my PC is an old piece of crap and wouldn't play any of the games (mainly due to the lack of a dedicated video card). I debated getting a new PC, but after sitting at a computer all day, I'd rather play a game while sitting on my couch. I don't play enough to spend the $ on a One.

But do you still play that NES Kevin?

A few years back my son and I attended a police auction and bought 5 plastic bins full of brand new but older video games (still in original shrink wrap). NES, Super NES, Game Gear, Game Boy, etc. The newest is about 12 years old. My son sold the game systems in there for some surprising $$$ (I also believe he confiscated the Zelda games), but we put the rest of games in the garage and literally forgot about them. Just prior to my accident I found them and was making a killing selling them on eBay...

I'm amazed they're still so popular.

OMG! What I can not believe is the whale left himself wide opened ..wait let me rephrase that I do not want him to think of porn. He left himself vulnerable..dam ok well he left himself hanging out there....crap just forget it.

I play racing games...Nascar - Forza4, but I've never played online. I suck so bad that these two games will probably keep me occupied for a few more years.

Just dug a old sys out of the closet Turbo Grafx 16 System - Video Game Console

I wonder what its worth?

[tc3driver]

I have to be honest.

Aside from the fact that I despise Microsoft with every fiber of my being.

I truly hate the Microsoft XBOX line of products. Mainly because they like to charge you for products and services you already pay for. Such as Netflix, You pay 10, 20, 30, 50 a month for Netflix. Then you pay between 50-125 a month for internet access, M$ wants another 5 dollars a month for you to be able to watch Netflix on the XBOX. This goes for all of the services you pay for that are accessible via XBOX.

I almost hate sony as much as I do M$ (in some cases more). At least they don't charge me for services that I already pay for. That is why there will be a PS4 in my house (probably when GT7, or GTA6 comes out), when the games are there to support it.

Seeing as how we're being honest: Your reasoning sucks.

You're free to dislike and not purchase services from whomever you wish. That is what a capitalist society is all about. See reference from Wiki

"Capitalism is an economic system in which trade, industry and the means of production are controlled by private owners with the goal of making profits in a market economy." (snip)

Secondly, let's look at your figures.

-Netflix "10, 20, 30, 50 a month" - Hmmm. I only pay $7.99 for all the digital streaming I want. If I wanted DVD's, I would pay an additional $7.99. But I choose not to. Not because I hate Netflix, but because I personally would not benefit from the additional service.

-Internet Access: "50 - 125 a month" - My internet service is a set price. If yours fluctuates that much, you should look for another provider. Oh, and I pay a fair amount for my service. Not because I love the company, but it is a service I see value in.

-Microsoft wants $5 a month to watch Netflix - C'mon now, this is not true. First off, an XBox Live Gold membership is $4.16 per month. And, you get a whole lot more than just Netflix. Much more, and much better than Playstation Network. Here's a link to some of the benefits.

Like I said in the beginning, you have the right to choose. That's what makes this country what it is, and I hope to God it stays that way. So, keep playing the Playstation (which I have no problem with, and will probably get one of them too). But let's try to keep a conversation based on facts, not some seemingly socialist bullshit.

Take this from one who was a staunch as you are - I despised Apple "with every fiber of my being". For YEARS I hated that "toy" computer crap called Macintosh. There was no way in the world I would even poke at the keyboard for fear of cooties...

And then it happened... I won a 32GB iPad 2... What a damned dilemma. I couldn't let that thing go to waste. It was, after all, free. ...aand I figured if I did not like it I could toss it into the garbage guilt free! Except something very strange happened - I actually liked using it. I even preferred using it over the Android tablet I already had. And the more I used it, the more I liked it. To the point that I just bought two iPhones 5's (for momma and I) and gave my iPad 2 to the spousal unit and replaced it with an Air. So much for hating Apple - I've been hoodwinked...

So - moral of that story - don't ever say never.

And M$ does piss me off - but I could not function without their products... Sucks to be so hooked...
