I was a PS gal...had the first one and 2 and then 3. It was about 6 years ago I got my first 360 and will admit I ended up playing more games on the 360 than I did the PS3...but that was mainly because I was doing MP then, which I haven't done in quite awhile. My first gen PS3 still runs like a champ - zero problems (and I have the 20 GB version) I also use it to play my bluray movies. Looks like I'm coming full circle and will be back to just PS. No more XBox for me - too many things I really do not like about the new system that even if they do get some great exclusives, I just am not interested.
Yup, all my blu-ray and even DVD watching is via my PS3. It upscales very well and even after comparing DVD quality between my PS3 and 360, the PS3 is the way to go regarding media from video to audio. I could see scanlines on some movies when viewed via 360, but never via my PS3.
I too still have a 1st Generation PS3 that works fine and dandy. I replaced the hard drive with a 500GB one eventually, because 60GB is not enough damn space
Remember how heavy and loud the 1st PS3 fat was though.

Not sure where to post my initial thoughts since there's two threads discussing XBox1 vs PS4 so i'll do it here. Now in fairness I will admit that I didn't really go through both threads in detail because they were pretty long and I really just don't care that much. lol
- There seems to be a lot more Playstation fanboys than XBox fanboys that require gratification that their console is better than the other console.
- I went to IGN and looked at the comparison chart and I don't really see all that much difference in the specs but maybe it's just me.
- I don't really buy used games and I always install the game on my hard drive if I can so that's a non-issue, but I'm not as hard core and don't play as many games as a lot of you guys.
- I don't want a freaking entertainment system, I just want a game console FFS!
and finally regarding the used game issue. I don't think a lot of you are considering the developers angle on this. Sure the user would prefer to buy a used game and just pop it in and play it but will the ones making the games favor the XBox because it will generate more revenue for them because they don't make anything on a used game. Plus, isn't the PC Gaming sector already doing this?

But it screws places like Gamefly over, not to mention, say you have multiple Xbox One's in your household and only one copy of the game. Gotta essentially pay twice for one game just to use it on both consoles.
If PS4 allows you to play PS4 used games it's going to win by a landslide. But we know it won't be backwards compatible right?
No, it won't be backwards compatible.
BTW--PS4 has a Kinect-like camera too

That's my concern. If my kids can't take a game disc from the ethernet connected Xbox in one room and play it on the Xbox with no wifi/internet connection in another room with a different gamer profile, then MS just failed to sell me not one but two new consoles.
Ugh motion control is so not needed.
Oh, and it'll be so much worse than the Kinect too, have fun!
Xbox was the biggest dissapointment " hey guess what gamers we have a new thing it's called tv now you watch as I grab thin air which takes more effort than a tv remote wallah see what I did I grabbed an imaginary picture and oooooo it went full screen" also this is a great gaming console but sadly we forgot too bring our games!
They made an official statement saying that there would be a fee if you wanted to play your game on another Xbox good bye Microsoft you've just dug your own grave!
I'm on the PS4 it looks better and sounds better!
You never know, might be on par. But either way, it's not a function I will utilize regardless.
I'm sure with XB1 everyone will have to buy 3-4 of them in the systems lifetime since you will get hardware crashes
I had my fat PS3 since release and I got the YLOD one time and it was within the past year.
The PS4 camera is stereo 720p, the way it compares is that the Kinect uses an IR projector that projects thousands of dots into the room, and then an IR camera calculates their position, which means no matter what, it will be able to track the positions, even in the dark. The PS4 camera uses two regular cameras, where each image is analyzed (meaning twice the amount of processing required) and it checks for obvious points that it can track, so it depends entirely on how many things it can track, so for instance if you placed a white poster in front of it it would not see any depth, whereas the Kinect will project dots onto the poster and be able to see it just fine. It also means that the PS4 camera will not work well in low-light.
All to mean, god help you if Sony decides to do anything with the camera.

As long as the PS4 Eye is not mandatory for me to use my PS4 (like Kinnect will be with the XBox1) I really could care less. This type of feature is not something I am interested in nor do I want to be forced to use.

Again, isn't that currently common place for PC games? I can't install Diablo III on one PC and then install it on another PC and play it without some sort of license transfer which makes it unplayable on the other PC?
No, actually you can install your games on multiple PC's, but if it's online you just can't play them at the same time. So I can install Diablo on two computers, but if it's loaded and I'm logged in on one, it won't let me log in on the other
Next gen winner confirmed. Congratz SONY! PS4 exclusives are gonna run it next gen. Cannot wait for 1st party companies to squeeze all the juice out that the PS4 has got to give!*drool

That's interesting, I borrowed Diablo III from a friend when he was done with it and I couldn't use it unless he transferred his account over to me. I didn't want to play online just the single player.
