Yeah I'll agree with that comment about Sony being a bit more focused on gaming. 

 

For me the main thing I'm waiting on is price.  The more MS talks about features, the more I hear a cash register going off in my mind.  Personally, I've been playing a lot more PC games than console, so it's going to take a decent price (I'm realistic though) for me to bounce on it immediately.  Even though you can pirate games easily on PC, I still find myself just buying most of my games on Steam because you can find amazing deals way before the console version.

 

One thing I wish would be for them to start offering a discount for buying a game digitally.  It saves the developers a ton of money, no packaging, book, cd and ink, etc.  Of course that means you can't "trade it in" or whatever, but I think taking $10-15 off the title if you download it shouldn't be crazy.

 

I want to play BF4 though, but maybe I'll end up playing that on PC instead.

Sony offers discounts on digital titles by getting them before release or during some first week sales. For instance they had Metro for 47.99 the day it released. They offer some other and better discounts as well if you have plus. 

 

I got Ni no Kuni the day it came out for like 44 dollars as well. Grid 2 for 54 dollars. MGR bundle is on sale for 44 dollars right now. It's really dependent on the developers though as is any discount.

Well you can get games on PC for like 15-20 a few months after release, much cheaper.  But yeah those deals are decent. 

 

Steam is freaking amazing, I get deals all the time through steam. I was just mentioning that Sony is starting to do something similar, just not as good right now. The free games on Plus are nice though.

I was going to give more then $1 dollar, lol. Just don't know what the right amount would be, I was thinking 10-15 dollars to give like 5 to remedy and the rest to charity.

 

 

 

 

 

 

Also keeping on topic, here's a good article on the tech specs of the xbox one vs the PS4. Goes in depth on how it's clear that MS didn't listen to developers when designing the machine and so forth.

      Joint Practice - Jets

      Yep. It was an obvious red flag that a lot of people ignored. The results/scores in preseason don’t matter, but individual performance very much does and individually, we looked like the least talented team in the league and it carried over.

      Sorry, but in 2015, we didn’t look like poo to the extent of 2023. People who said it’s just preseason were completely wrong. Simple as that. 2015 was a veteran lead team. It was Cam’s 5th year and Luke’s 4th. Even our OL was 80% the same (added Oher) as the great run to finish 2014 with a playoff win. That year can be labeled as preseason doesn’t matter because I’m sure we rested vets and well, Ron/Mike weren’t putting in special plays, etc. I absolutely don’t recall a bunch of us saying that Turner was getting killed on one on ones or that Luke was completely out of position or that Norman was hurt again but probably fine. The only thing that was right about the 2023 preseason is that the minority of us who saw it, were correct that we A) should have been making Young and others play 100% of the reps as there was nothing to hide and B) the preseason means nothing was a bunch of BS trying to stay optimistic when it was obvious that we had way less good talent than the rest of the NFL.

      You are telling me Paul Maurice is a better coach than Rod??? Yes!!!  It’s because he plays a better system and has a better goalie.   Our system sucks in playoffs and he refuses to roll with Koochie. Dallas cowboys level poo
