Me too, unbelievably ready. I don’t think I've been anticipating a non treyarch game quite like this ever. I need something to play damnit.

Sunset Overdrive looks like its gonna be a pretty fun game.

Edit: Here's some gameplay they released yesterday.

I love the art style of the game. No idea if I would like it. Pretty burnt out on shooting, unfortunately shooting is the it thing right now.

April sales of xbox must have been putrid... May will be a terrible month, who would pay 499 when 399 is a month away.

Edit: pretty much xbox1 is an underpowered ps4 now, with less out of the box functionality (play n charge, headset adapter). Still inching closer to 249 when I consider jumping in.

My Ps4 keeps doing this weird thing where I try to click on an application and it won't work. Its like its frozen, but the PS button still works. And when I try to shut it down, the ps4 just has a white blinking light. When I try to turn the controller back on, it is just white and doesn't connect. So I have to hold the off button on the system to shut it off.

Yeah sales must have been reallyyyyyy bad if they didn't wait to announce this at E3 next month. Looks like they are conceding sales for the next month and really banking on this new SKU + E3 hype to get the XB1 back on track in the summer.

mine did something similar with the white light. I ended up just unplugging it and plugging it back in and it worked, after it yelled at me for turning it off improperly

If what aux suggested doesn’t work, I would call sony and try and get a new one. Mine did that obe time around launch, but never since.

April sales had to be near Wii U bad I would guess. January was 160k or 140k, can't remember which. With this announcement I wouldn't be surprised if April was 120k or less. May should be less than Wii U.

I honestly wonder if the cut will help. The xbox with camera, and titanfall was 450, and still lost March.

I would guess you need a warranty for that. I just bought mine off Ebay a couple months ago so I'm not sure I have a warranty.

So if I'm a casual gamer who likes to use lots of multi-media is XBONE for me? Going to be buying one of the two systems this summer.

So if I'm a casual gamer who likes to use lots of multi-media is XBONE for me? Going to be buying one of the two systems this summer.

My thoughts on this as someone who has both systems:

-The TV control is awesome. I love being able to change channels with voice commands. It got a little iffy when Time Warner changed all my channels, but it fixed itself after a couple of weeks when everything got updated. It's also great that my parents don't have to figure out my multiple remotes when they visit. :chuckles:

-Personally, I find that the media apps on Xbone run a bit smoother and faster than on the PS4. It's not as bad as the difference between the 360 and the PS3, but my PS4 definitely suffers from more buffering than my Xbone. I mean, it's not a huge deal, but I always rent movies or stream video on my Xbone unless I already have my PS4 on.

-Neither system supports streaming media from your PC, sadly, so it's a wash there.

-Regarding games it's basically a wash right now. Both systems have some solid downloadable games and both systems have a couple of good exclusives. The PS4 probably has the best overall with Second Son, but beyond that it doesn't have much else that isn't a smaller, downloadable title. The Xbone has a couple of solid exclusives, albeit nothing spectacular if you remove Titanfall (which is also on the PC).

-Personally, I still love the voice commands the Xbone offers. I still use them frequently too, and I totally thought I would grow bored with them over time. They almost become second nature after a while. Saying "Xbox pause" to pause a movie when you have to get up to take a piss or grab a beer is just liberating. The Kinect is overall pretty pointless, but the voice commands are just great and I use them all the time.

-One big bonus on the PS4 is the monthly free game. I've already downloaded four or five games since launch. Of course, you need to buy a PS+ subscription, but whatever. You'll do that anyways if you're going to play anything online. I know Microsoft has a similar program, but they have yet to implement it on the Xbone, so they don't receive any points for it.

So right now, I'd probably lean Xbone. The problem is that, in my opinion, the PS4 has more potential. If you're using media more than gaming, I'd probably stick with Microsoft. The PS4 definitely has the higher ceiling from a pure gaming perspective, but I don't think Sony will match up with Microsoft from a network/media perspective this generation. They've made strides, but not quite enough of them. It still takes about twice as long to download a file of a similar size on the PS4 than it does on the Xbone, at least in my experience.

They might just ask for the serial number. I don't really know. It would be worth checking out anyway.

@jack, does xb1 have 3d blu ray play back yet? Sony is really pissing me off with not having that feature. I have 25 3d movies, but can only watch them on ps3.

Ms is taking away the paywall for some apps, so that is a good step.

Also flash, Is it too much to ask for flash? Come on sony these are basic functions.

Finally coming next month for Xbone the games are Max: The Curse of Brotherhood & Halo: Spartan Assault. Supers street fighter ,Dark souls, & some arcade game for the 360. Interested in trying dark souls heard its a good game but gets real frustrating.
