Anyone have both the PS4 AND the One preordered?

[Liquidsnake]

I have a question for you.

When it comes to BF4 and COD, what are you doing?

I have both pre ordered for the One, but the chance to play it one week earlier is kinda killing me. Should I switch the pre orders over to the PS4?

Me. Generally, gaming experience is better on the Xbox for FPS... for me.

What I would do in your case is wait until Gamestop or Best Buy or somewhere has the demo units in-store. Shouldn't be too long from now, I'd imagine. Then you want to go hold both controllers and see which one you'll find more suitable.

And then once you realize that controllers suck for FPS you go back to the PC master gaming race.

I ordered them for the PC... Pretty simple.

I've had the Xbox One pre ordered since June. The PS4 doesn't really excite me; nothing new, same controller I don't like, racing and shooting games don't play as well, etc. A week shouldn't make a difference. If you have the money, get both. If not, flip a coin; they're basically the same machine with a slightly different controller.

I had a 360 and PS3, and may end up doing the same thing.

With the current generations it was because of exclusives and because GT5 was taking soooooo long. I really wanted Mass Effect and decided to give Forza a shot. In the end I ended up selling it cheap to my buddy because ME2 and 3 came on PS3, plus I hated Forza/Xbox controller combo. Ended up buying the wheel which also sucks donkey balls.

So if anything really mindblowing (I really like Mass Effect, series ending notwithstanding and the console cost was worth being introduced to it. Crazy, right?) ends up as an Xbox One exclusive, maybe once prices come down.

The spying/connectivity they tried bugs me still, and they've been the first Evil Empire to me, so that will still play a factor. But probably affect how much I'm willing to pay rather than if, provided I think the exclusive is as awesome as ME.

It was a joke. :P

Original advice still stands.

Microsoft WISHES they could spy on you as much as Facebook and Google. In all reality, it's nothing to really be paranoid about.

I remember when Bioshock and Mass Effect were both exclusive...

Yeah, it just doesn't make financial sense to be exclusive anymore unless the company is handing you a big wad of money, or it's a first party dev.
So I'm pretty sure in a year we'll see Titanfall or its sequel on the PS4, and Deep Down will eventually be on the XB1 as well.

I just wish MS had someone like Naughty Dog. Gears was pretty good fun, but I was never a Halo fan. My personal reasons for MS over Sony was quality and stability of online network and beautiful ergonomics of the controller. I felt most multi platform games looked better and ran smoother on 360, but PS3 had a lot of great exclusive title. In the end, I did get both. To this day, my PS3 is my primary bluray player and I occasionally use it to play an exclusive title with an aftermarket controller modeled after the 360.

You can place the PS4 pre-order? I tried the other day at Gamestop and was told I couldn't yet.

Most pre orders have sold out long ago, another reason why release dates don't really matter. Either you're already getting one at launch or you're waiting for second shipments anyway.

Microsoft should be milking Rare for all they have, but I guess a lot of the better talent is long gone from that studio.

Amazon has had some on and off, but it was just recently that Sony closed the floodgates. I'd keep an eye out though. They apparently have more supply than people originally predicted.

Honestly the part that burns me the most about a console launch is all of the people that go buy a bunch of them and resell them on eBay. Yeah, I know it's their time and money, whatever. It's still a **** move to the people that legitimately want one and aren't able to pay twice as much.
