I know I'm a bit late to the party but I'm considering getting either a PS4 or an Xbox One. I'm assuming these days there's little difference between the two other than having the odd exclusive title. I've seen a few Xbox One bundles in the region of £150 - £200 so I'll probably go for one of them as they're cheaper than what I've seen for the PS4. |

Like >>22299 says it sort of depends on the exclusives. You'll have a good time with either one, but the PS4 is definitely a bit better performance wise. I feel like the Xbone has a more fleshed out marketplace, so you can buy and install a fuck tonne of games, including 360 games. Might be a good way to catch up if you're that out of the loop. Playstation also offers this, but to me it doesn't feel nearly as expansive a library. |

Consider buying/building a modest gaming PC for £500 instead. It'll probably be cheaper over the long run considering you're not paying an extra £50 a year to play multiplayer, and the games are much cheaper. I would also argue that amount of worthwhile exclusives for the PC makes the PS4 and Xbox libraries look like a joke. |

Crypto has made me consider buying a console for the first time in 10 years. Samsung has completely fucked the RAM market too, because there aren't enough forges to meet demand for the phone and desktop market. Why crypto go away, lads? |

I have both, and the PS4 gets a lot more use. Multiplatform games tend to run better on basic PS4 compared to basic Xbox One, and PS4 has a lot more worthwhile exclusives than Xbox One, particularly Japanese games. |

Get the PS4 Pro. It's marginally more expensive than the Slim and will get you better performance. In the long run this could mean titles locked at 30fps vs 60fps (as the new God of War title is rumoured). The PS4 exclusives are without a doubt better than the XB1's, and will remain so. Japanese gaming is in a great place irght now. It's got less media bollocks than the XB1, but you wanted a console right? |

2958179.jpg Is forking out an extra £200/£300 for a PS4 Pro or XBox One X over the standard versions worth it or is it only marginal gains, especially if you don't have a 4K ultra-HD telly? |

Demon's Souls remake is good, new Resi looks interesting, and there's a few other games I'd play but not necessarily go out my way for them. Console looks awful, like one of those fan designs, too spindly. Based on what both parties have shown so far, this might be the first time I favour Xbox in four generations. |

I've always been a bit surprised that there wasn't a bit more of a scene for aftermarket cooling on consoles to keep them quiet. I've got a fatty PS3 with backwards compatibility, one of the properly early models that are all YLoD'ing these days, I've changed out the thermal paste but what it really needs is a different case and cooling system. Same with the PS4 Pro, I eventually figured out a way of keeping its dubiously-designed cooling system well fed in the right places, but if there'd been a PC-like case with a nice quiet fan for under £100 I'd have been all over that. |

I can kind of see the appeal of getting an Xbox without a disc drive but not for a PlayStation. As far as I'm aware you can buy digital Xbox games from the likes of CDKeys but for the PlayStation there seems to be very few, if any, so you almost certainly have to buy from the official Sony store if you want something. |

Has anyone heard about the alleged problems with the new consoles? 4chan /v/ (yes, I know) has been talking about it non-stop. Sony fans are saying the SeX is prone to run at a very high temperature if placed horizontally. Microsoft fans are saying the PS5 is more prone to overheating, and the lack of transparency from Sony suggests they know the console is a dud. I can't tell if these are valid points or if it's just console war shitposting. It's really putting me off the upgrade to next gen. |

>>24523 Painting works OK at a tolerable manufacturing cost, but since all gamers live in dingy hovels with no sunlight, UV yellowing isn't really anything the manufacturers worry about. |

Plastics have improved hugely over the past few decades. White plastics still have a tendency to yellow a bit over time but it's barely a problem now compared to how it was in the 80s and 90s. |

Are Xboxes less reliable than PlayStations? I can't recall having a single issue with my PS1, PS2 and PS3 over an ~18 year time span but in less than a year and a half of having an Xbox One S I've had issues with two controllers and the console itself is playing up a bit. |

fightingdeck.png Unless you're trying to speedrun eye strain with your bestie, is this an actual use case for anyone? Don't get me wrong if you have a mate who wants to take a pair of giant fighting stick controllers to a cafe with you I'm deeply envious and more power to you both. However, it seems like Valve themselves aren't sure what you're meant to do with their product. It just seems like a lot of money to play AAA single-player games on the go. |

Has the Nintendo Switch gone up in price? I was looking to get one and it's currently about £275 for the console by itself or £310 if I pre-order the OLED one for October. I could have sworn they weren't much more than £200 last year. |

Are PS5s worth it yet? I've got a Series X, but the PS5 appeals to me for its own exclusives, particularly Final Fantasy XVI (though I believe that's only a timed exclusive). Are God Of War and Uncharted and TLOU and Returnal worth dropping £500 on a new console. I see PS now has a Game Pass style service, anyone know if it's any good? |
