Right now I am happy with my PS3 so I'll probably stick to Sony next-gen. I really don't like charging for online(but I do pay for Playstation Plus because it offers great value)

-I did get YLOD on my phat PS3. Ended up buying a Slim. Had no serious problems ever since.
-I had an Xbox 360 that was showing signs of RROD so I traded in for a PS3. Also ended up selling my Gameube and PS2 in order to fund the PS3 purchase. I do regret it.
-I'll pre-order a PS4 as soon as its available. Preferably through Amazon.
-Warranty isn't something I worry about. I rarely get malfunctions and if my product is faulty it would likely fail within the free 1 year warranty.

Now i have to get the next gen xbox just because the first saint's row is exclusive. Dude that was 7 years ago a lot has changed since than devolpers now know how to make games for the ps3. So no more 3rd party exclusives for the xbox.

Yes, a lot has changed. Sony is now completly broke

A broke ass company is whooping a multi billion dollar company, HOAA!

Whooping? They lost this generation and cant produce a single exclusive that would sell great. LBP Karting, Ratchet, Starhawk, Battle Royale - to name a few disasters.

Ignore Uncharted 1, 2 and 3, God of War 3 and Gran Turismo 5. Keep going, you're on a roll.

So, I'm looking to give Microsoft & Sony a fair chance at next-gen.  Previously, I was not happy with Sony due to constant malfunctions with my PS2 & terrible customer service support.  I went with Xbox 360 this gen, and I made sure to wait until the 3 year warranty was enacted before purchasing.  I was happy with Microsoft this gen -- even more than last gen.  Overall, I can say that I'm leaning towards Microsoft, but I'm seriously willing to wipe a clean slate for Sony this time around.  I'm not a fan of Kinect/Move controls -- I'm REALLY hoping this will not water down most future titles.

 

  1. Has the RROD, YLOD or any other malfunction forced you to abandon Microsoft/Sony for next-gen?
  2. Are you purchasing the console based upon pure fanboy/girl bias?  Be honest.
  3. Will you purchase the console at launch, or will you wait for the "beta testers" to jump the gun?
  4. What is your maximum budget to warrant a purchase?
  5. Could an extended warranty sway you from purchasing a competitor's console?

 

 


1. No. Mine did RROD multiple times, but Microsoft fixed it each time for free, which made me very happy. No YLOD on my PS3.

2. Generally, yes. I owned an Xbox and then got a 360. But my satisfaction with the 360 was the highest of consoles that I've owned since the SNES, so I'm primarily going to purchase because I know Microsoft will do a very good job next-gen.

3. Launch. Probably waiting inline for a few hours, and/or pre-order online. When the 360 came out, I bought 2 (with my brother), sold 1, and got one to keep essentially free. I'd like to do that again.

4. Probably $400. Anything more will make me really reconsider.

5. No. I care about games.



Back from the dead, I'm afraid.

I own PS1 and a PS1 slim, a PS2 and a PS2 Slim, a PS3, a PS3 slim and super Slim, a PSP and a Vita. Ive had no faults with any of the consoles at all so I will be getting the PS4 on release day. Now 2 be fair I did give Microsoft a chance, I picked up the old school fat 360 (Which RROD'd) it was fixed then 6 months later it RROD'd again after that I threw it out and picked up a 360 slim which worked great unitl the power unit bombed out and it stopped reading discs (This was fixed under warranty) and I still have the console now (I enjoy gears of war) but after being bit by microsofts poor system quality I will not be purchasing any form of Xbox from them again.

This. It kept me away from purchasing 360, each time I wished to play Gears!

Xbox 3 all the way! Sony has proven with PS3 that they dont know anything about electronics anymore. Also MS know how to secure a great exclusivse from 3rd party developers (Gears, Saints Row, Mass Effect, all the DLCs).


You know that Mass Effect and Saint Row are on PS3, right? 



Bet with jetforcejiminy: PS4 will pass the Wii lifetime numbers.

Gears is a great series, its the only reason I have my slim 360 still.
