would you say its worth owning the console this early?


To be completely honest, i would have to say no unless you are interested in playing FFXIV. Though it will only be a matter of time before theres more games available. It does feel very green still. No PS1 and PS2 games on the shop yet, for example. The shop itself looks very vacant, especially compared to the PS3 one that is filled to the brim with weekly/monthly promotions and content.

No support for remote servers (if you want to watch stuff from your PC on TV). You have to use the PS3 or 360 for that.

Dont want to make it sound like its a bad buy though, its just very infant still. The fields are still green and waiting to be filled. I dont think its a bad buy to get one at this point though. Its very unlikely the price will drop for at least another year, so if you have the money, why not? Its like owning a bit of the future. If you like FFXIV, then you will get plenty of gaming off it to justify a purchase.

By the end of the year there should be plenty worth having though.

He hasn't replied yet so i'm going to butt in :P

Like Nem i tend to hold off on buying consoles for a bit, but i was given a PS4 for my birthday and while i'm enjoying it a lot, if you already own a PS3 or 360 i don't think either the PS4 or X1 can justify their cost quite yet. Even if you enjoyed every exclusive both have to offer, there really isn't all that much to do yet, extra so for the X1 if you already own a 360 or decent PC.

All that in mind, if you have the money to spare or were planning on buying a PS4 before the end of the year, go for it. By then it should be well worth the cost, and seeing as the PS4 is unlikely to get a significant price cut for a while (based on it's current sales), might as well go for it if you did plan on that :)

wasnt on the hot topic...missed it

thanks for the reply guys.....i think i will just wait for gow4 to release or uncharted 4 bundle and hopefully by then they will improve the system
