Well different places may get different hardships... I don't remember PSN down for more than once this whole year.

But yes the OS is being slow for me and PStore takes a life to work, but that for me is more a problem of what KBG wants (more things in the OS) than what I want (it being bare and fast).

I would prefer as little of an OS as possible. The 20 sec cold boot start from the ps4 pro is already kinda long. All I use is start game and the capture gallery, while occasionally checking something in the internet browser which works fine with a quick double tap of the ps button.  Netflix is on the tv nowadays. PS store works pretty fast here. I only use it to check the VR games and add the monthly ps+ games to my library.

I am getting more tempted to buy an X, with 3 FH games. The bundles here suck though. There's a $600 Fallout 76 or Battlefield V or NBA 2K19 or PUBG bundle, no Forza one. $600 standalone as well, $200 more than I paid at launch for ps4, $100 more than at launch for ps4 pro. (Spiderman pro bundle is also still $500) A $499 FH 4 bundle would tempt me yet it seems price cuts for the pro versions are not on the horizon?

Anyway no hurry. Too many other games to play right now. Plus the difference between checkerboard 4K and real 4K is lost on me from the couch. It's just that the X promises to run FH4 at 60fps in 1080p, which would be nice.

Man I have no idea why PS Store is so buggy and slow to me. But it is a shitty thing. I just don't get pissed because I look at it just once a week for deals and use it for like under 10 min.

Well you can wait for Black Friday, considering it been 1 year since launch I imagine they will have some good deals this holiday and FH may be part of it. Well and X1X won't do real 4K for most games, but I agree with you that depending on the configuration you won't find much difference. Even DF have said that the use of checkerboard 4K on Pro was quite well done.

I find it odd that you don't care about ANY exclusives on the consoles but have X1 and PS4... if you only care about multiplats than your PC will play all of them better than any console, and since I doubt you burn money you probably care about some exclusive to buy these consoles.

I wouldn't say it is odd. Certain platforms fit better in certain areas of my home.

I.E. Loungeroom is my Xbox One X.
Computer Room is obviously my PC's.
Bedroom is the Playstation.

And there is a reason why those devices are in those areas.

Xbox One X is a media powerhouse, so it fits better with my theater system.
My PC's are powerful, but loud and hot... So better off in a separate room.
The Playstation 4 has more "lazier" games that I like and faster install times so I can drop a game in and start gaming faster. (Bedtime is a premium for me.)

Some days I might just wanna sit in the computer room, sometimes just lay in bed and play the Playstation... Or sit in the loungeroom with friends on the Xbox One X.

And I really don't play any console exclusives, not because they aren't good... But they just don't interest me, but that's just me.

Well I find a very odd reasoning since you certainly could have your PC as a central "server" to play in the 3 areas, but sure each one have their own needs. But if you don't like any exclusives then that is your option =]

People need to stop thinking that PS+ is paying for servers. They're not charging you because they can't afford good servers without it. They're charging you because they can.

That much is true. PSN was free for MP in PS3 and that didn't made the XBL be considered bad to customer nor did it transferred owners to PS3. So Sony simply saw a lot of additional resources with little backlash and instead of great games to justify PS+ now they only have MP and a big revenue with great margin.
