I have the PS4 and  I have not encounterred any problems with the hardward or UI. The downloads are super fast and I was really suprised how fast it is. I have watched movies and it was cool how you can watch the movie while its downloading and its still in HD!!. I have used the party system no issues. The games (graphics) look amazing I have a 56 inch Samsung 1080p TV and did not know what my TV could do till i hooked up my PS4 to it.  I dont like to say I love my PS4 like some people do but its pretty close to that.


Thats special?  Been doing that for a few years on my xbox 360 and sky box.

OT

The point the OP is making is they arent finished.  As gaming devices they both work well.  But both have either features missing or not working properly.

But like I said, thats electronics these days.  Early adopters are beta testers.

I dont feel like a beta tester with the PS4 havent had any issues but I can see they some people would get frustrated with whats going on with the Xbone sounds like they released an unfinished product.  


see pbroy above.

ps4 is an unfinished product, unless you think they lied about youtube uploads, suspend resume, dlna, mp3's?  Also apparently the blu ray layer on the ps4 is pretty bad and needs a patch and other things too.

At least be genuine about this.

Both arent finished.

I am being genuine about my experiance you just dont like what I'm saying. I am happy with my purchase. I dont feel like a beta tester I bought the PS4 to play games and it does a great job at that I did not buy the PS4 to watch TV I'm a gamer I game on my system and have had no issues.

Are you serious? Are you stating that kinect works perfectly like every demo they released for it and essential for the xbox1? They said TV like a gazillion times and that doesn't work like the demo they showed either...just youtube users with TV and xbox1 and then watch e3 and every other demo.  It is no where near what they advertised.

ROFL. You obviously dont know what I posted yesterday. Kinect works 95% of the time for me. I took the time to set up all my Xbox One properly.

The Kinect actually works extremely well, not perfect, but significantly better than the 360 and defintiely well enough to control the One, perform searches etc. Yes it is still a work in progress, the PS4 is missing a lot more features while the Xbone is missing less but could use some polish on a few of the features. Both will get complete feature sets eventually. If you don't like being a beta tester you shouldn't buy either for another 3 or 4 months.

Offcourse, early adopters are the real beta testers. Im waiting for a redesign/price cut before I take the plunge



Xbox: Best hardware, Game Pass best value, best BC, more 1st party genres and multiplayer titles.

If you buy EA games, you are a beta tester for sure.

That's a pretty naive assessment considering that every console every sold was not a "complete" product.

Early adopters are the test market for new platforms. Always are; always have been.

As long as a company doesn't ship a critically faulty product, either from QC or engineering flaws, you're paying for a working piece of hardware based upon potential future pay off in terms of announced software titles and functions.

All early adopters should really expect if they're not deliberately setting themselves up for disappointment is the initial games they bought on launch.
