Sorry, I meant netflix/you tube update files.

Netflix and youtube whatever streaming things are really the only thing this console is great at....and really affordable. Everywhere else you have to pay 60$ a year just to subscribe to netflix. Unfortunately, there really aren't that many other options out there, so Sony really has everyone by the balls.

Id say that sounds right. More power and the 1080/60 fps. They don't care for what kinect does.

But its also for the sense of belonging and validation. That is by far the best prize of all



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

500GB HDD is rapidly looking like it's not big enough, let alone too big. Have you seen the file sizes of some of these games? >_<

I think the case uses unecessary plastic. They could have done it Rasberry Pi style (bare board) and that would have saved not only moulding costs, but allowed much more customisation and helped save the environment by using far less plastic.


It should be fine with 8MB of ram.

Edit: also this saving plastic is why cases suck ass now. ty.

According to Bill Gates, no one will ever need more than 640K of RAM.

And about 30 years ago, no one would have thought we needed a terrabyte hard drive, what is your point?

Haha, got my first PC in 1995. It had a 1gb HDD. I remember my dad saying "we'll never fill that up"... a few weeks later we got something like Quake and it was 300MB alone XD



RIP Dad 25/11/51 - 13/12/13. You will be missed but never forgotten.

whoa. My first was in 1993 or something. 1gb is crazy huge. I installed xwing on just floppy discs!

Microsoft isn't very good at spec'ing RAM.

I know its a joke thread but if "value" is being discussed as the only metric, only morons should buy either console right now.

Wait for at least 5 good games that you can't play on a last gen console or a busted up PC...

Spoken like a true "gamer type". The next gen is about tv and sports.
That's the whole problem here. WiiU is a hundred dollars cheaper and can do all of that.
