I hear you OP, I'm in the same boat. After my PS4 failed to boot up from the new "Rest (in peace) Mode", I brought it back to Best Buy and exchanged it for an X1 (Elite Plus' 45 day return policy is amazing!). I bought the white PS4 Destiny bundle at the beginning of October and experienced nothing but problems. PSN was down for me 3 times in less than 3 weeks! Anyway, I haven't owned an Xbox product since 2003 so I'm curious what I should pick up for a game(s) this weekend? I've been playing around with KI this afternoon but I want to get at least one solid exclusive before the games rush that starts in a week. There's Titanfall, Sunset Overdrive, Forza 5, Forza Horizon 2, Dead Rising 3, Ryse, KI Season 1+2 (full versions)... Which of those would you recommend most? Obviously I'll be picking up MCC on the 11th but I'm looking for something to play until then. I'm so excited for an online service that actually works and updates that improve the system rather than ones that provide "stability" and brick systems. I also got an email last night from Evolve saying that the Alpha I had signed up for on PS4 has been delayed as well!!! Between that and the DriveClub fiasco, are you kidding me!?!?!? I think we jumped ship at just the right time. I will miss Bloodborne and UC4 but it's more than a fair trade for a reliable console and network.

I'm playing Sunset Overdrive and I'd say it was about on par with Infamous right now.  It's pretty and plays well but....I'm just not having any fun.  I'm still early in the game.  The ones I'd recommend are Ryse (if you can get it for $30 or less), Forza Horizon 2, Dead Rising 3, and Titanfall.  

As I do with any thread where someobody buys a console--especially somebody that actually has played multiple consoles--I would love to hear what you and the OP think of the Xbox One after a few weeks of getting to know more about it. And if this were a PS4/Wii U thread, I'd be asking opinions on those consoles, too.  I just love to know what seemingly unbiased people think.

Definitely get Sunset Overdrive, that game is really awesome. I will send a friend request, though, I play few games online. I do however play Titanfall quite a bit.

-If you like FPS, Titanfall is not brainer; the game plays very well  and there's a deal going on right now for it.

-Forza5 and FH2 is where it's at. Two amazing racing games in their own category.

-I still have to get Sunset O. it's that mindless fun that reminds me of Crackdown.

They're all top notch honestly speaking.

I'll send a request to get you into the Preview Program. You should also try the Smartglass app. Coupled with Kinect, it's like a remote in your pocket.

It doesn't mean I'm happy though, I still feel sadness for you selling your PS4...

Thanks :)

Don't be sad though. If the PS4 ends up with an irresistable catalogue of exclusives like the PS3 had, then I'll have no choice but to buy another one eventually.

Im happy with my huge backlog of games on PC and ps3.(planning to buy new3ds for all the sweet ds games too) :)By the time im done with playing all of those games the ps4 will have alot of exclusives ready! :p The only thing i regret about this is that i can never talk with others about new games as im always late with playing those:)

Well yeah,one thing could make me buy a new console faster and that is massive Final fantasy hype.:P

Dead Rising 3 and Forza Horizon 2 are great. Killer Instinct and Halo goes without saying.

I don't think I'll ever get through my Steam backlog.....Every time I make a dent in it they have another sale.
