So the xbox will be a slave trapped in my basement which i will spent most of my time with?
Actually that is a pretty good analogy

ps4 and some of the games they're announcing sound fucking insane. not to mention free online play. im sold on that. i definitely wont get it right when it comes out, but when they get knocked down by 1-200 after a few months i'll jump on it.

it will take much longer than a few months for it to drop that much in price, if any

Yup. Not worth spending hundreds on something I use maybe 10 hours a year. Especially when I have a extra 360 still in the box

Apparently online on the PS4 isn't free. However, the fee is supposedly around $5 a month.

Sticking with Xbox. Xbox has dedicated gaming servers and game content seems to come out first for Xbox

Why does everyone cite this as a reason for the ps4? Ps3 online play was free and it seemed like the xbox got more hype.

This, but if I were to buy one, it'd be the ps4 because of the new Xbox game sharing/used game BS.

I'd just wait until everything comes out because we really don't know all that much yet about the consoles. Haven't had a chance to try them either. I buy maybe at most 3 games a year now so game sharing and used I never do. I assume gamestop will be on the list of retailers approved by xbox so im not worried.

so i just read an article claiming that xbox will have an always on camera and mic. i don't know if this is true, but if so, that's fucked.

I've heard that too. It would not surprise me if its true either because I remember when the Kinect came out, someone actually read the terms and conditions that you have to agree to and within it, it said that Microsoft could legally watch you when ever they pleased through the camera. That's sorta messed up...
