Which games have you played so far, and what did you think?

Mainly Last of Us & Infamous. I've played a few other games for a 30 minutes or so, but between running kids everywhere & some games I'm still playing on 360, I haven't put tons of time into the PS3.

As far as Last of Us & Infamous go, I like them. Last of Us is interesting, just haven't quite finished it yet. Probably about half way through.

Infamous is cool. I thought I was farther along than I am, but I think I'm just now to the halfway point. I've got a little over 1/2 of the power restore to the second island. Fun game though. I'm enjoying it.

Haven't touched Uncharted yet?

Uncharted, The Last of Us, and Infamous are huge for me. Hope Second Son doesn't disappoint.

Xbone minus kinect thing will ship out next month for $399. They've also removed the pay wall for apps like Netflix, but will be copying Sony on the "Games for Gold" thing with X1 and you will lose access to free games if you don't have a subscription.

This is why competition is a good thing. I guess I should have waited. Could have save about $50 more.

BryanBusby 05-13-2014 11:58 AM

Can't say I'm surprised really. They basically put everything into Titanfall to the point where they bundled it for free along with a year of gold and dropped the price by $50 and they still fell short of the PS4.

Good for them. But they should of one upped PSPlus, by you keeping the games.

Also, this really hurts Kinect. They might want to make Kinect a cheat for games, well not really a cheat. But make it where if you have Kinect it gives you extra abilities during games.

Jumping all over this, already pre-ordered.

MS must be pretty confident in what they'll show to go ahead and drop a big bomb like this before e3.

It will be interesting to see if Sony counters. I wouldn't expect them to but they have been one step ahead of MS in this generation as to what people want. Wouldn't surprise me if they do drop something as well.

Good for Xbox. Forcing Kinect is what drove people away initially. Was a bad idea. Kinect is cool, just not something that I would buy if given the option.

Most of you know my feelings on the whole Netflix behind the pay wall. Not a big deal to me.

Not sure why you keep bringing up how Netflix isn't a big deal to you when it actually is to many of us. Of course it isn't a big deal to anyone who already has Gold but to those of us that don't want to fork over the money for gold on every single person in the house it is a big deal. Dropping the pay wall on paid services absolutely NEEDED to be done.

Like I said, it isn't a big deal to ME. I understand you don't want to spend the money on Gold/PS+ for everyone in the house, but with 1 Gold/PS+ level acct in the house, you have access to everything so I don't see why you need to pay for each person. Maybe so everyone can have access to it individually I gues.

Let's be honest, this news means very little to you in the big picture. You weren't ever going to get Xbox One. I'm glad they are doing away with it like you are, but in my big picture, it means very little to me.

Nobody was asking. :evil:

All joking aside, this is the way it should have been from day one. Sony knew that. MS has been stubborn as hell about not allowing it.

The main problem in my house is that everyone has their own account and each is locked with a passcode. nobody wants to let anyone else log on to their account, speaking primarily about my youngest who screws up people profiles. Because of this, it is inconvenient to try and watch online streaming on the xbox. We completely dropped Live about 3 months ago so the kids have been frustrated that they can't watch netflix on the box anymore.

My son wants the xbone but I told him he would have to save up his own money if he wants it that badly. He has been perfectly content to use the PS4 ever since. The funny thing is, the only thing he even wants the xbone for is titanfall. Reminded him we can get that on the PC. Of course, all I hear is "my friends don't play on PC"


EDIT

it actually goes back to my other complaint about xbox live. Everyone has their own stats so the kids hate sharing one single profile because they feel like they are being cheated. On PSN this isn't a problem because one account gets everyone online.

Ya, it shouldn't be behind another paywall. It's just a bit dickish. MS adds nothing to netflix, and if they did I'd be fine with that extra gold live requirement.
