I really want to hold off until next year, but I'm already having a hard time convincing myself to wait. Xmas is going to be tough for me to say no. It's just a matter of which system I want to get first.
Still thinking I might just do a PS3 for Xmas - that might tide me over. |

I had a Kinect for 360 and it was absolutely worthless. It's a glorified webcam - hence why M$ is pushing Skype so ****ing hard. |

Of course, we've already established I'm in a small minority. |

Both units sport 8GB of RAM. However, M$ has locked game developers out of 3GB of said RAM because it is reserved for background processes, like making sure your friends can Skype you in the middle of your game... |

For me, I press the power button on my controller and then hit Start. Because the PS3 defaults to the game I'm currently playing. I actually navigate the system menu once or twice a WEEK. |

When I power on the PS3, it starts the dashboard at the disc that's in the drive. All I have to do is hit X and my game starts. I don't have to "navigate" to anything so for me, I'd never tell the Kinect anything other than "on". Completely superfluous. |

Ah, I gotcha. I've never seen the PS3 dashboard so I have no idea how it looks. Kinect is definitely one of those things that people are either going to love or hate. I didn't like the Kinect from the 360 because....well, it just didn't work correctly for me ever. But, by all accts, the new Kinect is nothing like the old. From the videos I've seen, there is some repeat commands but really, anything using voice commands has that. My phone is the same way using voice commands or entering texts through voice. It's definitely not for everyone. I won't comment on whether I really like it until I've actually used it, but from the early videos, it looks like something I'll enjoy. |

Just one more reason to skip getting an XBox One. I hate wearing pants.

This morning I went to Toys R Us at 9 to get my Buy 3 get a $50 gift card and they got 6 systems in stock and there were only 3 of us in line at open. I didn't have the money to get another system so I helped a guy get another xbox so he could sell it online. It's my one good deed for the day.

Really, that's a hell of a deal. That will likely tide me over until next spring/summer. I'm sold....except I have no desire to go to a store on Black Friday.
