   Games with Gold coming in June. First games are Max: Brotherhood and Halo: Spartan Assault
   
   Also coming, an Xbox One with no Kinect for the same price as a PS4. Very weird move imo, but there you go.

   Hm sounds good to me! Don't want that kinect bullshit, prefer xbox to ps4 but the price difference was a factor.

   The kinects actually really good, especially voice commands. But MS have basically gone 180 on their original business strategy and vision for the XB1, and now have a lesser machine for the same price as its competitor.

   Kind of annoying really, quite like the Kinect now and liked the idea that game developers knew all Xbox Ones had it so would want to do something with it

   This is why PS4 was always going to be better.
   
   Microsoft couldnt organise a piss up in a brewery.

   To be fair, the ps4 is struggling to run games at 1080p, so its pretty much PS3.5, same way the One is actually the 360.1. Not much to separate them.
   
   If graphics really matter though, people should buy a PC.

   I've still got a 360 and have been toying with getting an XBOX one just for Halo. But the PS4 always seemed more value for money.
   
   This may sway it, depending on the price.

    Most games are running sub-1080p, upscaled to 1080. Very very few are running at native 1080p, and defo not at 60fps.
    
    If you look past fanboyism and hype, theres not a lot to choose between the two, but froma graphical standpoint the ps4 is more capable, no question.

    Ah my bad, forgot upscaled and native. Still looks better than the 360 did I was just going off the scale the TV pops up when i change games etc (Says in the top left corner what the tv is running at, 1080p etc)
    
    I'm not a fanboy btw, i'm 26, i dont have time for that. The PS4 was just the best at the time. I had a 360 before this and they seriously disappointed me, just like the PS3 did at the time.
