i planned to get the PS4 in June due to the new Batman Arkham Knight, but now I'm leaning to the Xbox One.

So which is best: PS4 or XBox One?

I also have all three and while I was Xbox 360 all the way and just got mostly PS3 exclusive games for our PS3, I have now done a complete 180. I greatly prefer the PS4 over the Xbox One with the only exception being that the PS4 controllers (not all, but some batches?) don't hold up well over time. We've had issues with the trigger/bumper buttons breaking and the analog sticks grips wearing off in a matter of a month to 4 months (depending). We have had some controllers that have lasted and shown no issues (the best being a grey/white camo controller) but the others that have had issues were both white and black controllers.

Edit- Also, you'd probably get more answers about this topic if it weren't in the retro game collection thread.

wow, how can you afford them all?
$350 for the XBox One, and then $75 for a second controller, and $30 for the Lego Batman 3 game...about $500 dropped on a new system alone...so, I'm guessing $1000 for both, and I don't even want the WE.

I don't know about The Canadiandrome but we got the Xbox One last year with our tax return, the PS4 last year when my hubby got hit by a car and they gave him cash cause his back hurt (he was fine, I guess they just wanted to make sure we wouldn't sue?) and the Wii U this year with our tax return.

A better place to get answers for the question would've been here: http://forums.thetechnodrome.com/showthread.php?t=21346, no biggie. Plus a nice thing about PS4 vs Xbox One is PlayStation Plus is $50 a year vs Xbox Live is $60. But if you are already paying for Xbox Live on your Xbox 360 then it is good on your Xbox One as well. The same goes for PS4/PS3.

Does PSN give free games each month? I am totally loving the FREE games on Xbox Live Gold

Yes, usually more than one.

For March for PS4 it was: New & Tasty: Abe's Oddysee, Valiant Hearts, CounterSpy & Ollie Ollie 2. I haven't played CounterSpy or Ollie Ollie 2 but Abe's Oddysee is a blast (I love Oddworld games) and Valiant Hearts is a beautiful story. The games for PS3 were Sherlock Holmes: Crimes and Punishments, Papo & Yo & CounterSpy.

For April there's 3 games for PS4 & 3 games for PS3. Not to mention that you can get free games for the Vita as well.

We just need an active mod in this section again so so badly. There needs to be so much thread cleanup and clarification in here.

I was stopping at my local gamester picking up MK X and I looked at there Retro section. $130 for Mega-man X I can't believe some of the prices. They wanted 80 or $90 for the set of NES TMNT games. Couldn't believe it. I only have a few dollars into my collection literally bought them a few years back off a friend for a few bucks.

When did prices sky-rocket???? I hate to see what earthbound is going for.

Does it work like iTunes and Xbox Gold Live where you download them, but if your hard-drive gets full, you can just delete them and download them again later if you want to?

Now, I used to want an old computer game/NES Game that PSN redid, called THEXDER. This THEXDER NEO was back in the PS3 days. Would that be available for the PS4 on the PSN? Or can it only be played on PS3?

I still remember when MMX for SNES was (at max) a $10 game a handful of years ago. I can't imagine the original is really that rare or in such demand. Now MMX2 or 3, I can understand.

Take this sh*t to the thread for current stuff or make a new thread for it. How many times do you need to be told this isn't the place for it?

Fifty-plus pages of SNES and Saturn talk and then this. Nice contribution there, boyo.

TAKE YOUR PS4/XBOX TALK OUT OF HERE BEFORE I TRASH YOUR HOUSE AND SET YOUR KIDS ON FIRE.


There. I could so be a moderator.
