Thanks guys, I'm pretty excited. This will be my first Xbox since the original one.

Re: Xbox One

Ok a question so I'll know before the time comes. When I do get a second XBOX and make it my "Home" XBOX..... Can my daughter still play online on her XBOX or will she need her own LIVE again?

I know right now with my account on the console she can.. just wondering what happens when I get a second one.

Someone else chime in as well, but I think you may want to leave her Xbox the home one and always sign in with yours....that'd allow her to get Live without paying, right?

If your xbox is home then she wouldn't get LIVE on hers without paying? I think that's how it works.

Re: Xbox One

Also for guys with both consoles, how do you decide which console to get the game for, if it's on both?

Generally, if I plan to play the game online, I go with the Xbox version. If it's a single player or a game I won't play online, I'll get the PS4 version.

So basically leave the one I give her as the home console. When I get mine I can just log in with my usual Gamertag etc.. and we both should be able to play online... ?

If so cool..

I always do Xbox One unless it's a game that I know most of my friends/OS will be on multi-player wise then I might choose PS4.

Re: Xbox One

I kinda know the answer to this but what the hell, I'll ask this stupid question anyway...

Is it possible to use an internal SSD as an external SSD for Xbox One and then use it as an internal SSD for PS4 PRO?

Reason im asking is because if I can just buy one SSD and get to use it for both consoles, that would be great. Any info would be appreciated. Thanks.

She'll need Gold again. If you got a second Xbox, logged into it with your account, but kept her Xbox as your home console, she wouldn't need Gold as she would be able to use yours.

By default I get it on PS4 unless I've read there are issues or I have more friends on Xbox Live.

You have to reformat it each time you switch systems.

If it's on both, I go PS4, but I've always leaned towards Sony. I actually prefer the symmetrical design of the DualShock controller. Also, I have 400 friends on PSN vs. 15 or so on XBL. I've never had an issue with either online service. I did have a minor wireless receiver hardware issue on my XB1, but other than that, both consoles have delivered. You definitely can't go wrong with either. Having both, is just butter.

Really? That's it? Nice. Woohoo!!! I'm buying the Samsung Evo 850 500GB SSD next week.

Thanks.

Nice. Hope you enjoy your Xbox One Slim and we're all looking forward to playing Forza Horizon 3!!!

For multi-platform games, I always go with PlayStation 4 for several reasons.

- It's my primary console and I only play my Xbox One for it's exclusives. Basically, the opposite of last gen.

- I absolutely hate and despise the Xbox One's home screen with a passion. It's so ugly, slow and just blah. Why Microsoft didn't just copy Xbox 360 is beyond me. Also, don't like that I have to go through menus in order to find out if a game has a patch/update for it (like I did today with ReCore). Easily prefer the home screen of the PS4 and highlighting an installed game, I can easily press "options" and "check for update" which I love.

- Speaking of installing games, for whatever reason, installing a disc based game is ultra fast on PS4 but slow as a turtle on Xbox One.

- The ability to turn off the controller vibration via the PS4 settings is huge for me as that has to be the most annoying thing ever when playing a game, at least for me. The worse part is that this option existed on Xbox 360 but yet, is somehow missing on Xbox One.

- Resolution is usually higher on PS4 as is the FPS but another reason is that excluding PC, I end up reading about bugs and glitches more in games on Xbox One than I do on PS4.

All of this though is as a single player gamer. If you're an online player, then it's all about where your buddies are playing but at the same time, even I know that Xbox Live craps all over PSN. I know that some here are thinking, there he goes again bashing Xbox One but in fairness, I bash both consoles and companies when I think that they deserve to be bashed but I also praise them when I think that they deserve it.

Bottom line is that it's all about personal preference.
