    I never had a diamond card but I do still have the stuff from the Xbox Live beta testing days. I've got the t-shirt , the little carry case and all the beta discs they sent us.

      Re: Xbox One

      Curious how many of us XBOX'ers supplement their gaming with a PS4. I bought a PS4 last fall in order to play the Sony exclusives, and it was not a wise investment.

      I cannot get the muscle memory of the XBOX button layout (ingrained since 2004) out of my head in order to play the PS4 games. I hesitate practically every time I press a button, having to associate "square" or "triangle" to a location in my head (up, or down, or so on). I was sure enough time practicing would eventually overcome this, but man, it is not. I've kind of gave up on it, and I'm ready to just watch walkthroughs of these game on YouTube.

      I'm not sure how people swap back and forth between two consoles. Maybe I'm just old, dumb, and slow... which is fair!

        I'll likely return to the PS ecosystem with the PS5. I really only had the bandwidth for one console over the last several years, with my primary gaming device being my PC, and the MS Ecosystem blends into that nicely.

            I have a PS4 strictly for exclusives and the VR headset. I own a enough games on PS4 to say it was worth the purchase or me.

              Wow. Never heard or read anyone saying this before. All the buttons are identical. A/Cross, B/Circle, X/Square, Y/Triangle, LB/L1, LT/L2, RB/R1, RT/R2. Except for the big touch pad which is basically the back button on Xbox, everything is the same. Remove the icon/lettering on all the buttons and there's literally no difference as they all function the same.

              I can understand not liking some games for various reasons or preferring one controller over the other but button layout despite basically being identical is definitely a first for me in regards to hearing/reading it as a complaint so bad that the user can't play the games.

                Yeah that's the one. I forgot what it was it for, I think discounts or something...whatever it was for it fizzled out fast lol

                  Yeah, I got a Pro for exclusives and picked up the VR. Definitely worth it. I haven’t turned the console on since I beat Spider-Man though.

                    I'm a Xbox dude at heart but stayed with PS4 this gen. Got rid of my Xbox one as soon as the Ganes with Windows started and confirmed the new Halo be there.

                      So I just started getting into Gears 4 via Games Pass with my new X. I feel like visual modes vs. performance modes play with my brain. I can never settle on one, especially in Gears 4.

                      Back story, I had the X for a few months before upgrading to a 4K OLED, so performance mode on 1080 was my only option. Now that I have a 4K TV, even performance mode looks better on that. Visual mode seems just slightly brighter and more defined, but not by much. I find myself going back and forth, looking for details that don't seem that dramatic.

                      Am I alone in this?
                      Honestly, this is one of the reasons I quit PC gaming. I hated that so much of my gaming time was spent trying to be sure I always had the best balance of graphics and performance. It affected how I played games, as I was always looking at the graphics, not in appreciation, but wondering if they could be a bit better.

                      I mostly stick with performance. but every now and then I will mess around with better graphics. Eventually, I never find the better graphics to be good enough to sacrifice performance. But I kind of hate that this has been introduced to consoles.

                        I bought my PS4 about a year and half ago to play The Show. It has been a poor investment. My wife did play tough HZD and a lot of Ratchet and Clank. I have played some Show, and a little Everybody's Golf and Uncharted 4.

                        My daughter just graduated college, and is home this weekend with a friend. I'm going to send the PS4 with her, as we haven to turned it on in months. She digs Persona5.

                        I play my XB1X nearly everyday. I absolutely love that running the TV through it has made watching TV late at night with headphones on, with Atmos drink the sound, the best way to watch TV.

                        I play games, not exclusives. There are more great games than I have time to play on Xbox, and I absolutely love the ecosystem. I don't mind missing exclusives from other platforms anymore than folks on other platforms don't mind missing the Xbox exclusives.

                          PS4 Pro, XB1 S and Switch for me. I use the PS4 for Sony exclusive games, including MLB The Show. For the Switch, it's first-party games and I'll mix in third-party games that I'd like to play on the go.

                          For the Xbox, it's all about Game Pass, EA Access and Backwards Compatibility.

                            I'm a bit confused by this, I play on both consoles and the button layout is exactly the same. Stop thinking about what is on the button and you will find they all do the same thing on each of the two controllers.

                            PS4 controller X is where A is on the Xbox controller both X and A perform the same function in the same game so it should be second nature. Square = X . Triangle = Y , Circle = B each one does the same thing on each controller so just think of the PS4 controller as having the letters instead of the symbols. The only real difference is the touch pad on the PS4 controller.

                            Old has nothing to do with it I'm 59.

                              Yeah I am with you, I'm 49 and I go back and forth between the two systems without ever having any issues with remembering the button layouts.
