Re: E3 Discussion Thread

Just pre-ordered my PS4. Can't wait to see how Microsoft responds to all of this, though.

He's right. Nearly everything Sony showed was multi-plat. Microsoft's exclusives looked way more exciting.

FYI, BB preorders are now up.

Re: E3 Discussion Thread

Frankly I am waiting to pre-order either system.
Other than the used game stuff and no DRM, Sony didn't wow me either.
I am VERY iffy of pay for online with PSN.
It's never been as fast as LIVE on my network.

Feel that way myself. I tried to view Sony's conference on my PS3 and had problems; had to log onto my computer/cnet.com just to see it. Well-played conference by Sony though. I'm pretty surprised it's MS pushing the DRM stuff. Add on the additional $100 price point and it'll definitely come off as hubris on Microsoft's part. I still like the MS controller, Xbox Live, and the multimedia extras/cool Kinect tricks you'll get w/XB1.

But haven't seen anything from either company that would make me want to purchase either system this year. Eventually I'll own both, as I own a PS3 and a 360 now. I got my 360 way before I got a PS3. But as of today I'd lean towards purchasing a PS4 first before I get the XB1.

Microsoft's games werent going to win them anything. And PS4 had its fair share of exclusives as well.

The games werent the decider today. We knew what the big deal of E3 this year would be. And Sony was well aware of it obviously.

Re: E3 Discussion Thread

The last part of the Conference was funny for sure...I'll probably still get the Xbox but now not getting at launch. With all the people getting the PS4 and not being happy with the restrictions Xbox One not going to do to well. I have a feeling those prices are going to drop real fast on the Xbox.

Titanfall looked great, but other than that I'll take The Order: 1866 and all the indie games over the rest of the MS lineup.

Re: E3 Discussion Thread

I definitely liked MS's conference better in terms of the games shown. However, the PS4 offers way more value at the current price points. I'm an xbox fan, but I can't ignore that.

MS already has its selling points. Kinect, TV Integration, Better Entertainment/Online Ecosystem (at this point) and the potential of cloud computing. The question is are they compelling enough to justify the price point.

A lot of smoke is blown about used games and always online but the price point is what actually matters. The perception before E3 was that MS was playing it safe specs wise and PS4 was going for the premium gamers system, yet the price points are the opposite of that. Microsoft has done a **** job at properly positioning the XBOX ONE and their PR has been even worse.

They've got a lot of selling to do by October.

They are pricing bundles in comparison to full retail of Xbone alone.

PS4 and a couple games for 570 seems reasonable compared to Xbone bare no games for 500. Its clever enough lol

The NBA Live bundle is the best imo if that means it comes with a second controller and NBA Live for 459
