Diabolos80 Posted June 13, 2013 Author Posted June 13, 2013 Great video. Can you believe the balls on Sony? It's like it's 1995 again. Quote

Guest ph4tb0i Posted June 13, 2013 Posted June 13, 2013 Almost 800.00 0 feedback could be some jerk trying to tie up an auction with the good ol' e-check. Quote
Darth_Raichu Posted June 13, 2013 Posted June 13, 2013 Most are new users. I bet they created those accounts today especially to bid on ps4 Quote
Darth Lego Posted June 13, 2013 Posted June 13, 2013 Almost 800.00 Sold for $830 and $32.85 for shipping! I will probably end up getting a PS4 since I'm a Sony guy and I haven't got a new console since the PS2, but paying that much for a $399 console is a little much IMO. I would much rather save my money and wait till they are available in stores after the craze dies down. Quote
Diabolos80 Posted June 13, 2013 Author Posted June 13, 2013 Too bad it sold to a buyer with 0 feedback. If I were the seller, I'd be pretty nervous about that. Quote
stephen_rockefeller Posted June 18, 2013 Posted June 18, 2013 How are all these people listing PS4 presales getting away with it when EBay's policy clearly states that pre order items must be available to ship within 30 days of auctions end???? Quote

If no one knows the rules they can't complain about it. Usually ebay does not enforce rules unless someone complains about it. I have been using ebay for years and I did not know about this rule. Of course I never peeorder anything off ebay. It is so much cheaper and easier preordering from other places than ebay Quote
Diabolos80 Posted June 18, 2013 Author Posted June 18, 2013 I'm tempted to pre-order a ps4 for myself, but I'm hesitant for a couple reasons. First, the games available at launch are almost always terrible. Second, glitches. I think I'll wait until the second manufacturing run so Sony can iron out the kinks a bit. Christmas 2014 will be a great time to own a ps4, but i'm confident there will still be plenty to do on ps3 and 360 until then. lol I tell myself that stuff every console cycle, then run out and buy them at launch anyway. Rushed ps3 ports, here I come! Quote
M4x18 Posted June 18, 2013 Posted June 18, 2013 With all the dust that has been removed with the government spying on almost everyone and being Microsoft one of the affected companies, I wouldn't like to have a device that could potentially be monitoring my activities 24/7 without my permission. That said, and after comparing specs for both consoles, titles, price and personal appeal, I'm sticking with PS4. Can't wait to hit Battlefield 4 on that Quote
stackables Posted June 18, 2013 Posted June 18, 2013 I think I will eventually get the ps4. I prefer to actually own my games instead of rent them from Microsoft. 2 Quote
Darth Lego Posted June 19, 2013 Posted June 19, 2013 Microsoft said they are changing two of their Xbox One policies due to recent backlash. I had a feeling they were going to do this. Quote: "All disc-based games can be played without ever connecting online, and the 24-hour connection requirement has been dropped, according to an update to a May post concerning questions about the new device, due to be released this fall. Additionally, there will be no limitations to using and sharing games, Don Mattrick, president of the Interactive Entertainment Business division, says in the post. People will be able to share, trade or resell their games in the same way they do for Xbox 360 games." This is good news for all of the future Xbox One owners. Will this change the Console battle or has the backlash already inflicted irreversible damage?

Friggin M$. On one hand I'm glad they actually listened, but on the other, they solidified their status as a completely dishonest company, inmy opinion. Not to say many other companies aren't, but this revelation really brings things to plain sight. Quote
Diabolos80 Posted June 20, 2013 Author Posted June 20, 2013 Conspiracy Time! Some rumors suggest that the whole Xbox One fiasco was a setup by Microsoft to convince Sony that they could get away with the same ridiculous restrictions. Once Sony took the bait, Microsoft would rescind the restrictions and look like the good guy. Ha! Backfire! Either way, I'm just happy I'll be able to rent games for the XB1 I'm now planning to buy. Corporate strategies don't bother me when it comes to videogames. I just want to play. Quote
TheOrcKing Posted June 20, 2013 Posted June 20, 2013 Does anyone else think the PS4 and XBox One look like the same system? Outside of the controller, they practically are copying each other (and in Batman colors no less). Quote

They'll fit in my cabinet, but there won't be much room for air flow. Still, I like the looks of both. Quote
