    Yeah I'm not really worried about all the exclusives and s---, like I said, I really only just wanna get 2k, GTA V, and BF1. And if there is a way I can get online for free on PS4 then I'm just gonna do that.

    yeah i think a few games/the console come with a like '10 day free psPlus trial' or whatever. some PS games also don't need PSPlus to go online. im pretty sure 1 year of xbox live/ps plus is like $70 a year (or very minor difference) so its not rly that expensive anyways

    There's only one option as someone purchasing a new console: ps4 pro

    This is true for the previous generation, not for this one.

    Xbox controllers still require batteries. Had my PS4 since launch after being a 360 user. Best decision I've made.

    - better games
    - better hardware
    - no problems
    - great online/ PSN service

    And the online community events are cool too (I.e. Overwatch's Halloween makeover).

    not really a good argument mainly on the no problems and great online service as that can happen to any console and the overwatch makeover was for every console as well

    bro i have a ps4 too but psn is straight up garbage and they just raised the price of it
    since i got my ps4 it's gone down every single christmas morning, sony is notorious for getting their servers hacked and customer privacy violated and PSN just goes down randomly sometimes with no rhyme or reason

    Didn't know it was across the board on other consoles. My mistake. I say "no problems/great online service" more so on the fact they have regular maintanence and stability fixes. So they're typically on top of things which I like. I haven't experienced any issues on psn besides servers going down from some Indy hacking group lol. But that's just personal opinion and experience tho.

    Get the new PS4 Pro that just dropped a few days ago

    PS4 Pro is coming out this November 4, 2016. Sony adds in an AMD Radeon graphics card with 4.2 teraflops. It will support games with 8GB of RAM and 1TB of internal space. Processing power comes in from an Octa-core Jaguar chipset, as reported by GamesSpot. Sony expects the PS4 Pro to evolve the gaming industry to a whole new level. Thus, it would be hard to imagine what PS5 will be capable of doing once it is out.

    oh yeah ps4 has shareplay which is GOAT you can just let ppl play games with you even if they don't own them i don't think xbone lets you do that
    like you can start a game of something that has couch co op and play it online with your friend who doesn't even own the game
    used to play monopoly with satire and proto all the time

    oh yeah on top of that ps4 has a computer program that lets you play your ps4 remotely as long as you have a ps4 controller on you so if you have a laptop or whatever i guess you could play it on a flight or if you were at someones house

    Really? The most I've dealt with is long wait times to find games and s---. But word, it does go down randomly at times.

    My only real issue with my PS4 is that it's a pain in the a--- to buy anything in the store. Apparently none of my cards work on the store, so I have to buy ps codes on Amazon. Better off that way probably tbh
