Sony PlayStation 4 Revealed!

Except cheaper, and better to use in a living room instead of a desktop.

I'm all pro-PC but I see the point of consoles, yes

I get bored of consoles after 2 minutes. :roll:

Not to mention the extremely poor build quality on Sony's Playstation 2 and onward. I don't know about the PS1, but good luck finding any PS2 that's unmodified AND still works. The disc mechanism is just so poor and flimsy, it just dies of regular use after three years or so. I know mine did, and honestly, it's nothing but logical, because it bears the name 'Sony'. How many PS3s need a laser replacement after 1 year? Disc read errors, anyone? Red screen of death, anyone? Fact is, if you use them regularly, Playstation disc mechanisms don't last for more than 3 years if it's an old one, and if you've got a PS3, you'll be replacing plastic lasers on a yearly base.

Of course, these are just my estimations, if you don't use it that often, it will obviously last longer. It's not the technology either. My Philips CDD882 was built in 1989, used almost daily, and hasn't required a single modification or repair yet. This is just the disc mechanism that they screwed up, but I've read stories about overheating, it not booting up anymore, all sorts of stuff, really.

I wouldn't spend more than $100 USD on a console, because replacing all that stuff can be annoying, because Playstations aren't very forgiving when putting them back together. Not to mention the price of the parts if you can find any at all. PCs are much more reliable, you can buy quality parts and pick from dozens of manufacturers, combine parts with specifications that match each other nicely, and use cases, fans, and heatsinks to treat these parts properly. All stuff that's almost impossible to do in a Playstation.

I really hope for all the console gamers that the new generation of consoles will be built more properly than all the previous ones, but I highly doubt. Apperently it's impossible to build quality products that read discs for a decent price anymore.

My PS2 still works, the slimline one  :pop:

Some will, but you have to take extreme care of those models. They have a horrible habit of breaking very easily due to dust and heat.

Yup, very occasionally it locks up on FIFA '05 < Best FIFA ever!

You're a special snowflake. The rest of the world enjoys games in most platforms

This video should sum up the annoucement/reveal conference for everyone; and I must admit it is pretty damn accurate.

I get bored of consoles after 2 minutes. :roll:

"I get bored of consoles after 2 minutes blebleble"

BIG WOW, I HATE SOMETHING THAT OTHERS LIKE BECAUSE ITS BORING


Everything appeals to someone at one point on another, you don't need to show off how you're special with sticking to your console or PC, its your own choice only, no need to tell how glorious one or another is.

I didn't want to continue this argument, but I see this too much for it to go unnoticed.

Like a console? fine. Don't like it? fine

[SugarD]

Hey now boys and girls, there is no need to make this personal.

You have problems understanding what I said, I said I get bored of consoles after 2 minutes, not that I hate them..
Go take your hard man attitude somewhere else please.

  Mr D is right this time. He was just stating an opinion..
