eddie Posted August 6, 2013 Share Posted August 6, 2013 Consoles cost less they always do - unless you build your own. Do people actually still buy machines off the shelf? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

May Contain Nuts Posted November 10, 2013 Share Posted November 10, 2013 Yes but on a 'just in case' basis, not really committed to getting one. I had an X1 order with Tesco but didn't follow through because it appears to be rubbish. ShopTo seem to have loads of stock and the website says you can order there as late as the 27th and still get it first day. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Srg Posted November 11, 2013 Share Posted November 11, 2013 Still hearing they havent fixed the issues from PS3 with regards to fancying just sticking a game in and playing for an hour, only to have to wait 2 hours just for some random download and install.

May Contain Nuts Posted November 11, 2013 Share Posted November 11, 2013 Well, I think they've said the same as Microsoft in that you can start playing games whilst they're downloading. Disc-based game installs are madatory on both consoles... as they are on PCs, and Macs. It's not even an issue 'to be fixed' IMO. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Can't ever just jump on because of a ridiculously long install/download. I have both consoles, so this isn't a fanboy comment. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
May Contain Nuts Posted November 12, 2013 Share Posted November 12, 2013 I have both and wasn't accusing you of being a fanboy, just never found it a problem really. Both new consoles will require this anyway, but it is supposed to be a lot smarter and installs just what you need at the start first, letting you play whilst it installs the rest.

SSD Posted November 16, 2013 Share Posted November 16, 2013 Be crazy to buy a launch console when a slim version with all the faults fixed plus more memory and cheaper next year Exactly. Been telling everyone at work to wait til next year because there's bound to be issues with the 1st version. But everyone can't help themselves. They'll be taking the day off to queue at midnight Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
