I prob won't bother getting one yet... I got the PS3 in order to play GTA IV... obv got red dead redemption and GTA V now too

when another GTA/similar title comes out, I might get a new console - probably a PS4... but am not going to be rushing to buy one

Not sure if or when I'd get one, but it would likely be an Xbox as that's what I know.

Could quite well end up living without a TV though.

Sticking to PC, and sadly don't have the time currently to warrant purchasing a new console!

meh
lots of potential.
going to take a while for these next gens to get the developers to catch up.
nice how its all voice controlled.
xbox on for example will switch on my tv from stancby & boot the xbox up

so lots of neat ideas behind it. Game wise, I only got fifa & madden & they are the same gameplay all old gen, just neater graphics.

It's a good machine but missing a lot of stuff. There are very few apps available, so having to use the 360 to access the Sky app and others. Also, they have cut voice messages so you can only do text messages which seems like a step backwards. Another annoying thing is that party chat is turned off as standard when you create or join a party. Had to message a few people to turn it on after they joined me in a party. Being able to switch apps very quickly with voice commands is very good and convenient.

As for the games, I bought Battlefield 4, Ryse and Dead Rising 3. DR3 is loads of fun, crazy combo weapons and vehicles that you can run round and kill the zombies with and the Smart Glass app adds to the game giving extra missions and stuff. Battlefield 4 is, well, Battlefield but with nicer graphics. Ryse is a lot better than I was expecting. It's like the Conan game that came out for 360 in that the levels are linear but it has a good story and lots of violence. It is also the game with the best graphics I have seen so far, no jagged edges anywhere and it looks very movie like in the cut scenes.

Question I haven't seen asked, I guess since not many people use the feature: Can you rip audio CD's to the hard drive like you can on the 360? Does it have a visualizer and custom tracks?

Or is it all Zune/Xbox music?

And have you tried playing a Blu-ray movie yet?

I've played a Blu-ray and you are first required to install the Blu-ray Player app but after that it just runs the disc like a standard Blu-ray player.

Not tried audio CDs yet, may have to give it a go

Tried it last night. Put in audio CD, download Audio CD Player app, play CD.

No option to rip CD to HDD unfortunately. You can however, snap the Audio CD Player app to the side of a game and listen to a CD while playing. Problem with that is if you're game is a physical copy you wouldn't be able to use the CD app.

My ps4 is a lot louder than I hoped and expected
