    I knew nothing about the Xbox One and had a look at the price there. €500 :eek:

    How is it that the Xbox is €500 and the PS4 is only €300?! What am I missing?

    Don't think I'll be getting it anyways. Sure I only buy 1 game a year :o

    PS4 is €400, if you're already on xbox, your current gold account will do, otherwise you'll have to pay for ps+.

    The kinect.

    The Kinect - now you can commando lunge in real life. Just make sure you've plenty of room if you plan to halo jump - drop shot.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 11,139 ✭✭✭✭Mr. Manager


    The Sony store online has the PS4 retailing at $399 which is €300...

    In the US it will be $399. Here it will be €399.

    Ah, surely it would be cheaper to buy from someone in the states and have them ship it as a "gift". Obviously depends on knowing family/friends there.

    With customs charges, shipping and then having to get power converters.. probably not.

    That's why I was saying make sure it's a "gift". You don't pay customs on that.

    Guess I'll stick with the 360 for now :o


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 906 ✭✭✭Randall Floyd


    I think the xbox one is more expensive because it comes bundled with the kinect.

    The American price doesn't include tax as different states have different tax %'s.

    pretty much sums it up really, its been acknowledged by sony that they dropped the ps eye to make the console cheaper. now they're stuck with controllers that have blue lights on the back of them that serve no purpose unless you fork out another hundred quid for the eye.

    I made my choice based on the fact that I like how the xbox 360 evolved from just a games machine to something that has sky player, youtube, netflix etc. Even my missus would admit that we've gotten serious value out of it. I'm looking forward to seeing where the xbox one will go in the future.

    Bit shítty considering I already have it.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 8,503 ✭✭✭Makaveli


    Probably even more shitty considering nobody ever uses it yet it's driving up the cost.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 3,721 ✭✭✭Kells...


    Yeah,I really don't see any incentive to get the Xbox over the PS4 at the moment tbh

    You just miss me. Don't lie.

    Thinking of ps4,seems more of a console,which I want. I don't particular want a media box,might get one after launch.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 1,908 ✭✭✭mozattack


    Checked out COD Ghosts on Twitch - it looks really good, reminds me of a game on my son's PSP. How the hell is this game so successful?... genuinely asking this question?

    Think I'll wait until around Christmas before getting a new console. Would like to see what is the general consensus as to what is better

    bit of a rundown on the new dedicated servers here, it also explains why we end up in lobbies with frenchies so often.

    Pure bull. Irish lads I've come across are usually try hard's or just crap but never camp. French people are the biggest wussies in COD. By all means, they will use the cheapest way to play the game be it a whole 10 minutes camping using an LSAT with a target finder, or some other troll like ways. Can't stand the freaks.

    Agreed, I've never played against an Irish guy that has camped anywhere near as much as a French guy.

    Ha, I've played WITH and AGAINST Irish people who do exactly what your saying.


    Its not a certain nationality that's the problem, its the players themselves.
