Don't know what I did to the last thread to mess it up for some.

So, PS4 stuff then.

They could also do with looking at the analog sticks,rubber wearing was shocking.

DS4 has the worst build quality of any PS controller ive owned.

Actually yeah, I never experienced that myself but the trigger buttons were liable to go too. Both me and a friend lost a controller each to a faulty R2 button as they'd stop coming back out fully.

Yeah, definitely have to admit the battery life on them is shockingly bad. It definitely needs to be the one thing above all else they need to improve for any next gen controller.

Gears 4 is pretty poor compared to the original trilogy though, Was a massive fan and was bitterly dissapointed

Yeah I have heard mixed reviews of it alright.

I'll get the one x probably either in Xmas or January depending on availability,

There's no doubting sony has better exclusives.

But I've never played gears or halo etc so if the get some kind of a boost mode, they would be well worth a shot, also single player stuff like assassins creed would be best on the x presumably.

I really loved the Gears of War games. Played the first 3 on the 360 and enjoyed them a lot. That's why Gears of War 4 is really the main Xbox exclusive I'd like to play.

If you've never played any of the Gears games, I'd definitely recommend playing through the originals. Pretty sure they were remastered for the Xbox One a while back. Not sure if they've also been enhanced for the X though like Gears 4 has.

How long are the batteries lasting? I usually get around 8 hours of use from a full charge which usually means I should go do something else if I see the low battery warning.

Yeah usually about 8 hours or so. I usually have one controller plugged in, use the other until I get the low battery warning, then just switch them. But think you used to get over 20 hours at least with the PS3 controllers.

From looking at the blog, they seem to have given this a complete refresh and given Second Screen its own dedicated app. I'll have a go of that later when I get home.

I've only just copped it there that they separated the second screen feature from the main app. See a few folks complaining that all the apps should be merged, but to be honest if it speeds up the process of using the second screen as opposed to navigating through a packed core app then I'm all for it.

I'll have to test out how quickly I can go from opening the app to using the Second Screen features however, as those are by far the most useful aspects of the app but it used to be too slow to even bother using them in most cases.

I find it so bad I usually turn off vibration in games unless it's a needed for a mechaninc in-game. They definitely need to sort the battery next go around.

They've overhauled the Playstation App for Android and iOS. It seems to be working an awful lot better now.

Checked it out there, very nice. Much snappier now than it's previous configuration, not overly arsed by the social 'What's New' stuff, but it's very clean all round. Something that I'll be making better use out of now I'd say.

I find my thumb naturally finds the left stick on the Xbox much more comfortable than the PS one, especially for FPS games.

It's strange though because I've always had PlayStation even before i got the Xboxes and it's always felt better out on its own to the left.

It's definitely one of those things that comes down to personal preference I think, and maybe it's just because I'm so used to where it's always been on PS controllers anyway.

Haven't used the Xbox One controller too much (bar helping a technophobe friend set one up for his kids and a bit of Fifa at another friends house) but I didn't like the 360 controller when I had one. My little fingers kept getting pins and needles. Maybe because I had to have it wired because the play and charge kits never held their charge so I was maybe sitting a bit different than usual.

I never found any big difference in the placement of the left stick though, but prefer the d-pad where it is on the dualshock.

I'm the opposite, find the PS pad terrible. Left stick is in the wrong place, battery life is poor and and I'm not fond of the triggers. The rumble in the triggers on the Xbox are great addition to it.

I was the same. Got the One S a month ago for 240 quid with forza and fifa, sold fifa for 70 quid. Not too pushed on having 4k when its not my main console

Don't know if this is strictly the place to post this so apologies if it should be somewhere else.

Is anyone tempted by the Xbox x? I've had ps4 since launch and then upgraded to the pro at launch. I love my pro and the playstation studios which I think are key but I find myself more and more tempted by the Xbox one x. Am I alone?

For the same reason i wouldnt buy a Pro i wouldnt buy a One X. Both are not going to run games at 60fps consistently. If the One X did i would be looking at buying one.

So same as usual for me,if i want pretty with high framerates i play on PC,if i want to play with friends i play on PS4. Givin PC exclusives and the fact Xbox elclusives are mostly coming to windows i actually think a PC is decent option to go with a sony console rather than am xbox.

Lads I've lost the wireless receiver for my Sony Gold Headset. Any idea where to buy a replacement?

€500 would be too rich for me for a console. It looks like it will be an amazing console but the price and the better exclusives on the PS4 mean I'll stick with what I have for the time being.

Nothing wrong with that. Was interested in it myself for a while. I will hopefully pick one up at some stage but as good and all as the graphics etc will be, I just know I'm going to end up not playing it often enough to warrant it. I'll still play most of my games on the Pro because that's where my main account is (don't even know if my old Xbox Live account is still active or how I'd log into it) and the PS4 has more of the exclusives I want to play. I'd probably end up playing Gears of War 4 on the One X and maybe some multi-plat games, but after that I think I'd still end up mostly playing on the Pro.

If you think you'll play it enough to warrant it and have the disposable income (given that it's coming up to Christmas especially), go for it. Personally, as good as a machine and as much power as it has, I just know I'll not use it enough to warrant it.

On a serious note, I'd love to play Forza but no other full exclusives appeal to me and I think the xbox controller sucks so it's a no from me.
