[QUOTE="Janx, post: 6143425, member: 8835"] An addendum: I've now seen some official blurbage on the PS4. They did get the pricing right. MS may have reached too far with a $500 price tag, and Sony may have gotten the memo on pricing with a $400 price tag for the PS4. That's going to be a big decider for people. We'll have to see how the used game thing plays out. There's a lot of FUD surrounding that. given that in actual practice, there's no used game market for the PC or mobile OSes, consumers can and will accept a no-resale model. That said, those same platforms don't tend to see new titles for $60, some of which could be offset by reselling the game for $20-30 after you beat it quickly enough. I think marketing will massage that problem out of the system. I'm not worried about the stupid Kinect camera spying on me. That's just not a probability to be an actual problem. More annoying is the Kinect itself. While it's a great premise that every TV will have a camera so we can all have Video Phones that AT&T promised us in the 70's, the Kinect flail-control and retarded voice control leave much to be desired. Unless it's a huge improvement over the current model, I would probably just leave mine disconnected. The current model Kinect mistakenly hears things and takes off doing stuff my my movies when I have most certainly not addressed it. I'm still not inclined to give Sony more of my money, as there are more synergy bonuses for staying with MS than switching back to Sony. However, I'm also not pleased with the $100 increase on price to get in the game. I will probably just wait a year, to see if the price drops on the Xbone. that will also reveal if it suffers from any hardware defects. [/QUOTE]
