[QUOTE="Janx, post: 6314589, member: 8835"] unless something's changed, Skyrim is not on the PS4 and will not be. It was a PS3,360, PC title. They seldom go back to older titles and re-release them on new consoles (yes it happens, but not on most things). since the XbOne and the PS4 are not backwards compatible, the only thing "portable" is your PSN account or Xbox Live account. Which at least means your active subscription is good on the new hardware and old at the same time. Both PS4 and XbOne have mirrored each other in tech, services and pricing for the console and the services. Both are $400. Both do not require a paid account to use Netflix, etc. Both require a paid account to play online multiplayer. And the paid account is $5 vs. $6 a month for PS4/XbOne respectively. The PC will cost more to get into the game. I just paid about $1900 for an Alienware 14 laptop fully loaded (warranties, etc included). It'll last, but probably not as long as the 6-10 year span of a console. But the games will have better graphics, and you can run mods, which is why the wife switched to PC gaming. it's also more of a PITA to deal with tech issues that come up on the PC, which as an IT guy, I can fix, but it invokes more work on me than my consoles ever have to support her PC.
