       I just heard that EA announced that BF4 will be released for the
       PS4 on 29 October...slip of the tongue or false information?
       That would mean that the PS4 will be released at or before that
       date.  :D

       Interesting one Glad, will need to wait and see for further
       information, considered getting Playstation+ just now, not sure
       if i'd play the games you get for free though  :-\

       That would be pretty early, would be a good advantage for PS4

       Still a fuckin ugly old box tho.
       Interesting that developers wouldn't be too keen to create a
       superior game for one console over the other. Makes sense of
       course but it does make the manufacturers rivalry look a bit
       daft.

       Lol. Mine did see a few hours of COD some months ago. Just
       concerned I might cut myself unpacking it.

       why is this reminder just for my benefit? :P
       ok so read it started out sounding good for PS4, very good   I
       mean this sentence is kinda ridiculous:
       PlayStation 4 is currently around 50 per cent faster than its
       rival Xbox One. Multiple high-level game development sources
       have described the difference in performance between the
       consoles as “significant” and “obvious.”
       After that it went on to say xbox has some advantages too and
       that the specs arent fixed at this stage and then just began to
       bore me a little.
       Then you read more stuff like this:
       “The poor [graphics] drivers have made it difficult to push
       either of them, and the developers aren’t familiar with the
       hardware yet,“
       and i almost find myself back at the point where it comes down
       to personal preference, which for me would always be xbox.
       Does make you wonder if the smart option is to hold off till
       next year when the developers have figured out what to do and
       the spec on the console's is done and dusted.   Kinda makes it
       sound like they will be updating them even after release, which
       if you ask me is a tad fucked up.

       Made me do some digging and i stumbled upon some techy minded
       people's forum.  Found this interesting comment?  Im assuming
       (with good reason) that these guys know a helluva lot more than
       i do.
       Right...so even IF newer games support 8 cores/thread, which is
       a good thing, will it even MATTER? I mean, a 2500k could do two
       things on a single core and still be much faster than next-gen.
       So I guess what I'm getting at is that the 8-core CPU in
       next-gen really doesn't mean anything. Sony and MS could have
       just slapped a dual core Intel or AMD in next-gen and we'd still
       have the same, if not better, performance.
       I don't know...I just find it kind of disappointing that not
       only is next-gen's graphic performance equal to a current
       mid-range desktop GPU but that the CPU's aren't even comparable
       to a 7 year old Intel Q6600...not even close!
       Like, how does Sony and MS even expect these CPU's to last 8+
       years? They are already underpowered compared to what we had
       desktop wise when current gen consoles CAME OUT!!!

       Happy to go with this fella's comment, in particular the last
       sentence.
       “Ten years ago, you could argue that a console’s power was
       summed up in terms of a few of its specs, but Xbox One is
       designed as a powerful machine to deliver the best blockbuster
       games today and for the next decade.
       Xbox One architecture is much more complex than what any single
       figure can convey. It was designed with balanced performance in
       mind, and we think the games we continue to show running on
       near-final hardware demonstrate that performance. In the end,
       we’ll let the consoles and their games speak for themselves.”
