So currently this is me,

I have though spent some time with a PS4 at a friends house.
So far I've found both things to like and dislike.
Dislike:
- I like that the console can do many things for you in the background, but I just wished that you have more control over it, especially for those with slow and limited internet. For example, you cannot pause downloads and I cannot see that you can choose what games to update and what not, if you are interested in only playing certain games online.
- Poor controller battery life and being unable to switch off the LED on the controller.
- The USB charge port on the controller is awkward, I am afraid the cable will get bent when placed on a flat surface while charging.
- Very hard to “unlearn” the start and select buttons.
- Launch games are pretty crap and don't really show what the console can do.
- I was surprised that I was able to find the eject button. Damn is that thing tiny.
Like:
- The feel of the controller itself is great, and the extra speaker is excellent.
- The Store is MUCH faster, thank goodness.
- The new camera is fantastic, never kept the old one plugged in but looks like this one will stay in always.
- The whole system is a lot faster, loading things, running things, it's all slicker too.
It took me forever to get over the lack of select and start. And the tiny eject button can be a little annoying. But I've gotten the hang of it now.Quote:

It sold as much as 45 per minute at some stage.
All 878 sold in 51 minutes.

For once I wish a new console would come with a must have game (like fallout 4) I would have enjoyed hunting for a launch console with a reason.

True dat, it is the superior platform for those kinda games. Not too mention how awesome it would be to play it with the Oculus Rift.Quote:

but after trying out that free zombie game on Steam I have come to the conclusion that my cards are just.. not good at this stuff.
So right now I'm not sure what to do, invest in a gaming pc to hook up to my 42" plasma tv? or g PS4 and realize that less hassle also means no mods and fixes.
Because I'm sure as shit not gonna sit here behind my desk and play Fallout 4, that shit can last for hours and requires a couch to lounge on.
3.6Ghz FX 8150 3.6Ghz with Gigabyte mATX board and liquid cooling. You would have 3 Times the GigaPower of the PS4Xone!Quote:

I faced the same dilemma myself, it's just easier in the short run to buy a console and be done with it; but in the long run, you'd be shooting yourself in the foot. No access to Console Commands? Or fan patches? Yeah, no thanks. Betheseda make great games, but let's be honest - they're buggy as hell at times. I like my flexibility.Quote:

Ah many thanks Sheath, that's great. Any case you'd suggest for it? (Or can you buy them with cases?)Quote:

If the price beats the same parts new by enough to justify buying it used it would probably be worth it.Quote:

On top of a table or desk they would probably be fine. KoolKitty preferred AMDs newer Octal core models over the FX8150 as well, but if the price is right again I find it a fine processor.
Liquid cooling is honestly overkill. I have an FX-8350 and it gets by just fine in a mid-tower with the standard heatsink that came with it. Granted I have two 120mm fans and one 80mm fan in my case to help get more air circulation, but a similar setup should be the norm for anyone putting in decent components.
Well it depends on how those Jaguar cores stack up. We won't really know that until sometime next year when they start becoming available as a consumer cpu.Quote:

I mean, it's okay if you say no, you've helped me out enough as it is and I really appreciate it, but you seem to be the most knowledgable one on these forums regarding the subject and I respect your opinion.Quote:
