my thoughts on the two corporations in general.

Microsoft needs to be replaced. its to corrupt from what ive seen.

sony needs to lower their prices.

both systems have great games i enjoy.
what i hate most is the fact that they are both expensive.

which is the main reason im sick of expensive prices on release.

as later on they are soon replaced. and made obsolete in the end.

which means it will be extremely difficult to find them after that happens.

im sick of this trend i just think it needs to change.

releasing at extremely high prices to milk the money from ppl who are the first inline to get it. then lower the price for those who wait.

i want to shorten that waiting period.

They release them at a high price because they need to cover the initial cost of creating the infrastructure to build the systems. Video game systems have custom hardware meaning they have to create machines to specifically build them which costs a lot. They get cheaper as they get along in their life because the initial cost is covered and advances in manufacturing technology allow for cheaper production.

Also, if you consider inflation, the PS4 and XB1 are actually priced similarly to previous consoles. Link

Edit: whoops wrong section. Try back-ordering through Walmart or some other place... $399 for a new one without the extras. Like $500 with the extras. Not that I'm saying to switch... I just dislike it when people make dumb statements that lead to wrong behavior.

You just spoke about almost every electronic and vehicle (cause they ain't like the good old days of when a car would last 15 years) Sucks, but that's the way of things. why wait to get the ps3 when the ps4 is out in two months? Like those that get a game for cheaper, but only after waiting a year. then that game has a sequel out. lol I get the saving cash part, but the gamer in me is like what you talking about will?! exactly. will.

Roll of quarters and a Tron machine was enough for me. Not exactly. 1080p shows from an external usb onto my PS3 then we all watch the shows. Then we do what was stupid about the show we just watched. I.e. Walking Dead ,my ten yearold asked why they do not drive a harvester combine and chew up thousands of zombies per harvester. I had to give an explanation on that the show has to focus on scarce guns to create tension and drama. Then after watching Continuum I had to give an explanation on three point lighting used to show off the interior of vehicles. And we talked about unstable temporal bubbles versus stable temporal bubbles with no math involved. Then we saw Myth Busters. Etc.
8213 BIG BAD W0LVES 781	Posted - 2013.11.21 21:34:00 - [24] - Quote Lets be honest, the only people still playing DUST play it because they are at the top of the food chain on a free game. What other game a skill gap so large that you can win a match in statement fashion with your eyes closed? This game is to much of a garbage pile to pay for, or to play for any kind of enjoyment. Do you think anyone would still play this game if it weren't for the fact that it's a buffet for veterans players? Hanging out with my friends on the game and going into easy games is pretty much the only reason I still play. We don't protostomp, and we lose often enough. Its just something to do until better things come along, aka- PS4. Buy a PS4, keep your PS3 for DUST if you want. But remember, DUST is 99% likely to never make it on to PS4 before the end of the decade.

Secrets of the PS4: Heavily modified Radeon, supercharged APU design A hell of a lot of design work goes into making the parts of a console to get the most out of it since it is a static platform that cannot be upgraded (performance-wise) later. To insist otherwise is to insult those who worked many, many hours doing so. !
