Seeing as there is no Xbone option, I went with the only logical choice: Okama Gamesphere!

I kinda excluded it since CCP doesn't get along with microsoft. You know with needing a paid membership to play any game online at all(it was awesome,stopped the trollers from making new accounts to mod and hack unless they were rich) But dust and Xbox are not meant to be. Plus I hate Microsoft. I can't unlock my profile anymore because I need to put in a recovery email address,make an impossible password to guess,link my phone number,and somehow after all that,I just get error messages. I found steam much more easy to work with. Plus Xbox one UI is cluttered as flux with ads.
Actually the UI and Xbox Live have changed.
You only need Gold to play Online for certain games or to squad up with others in certain games. Most online games do not require gold to access. It is similar now to Playstation Plus for the PS4.
It's hard to describe the new UI for the Xbone, but it is more clean now.

It's hard to describe the new UI for the Xbone, but it is more clean now. Finally? Man I plugged in my friends xbox one and had to spend half an hour trying to figure out that ui,5 minutes to find the game I was playing out of all the ads that had the same icon as it. Yay. Guess Xbox one has a fighting chance Noe in my book. But I have a psn id already and my Microsoft account is too bloated with security bs. So meh.
Yeah, Microsoft recovery is horrible, I had to recover my old xbox360 account I hadnt use since 2009 when I got my Xbone earlier this year.
I'm surprised you had difficulty, the game in the disc drive was usually in the bottom left corner of the UI center box and most ads were hidden (at least on mine) and your last played game/used app was in the big center box.
Then again, I had my mate show me how to navigate the UI when I first picked it up so I guess that helped.
Also the new Xbox Live policy has been around since the launch of the Xbone, similar to how the new PS Plus policy has been around since the PS4.

In all honesty, unless you are attached to previous achievements and you have digital games from the Xbox360 that will be added to the list of previous gen games they will allow you to play (backwards compatibility has been announced), you are better off making a new account.
Also I'm not trying to convince you to get an Xbone, just wanted to point out the changes (both recent and past). Both the PS4 and the Xbone have their own merits and there are some things (such as the share button) that the PS4 does better. I personally can't afford a PS4 and don't see a point in getting one as Bloodborne is the only exclusive that interests me.

They go for about $600 here. And that's just for the console itself. Getting it shipped from he US would be expensive and could actually get me perma banned from PSN as I would have to do account sharing to use my NZ card on my US account. Yes I could just play on my NZ account, but my Dust character is tied to my US account.
The reason why I have not been banned for account sharing is because I have been buying digital PSN US cards from Amazon, but due to exchange rates, I am actually paying more for a $20 PSN card.

Edit: Reason why I have a US Account is because I lived in California for a few years and bought my PS3 over there. Ahem:'murica is best. Anywhere else is second rate. FREEDOMS INTERNALLY EAGLE SCREECH GUNS N SH!T. Wow them prices are crazy. Wtf Sony y u be so racist? That's a friggen arm and leg right there.
If you think that's bad, new games are even worse!
You are looking anywhere from 100-120 just for a game, no dlc or season pass. Yeah sure, the Warehouse (similar to Walmart) does a two week sale on brand new games, but it is still close to 100. EB Games (our version of Gamestop and is owned by Gamestop) is worse as they do not do that deal. Hell we were lucky that the Pipboy Edition of Fallout 4 is only $210.
Also, there are some editions of games we do not get. For example: Battlefront Collectors, we do not get the cool helmet or statue, we literally get a lousy T-Shirt.

East coast america is pretty nice. It gets cold and can be hot to. Unlike texas. 350$ for a ps4 and 59.99 for games.
How are PC parts over there johnny?
You don't even want to know... I used to get my parts shiped directly from Hong Kong, hell of a lot cheaper than buying a new harddrive and more ram. But I had to wait a couple weeks at a time and on one occasion, I had to drive to Auckland (about a 4 hour drive) to collect it from customs as they did not trust the packaging. This was before my daughter was born and I had the income to do such things.
A 1tb internal HDD would go anywhere from 90-300 depending on the brand bought from NZ. However you still need to get a decent graphics card (roughly between 100-2000, 500 being a cheapest semi decent card), motherboard, ram, tower, cooling system...

Man,and I used go think the .99 cents plus tax was bullshart. They're screwing you for several hundred bucks.
Yup which is why it has taken me months to repair my PC. I know what parts I need, and If I go with the cheapest option, it will end up screwing me over in the long run.
If I had a spare 1,500 or so laying around, I could possibly build a semi decent gaming rig by cannibalizing my old PC. But I just don't have the money for it.
