Wzd wrote I'm going to get hate because this is in the Xbox One section. I have had Xbox for about 5 years now and I am switching to the Playstation 4. Why? I'm switching because I don't have to worry about my privacy, Playstation has better specs and is a cheaper price. Here are some points of why I believe Playstation is the better option.

1. Online is cheaper on Playstation. Don't forget the benefits of Playstation Plus.

2. Xbox made all their announcements about DRM

3. Even though they changed their DRM, they seem cocky in all their interviews, "If you don't have online, we have a console for that, it's called the 360".

4. Sony seem to me like they're here for the games and are going to focus on gaming unlike Microsoft who are making an Entertainment box, which I don't personally want or need.

5. Yes, you do have to pay for the Playstation online but it's still alot cheaper and you get more for what you're paying for.

6. Xbox exclusives? Playstation's equilavent to Forza 5 is Drive Club and Dead Rising 3's is Dying Light.

7. Why would I pay the extra money for Kinect, when I don't even like it?

8. Playstations have stepped up their game massively and they put Microsoft in their place.

9. This wasn't a reason for why I am getting a Playstation 4 but the design of it looks better also.

10. I wanted something that was new to me and the Xbox One's dashboard looked like the current one but Black with a Windows 8 feel.

wow 10 $ cheaper isnt much of a difference ps went from free to getting as **** and i wonder if there going to improve there shitty servers with that money but they havent announced any of that

Anything you pay for say like Netflix, Hulu, or even if you have Free-to-play games you dont need PS+ also developers choose whether their game requires PS+ or not.

i rather pay 60 for alot of things like early DLC, netflix, and a reliable server and protection and all other gold features instead of paying 50 just play your game online becuase thats basicly what your getting lmao
Hmm clearly you dont know what PS+ has lol...

Your PlayStationPlus Membership Includes

12 Hit games for PlayStation3 and 6 for PS Vita
New games added to your collection every month
Exclusive discounts of 10% - 75% on the PlayStationStore
One membership works across PS4, PS3 and PS Vita systems.

18 games for your PS3 and PS Vita

PlayStationPlus is Your Instant Game Collection. You receive 18 games for your PS3 and PS Vita when you join, with 12 hit PS3 games and 6 hit PS Vita games. New games are added to the collection every month, so your collection grows larger the longer you are a member.
Discounts up to 75% off

With your PlayStationPlus membership, get access to exclusive discounts of up to 75% in the PlayStationStore. Enjoy even deeper discounts on PlayStationStore sales. Keep an eye out for the PlayStationPlus logo.

[ Register or Signin to view external links. ]
And as I said before you really dont even have to pay for PS+ to use Netflix or any other apps, unlike Xbox which you have to pay $7 a month for something you already pay for, stupid.

so basically your paying to get discounts that makes sense lol

I like 90% of what you said but i like the new kinect but still doubt I would ever actually use it like they want it to be integrated & I don't want my Kinect to Malfunction and be stuck without an Xbox til they fix it.

Here's a few more reasons incase you're unsure..


- Sony didn't try to screw us over and expect us to come back with open arms. Sony have also stuck with what they originally said, you can tell that they upgraded the controller with the dualshock 4, light bar ( that the Playstation senses ). If you like Kinect.. Sony do have similar products that have been announced.

I recommend you to have a look on Playstation's official website and look at some of the videos and news, be sure to have a look at Playstation Plus as it is well worth the money.

Playstation Plus is only needed for Online Multi-player, this means that you can still watch films online or socialise with others. For 3 months it's 12 pounds which is less than Xbox Live is for three months. You also get ear phones with your Playstation for no additional cost unlike Xbox One where you will have to buy a brand new headset. What you said about 'sh*tty servers' isn't true either, there servers will be just as good as Xbox's, Xbox may have more servers but that's only one thing on Playstation.. Are you forgetting the specs that the Playstation has? it WILL run smoother,faster and have better graphic detail than the One. Rant over.

The prices on Amazon don't matter. It's what Microsoft and Sony sell the memberships for. Go to Walmart or gamestop, A year of PS Plus is $50 and XBL is $60 for a year. The stock price matters not the discounted, if people wanna buy off of amazon then let em, but I'd rather walk to the store and get it the same day.

PS Plus is awesome. Free games, discounts, early betas, and automatic updates. Only thing Xbox Live lets you do is Party Chat, Media services, and online multiplayer.. Party chat and media services on PS4 doesn't require a membership.

i don't see how people say Microsoft screwed people over if neither console has came out?
