[wanderer89]

Brought an Xbox earlier, £190 and got skyrim and Forza with it, also brought Halo 4 for £25!

That PS4 looks like AIDS!

Modelled on this

Too much AIDS.

I think this Xbox design looks like a heater don't mean it's a bad design.

Oddly enough I do like that ps4 design because it won't attract dust and is quite unique.

 

[Langers]

I very much doubt whether either is the final design!!

That 'PS4' is fucking rancid. Can't see too much wrong with the Xbox one though.

 

[James]

I think the Xbox one is probably near the final design.

As much as I think that Ps4 design is good, we all know it's miles away from the final design. I am waiting the black gloss space filler to be announced just like the original ps3.

Erm.... How do you know?

Researched it yesterday....

 

[MARKakaJIM]

Not a lot wrong with the Xbox design, miles ahead of the PS4 attempt thus far, i've seen better looking packaging on Smart Price products.

 

[James]

Researched it yesterday....

yepp of course.

and It just seems like a realistic design for microsoft Langers. I always take sony's prototype announcement designs and specs with a pinch of salt as well.

Announced design (2 ethernet ports, 6 usb ports, 2 hdmi ports)

final design (4 usb ports, 1 ethernet port, 1 hdmi port, boomerang controller never sold)

So they changed the controller, other than going from silver to black the console design looks near identical!

the colour is everything mark. The picture is bad apologies, the silver one that was announced was a little smaller than the original black one and more powerful.

I think one thing Sony does well is to promote it's consoles give it stella games and then release a hand held dubbed as a "mini ps3" then not give a fuck about it.

Console colouration is a massive issue!

It looked so ridiculous when i had a white Xbox 360 next to a black PS3 under my TV, thank God they bought out the Elite so i could go and get a black one to match up with the PS3, my room looks so much better now!

It actually is though mark, when will they learn that Black gloss is a finger print and dust magnet.

Who gives a fuck?! They're not there to be aesthetically appreciated, they're there to play games on! You can barely see any of my consoles in the TV unit they're in, well you can see them at all for the most part because the TV unit is about the same height as my bed so that completely obscures them from most viewpoints.

 

[James]

People with OCD give a fuck you know. You make a very valid point but honestly Mark would you buy that PS4 design even though you're rarely going to see it with it being in the tv unit?

Depends how much i wanted/needed the PS4, i didn't care for the looks of the Xbox 360 but i've had 3 of them, dont play on the consoles anywhere near as often as i used to though so probably wouldn't bother upgrading unless one of them breaks, aesthetics wouldn't really be an factor in the decision.

 

[James]

Good answer and I hated the xbox design and I brought 3 of them as well 2 original and 1 slim for my bro. All that matters is the games you play on them at the end of the day.

Speaking of games

Apparently the GTA 5 release date is March 24th according to the rumour sites.
