I went from Xbox 360 to PS3, and thought the PS3 controllers were rubbish in comparison....and they were. Thumbs slipped off the sticks, and the triggers were angled weird.

...but as anything, you get used to it. Apparently the PS4 pad has improved triggers, and slightly wider sticks, so we'll see.

Here's an annoying **** with an overview..

The don't even have proper triggers. They just feel like modified R2/L2 buttons from the original controllers! Placement feels weird even on the PS4, like I have to use my middle finger.

Well, if it's converting 500w to heat, what the hell is powering your components? :mrgreen:

Can you tell Playstation that you did it just to annoy me please Jamie? I'm worried they might think you've bought it because it's the best one, when it's just shit. I'll let them know on Twitter as well.

Why not get the best special edition console ever
yeah it's the same colour as the original breezeblock ps1 and has.....
a sticker! Whoo woo
gofasterstripes
should read "minted PC gaming master race", seeing as how they are the only ones who can afford to buy a machine that'll run inefficient not-at-all optimised crap ports of modern console games.

I have not got one yet. I was leaning towards the Xbox One due to preferring the Microsoft controllers, then a friend got an Xbox One so that's pretty much settled it. I still won't be getting one for a while though.

Will do. PS4 incoming. £340 from Tesco with Far Cry 4 and Little Big Planet 3. The latter two will be off to Cex for £70 when they get here, and will start with some of the earlier* titles.

Bottom line is, this ain't a tattoo. I can always swap/get a Xbox One down the line. I liked both previous consoles, and sure this won't change. Last time round I had a Xbox360 at the start, then picked up a PS3 cheap once the PS4 came out, and burned through all the PS3 exclusives. The added benefit being, they were cheap as chips. This time I am just doing it the other way round.

...plus, y'know PS4 R0cKz tH3 N00000b M$ shiznots! ...or something.

*cheaper 😀

They're very good but as it's a new software it's taken awhile for newer games to come up to a high standard but that goes for Xbox One too.

To be honest, I have broken my own rule of waiting 2 years before pulling the trigger.

Ah well.

I did too but I'm pleased I did as I enjoy mine.

May have to get back into tomorrow as not been near it for 2 weeks, I took a break to get some work stuff sorted.

I am still wondering if I should have been a bit more adventures, and got the white version.

...but then I realised it would look like a stormtrooper under the telly. 😀

That's a reason to get one.

I realised that as I was typing 🙁

Actually, I think the biggest reason is hiding the, literal, filth. As I imagine a white controller is going to get a bit grubby. I know my 360 ones didn't look too clever after a while.

the ps1 boot up noise

Good lord I'd forgotten about that noise!

That's me revelling in nostalgia for the rest of the evening.

*goes to play it again*
