Re: What consoles are you buying this year? Monday Edition!
Do you expect any bad "surprises" before the launch of any console?
Has the embargo ended for the PS4? Have they released all the reviews?
I'm surprised that the Xbox One is still not playable at Best Buy and/or Gamestop. The PS4 was playable 2 weeks before release at both locations. Maybe Microsoft will give the go ahead this weekend.

I played it at one of the Xbox One Tour stops. Controller felt similar, & quite nice. killer Instinct was fast, fun and looked pretty damn good. Forza was quite nice looking and the rumbling triggers were a very cool feature. Good stuff.

Finally made a decision to only get XB1 at launch. I fully expect to have a PS4 within a couple of years when it has at least one exclusive game that interests me.

I own just about every console since the release of the NES, but for whatever reason I have absolutely zero interest in the new systems. I would be interested in the Wii U at $200 and the other two at $300 or less, so I doubt I will be buying until that price point is reached and there are a lot more games available.

This is pretty awesome. South Park on Xbox One vs PS4.

Holy shit, that's a throwback. I can't even remember what the inside of one of those looked like, only that I got my first DVD player and surround sound system when the local one went out of business in 2000.

I hated that store growing up whenever my parents would go there.. You really couldn't ever buy anything off of a shelf. You had to order it through the in-store computer system and then go to the back of the store to pay and pick up the item from the conveyor belt the warehouse employee put your item on.

If I had walked into B&H Photo when I was a kid, I'm pretty sure my head would have exploded.

Holy crap, I had forgotten all about that. Now I remember being devastated as a kid when a new game I wanted had no more slips and all you saw was that "Sorry, we're out" note in the empty pocket

Yeah the conveyor belt was awesome as a kid. On the flipside, Toys R Us having the pharmacy like setup where you bring your ticket to the window was terrible.

Looks like NfS: Rivals is running 1080p/30fps on both consoles and looking just fine on both.
Good stuff and probably shows that developers like Capcom just failed to worry about steady fps when it came to DR3. Sad Capcom, sad!

I disagree, there's a big difference in graphical demands between a racing game and a game where you kill a million zombies.
That said, I do agree that DR3's issue is poor programming and not the Xbox One in and of itself. The game is still in beta.

The NfS guys took time to make sure the FPS was rock solid, if you read the article. Capcom was more worried about the amount of Zombies on the screen then they were making sure their game didn't dip into the 'teens of FPS, so it seems.
To be fair, I'm buying DR3 because I love the series. Just a tad disheartening that they couldn't lock in a steady fps even though the machine is obviously able to handle it.

On the bright side, in this day and age of patches, anything is possible. There's even rumors of an FPS patch for Ghosts on the PS4, so I don't see why one for DR3 isn't possible in the future.

doubtful for Ghosts. that would take resources away from some Zombie-mode or Marvel-themed loadout DLC that generate revenue.
