Just ordered an Xbox One with Destiny for a tasty £256 from Shopto on eBay using a 20% off code so now have the chance to play on both consoles.

I have got the Limited Edition on order for PS4 so would save myself £65 by cancelling it and using the bundled copy but wouldn't get to play any DLC until next year.

Other than the DLC is there a compelling case for PS4 over XB1.

Promised myself I wouldn't buy an Xbox but at that price it was to much for my willpower! :D

Isn't there some exclusive content for PS4? I don't know if it is timed exclusive, I just saw the video about it in the Destiny thread, will post link when I find it.

Edit: here the post in the Destiny thread http://forums.overclockers.co.uk/showthread.php?p=26811563&highlight=amazon#post26811563

Compelling case for PS4? If you play online with forum members then look no futher than this thread: http://forums.overclockers.co.uk/showthread.php?t=18620079 I think it really shows how much more popular the PS4 is than the XB1.

£256 -how please? :D
 
White PS4 > 20%....

I'm just waiting for the console to be sold stand alone... plus its car insurance this month else I'd be picking one up.
 
20% code was a random one from Ebay for Electricals if you paid by Paypal so I guess I was just lucky.
I had convinced myself not to buy one but then saw that Shopto had lowered the price to £319.99 and as I was working a days overtime I thought why not, but will have to hide it when the girlfriend comes round.
Think I will trade in Destiny towards Forza Horizon 2 then as I played the Alpha and Beta on PS4 so get my special badge, lol.
 
Just get the ps4 version since that's what most other people will be playing on and thats what all the xbox owners will eventually be playing on when the finally come out of their denial and realize the ps4 is better anyway. ;)
 
The compelling case is which one has the exclusives you will play.

Destiny will run at 1080p on both consoles so you are getting the same experience on either platform.

Personally I went for the Xbox One + Destiny + Master Chief bundle from GAME (which I got today). In my opinion the PS4 is a better system overall however the Xbox One has the best exclusives for me. Halo is possibly my all time favourite franchise on consoles and because of that I went for the Xbox One. Another slightly smaller factor being I prefer the Xbox One controller over the PS4 controller.

Better hardware does not always mean better games. Look at Dreamcast and Playstation...

I think both have some great exclusives coming out.

Both of them running at 1080P doesn't equate to the same experience
 
You definately made the right decision with the xboxone having the superior online service, would hate to be all pumped up to play but the network goes down, wouldn't bother buying it on PS4.

Well it will have to be the PS4 version now as I cancelled the pre order on the XB1 console as I had an offer accepted on a house this week and can't really justify buying it now with all extra expense I have have buying a house, sob sob! :(

Don't worry Legionaire, I'm going in blind aswell. Friends have PS4s even though I'm wary as I loved the 360 but hated the PS3.

Will let you know how it goes XD
