Sony have said you don't need to touch the social networking stuff, so you can't really call it a con when it is optional.

the fact that its there annoys me. Suppose it'll be the same on the xbox like, log in to facebook, twitter etc etc.

No one on facebook or twitter gives a flying **** about what you have achieved or what you are currently doing on your games console.

The PS4 controller and interface look massively improved, so you can't really call them a con when you haven't tried them yet

sticks are still parallel

Right, I'm not sure how that makes it a con.

Also re. the interfaces, I know which one is plastered with adds and stuff I don't need. Sony shouldn't move away from the PS3 one though, its simple and does the job perfectly, the store is a mess mind you, just like the xbox one.

Microsoft said the same about Kinect (ie, you can turn it off), that doesn't stop everyone jumping on them for it

games are being listed online as 54.99 for both consoles, they can both take a hike if that's accurate.

They won't be. MS have already confirmed US pricing as $59.99, which is the same as it is now. I can't imagine they would hike the UK price but not the US.

Which, considering our bodies are parallel, is logical

that's good as £55 a game is just way to expensive

Fair point but it still looks like its going to be more comfortable than the DS3. People will make xbox style controllers that work on the PS4 anyway.

my left hand does not work as well as my right hand. xbox controller is the perfect layout I reckon. could never get used to Dual shock layout. Unless it was because it was made for small japanese children and not 30 year old English men with shovel hands.

Its going to be watching me fap!

If you can turn it off, then you should be able to remove it.

I will be buying a PS4 in 2014 most likely because there are too many good games being released on PS3 this year.

Now that DRM restrictions have been dropped I would consider Xbone if as someone else said they drop the Kinect requirement as well and make it cheaper, I have no interest in voice commands or playing games with my arms and all of that nonsense.

Maybe it's just because I have tiny hands but I've always found the PS3 controller more comfortable. I've never understood the fascination with off-kilter analogue sticks

I don't think you can turn it off but you can put it into low power mode iirc.

Not it doesn't....I do!

Still a PS4. Mainly for FFXIV, Planetside 2 and TES Online all on one console. However, I also fancy a change from Microsoft. I've not had a ps3 this gen and I am not fussed about exclusives. Plus, it's cheaper.

Yes, you can turn it off, this has been confirmed.

Voted Xbox One.
Really looking forward to some of the games, and I did like the idea of the shared games library, play without disk etc that unfortunately will disappear.

There were no PS4 exclusives that I liked the look of.
