The closer we get the more I'm wondering why I'm buying a next gen console at all.

The only game I really want is dead rising 3.
And is it worth £430 to do that day one? I want ghosts on it too but I'm not blown away by it on 360.

That ad annoys me actually, so someone can jsut f with what you are doing?
I though the point was that the Kinect recognised who was holding the controller and would issue the commands only.
Just because it's banned, doesn't mean it can't still communicate to the MS servers. How do you think they would unban it? TBH if the platform is still being finalised, it's hardly surprising they don't want rogue consoles going on it.
There is no "train wreck".
Train wreck.....what a ridiculous statement
No I play nothing sub 1080p in the last few years and have become accustomed to it.
I played GTA5 recently and I was getting bad migraines, and burst blood vessels. I stopped to preserve my health.
You guys can laugh all you want but the eyes are very sensitive and are a gateway to many other problems.
Just take 3d for example, it disorients most people when used first, most get used to it after a while. Though some never to and it can leave users feeling sick, itchy eyes, migraines etc. This is well documented.
After viewing crisp 1080p for years and years my eyes have been accustomed to that 1080p crispness. 720p fuzziness makes my eyes attempt to refocus and ajust but fails to do so as the source is blurred not my eyes focus. It's a continuos cycle of my eyes focussing, zoning out and refocusing etc which leads to repetitive eye strain injury, feeling sick, migraines and burst blood vessels from the eyes working to hard.
If I continue to use 720p for weeks on end my brain and eyes would get used to the fuzzier/blurred picture and of course this would stop. But I play 90% of my games at 1080p so don't want to have to switch back and forth. Hence why points about last gen are null since I was used to the lower res.
Same for me. I have both ordered but apart from Forza and Killzone there is nothing else. All the multi ones I will get on Pc.
I cancelled both my preorders as I felt the same way. Now the missus has given the nod to buy one (after I spent the money on a 55" TV instead!).
She made a good point - "you'll end up buying them both anyway so why not get at least one now so you have it when the better games come out?". Hard to argue with her logic!

They won't be rare but I won't have to find the $650/750 (PS4/XB1 cost in NZ) from somewhere.
LOL, it would be more logical to actually wait until the better games come out. The consoles are not going to become rare and unobtainable after launch day.![]()
