    Forza 5 really looks good, almost makes me wanna get an X box One.
    200 cars and less tracks than FM4 makes me want to cancel my pre-order. DLC plans get a little more obvious ;)

    On another note, 50 dollars for console Angry Birds Star Wars??

    Damn ... I just got 3 PS4 games in the mail today and then this deal comes out. oh well, gives me an excuse to load up on three more.

    So far I got Battlefield 4, Killzone, and AC4. Looks like I will be getting NFS Rivals and NBA2k ... need to figure out the third game ... I'm thinking Madden but not sure I have faith that EA is going to have a solid push out of the gate. The first Madden game for the Xbox was a joke. Might give Knack a try

    The new Forza does look good!!!! Not a racing fan...though I did play some GT back in the day. Should be an immediate pickup for Xbone fans.

    I'll be picking up the new XCom on Friday. I really enjoyed the first one and this expansion/reimagining looks even better and it seems it will add more variety to gameplay.

    Forza has been a safe bet since F2. GT and Forza are my system-sellers, usually. Both very good but they are fairly different from each other (especially in the physics department). Just seems like this one might be intentionally leaving stuff out to boost digital sales down the road.

    That, and since I don't know when I'll bother getting an XB1 there could be a platinum hits version when I do!

    Also - I haven't finished Forza 4 and GT6 is coming out in a month, woot!

    as much as I love the GT series, I'm not buying anymore PS3 games, so will be skipping GT6.

    DriveClub for PS4 looks good too, but sadly delayed.

    Because you're getting a PS4?
    I'm the opposite, I am going to make the current gen last a while I think.
    I haven't watched enough DC videos to understand what it is all about.

    once I get PS4, my PS3 will just be for blu rays. Hmmmm, I figured DriveClub is not really about anything, just racing!

    Santa Amazon has left his north pole transite warehouse with his eight trusty FedEx trucks and is on his way to my chimney with dreams of playstations! :P

    Looks like the exclusives aren't getting the best reviews ... Knack especially. Oh well. I figured most my time would focus on AC4 and Battlefield.

    PS4 first impressions ... Pretty easy to set up ... The new controller is MUCH better then the PS3, gives the 360 controller an honest run for the money ... Played three games for a limited time ... NBA2K is amazing and I see this being my go to sports game for the next year until NHL15 is unveiled ... Killzone had such a slow start I stopped playing and switched to AC4 ... AC4 looked and played great

    The servers were a little slow so I think I will wait a week until I try out Battlefield

    It make little noise and is smaller the the 360 elite. It lets you play while it installs the game. NBA2k let me play a game between the heat and spurs ... Instead of play by play, it played music until the 4th quarter when that part was installed. That is a nice change from the ps3.

    There is no power brick. It appears to be a well engineered machine.

    As noted the setup was super easy. Especially compared to the WiiU where after 2 frustrating hours of getting it setup I was waiting for the doorbell to ring and when I answered the door Mario himself would kick me in the nuts.

    After all the hype over Xbox1 and PS4 exclusives, Nintendo quietly comes out of the bushes and smacks one out of the park with Super Mario 3D World for what appears to be the award winner for next-gen game of the year.

    nintendo clearly doesn't have as an extensive library that the xbox or playstation has to offer, but damn... their MUST have games are absolute grand slams. it's phenomenal really.

    Yup. They have an endless well of Marios and Zeldas that never goes dry or stale.

    I will be downloading this when I get home.

    The new Mario game is bad ass fun :D

    It plays great both solo and co-op. My friends that usually don't play games were jumping in and having a blast.

    I think the WiiU will slowly catch fire like the 3DS has once they get 5 gems like this out there. And they need to fix the menu system which has a more sinister difficulty level then any of their games.

    My PS4 arrives tomorrow. Was looking for it unsuccessfully over a week. Was up in the middle of the night Thursday and checked Amazon. They had an item for sale called "Not For Sale, Replacement Playstation 4". So I bought it for $399. Link was gone immediately after I purchased. Friday and Saturday pass with nothing. Figured I just needed to either cancel the order or let them keep my money.
    Sunday morning, I get a shipping notification and it gets here Tuesday.

    I bought NBA2K14 and Madden. Excited for NBA game. Im not an NBA fan which should make it fun.

    I got my PS4


    it is good.




    Anyone need (want) one? I may have an in for one from Sam's Club. They took an order from me to pick it up from the store on the 16th, cancelled it as they didnt have the stock. Now they sent me an exclusive link to order one (I presume it would ship next week?)

    MCA?

    Ok. I suggest you see if you can pull one tomorrow or Friday anyway. I think it is good through the weekend...

    On the way back from Wisconsin, I did a eight hour session on the Legend of Zelda: a link to the past 2 on the 3DS. It may be the first Zelda game I beat :)

    3 weeks now and EA has yet to fix Battlefield for the PS4. No wonder they are one of the most despised companies in the world.

    Got my PS4 a couple days ago. Thanks again MayDay10!!! :D
    I like it quite a bit.
    The new controller is nice. Feels a little strange still, but in a good way.
    The UI/XMB is super fast and easy to use. Popping in and out of games is quick.
    The system is also super quiet. Even with a disc running, you can barely hear the damn thing. My "slim" PS3 is waaaaaay louder.
    Been playing AC...fun game. I haven't played a AC game since, I think Brotherhood...so I'm still trying to re-learn the controls.

    Downloaded Resogun. Simple game, but challenging.
