Lol all his friends is 2 lil kids. I look to get the most value out of anything I buy, at the moment the one seems the least valuable of next gen systems. I'm really liking the exclusives coming to ps4. I'm disappointed in and tired of Microsoft nickel and diming it's loyal consumers.

I gave him one more option yesterday, we can build our own gaming pc which he was thrilled with the idea of.
I honestly don't see how Microsoft is nickel and diming customers right now. I have both consoles. The monthly subscriptions both give u free games each month. They both almost cost the same. U have to pay to play online with both. Neither are perfect. Xbox also has EA Access which is dope and a great value. OP complaining about 1080i shows lack of knowledge of the outputs and what they do more than an issue with Xbox. Games on both systems cost the same. I get discounts for having Gold same as PS Plus. Both UI's have advantages and disadvantages. PS4 is more graphically powerful but as far as nickel and diming on XOne. I don't see it.

If you really like halo like that you should have just waited till they upgraded the UI.
Either way, your money.

Off top, Microsoft discontinued Xbox live gold family a few years ago which brong tremendous value to our home being that we had multiple 360s.

Microsoft is blocking features and access in certain 1st party games out of greed.

We system link in our house a lot for years but now Microsoft is cutting system link forcing people to have told accounts to play with each other. No split screen In halo, absolute bullshyt.

Lil busy at the moment to list the rest of my gripes.

Son some of that shyt ain't on PS4 either. No split screen in Halo is a developers choice. Same as making Need For Speed Hot Pursuit only single player. Both companies took away shyt they had last gen. Sony wasn't charging for online gaming last gen. Now they are. That's a huge thing. Like I said. Both services are bout equal.

I can't tell the last time I've spent money on a EA product. If you like spending more money for less, that's cool but nothing you can say will away me. Sony has the better product out point blank period. The pc and steam machines are great alternatives and if your money is right, superior.

My nikka I'm not tryna sway u from anything. I have a PS4 and I've had it since launch. I'm just pointing things out. Both these companies got they bullshyt wit them. I also have a gaming rig that's more powerful than both these consoles by far and anyone on here who knows me knows that.

My 360 is collecting Dust as I speak. I love it to Death but with PS4 occupying me I just don't know what to do with it, also don't want to get rid of it. The thought of pulling the plug makes me :mjcry: ...however, I've barely been on it since July.:mjlol:

i have to say im very disappointed in microsoft. i love my 360.

i grabbed the master chief collection bundle yesterday.

my first beef with this is the GUI is so sluggish compared to the 360. then on top of that i start install the halo bundle, come to find out its like 80 GB download. i thought this would come preloaded or something.
this shyt took all damn night.

i then downloaded the media player to test my files on my external HD. these fools actually removed the resume feature, so that if you turn something off, you have to start the file over when you watch it again. also it doesnt display whats going on on screen when you fast forward or rewind.

and then it doesnt output to 1080i. why wouldnt you at least give people the option and them decice what display they prefer ?

i was willing to look passed the fact that it is not as powerful as the ps4, but damn, if you cant match it graphically at least have all the other stuff right. i realize some of the problems may be addressed when it gets the windows 10 upgrade, but i just did not want to wait that long. fallout will be here in 3 weeks, i need to get myself acclimated to a system NOW.

i returned the xbox and exchanged it for the uncharted PS4 bundle, and i am very happy with my purchase thus far. the setup was smooth, and the uncharted bundle installed in about 1/10 of the time. i got the media player and it even has a favorites and recently watched feature on it.

damn im disappointed, but im glad i got to compare them so now i KNOW i made the right decision.
No halo 5. For. U.
