Or any console really.

Seems for the first year it's really expensive and games are few and far between. Went to BT games Cresta yesterday and actually saw nothing?

I wiki the list for game titles and seem many are going to come end 2014?
 
I agree with you. Out of the box the PS4 cant even play .avi from an external. I was hoping that with the kinda money they asking for the PS4, it should be able to play at least .mkv. I will stick with my ps3 which at the moment is capable of streaming from PC plus has some great titles left on it.

So even with a price drop, feature wise i am in no rush to purchase a PS4

Netflix works though.
 
The vast majority of the games are only coming out in 2015
 
So early? It's been 7 months.

And unless you plan to actually play every single game available (do you have that much time?) I don't see the problem with the games list.

I have a PS3, Xbox 360 an a PS4 since launch and I haven't managed to play the PS4 games to completion never mind the PS3+360 games.

Games won't get cheaper. And the console won't change much in price, probably just what's included.

And while you wait you miss out on what is available and therefore you have NOTHING.
 
I think 7 months in a console designed to last a decade is still fairly early - and I have no doubt it is worth it, but now ... ?

Aside from the fact that ti can't do AVI and MP3 yet, I went through the list here : http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_PlayStation_4_games and filtered by dates. There must be 50 TBA titles and a ton of 2014 and 2015 titles - just wondering if R8k for a device where I wait 18+ months for games is worth it now - or rather 18 months?

The titles available now - save for two or three - aren't really big names either. I could play them, but not super keen
 
I'm enjoying it.

Have Killzone, Tomb Raider, inFamous Second Son and Watch Dogs. All great games. Killzone is currently killing most of my time online, and they're releasing the co-op expansion tomorrow.

There's also BF4, Fifa and CoD that has a good online player base, but they're not really my types of games. Not to mention the free PSN+ game every month which are pretty decent themselves.

Also, Destiny Beta is due in a few weeks, and there are quite a few big releases due around September/October. There's more than enough out at the moment to keep you going until then...
 
Thanks.

I hear you buy games online too?
How big are they and Priceline, how do they compare to shops?
Guessing you can't trade or sell this way though?

You get free games with PSN+ btw.
 
game is opening a new store in Westwood, Durban tomorrow. PS4 retailing at 5999
 
You want to buy a ps4, dont complain about price of games, price of PS+,and dont complain about how the games are taking so long to come out because there is no way you would have played all the existing games anyway, well unless you dont work at all.

I honestly cant remember how many times i've seen a thread with a title like this one both on MYBB aswell as on Sagamer.Seems mostly started by ppl that dont have the console...Im so gatvol of these types of threads.

/rant
 
Who mentioned price of games?
Who mentioned price of PS+?
Do you use drugs? :/

I'm start to worry when people can't really read and even worse, when they comment on what wasn't there in the first place :/ And why do people assume that everyone will play and enjoy every game released? Some people don't like Flower, Basement Crawl, Just Dance and a few others. Yes - they're out and we could play them, but I'm not super keen. Time to think quality vs quantity

DSTV has way, way, way more than I could possibly watch - but the content for myself and many others is ****ty enough not to warrant buying it.
