@MN5 yeah we got the 1TB version, with 2 games and a single controller for $479 I think it was.
TR Jnr just last week was asking fora PS3 game, although I think he is asking as he is fishing cos he knows...he did ask about a PS4 a few weeks back and I told him all the shops were sold out because of Christmas
So I'll have to get him to bed early on Saturday, set it up, do whatever fucking updates it needs (hope they are quicker than the PS3) get Mrs TR to wrap the box to give him that...that way I can say we have one on pre-order

I am firmly in the Xbox camp now and going to pick up the Xbox next year. Huge step up PS4 apparently
-
having not owned one, but played them, I reckon one very obvious thing Xbox has over PS (any model) is the better range of kids games, especially with the interactive ones (for whatever that bar is called)
-
that, and Halo is fucking awesome.

My 17 year old stepson used to be an Xbox fan but since he got his PS4 that's all changed. I enjoy playing fallout ? ( think it's called that ) with him.
My boys are gonna have fucken kittens when they realise they are gonna get TWO star wars games as well. Just to fuck with them I'm gonna get something crap from the $2 shop and say that that is their present only to get the real one a few minutes later. Should be good humour.

I can't bring myself to be that much of a prick, funny as it would be!

I have a XBox One I never use. Seemed like such a good idea at the time...

I got my boy a Porsche, the lucky little shit. When I was a kid I had a pretend Porsche that was also called a "Wheelbarrow".

I got it and two controllers and two games for $549. Pretty happy with that. I also picked up star wars battlefront for a ridiculous $30. Suffice to say i'm hoping for a few rainy days this summer.
Star Wars is fun, I don't know why it dropped in price so quickly, I guess the hard core FPS gamers and Star Wars geeks don't intersect that much.

Yep that sounds about right. Same time I had a PS2, the bro-in-law had an Xbox. All the games on it felt a bit toony, and the driving games were no comparison.
MS identified the younger market as a target, and not wanting to have too much gore. The boy's mate has the next-last Xbox and it seems OK, and while Halo looks fucking awesome, the PS stuff still appeals to me more.
Once the PS4 gets rolling here, I'll be thinking about VR. That would be really interesting to experiment with.

Sad for anyone to get fired at this time of year but check out the loathing for them in the comments. I'd say most of it would be directed at only one of the duo though.
And on a much more positive note, great news that @Gibbit has a full time gig again leading the Radio Sport morning show
