I read some reviews yeaterday myself, PS4 has xboxone beat graphic wise. But only time will tell on that.

Both have a pay to play online, but PS4 can do multi media, such as netflix and hulu without having to pay. Where as xbox u have to pay to even use those.

Ps4, to my understanding has more free games and better selection when buying your online subscription

This was from two seperate reviews i read. Now too see if i can find them again..

I got started very late. I started with the XBOX 360, which was subsequently stolen in a burglary. Pissed me off to no end, I tell you. I was just getting set to fire up an actual video game too. Just goes to show you, DO NOT throw away the new system boxes without tearing them up and stashing them deep in the trash can so that the freakin' thieves don't know you just got a new system. :(

I don't need anger management, people need to stop pissing me off!

They're a joke. Get a PC and enjoy true 1080p at 60 FPS.

I was looking into the sega throwback system and I am confused.

They range from $30 to $90, 80 games or 90 games, and on gamestops webpage, they say it is going to be released 12/6 but everywhere else I see it, there are reviews good and bad.

wtf?

The 80 game throw back was 45 bucks. I suppose just depends on where you live.

NES->SNES->(strange step back)VecTrex->GameBoy->N64->PS2->PS3->NDS->NGC->Wii->PSX->Dreamcast

Giving up on Nintendo to move to the PS2 was a tough pill to swallow.

started playing games on apple2e when i was tiny little kid. mr robot (owned, had built in level maker that we loved), sticky bear basket bounce, moon patrol, donkey kong, arkanoid, pacman.

then played nes -> snes -> n64 -> gc -> wii. although i only played the NES and SNES much. the n64 gc and wii i basically played nothing but a few zelda and mario games, i haven't really played many video games in years except retro fluff like this and warcraft 2. i think i mostly outgrew them, only played the wii on vacation for instance.
