After going through this thread and knowing how much you all spend on arcade machine, buy a high end PC and shut up!

Seriously though, out of the 2 I would pick the PS4, MS dropped the ball hardware wise and thinking that I want a console I shout at to watch TV, pull up social networking etc and the fact that half the feature only work for the US audience atm.

Only 2 more weeks for ps4. Right now I'm kind of meh for it but still can't get myself to cancel my preorder. It's always the same for me when a new generation comes out. Have to have one asap.

Too bad about the delay on Watchdogs. The only ps4 game I've preordered.

I've pre-ordered an XO. Get it Friday with Forza.

What interests me, despite the fact the GPU in the PS4 is by all accounts superior. Is the fact that the XO SoC is supposed to be quite heavily customised.

It has 15 extra cores dedicated to other tasks, like audio for example. The actual CPU is supposed to also be customised, and the GPU is supposed to be heavily customised again - with hardware support for tile mapping or whatever it's called and custom hardware support built in for DX11.2 features.

How much horsesh*t that is I am not sure because I haven't seen Microsoft really push that story.

I'm just going with the horse I've chosen a decade ago. Mostly due to the selection of jrpg:s ps1 through 3 has had. But I am curious to what the games will look like when I finally get to playing one. I'm probably going to pick up Killzone on lauch day just to see how the graphics have advanced.
Most I'm looking forward to are the new ip:s and Metal Grear Solid.

Yep, I'd definitely say that's disappointing. Console itself is looking fantastic mind. Aboslutely no doubt at all that it'll be vapourware most places until well after the new year but I'm fine with that. No reason to upgrade yet with so many PS3 games still to work through. Probably look at getting one whenever they become readily available all the time.

It seems the same UI as on the Xbox 360 dude - which is brilliant!

and Windows 8 UI on your TV is also good.. Just not great when you just want a start button on your pc/laptop.

I've never understood the furore over the start button. I got over that within minutes. If i want something, I hit the Windows key, start typing the name of what I want and hit enter when I've typed enough of it to single it out. Exactly the same as I've been doing on Macs since they brought out "Launch Control" (but it's <CTRL><SPACE> not the windows key on there).

But then being a techie I have no love affair with a mouse to get over

No, the first UI was brilliant, the 2nd a scrolling mess, the 3rd a bigger scrolling and advert riddled mess.

Start button is easily re-added with the likes of Start8.
