Six30 Posted March 22, 2016 Share Posted March 22, 2016 Just finished my man cave , big TV on the wall for the footy etc, thinking about some gaming , which is best X Box or PlayStation , had X box a fair few years back , kept getting the red ring of death on it , launched the thing in the end, has this problem been put right with the latest X boxes , is the games quality about the same on both? Mrs said I should really grow up ... But men never do ..do they Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gin Posted March 22, 2016 Share Posted March 22, 2016 Pfft PC Master Race! Ok sorry, out of those two Xbox all the way Just my preference! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JoshTimmins Posted March 22, 2016 Share Posted March 22, 2016 I prefer PC.. and then PS4.. and then XBoxIt is down to preference however a lot of people choose their console dependent on the exclusive games to that console. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Glorian Posted March 22, 2016 Share Posted March 22, 2016 Agree with above.PC then PS4 then XboxI dont have an xbox hence why it's last There are tonnes of reviews online for and against. PS+ you get a bunch of free games every month and they're often quite good. I've only bought about 5 games since i owned the console because i play the "free" ones Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Have also heard rumours that Xbox will support steam at some point in the near future, allowing cross platform gaming.. they have announced cross platform gaming on other 'gaming platforms and consoles', leading rumours say playstation as well as PC. The Rocket League game has already said they have and know the technology to bridge the 2 consoles Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CGD217 Posted March 22, 2016 Share Posted March 22, 2016 I've had Xbox's for years now. Currently have the Xbox one but i feel the PS4 is the better console. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Six30 Posted March 22, 2016 Author Share Posted March 22, 2016 Hmm... What about the red ring thing on Xbox ? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gin Posted March 22, 2016 Share Posted March 22, 2016 I had an Xbox 360 for over 5 years and never had the Red ring of Death! *shrugs* Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stu Posted March 22, 2016 Share Posted March 22, 2016 I've had the red ring before! Spicy foods tend to be worse for it!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JoshTimmins Posted March 22, 2016 Share Posted March 22, 2016 Hmm... What about the red ring thing on Xbox ? Don't quote me but I believe they beefed up the cooling on the Xbox one, over heating was the main cause of the 'red ring of death' Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Six30 Posted March 22, 2016 Author Share Posted March 22, 2016 I've had the red ring before! Spicy foods tend to be worse for it!! You sure it was food related Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stu Posted March 22, 2016 Share Posted March 22, 2016 You sure it was food related I assume so! but spicy food is usually consumed after large amounts of alcohol so its just a guess really Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Arwen Posted March 22, 2016 Share Posted March 22, 2016 Personally I like a good gaming pc and/or a playstation. I've not upgraded to the PS4 yet, as my ps3 is still working and I'm using my pc for gaming more these days. Reason for not choosing and XBox? I've never liked their controllers and the PS3 came with BluRay player I'm on my 2nd PS3. Had the original 60gb version, which I melted the solder on the motherboard accidentally due to being pretty much stuck in the house due to snow for 6 weeks. At the time I used it for everything - watching TV/catch up, movies and gaming so it was on for probably around 8-14hrs a day! Skyrim was the main culprit though Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
techno Posted March 22, 2016 Share Posted March 22, 2016 Ps4 all the way and I know a lot of xbox360 owners that swapped when current gen came out.I guess it may also boil down to which system people you may game with own. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fozzie Posted March 23, 2016 Share Posted March 23, 2016 I've never had a PC so can't comment there. Never had the dosh for a proper rig.I had a PS2, switched to Xbox due to a single star wars game, then the 360 was better value. The first gen 360 red ringed inside a year, the premium one lasted 6 years but was loud as hell. I had the last, quiet slim line version, which in my view was just what the xbox should have always been. I had access to a PS3 for a while but the magic had been lost since I had the PS2.The Xbone has been great, its constant need to update winds me up though. I only play a few times a week and it feels like I spend half an hour a week just waiting for a game to update. So of the consoles I'd say Xbone, particularly as soon we will be able to play against PC and PS4 players online. My brother has a PS4 and while it is very slick it just isn't for me.

Guest Posted March 23, 2016 Share Posted March 23, 2016 As already posted: PC Master RaceBut if you don't want that then PS4. PC is a lot better in every way though if you build it right, it'll do everything your PS4/XBOX does and then some. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Joe85 Posted March 23, 2016 Share Posted March 23, 2016 In terms of hardware, they're pretty much indistinguishable, both lightyears behind real "next gen" Your best bet is look a year or so down the line and decide what exclusives look more exciting to you.For example, Hideo Kojima, the creator of the Metal Gear series, is now exclusive to PlayStation.
