Seems like quite a lot of those games are going to be out for pc too. At least the action type games.


It's tough choosing between pc and console now.

with consoles makers understanding they need to be easy to program and the new consoles following this idea.. porting to PC is going to be very easy. Add the fact that STEAM has increased PC game sales (and reduced piracy to some extent) Porting to PC is far more appealing. And game devs are out to make money, exclusives cost Consoles HUGE amounts of cash if they are not in house studios. The first (360/ps3) GTA was going to be an exclusive, but MS paid huge cash to Rockstar so it wasn't.. the rumors where that is was more then game made fro MS (and it was a big seller). true or not... only company owned studios willl be doing exclusives anymore i think we will find. And multi platform games wont just be on consoles anymore as moving them to the PC world will be much easier then the past generations..

make no mistake consoles sell way more units then the PC.. but porting to the PC used to cost considerable money, it wont now, so even if the PC sells 1/10th the units.. its still worth doing this generation.

I loved dreamcast...memories of Shenmue. Oh man that system had some fun games. It's ashame that it didn't do well.

When I pulled out the old box, I was surprised how many games I had for it. It seemed like it left the stores so quickly... I have over 10 games for it. It was the first system I had to spend my own money on, and it was worth it.

Will gta 5 be out for ps4 or pc only. I definitely prefer playing a game like that on console.

gta5 is ps3/360 only as of right now i believe. possibly pc. it hasn't been announced for ps4 or x1.

Ugh that's beat I hope it comes to pc so the last of us and gta 5 are last two games I'll buy for ps3. Looks like I'll keep the ps3 but I doubt I'll play it after ps4.

Are you guys keeping your ps3 systems ? I was thinking of selling mine but don't want to put up with craigslist.

Of course I would not sell it until maybe a week before launch as I use it to stream stuff from my pc.

I fully intend to sell both my PS3 (original fat 60GB version) and my 360 (Halo Reach version), along with all the games. I have no want to keep them. I haven't yet partly because I'm lazy and partly because I know I'll have to settle on a price and won't get what I feel is fair.

I keep my systems. My PS3 will still get plenty of use as I have some games I haven't gotten to yet and can be used as a blu ray and media center in another room.

Always plenty of copies of games around. No need to pre-order. Hell if it comes down to it, you can probably get the DD copy on either console. Mostly I'm waiting to see what the ebay/cragslist hysteria is like this year. I don't really care if I wait a month or two if I can get someone to pay double.

Honestly I was thinking about this on the ride home. Pick up my ps4 don't open it and check what eBay or craigslist is doing. Pretty sure they will sell out some places and you can have someone pay maybe 5-600 after bids. Then again I heard eBay and PayPal fees will rape you on those higher prices.

Mine will be payed off by then but best buy just hasn't posted it to my card yet so I can't even send my payment in.

I'm also interested in seeing what I can get for my slim ps3 and maybe my games. Since gta 5 will be out and I want to play the last of us I should keep it and have it connected to my monitor in the bedroom.

I wouldn't bother with ebay. Too easy to scam. Too many fees. And if someone F's with your listing (NPB, etc) you miss the critical window for selling at max price.

On the other hand where I live craigslist is just as bad. So many emails that are fakes and spam, scammers. I just checked and the highest you can sell a ps3 on there is around 100-120 in working condition. Better to keep it I think.

But with craigslist once ps4 is out I'm definitely going to post an add to see what I get.

Yah, alot of spam on CL, but at least you can only get so screwed meeting in a public place and dealing in cash.

I'm not big on pre-ordering games and it's got such little upside I see no point; wait for reviews and then buy, regardless of pre-game hype. Selling out will increasingly be irrelevant, as digital is available.

CL generally has the worst human scum on the planet. For every flawless sale involving a reasonable and decent person you have to deal with magnitudes of buffoons.

PS4 - Watch Dogs pre-ordered. Will get Drive Club if I want more than what PSN+ offers.

Also pre-ordered FFXV and KH3, but I don't see those coming out at launch.

No next gen pre orders for me. I'm just not an early adopter, and I don't want to deal with any potential issues with the launch PS4's.

I'll probably pick up mine in the spring, around March-April, hopefully after any kinks are worked out, if there are any.

This will be my first time getting a console on launch day. I'll make sure to get either Sony or best buy warranty.

I dont know how people sell stuff on CL. I was going to put my bike on there when I wanted to sell it but I've done that for a friend and all I got was bunch of people trying to scam me.

I wish they would make a Shenmue 3. Suprised after it was on the original Xbox they never continued it.

So, I checked out Knack after seeing so many people mention it as the previous reveal just looked like a sort of tech demo. The videos that I watched actually look pretty cool, but there's one big worry that I have...

How long is the game? This doesn't seem like a game that has much replayability or overall length, and I doubt that there's a multiplayer. This is a full-fledged, $60 game, but I get the feeling that I'll probably beat it within 8 hours and feel a bit ripped off.

I ordered from Amazon and will get the launch version but I'm not gonna decide on what games I'm gonna get until closer to release date. I still have a stack of PS3 games so that will keep me busy well after I get the PS4.

I got more than enough to keep me busy with the ps3. Especially if I get gta 5 and that apocalyptic game. I know a lot of my friends that got Diablo 3 on pc raved about it but after a few weeks they didn't play anymore. I wonder how it will stand on ps4.
