This is a great system, and the Unchartered game is a great game to get with it. Fun game for all ages. System has good graphics and relatively easy to start up.

Not much to say about PS4 that most don't know. Great system with a good price. Features are about the same as the old one with some changes and better graphics.

Very happy with the PS4 however not happy with Nathan Drake bundle game....if I would have known how bad that game is I would have either bought the console solo or with another game...misleading also that you have all of the games on the bundle you do not you have the right to buy the last game when released...

Was an Xbox guy, but then I discovered the PS4

Long time Xbox fan, I had the original, the 360, the 360S, and the ONE I have been with Xbox for as long as I can remember, and it was from my perspective a flawless system that simply couldn’t be beat.... Why? Because it’s made by Microsoft that’s why! Well in comes the PS4 and you can throw every nice thing I ever had to see about the Xbox and just throw that out the window because the PS4 is where the future of gaming is, the controller alone is the first thing that I fell in love with the Dualshock 4 controller it’s better than the Xbox 360 or the one controller (mostly because there virtually the same yet Microsoft claims hundreds of improvements on the controller alone.....THAT NO ONE CAN SEE) in every way, shape, and form imaginable to a gaming console controller. The shape of the controller is longer not taller like the Xbox so it fits better in your hand, it also houses a LED light bar that it not only cool but informative providing discrete, yet relevant information such as health status, shields, armor status, ability engaged or not, so on and so forth, and it also houses a speaker inside the controller alone! How cool is that! It provides a sort of 3 dimension to an otherwise 2 dimensional experience, it provides additional dialogue, sound effects, or even radio chatter depending on your game, so there that’s the controller in a nutshell and with the Xbox you get.... a cut and dry controller nothing else. Lastly so I can wrap up my novel of a review, is the console itself while I’ll admit it might not be as easy on the eyes as the Xbox one can be, if you purchase a special edition or really anything besides the stock PS4 you automatically become more attractive than the Xbox one but without it in afraid I’ll have to give the exterior styling to Microsoft. The system UI is 10000000 times better than that of the Xbox, just plain and simple easier to navigate and cooler to with custom themes that are either animated, sound enhanced, or both I you can constantly change up the entire UI with a simple click Xbox you stuck with a bunch of boring static stock pictures, or an expensive (as far as themes go) add on to spice things up a bit. Overall in now a PS4 guy and with luck this review has at least opened your eyes to explore your options when picking out a console!

Got it on Black Friday and loving playing on it since. The gaming experience on PS4, to me, is much better than playing on Xbox One. Love the new controller too. Looking forward to play lot more games in coming

This was my first time owning a PS4 and it was a decision between his bundle or battlefront. But after hearing reviews of how Star Wars battle front suck I went with his bundle. I am very happy that I did because the game is awesome. You get three different games and these are not downloads. You get a physical disk that contain all three games that you put in the system. The ps4 itself is awesome because you get to log on the Internet and also watch Netflix or Hulu and even YouTube. Buy it you won't regret it.

Bought this afternoon Christmas at a great price. I was debating between this and the Xbox one. In the end I am glad I chose the Playstation. The Nathan Drake games are fantastic and the ps4 has more of the types of games that I will likely play.
The media capabilities of the box are pleasantly surprising. All the major streaming apps are available and work awesomely on this high end hardware. It's hard to justify an apple tv over the ps4 when you compare the capabilities and the difference in price.

I got this on rush after the thanksgiving holiday and it's pretty rad. I was surprised that there were speakers in the controller, so that is awesome, and the game wasn't actually as bad as some out there say that it is. Highly entertaining and true to Drake form.

Glad I picked up this PS4 and waited. At first I thought I wouldn't like the matte finish covering the hard drive of the PS4, but it's still amazing. One, is because it includes the Uncharted game and, two; it's a PS4. If you like the newer version of the PS4, which is lighter, more energy efficient, and like the matte finish instead of the glossy finish, this is a must. Especially if you are an Uncharted fan. I would recommend upgrading the HDD to a 1TB or 2TB HDD if you want more storage though.

This battle of Xbox-PS, Apple-PC, etc is all personal choice. I've used PS since the beginnings and personally its my preference so this is a simple review to confirm that PS continues to improve and maintain its existence. Have been on PS3 as I am older and don't play as much anymore. In fact PS3 was primarily a netflix set top for us. The recent price drop of PS4 convinced me it was time to upgrade. At three hundred with a game it was a no brainer. I paid twice that when the PS3 came out.

I researched the PS4 and XBox and also investigated building a gaming PC. All things considered, the PS4 offered the best value. The deciding factor, though, was a game called The Last Of Us. I realized that the only way I would ever be able to play that game -- considered a classic -- would be on a Playstation.
I also was able to try out the Playstation a little in the store, and the graphics and controller responsiveness were stellar. MUCH better than the PC I've been using for games!

I picked up a PS4 mostly for the exclusive games and to play a few of the Playstation classics. Unfortunately a lot of those classics are not yet available on the PS4, but more should be coming in the future. I also have an Xbox One, and while I ultimately find myself using it more than the PS4 (more media options, like TV integration), I don't have any regrets about the purchase. If you're looking for console that's solid on performance and gaming, don't hesitate on picking up a PS4.

if you like the ps3 you will like the ps4. The controller is consistent with past controllers and the graphics tops. I only gave this 4 out of 5 because it is not compatible with ps3 games and the Playstation Home (A quaint online virtual world) is missing.
