Sony - PlayStation 4 (500GB) - PRE-OWNED - Black

I have chosen the PS4 for my next gen console! and here's why! All I want is a videogame focused 100% in games for gamers... I don't mind using Netflix or Hulu plus, but I feel relieved that the PS4 will not be integrated to a cable box... At the end, the PS4 has a better hardware than the X1 and also is $100 cheap... So, I was able to use that money to pre order 2 additional games. All third party studio have said, that the PS4 has a better DEV Kit as well. So for the next games, the PS4 is going to look better than the X1. Also, one major crucial thing that made me to choose the PS4 instead of the X1, it was that I can upgrade the HDD, I have plans to get a 512gb SSD on Black Friday for my PS4. At the end, it is all about the exclusives games... and Sony didn't even announce their biggest games yet, such as Uncharted, God of War, Twisted Metal, Resistance, Gran Turismo, Last of Us, Little Big Planet, MLB, Ratchet and Clank, Warhawk, Beyond: Two Souls and etc.... I believe that the PS4 has a better package, better hardware and games...

Because I'll most likely be picking up both consoles, it really doesn't matter to me which console has what specific feature/capability. The fact is, Sony and Microsoft are different companies that want to both deliver great experiences on each of their consoles. Microsoft feels the world is ready for interactive television, on top of a gaming console. Sony feels the world still wants a console primarily focused on gaming with a few added apps which are able to stream media (Netflix/Hulu). Either way you go, you're going to get a good experience. However, before you make a decision on which console to get, do yourself a favor and conduct a little research to make sure you know exactly which experience you want to dive into. Both consoles will deliver in amazing gaming experiences and that's what should be the most important to any gamer, whether you're an Xbox follower or Playstation follower.

I will be honest by saying that I am glad that I didn't get a PS4 with day one issues. However, we all should expect that from a new console. There has never been a new console release without specific console issues. Plain and simple, they're expected. On the bright side, for those that had an issue, you'll get a new console, you're not being ignored. For those like me that have a perfectly fine functioning console, then you know the joy that I am experiencing. Sony has indeed delivered to those of us who like GAMES! This is the console that is focused on that very purpose. Even my 3 yr old daughter is obsessed with The Playroom (this works best with the playstation camera). That camera based game has proven to be a success based on the entertainment value that it holds, especially for children. All in all, I am overly pleased and I hope everyone else is too. It's a great value for a fantastic system!

PROs: For the Price, you can't beat the PS4. Came out as the same price as the PS3 launch, which wins customers. Sound is Superb!! Once you piece everything together, then you've got a winner on your hands. CONs: There are only 15 plus games to choose from. Unless you have endless financial resources, then you'll need to buy certain items at a time; ie Extra Controller, then the Headset, then the Camera. There really aren't any cons but if you must look for something, constantly sold out almost everywhere you look.

Sony's PS4 is truly amazing piece of equipment. Sleek, great menu design with subtle music, right out of the box it provides an experience any true gamer would appreciate. The console comes with an internal 500GB HDD; I purchased a Seagate 1TB Hybrid laptop HDD/SSD and found it really easy to upgrade the internal storage - it took me under 10 minutes. The new DualShock 4 controller is a vast improvement over the terribly flimsy PS3 DS3 controller sticks, and the speaker, touchplate and lightbar built into the controller add some great features to most games. I'm looking forward to a wider range of games becoming available later in 2014, especially Infamous and Destiny.

I have owned PS2, PS3 and now the PS4. The PS4 looks nice and it easy to setup. I have lots of friends who will buy an Xbox simply because they already are established on that ecosystem. The PS4 is really designed for gamers, they didn't waste time with all these home theater functions, that's what I have a smart remote for I can press a button to change my TV thank you very much. I have small kids and when they are asleep I don't want to be talking to my game console. I really don't share my gameplay, but I did try out the feature in Battlefield 4 and it was pretty painless to record 15 minutes of footage and upload to Facebook.

I pre-ordered this the day it was available right after E3. I'm long time fan of XBOX and after owning a Xbox 360 i'm jumped to Sony as they simply have the better product. I say this because M$ even with the Xbox 360 has been known to make bad choices and force things upon consumers. A good example is needing Gold subscription to watch Netflix. I'm happy to got my hands on PS4. Sony does care about customers at some point. *Sleek unit *blu-ray *Great graphics *Easy swapping HDD and setup w/o *issues* Note: You can playing multi-player online for free without required PS subscription. Depends on what's kind of games doesn't require subscription for MP as instance- BlackLight: RETRIBUTION - Play for FREE! . No B$!

I waited awhile for this system and I was thrilled when I got it. The design is sleek and chic. The remotes are extremely comfortable and the 3D camera with facial recognition is the best I;ve seen outside of a smartphone. My only complaint is that you can't play any PS3 games on the console. I know Sony is working on that but not all PS3 game titles will be available and it won't be free of charge.
