On the eve of Xbox One launching and being in the middle of the PS4 launch window; I was just curious what you brothers were doing about next gen hardware.
I originally had the microsoft console preordered but I felt a little lack-lustre in both console so I cancelled. My plan now is to still get an Xbox one but maybe Feb or march time instead when any issues are worked out and there are more games that excite me.
What are you guys doing?

Im not jumping on it i like it but honest i have a phat custom built PC in a Corsair 800D case AMD FX processor 8 core 4GHz CPU - 16GB DDR3 RAM - 3x SLI NVIDIA GTX 650 Graphics Cards with 2 GB - GDDR5 RAM on each card all on a ASUS ROG Crosshair V Formula Motherboard it wipes the floor on graphics the Xbox one and PS4 have to offer.
I only play xbox360 for convince switch it on and play it my PC fast but by time its loaded steam and a game i could of complete a mission or two on Xbox also there will be NO GTA V on Xbox One till later on next year some time. then they will only port it so be the same as 360 may run better that be about it.
Spec's for both consoles
PS4
Price:$399.99 Cpu: Single-chip x86 AMD "Jaguar" processor, 8 cores Gpu: AMD Radeon Graphics Core Next engine w/ 1152 shaders Peak GPU Shader Throughput: 1.84 TeraFLOPS/s RAM: 8GB GDDR5 Storage: 500 GB Hard Drive Removable HDD: 160GB USB Storage: NO Backwards Compatibility: NONE
Xbox One
Price:$499.99 Cpu: 8 Core x86 Microsoft custom CPU 853 MHz Gpu: AMD Radeon GPU w/ 768 shaders Peak GPU Shader Throughput: 1.31 TeraFLOPS/s (estimate) RAM: 8GB DDR3 Storage: 500 GB Hard Drive Removable HDD: NONE
USB Storage: YES Backwards Compatibility: NONE
Im defending the PC corner this time if the console was $250 then id have one 2morrow and there not worth the money you or anyone can build a cheaper gaming PC then the price of the Xbox one or ps4.

You can buy a 360 controller that runs with windows for 40$ but I'm with you Gladiator, I have never really played anything on PC except poker..

Those Xbox One first-day glitches: GREEN screens of DEATH, disc crunchin
Xbox One
Global Design Services case study
As inevitably happens when a new piece of tech gear goes on sale, some machines suffer malfunctions – and Microsoft's Xbox One games console is no different.
Its support forums are littered with users reporting that their systems are failing to boot up past the initialization screen. Dubbed the "green screen of death", this console freeze-up apparently occurs when the machine is powered up for the first time, and rather than progress to a controller configuration screen, the system remains stuck on the green startup splash.
Some users claim in the Xbox support forums that restarting the system can help alleviate the issue, while others have found that simply waiting for a few minutes brings up the controller screen and the system continues as normal.
Others, however, have already returned their Xbox One units to Microsoft for service or to a retailer to exchange for a replacement unit.
The Redmond tech giant said in a statement:
If a user is experiencing a stall for more than 10 minutes when connecting to Xbox Live to take the day one update, they should contact Xbox customer support and we will work with them to troubleshoot and get them up and running.
The green screen is not the only issue that seems to be plaguing unlucky new Xbox One owners. Other gamers have reported errors with the system's optical-disc drive failing to read discs or making clicking and crunching sounds when a disc is inserted.
Other reported issues have been slow download times and problems with consoles which have been updated via USB drives.
The glitches raise memories of Microsoft's nightmare Xbox 360 launch in 2005, and the fallout from a set of hardware failures which came to be known as the "Red Ring of Death" and ended up costing Microsoft upwards of $1bn to fix.
Sony, meanwhile, continues to press forward with the launch of its PlayStation 4 console and the reported hardware misfires that surrounded its launch.
A number of PS4 players found themselves with very expensive paperweights after some systems were capable of nothing but flashing a blue light upon starting up. The cause for the issue, now dubbed the "blue light of death" by fanbois, has not been nailed down, but could be from any number of hard drive, firmware or display problems. Sony said just one per cent of sold PS4s were affected, and blamed damage during delivery.
PC gamers, meanwhile, are able to gloat, having found themselves above the fray. Though some may argue that neither the green screen or blue light issues are as frustrating as having to run Windows 8.
