You guys made my day. Thanks.

:D

It's kinda silly to have either of those priced at the same number when it comes to € and ₤. I mean the difference is quite notable lol.

Well yeah, that's why, as the title says, their euro and pound prices are different. :P

euro and dollar is still a big difference, its like 30% more expensive here

It just bothers me a lot that people complain for the European market increased price, , you guys do know that everyone in south america who wants to buy a PS4 is going to have to pay about 700 US$ ? (approx 200 US$ more than in Europe, and 300 US$ more than in the US)
The same happened to PS3 and Xbox 360 when they launched, and that's why most of us couldn't afford it until the prices lowered to about 300 US$ in the US, and even then a PS3 cost about 650 US$ in Argentina for example... (3000 ARS)

Anyway, just gonna drop this right here

But it's still cheaper than most of the world excluding USA... that's my point.

so the PS4 is a PS2 but the controller finally changed

also isn't that what the PS3's original controller design kinda looked like

Final scores
Xbox - 1
Playstation - 4

I really like the games featured on PS4. Kingdom hearts and FF XV for example
CoD on xbox... no.

The only thing that seems worthwhile at all on the xbone is Crimson Dragon. Maybe I'll try it out if a friend gets the console.

Otherwise, wow, what a shit show.

Not really. US prices are always displayed excl. VAT, while European prices always include taxes. So, quick calculation, supposing that VAT in the US is ~19%:

499*1.19 = 594 USD = 447 €.

If we add fees due to European customs and local laws, the price gets close to 499 €.

it seems like xbox took 359 steps backwards..

So does that mean I'll still have to buy an Xbox One to play the upcoming Halo because that's just absurd. There is no way someone is paying me to play Halo 5 on an Xbox One. Vibration on the new controller maybe more responsive and more realistic (possibly more painful) but it's still not good enough to be paying 500$ for.

worst thing about both xbox one and ps4 is that the new games are going to be 100$ USD which is just ridiculous. Who would pay 100$ for a video game?

you would probably be surprised about how many people would pay that much just to play a video game

seems to me that the only think Xbox One has to offer is Halo 5, and as Hika said, not really worth getting for just the one game

As long as we consumers are able to tell Microsoft indirectly (by not buying the product) that it sucks, they're probably going to consider making it for Xbox 360 and continue doing it until they go monopoly on us. Woooo.
