I truly have no idea where I will land. I do have some blu rays I dont want to ditch. But also dont want a gaming platform with a bunch of other crap.</p>


 </p>


I guess time will tell.</p>


 </p>


I will say this...</p>


 </p>


I havent had to replace my PS3. The xbox, I am on my 3rd.</p>

I will probably end up with a PS4 but I will wait several months to a year before deciding. Let them iron out the hardware bugs that will likely plague the first year and wait for a 2nd or 3rd release of hardware. Also, by that time we'll have a good idea of which system is performing better.</p>

I got to be honest I dont get why it is an issue. The current Xbox does a lot of multimedia crap too. I sorta like it (as long as it works) having all my crap in one box. Also I think both the Xbox and PS4 have blu-ray</p>

 

[The Count Dante]

It wasnt a big deal to have both the xbox and ps3 and truly the xbox sees more attention for the most part.</p>


 </p>


But I dont want to buy both again. If I need to go back to my roots, I was a PS guy since the first PS...</p>

To me having everything is one box you are always compromising something for the convenience and it's usually not worth it. As I mentioned before. It's all inclusive but usually confining to what and how they want you to use it.</p>

I understand what you are saying. All those "fluff" features as I would consider them I can either use or not use. They are neat but not a deciding factor in my purchase. If the TV thing sucks **** it, I know how to switch inputs, my hopper has a guide. The whole fantasy thing I most likely wont use because it is integrated into ESPN and they dont do hockey games so no use to me. The snap thing or whatnot I wont use, if I am watching a movie I'm old school I'm watching a movie. Skype, I dont talk to anyone on skype.</p>


 </p>


All I "need" is something to play Netflix, HBOGO, and video games. </p>

 

[The Count Dante]

It will be fun to watch all the fights and hype because you know both will get released for Tgiving time.</p>


 </p>


Hell they have already started!</p>


 </p>


LET THE GAMES BEGIN!!</p>


 </p>


And you are right, I need Amazon, Netflix, HBO Go, Video Games, Blu ray. Which ever console delivers these with the least amount of fluff gets my dollar.</p>


 </p>


There will be only one this time.</p>

I recommend playing hockey with him when he's fucking up on painkillers and booze. You are in for a night</p>

When you drink and swallow pills, Offsides is no longer an issue.</p>

I'm not saying you win a lot of games. But I am decades ahead of my time.</p>

Have any of you tried World of Tanks?  Online mmo.  I have been absolutely hooked on this game.</p>

I meant painkillers and booze. I havne't played NHL hockey since like 93... it's gotten too complicated for me. haha.</p>

I killed Kaidan... WTF.. I KILLED KAIDAN.</p>


 </p>


 </p>


That's... that's. actually pretty fucking sweet... although I suspect he's not really dead... but no spoliers. It's taking me forever to get through the game because I like doing all the side quests first. I've just met the Reaper/ beat Saren for the first time kinda and Kaidan is dead cause of course I"m going to save the chick because I know she's in future games and I'm going to hit that all day. They never really confirmed his death so I'm going to assume he'll be back somehow. haha. interesting game so far. Some of the side missions I don't get. Like there is one little side scene for about convincing a woman to get her baby genetically tested. I guess it's just to immerse you in some of the tech that goes on. Games solid so far. Nothing mind breaking but I assume it's all leading up to some big reveals. I'm kinda surprised that I don't have any biotic powers, but I assume that's part of the big reveal as to why I am such a badass and survived Akuze. I feel like I"m maybe halfway through at least? Would really like to get to ME2 but I am going to make sure to do everything.</p>


 </p>


 </p>


Also. I hit paragon and am about halfway through renegade but can't figure out what it actually does? Are they just worthless indicators?</p>

Kaiden be dead for good (on a side note whoever you save shows up in ME3).</p>



Also Paragon and Renegade decide what options you can select in certain dialogs. Also in ME2 it factors a bit more elsewhere (hard to describe without spoilers of any sort)</p>


 </p>


Just pick one (or be neutral) and stick to it.</p>

But I thought the options I could select was based on my rating for Charm or Intimidate?</p>
