Hey guys,

This might be premature but I picked up the ps4 and battlefield 4. If any one wants to friend me, I'm Atheist_60.

gonna get BF4 on PC, sorry!

How do you like the PS4 so far? That's the console I'm leaning towards getting. PS3 had ridiculously long load times, did they fix that?

Sharpster,

I'm not sure if they've improved it from the ps3 as I'm an xbox 360 migrant. But it's faster than the x360.

I had no interest in the kinect so for me the choice was interesting. Not to mention, it seemed to be aimed at gamers instead of aiming at everyone so I figured they'd get it right in the long run.

All things said and done I'm happy with the purchase. I needed a 3D blu-ray player and this fits the bill for that too. My only bummer is that it doesn't stream spotify. But other than that I'm pretty happy. Also, PSN+ gives you more bang for the buck than Microsoft's Gold thingy - I've already gotten three free games just for being connected to PSN +.

Regardless, I'm still primarily a PC gamer, but I have a lot of console gamer friends.

The PS4 will attempt to pre-download those annoying patches in the background. So you still get them, but they are a little less annoying.

Per the ArsTechnica review I read.

@Gambit - Ahh thanks, that was another concern.

@Atheist - If it's faster then the 360 they definitely improved it. I have both the PS3 and 360. After the PS3 loading screens became to much to handle, I bought the 360 used and never went back. I am not interested in the kinect or that the xbox is "always listening" (call it paranoia). Those 2 things were the final push toward PS4. And not to mention that it seemed like a more powerful machine anyway. Hopefully my better half can secure me one on her Black Friday adventures.

Stang and I chose Xbox One, add me Ghryphon and Stanglicious.

Remember with Kinect, you can play SIMS: X-rated.

just sayin'...

I have the original Kinect, already done that
