This price drop is wack for the people who copped before TF dropped

Not really since, you got to enjoy your console for several months.

 Ps4 is doing numbers because right now it's cheaper and the "cool" thing to buy 

 srs

ps+
better policies
non-arguably better exclusives
better future outlook

Of course this is your personal opinion.. Because we all know everything you mentioned is all a matter of preference. Except better policies because they don't have everything locked behind a subscription like live does. But if you're getting the new consoles those two subs are damb near mandatory.

I have ps+, but I haven't activated it.

Since the games they gave out for free, I already bought on the 360. 

That is reason enough as to why ps+>games with gold.

I've primarily been a 360 owner since 07. As soon as I delved into ps exclusives several months ago, I realized how much better they actually are. 

Heavy rain, gow3, UC 1/2, and infamous 1/2 were better than exclusive I played on the 360. 

All those games made my jaw drop.

The better future outlook was based on ps's past exclusives and the exclusives to come.

ISS, UC4, whatever sony santa monica has on deck, quantam dream, etc.

son...

son...

the same ssm that laid off basically an entire team and lost a game director. There next game is gonna be GOW. How exciting

 

[carver]

I understand where you are coming from iyen.. But again, those are all your own preference not everyone likes the same stuff. Believe it or not people actually like what ms has to offer in terms of exclusives over sony.

With that said I own both again.. Sooner than I wanted but it was a deal I couldn't pass up plus I wanted to play two sonzz

 

[deleted]

Are there any certain buzz words that I should use to expedite the process of getting my $50 refund from Amazon?

 

[swendro]

Well I'd be curious to hear your thoughts on Black Tusk then. Brand new studio gets new game put on ice (if not totally scrapped) to work on another gears game. That's just as unexciting.

No doubt it sucks. But for all the slack MS gets for having halo gears Forza etc. Sony does the exact same thing

 

[itsaNYthing]

I need this bundle a little cheaper and I'll buy it. Yes, Im being cheap

 

[deleted]

I'm currently chatting with Amazon and they're trying to deny my refund. They said I should just return my previous order and place a new order and apply the promo code.

What do I do bruhs?

 

[carver]

Most of their reps are pushovers and want to satisfy their customers. You should always get a refund.. Especially if you just bought the bundle. They'd at least give you 50 in amazon credit.

Looks like I got the one tough cookie in the bunch...Allen isn't letting up.

Looks like I got the one tough cookie in the bunch...Allen isn't letting up.

Maybe disconnect from Allen and try someone else?

 

[blakep267]

Eh. I talked to an Asian guy named Bong at like 230 this morning. He must body have given a **** because he was like ill put it through. Let's see of they cancel it

 

[deleted]

I cracked him.

First he tried to tell me that it couldn't be done.

Then he said I could return my first order and place an order for a new one and then apply to promo code.

Then he said they could give me 25 back instead of 50.

If anyone else is having trouble, you just need to be persistent.

 

[brutalkidalex]

Any one love/hate MGSV:GZ yet? 100% it either? (s ranks and all)

Yeah, the first guy I chatted with said he would be fired immediately if he did it

Second girl initiated the refund though.

Any one love/hate MGSV:GZ yet? 100% it either? (s ranks and all)

I want to get it. For the Gamestop return, can I do it with a brand new game or does it have to be pre-owned?

 

[carver]

They have that 7 day thing only for preowned games I believe.

Carver nailed it. That's just your preference. Better outlook is completely subjective. For me and I'm sure most Xbox owners, Halo, GOW, Quantum Break, Sunset Overdrive, Forxa Horizon. Fable sound way more enticing. Not too mention we already have Titanfall, Killer Instinct, Forza. Dead Rising, PvZ etc. Also, most Xbox users get great use out of the myriad of entertainment features the Xbox provides. The entertainment aspect of the PS4 simply does not compare and doesn't offer anything revolutionary. But again. that stuff is only important if the user wants it. Again, all preference. At the end of the day, there are two GREAT consoles out on the market and we benefit as consumers. As an Xbox owner, I would be tight if the PS4 was ****. Healthy competition between the two results in better products for all of us

That's what I thought, I'll probably check it out later.

 

[carver]

I'm sure you can find a used copy by now there had to have been hella folks that already beat it and sold it

Actually no GS in Columbus has it

Even with that list.. it still comes down to who's judging it and who's buying it.

On that whole list of PS3 exclusives, I've played the Uncharted games and TLOU, never played GOW or LBP but my niece and nephews love it and it looks mad fun.. but on the xbox list I've played damb near all of them above 80.. it comes down to who's buying it and what individual people want.. oh and viva pinata was the **** 

 loved that game 

and vice versa someone has played all those PS3 exclusives and hardly any of the xbox ones.. it comes down to what you prefer and what you're buying at the end of the day.

 

[blackboyfly]

but on the xbox list I've played damb near all of them above 80..

Well that's because there aren't that many

But seriously, I agree with you. If the quantity in the list was switched the other way around the PS3 list would still impress me more purely off of the Naughty Dog games along with MGS4. And I'm sure some feel that way with Halo/Gears etc.

Still, I don't think what IYen said is inaccurate. Yeah everything comes down to personal preference, but as that list shows the general concensus among gamers is that Playstation has a better group of exclusive games.

I supposed..

But out of everything on both list Halo 3 > all of them. personally

and you and others will all have a different best.. because that's personal preference.

I think I've agreed to disagree a thousand times in these debates.. and we will do it again blackboy 

 agree to disagree

 

[youngsimba12]

Yep its definitely all preference...ratings or not. Im an avid Sly and Ratchet & Clank fan and enjoy em all, but I have a friend that thinks they're the most boring games ever. There's no fun value in it for him. And I tend to be that way about his game choices as well 

 its like that one movie you find entertaining and thought was good but everyone else hates it. At the end of the day it only matters what you think and enjoy. I see where you're coming from though as I too think PS has the better titles but its all subjective
