Like you said in your previous post die hard gamers like myself and a few others on this forum have bought a new console already because to me and I am sure them you can't put a price on the hundreds of hours spent playing them.

If you are just a casual gamer or play in stints then it probably isn't worth spending £350 to £450 on release unless you have the money sitting around.

I paid more for my Xbox 360 than I did for my Xbox One and at the time I was a PC only gamer, so £500 felt like a lot of money. Especially when you only got tripe like King Kong, Condemned and Perfect Dark with it! The good thing about these new consoles is that gaming is so much more popular now that we have had some great release titles. Some people may disagree but for me BF4, Assassins Creed Black Flag and Dead Rising 3 have been keeping me very busy. I know BF and AC were on Xbox 360 too but it's nice having such big games on release of the console.

Agreed and thats rare me and you agreeing something

Hahaha it's like a Solar Eclipse, very rare but when it happens it's amazing

Tell you my thoughts about the Xbox one once i rig it all together at some point,I'm sick to death of dragging the TV stand back and fourth and have been busy the past few days and have had it since tuesday morning.

Haha you are mental mate! A Wii U, Ps4 and Xbox One? Where do you get the time to play them all?! I spend tens of hours on my Xbox a week and dont have time to get through everything haha

All nice things come in 3s mate its not about having the time its about having choice mate and as you know many times through the year there are periods of months when little in the way of any think decent gets released,take the summer months and then the period from November to around March time.

This year it was better because we had the 2 new consoles but there is not exactly what i would call mind blowing software on them.

The Nintendo Wii U is my bit of fun for when i want to play those platform type games only Nintendo make,and the other 2 are for online gaming and really drop dead gorgeous looking games in the future,as you know only to well Jaxx at some point you will be coming on here saying i wish i could play that but i only have whatever ?

And i tell you something else��And it shocked me the Wii U is a lovely bit of kit and has some really cool fun games

I say why not if you can afford to get all the systems, I would likely do the same as I love technology and gaming.

Now how about a gaming PC to cover all bases.. maybe a compact Alienware system ?

I have a lovely iMac 27inch here in the office trance but for PC gaming something like a windows PC is more ideal for gaming i guess.

But to be honest i don't like been restricted to office with mouse/keyboard set up playing online games,i like to lie back and chill in total comfort on a massive tv and cozy sofa with me joypad in hand

I will never go back to PC gaming mate as I'm totally satisfied with what the consoles offer me in way of games,choice and variety only seen on Consoles

Famous last words

I wonder if he's taken a look at the steam store lately. After the amount he has spent on those three consoles and his hybrid drive he could have got a half decent PC , run steam OS on it and be happily playing away. Built into something like this or
this it wont be too different from the consoles he's replacing.
