I knew idiots would latch onto this one point. Also what a horribly written OP

Bottom line is it's one small gripe in a sea of goodness. The good outweight the bad completely and XBone still has some really dodgy DRM and anti cinsumer policies in place with a high price. Sony is the opposite, THAT'S why it's better

ITS BETTER than xbox because PS4 will NOT ask you for PS+ to watch Netflix or chrunchyroll or any other app, you dont need PS+ to send a text message to friends and so on BUTTT you need it now to play online.

PS+ is far more worth it than Xbox Live anwyays because its $10 cheaper and Sony usually give you 15 months for that $50 unlike MS which is always 12 months, PS+ offers mega discounts and a lot of games if you are not the kind of person to buy too many games, heck they already confirmed 4 games PS+ memebers to get on the PS4 including DriveClub.

Thanks for that grammatical holocaust. And you don't seem to understand the fundamental difference between XBL Gold and PS+.

One con does not equal 5 pros. The Xbox has about 5 cons and no pros in this area.

Instant Games Collection and Discounts make PS+ worth it because it pays for itself. 

 

I doubt many who dislike Gold would see PS+ as worth it for the online play.

How is it better you ask....Hmm Well it is ten dollars cheaper per year. Getting all those games is pretty darn cool. The beta testing and discounts are also nice.

as i have said in previous threads, sony pretty much won in consoler terms because : NO DRM , NOT ALWAYS ONLINE requirement - those two things were the ones that won the whole issue. the $100 less is irrelevant due the fact that in a longterm aspect sony is gonna make a whole bunch of money and your gonna end up paying more than you expected if you are going to play online due the charging on PSN system for being able to play, sony doesnt exactly loses money but earn more, cant say the same about us. pretty clever from sony to be honest well played for them.

If Microsoft didn't have the DRM and Connection BS, they would have owned Sony at E3 this year. Too bad so sad, they did it to themselves. Not to maintain even though it sucks you still get all those PS+ benefits and PS+ still isn't required for apps like Netflix.

Let's consider this

PS4 Pros:

-$400

-Used games

-Trading games

-No online requirement

-Not region locked

-No online check-in

-Better hardware

-Smaller console

 

PS4 cons:

-Pay $5 a month for online multiplayer and other services from PSN Plus

 

 

...oh no? Seems like a pretty damn minor thing.

I get that, and I get people hating on it. But it's nothing new to gaming, new to PS sure. and the fact that they're using this one small gripe as some sort of ammo against the PS4 when it had soooooo much more good stuff is just dumb.

Paying for online play was always gonna be an inevitability

I knew idiots would latch onto this one point. Also what a horribly written OP

Bottom line is it's one small gripe in a sea of goodness. The good outweight the bad completely and XBone still has some really dodgy DRM and anti cinsumer policies in place with a high price. Sony is the opposite, THAT'S why it's better

Best E3 ever. It had everything lol

Sony's conference also failed because they tried to pass off live demos but they froze and stopped working proving the guys on stage were just standing there

i agree on that , MS had a nice conference and the console isnt really bad at all, it just happens they went on stupid mode and put DRM , always online and watching crap.

Jandurin

why

Once a company shows success in charging for it others will follow. MS had a lot of subs to gold with 360 and Sony weren't gonna miss out on that slice of pie.

It's like the way DLC is today, once CoD got away with it everyone tried their hand

Sony fans will be hypocrites about this but to be fair it is still $10 less then XBL, free/rent games, betas, plus other things that are not on xbl.
