Game streaming is trash, I wouldn't bother with PS Now (or any other game streaming service). PS+ is worth the subscription for the free games alone (you get a couple of new ones every month), and you also need it to play online. But if you aren't interested in the free games or multiplayer you don't need either.

We got a PS4 recently and I love it. I wouldn't prefer anything else. I had an XBOX 360 in the past and it was kinda lame.

Playstation has far better exclusives. There's no real reason to own an X1 aside from a few rare exclusives.

Yeah when I looked into it the Xbox was like a more cheap and tacky version of the PlayStation and more suited to teenagers. I’m looking forward to start playing but I’m stressing out that I’ll never find the time

I'm personally a bigger fan of Xbox. It just feels more polished to me and I am more interested in their available games (e.g Forza Horizon) than PlayStation games.
Although, I have a lot of memories with PlayStation from when I was younger. We used to have one in our apartment at Tenerife and I would always play the Spongebob Squarepants: The Movie game. I never completed it because the games never saved so I always started from the beginning every time I played. My Dad also used to have old Sonic game collections on his PlayStation too, so I have more nostalgia towards that than Xbox, but overall prefer Xbox nowadays.

I ended up not spending much. My main concern was that it wouldn't be too noisy, which it isn't. Out of interest, how much noise do the XBox One and PS4 make? I have had a few Xbox 360s, which have ranged from almost silent to like having a lawn mower running in your house. Last edited by James; 29-09-2019 at 08:42 PM. |

Playstation!
We've had them all since 96 and will be getting the PS5 when it comes out. Had an Xbox 360 about 10 years ago but was so disappointed that we swore we would never buy an Xbox ever again. So Playstation all the way. |

For gaming on PC the main factor is graphics card, a fairly bog standard modern desktop CPU will keep up with a decent graphics card. Obviously a better CPU / better RAM is "better" but honestly the differences are very small compared to the difference a good graphics card will make. With graphics cards these days, even a pretty basic gaming card will run brand new games fine on medium / low settings. A card that will run on high / ultra will cost (mine was £600 just for the card ) BUT - because we're at the end of a console generation - most games on "low" on PC still look better than the same game on console. And will run at higher FPS. Some games look incredible on Ultra obviously but thinking about it with my sensible head on... Honestly you stop noticing the fancy effects and bells n whistles by the time you're an hour or so into a game. Medium settings are fine and you can get a card that'll do medium for 1/4 the price. As for console noise, I currently only have PS4 Pro and Switch. The Switch is silent, The 4 Pro... TSR is unfortunately right... It sounds like it's trying to take off. It literally drowns out the sound from the TV (and that's with a decent sound bar) if it's next to it. I took to only using headphones for a while - then went to extreme lengths. My PS4 now lives in a cupboard at the other end of the room, with a 5m long HDMI cable running to the TV . |

I'll use it a lot more in a few years when it inevitably gets cracked wide open for emulators. |
