Friendly warning about next gen consoles

    As per usual, I see that there are issues with the PS4 due to a huge lack of pre-release testing.
    I predict that as Microsoft are also in a rush to get their console out there, there will be a lot of people reporting crash-issues with their shiny XBox Ones.

    The main lesson to learn is to never, ever buy a next-gen console until at least 6 months after launch. This gives the manufacturer a chance to fix all the issues & apply upgrades to the hardware & software.
    That's the lesson? Really, so in 6 months new gen buyers won't get plenty of game play then?

    Don't be silly.

    I feel sorry for the mums and dads who have scrimped and scraped all year to get there son or daughter one of these expensive next gen consoles, will put in under the tree for Christmas and when they open it on Christmas day it's faulty.. That would break my heart as a parent to see my kids face drop.. I hope all parents check them before putting them under the tree, and do the fix.

    What would break my heart is giving my kid a brand new ps4 for Christmas, when all I've got is a ps3. I'm finding the vita I've got him tempting as it is.
    There's a storm coming, Mr Johnson. You and your friends better batten down the hatches, because when it hits, you're all gonna wonder how you ever thought you could live so large and leave so little for the rest of us.

    As mentioned if I had kids I would test before the big day, I know a friend has tested and set all the parental controls on a 3DS for his kid.

  • sorry i was just speculating at the possibility. also its just my personal stance that i would prefer to wait after the 360 ring of death and the ps3 yellow light of death. i genuinely hope your console works fine and has no problems. by the way did you hear theres a new uncharted coming to ps4?


    Thanks :D yeah I did! I'm very excited! It's one of my favourite IPs :j I just hope they stick with Drake rather than a new protagonist, Uncharted without Nathan Drake would be like Tomb Raider without Lara, it just wouldn't be the same!

    Rumours say that the Xbox was primed for March and brought to Nov due to PS4.

    Rumours say that the world is flat, that the Earth is the centre of the universe, and that Datolite doesn't honestly believe and repost every wild ridiculous fanboy comment he hears on every forum.
