:rotfl: A PS4 is the same as an Xbox as a PC it all depends what you want it for.

I use a PC to game now and again and to be honest it's a lonely affair then take into consideration that the developers of games keep shifting the goal posts so you have to constantly upgrade so that games will run.

A PS4 is a good console and Sony demand that the devs make games that run and are future proofed as I don't know anyone who puts a new GFX card in a console every 6months, unfortunate as the PS4 is aimed at the gamer it also because a bit of a loners console.

Xbox one is also good and does not suffer with GFX updates etc but is aimed more to the casual gamer and person who would like more of an entertainment system, personally consoles have the edge as you just switch them on and off you go where a PC is a pain especially when dealing with hardware etc.

For me pc is too costly and more hassle. I prefer ps exclusives. Plus I got disillusioned when i got the ring of death with Xbox. The only exclusive I miss is gears of war. I think The only thing that is missing entertainment wise on PS4 is a CD player.
To sum up you will be happy with either but ps just edges it when all issues are considered.

Well done,@ under £30 a year.
I know for you its a life changing amount though.

£90 in total. If you sell it after a year that's £60 wasted needlessly. If you are happy with that it's up to you.

Are they? They simply say the codes stack and that renewing every few years would be better if you didnt want to renew every year - no questions present.

Ok, but as some of us here have established there is no need to do it and there are risks to it.

No,The idea is you stack when the codes are cheap. I last stacked @ £22
So full retail is £39.99. Why not call it £120?
so a near 50% potential saving.

Are you referring to someone you know with a PS4?
I'm assuming you have hands on knowledge?

Indeed, you would save potentially but only if you see it out. Now some may think it's worth it. Well fair enough.

Well that's still there. No point in selling when I wouldn't get much for it.

There are major benefits to it also - why only focus on the negative? That is why people do it - not because they need to but because - for them at least - the benefits far outweigh the risks.

The exact same reason people buy 12 months membership instead of 12 x 1 month memberships or 4 x 3 months.
