The PS4 is actually great value. Not even trying to bait, it's a good option for people looking to play multiplats at decent settings.

Comparable PC:
>Case/PSU/RAM/1TB drive/Wifi = $150 (for shit quality stuff)

>CPU
i3 minimum to prevent bottlenecks = $100

>GPU
AMD shits the bed in tons of games, especially with a weak CPU.
4GB of VRAM if you want to run textures on medium/high like many PS4 games (yes, they do).
So GTX 960 4GB = $180 (yep, it beats a PS4 but it's expensive) or 370 4GB = $140 (with myriad AMD problems)

>Input
$20 gets you a pretty shitty KB+M. And you don't even have a controller for games that prefer one (Dark Souls).

Even without an OS, that's more than $400. And if some one doesn't play online, they won't have PSN costs. So admit it, the PS4 is decent value.
>>
Sure but who the hell would buy a PS4 now when there's gonna be a new version revealed in less than a month with upgraded hardware? June 13th
>>
Wow I bet this unique and original thread is going to yield a lot of in-depth discussion and new insights!
>>
Yes, yes, yes. It's not like you can have both or anything.

Must really sucks needing to have mommy buy everything for you.
>>
remember to pay for brand loyalty fees on games and yearly subscription for free games and no server p2p networking goy
>>
I would definitely agree its great value for 3rd world poor fags if it gets cfw and pirate games tho
>>
Cant play Bloodborne sequel or persona 5 on pc.

Falling for this bait.

One thing you Console Fags always forget is:
No monthly fees.
Infinite Backward compatibility.
Console developers shut down multiplayer servers of "older" games in favor of their new ones.

PS4 and Xbox have garbage apps. You wanna do anything other than Netflix or Hulu? Good luck. Also for some fucking reason PS4 doesn't support fucking NTFS or exfat. Seriously?

If I make an app for PC I don't have to pay a fucking dime. Make a free app for console? Too bad pay up. Wanna update that up? Too bad pay up.
>>
I agree, not trying to shitpost but by not getting a ps4 you are denying yourself of the 2 best games of the entire generation, bloodborne and uncharted 4 (and persona 5 in the future), maybe you should get a ps4 instead of a new GPU, it could be a good investment I think.
>>
>>337993083
>falling for pc

pc is literal epitome of irrelevancy
its gaming library looks like OUYA competitor
pc is trash
>>
>>337994639

you said 3 best games but i only see 1.
>>
If you casually play video games and you're not autistic then PS4 is the perfect choice. It's pretty much getting every relevant game that's come out.
>>
>>337993083
Sure its great value. No one will argue that. But I care about games, not about how low is the initial cost.

400, 800, 1000, 2000 is the same for anyone with a fucking job.

Plus even if we stop at value alone, games cost 25 bucks at release on pc while 60 on consoles, and then they drop to cents months later while it takes years for psn to lower prices. Finally sites like humble bundle give you a shit ton of games for almost free. PC has a higher initial cost, but talking strictly about value is greater value than a console. Buying and selling your physical games is actually more expensive than just buying games, and doesnt let you build a library.

Then again I dont care about value. I care about games

>if you dont use this basic feature you can save 50 bucks a year
Great value there champ!

Normal people, the Xbox 360 went through 7 hardware revisions throughout its lifespan, the PS4 has already had 1.

Kingdom come deliverance
Dishonored two (not sure about release date)
WItcher 3 blood and wine
Black desert (Already released)
That's just off the top of my head
These aren't games worth playing, that's subjective, these are just games I think are worth playing

There's no sense buying a PS4.
$400 for shitty performance.

Either buy an X1 for less, get all the same good games except bloodborne but plenty of your own exclusives plus backwards compatibility, a better online network, and a far better controller, or pay up more and go PC for the ultimate experience.

PS4 is literally a glorified multiplat machine and it doesn't even play multiplats anywhere near as good as PC.

I held off until the 360 due to red rings and waited for the falcon board and 65nm CPUs with an HDMI port on the non-elites(pictured). Held off on the DS until the XL. And held off on the 3DS until it had a 2nd analog. Also hold off on Steam games and put them on my wishlist until there is a sale. Being an early adopter is suffering. You can avoid the frustration with patience. And you'll end up enjoying your purchases much more when you don't have have to constantly compare your enjoyment to the price.

I've wanted to grab a PS4 for awhile and then I hears about the PS4K shit. Should I grab a PS4 now, or wait until the PS4K comes out? Is there any difference between them besides better graphics?

I did this too.

Yeah but I can't do any work on it, edit videos or plug my guitar into it and simulate hundreds of amp and pedal effects when I want to chill out

Wait for the next generation information. The PS4 is not worth the price. Just stay with what you have until more news comes out.
>Is there any difference between them besides better graphics?
We don't know yet.

PS4 is dog shit value. I'm not going to game on a shitty system that still cannot handle 60fps 1080p, same as I won't buy a PC outdated by 5 years.
And all the while the PS4 devs spouting "cinematic experience" and the consolefags simmering in their own shit.

So you bought it in the future? Sony hasn't announced shit yet.

except a brand new console thats gonna replace their bottom line

Where have they announced a new console dumbass? Everything we know about it is from rumors, none of which have sources from people willing to attach their name to them. Meanwhile nothing new has "leaked" since April.

I wish the ps4 was backwards compatible. I mean PS3s are like 80 bucks now which isn't a big deal but still.

He's got a point you know.

There's no reason to buy PS4. There's no reason to buy X1 either.

Why are there so many console v pc threads right now? Shouldn't these kids be in the bed?

I wish online was free on PS4
because it was free on PS3

and the system hasn't changed between the consoles. So why am I expected to pay through a paywall just to play games online and gain access to the features of my console?

AMD cards have been better than their Nvidia counterparts for a while now.

And let's not talk about how nvidia gimps their cards.

>inb4 AMD drivers
That's a blatant lie.

>And if some one doesn't play online, they won't have PSN costs. So admit it, the PS4 is decent value.
If someone doesn't play online then why the fuck would they pay for a game?Just buy a PC and pirate it.


No Ps4 is not decent value. You need to pay for single player games, and if you want multiplayer you need to pay even more.


Shill

>>337993083
I agree the ps4 is a great value buy
but that's all it is. I'm not poor or underage so I don't have to play on a "value" machine. Gaymen is a hobby and people tend to spend money on hobbies they enjoy.

>no backwards compatibility

why is this allowed
