I would wait a few weeks for E3. It's likely we will hear about PS Neo then. Right now nobody ACTUALLY knows what it is. We don't know how it will be priced, or what the effect will be on PS4 pricing. It's all rumors (albeit seemingly well substantiated ones). At that point, you would be able to make an informed decision on whether to dive in on a PS4 or not
Unless the newer PoS4 is more expensive than the one already available I see no reason why you shouldn't wait, what's the rush ? In my case, I should have waited a couple of years before purchasing mine.
But i could wait thill E3 ... but aigan that new NEO system won't be released instanly its probbly more like October
Sorry, yes I didn't mean the Neo will be out at E3 - I meant you might want to wait until E3 to at least find out if it's worth waiting until fall-next spring for.
i was going to wait but i said screw it and bought one today. i had a gift card for $25 bucks and that helped cut back the price some but not enough. my guess is that the PS4 will go to $300 bucks but i have no proof on that. i wanted the uncharted 4 bundle that best buys had but that was just to much so i said screw it and go the call of duty bundle a game that i could care less about oh well. as for the 4.5 from what's been said so far the graphics are better like they aren't great already ya know?
they updated the console more or less so it can be hooked up to the VR and i think they said it will have certain games made for the 4.5 that you can't play on the standard version. i could care less about the VR and i'm not waiting another 3 years until the price goes down on that. i never buy a system when it 1st comes out cause it's just too much. i've looked everywhere online to see if the price was going to come down on the standard ps4 and the closest thing that was posted that was recent was the dude who runs Microsoft predicting the price will go down this year again. i got to admit that's him being realistic and on the ball if it turns out to be true.
i can't say that i blame you at all. i've been looking all over the net still as mine hasn't been opened yet. i haven't had a chance to play it to be honest. i've been playing my 360 actually that i recently bought used. funny how it works out that way ya know? lol anyways the reason i'm still looking cause i don't want to feel like an idiot for not waiting yet at the same time i'm glad i didn't wait. cause i originally was going to wait but i thought screw it. what's sad i saw somewhere online is that apparently gamestop is selling less consoles than they used to thanks to those stupid games on ones phones or ipads i don't care for those i prefer consoles or handhelds myself. those are to me actual games. sorry for going off topic a bit folks and i am also curious if the price will go down as well.
@Sokol4ever: erm im from the Eu so im not sure if it's worthwile. How do I add you to my friends list on the ps4? Love to have some friends on the ps4.
@Ackbar: If you are not interested in 4K than the new version of the PS is not for you. Also, it will most likely only be 4K video playback, if it was 4K gaming than it would be over $1000. Totally not worth it in my opinion.
buying a system once is enough for me unless it breaks down, and of course i'm referring to the people who already own a PS4 who no doubt will upgrade to the 4.5 or whatever the hell it's going to be called ? from my understanding the upgrade as i was watching videos on you tube last nite and if the info is correct, you will be able to play the games that are made for it, certain games i dunno leaving out the VR games i assume. on the system but they won't be as nice and shiny as they would be
on the 4.5. personally i don't really care because games today have outstanding graphics, yes the Wii had plenty of graphics that were pretty bad don't get me wrong. but i'm from the 80's friends and i still have an NES and i still play it every now and than. and those were pixel games pretty much unlike today's games that are realistic pretty much. anyways my point is having said that i'm okay with a standard PS4. the graphics are still going to look good no matter what. i've been playing arkham asylum and City lately and those games have outstanding graphics. weather it's the remastered version or not they still look great even a few years after they 1st came out.
This is true. I do think there's some prudence in waiting for little landmark moments so you can make an informed choice, but - these things are toys and meant to be played with. People obsessing over waiting for the next best thing will just be missing out on hours of game time. Of course, if there is writing on the wall that support is ending / a discontinuation is happening (e.g., Wii U), then you might take a different perspective. But otherwise, eh. If it's got the games you want and is getting more, then go for it. It's not like I hesitate to play 20-year old consoles, so why would I hesitate to play a PS4 with a Neo on the horizon?
