I get what your saying, but if you had enough money to buy a console, wouldn't you have enough to have internet? I just don't think it is that big of a disparity as people are trying to make out.

SO much hate for the Xbox One, but when you think about it logically and long term, it might actually be a better option than the PS4. At the end of the day it is up to each person to decide, but i don't think many casual consumers will have a problem with having to have internet on.

Me too. I have never liked any of the PS exclusives. I'm not saying that they are bad or anything I just grew up playing games like Halo and Forza. Plus all my friends will probably get the Xbox anyway. Right now I own an xbox 360 and ps3 and I hardly use my PS3. I mostly use it to watch Blu Rays. 2k14 will look amazing on both consoles though, especially if it is native 1080p.

It baffles me how some people just keep on defending Microsoft...they clearly have no respect for their consumers and are really trying to rape them as much as possible. I own both a ps3 and xbox360 but the online connection and DRM stuff of the Xbox One is ludicrous. No matter how anyone spins it, or how you defend Microsoft they are going to suffer this generation unless they are going to change some of these policies. Fine they had some great exclusives at E3...but how will they match up once the Uncharteds, God of Wars, Gran Turismos etc. start launching on PS4. Last of Us will also get a sequel sooner rather than later...Drive Club...Killzone...MLB The Show... The PS4 is incredibly easy to develop for so chances are that that will be the developing platform of choice. Plus PS+ is miles ahead in their offering compared to Xbox Live. Anyways, back on topic. I can't wait for NBA 2k14...it's definitely going to be my first game on PS4.

Mines too, when I asked which consoles people would buy 2k14 for, I asked that question because I saw a release date of Dec 31 for the PS4, and I assumed some people would buy a Xbox One (if they were going to buy a PS4 before) to skip the wait for next gen, now I know that, that was a false date and the consoles should be releasing around the same time.

I didn't ask to start a console war just to clarify, I really don't care what console you choose with your money, just enjoy sim basketball and hope 2k keeps trying to make their product better.

I agree with you, the Xbox One is not a bad console...and I'm actually impressed by a lot of what it has to offer. Plus it sucks that I won't be playing Forza 5...

The problem with the internet is...and I get what you are saying...in US, Europe and probably Australia you have a valid point. But coming from South Africa...internet is owned by a monopoly company that overcharges like crazy.

How much does your internet, line rental cost you a month? In dollars...if I may ask?

Internet prices in South Africa is high...and I'm only willing to dish out the amount of what wireless internet costs. The problem with that is...the signal is terribly inconsistent...and a good night is have 2 bars of H+ internet signal. Normally I get edge...which is useless. I'm living in Johannesburg, the biggest city in SA...and in one of the better areas as well.

My point is...that internet is a problem over here and Microsoft is alienating themselves from people like me. Sure I can log into xbox live every 24 hours...but it's a pain and if they use cloud for extra ram space etc. I'm screwed because of poor internet speeds.

Yeah, I guess I didn't realise that in some countries there is still a big dropoff in Internet speed and quality. I mean, I though that because technology is becoming cheaper and cheaper every year in this day and age, that even in countries that are poor they would still have decent Internet.

To answer your question, I'm not sure how much exactly we are paying for Internet lol since I'm 16 it's not me who is buying it, but off the top of my head I think it's $58 (AUD) for a good plan. How much would you usually have to pay in South Africa?

Including the line rental a 1mb uncapped line costs about $55 AUD. Seems similar...maybe the difference is that I have to pay it myself

But how stupid is this forced connection idea? And it's not only a problem with countries where internet comes at a premium. But what if I simply don't have internet at home? Maybe I'm wrong here since I'm still using some 10 years old mobile phone with no features besides talking to people, but can't you do all your surfing with smartphones anyway? Have you read the quote by this Microsoft exec? Are you f*cking kidding me?

Haha I have to admit that last quote was such a horrible PR move. But as I've said, the use of cloud is the redeeming feature IMO to make me choose it over the ps4. However I can see why the Xbox One wouldn't be a viable option for some people.
