Ask Slashdot: Xbox One Or PlayStation 4?
An anonymous reader writes: I'm looking at getting the kids a new gaming console for Christmas this year. I'm stuck trying to decide between getting an Xbox One or a PlayStation 4. I'm really wary on the PlayStation because of the 5 PS2s with broken optical drives sitting in my garage; none lasted more than two years. On the other hand, I'm also wary of buying a Microsoft product; I'm a Linux user for life after getting tired of their crappy operating system. I've also considered getting a gaming PC, whether Linux or Windows, but it's more expensive and game reviews show most are not as good as a dedicated game console. The kids want Fallout 4, and I want Star Wars Battlefront and any version of Gran Turismo. We currently have a Nintendo Wii and a crappy gaming PC with some Steam games. So, which gaming console should I get that will last a long time?
My kids can play with Lincoln Logs just like I did. The Playstation is mine, dammit.
You are welcome on my lawn.
Well, I have been playing M rated games since I was 9. And I grew up perfectly normal. For instance, last week I tried to stab a guy but I hit his belt buckle...
Pfft kids these days and your nurtured upbringing. Back in my day we jumped on each other's heads in the hope that we could collect enough coins to buy magic mushrooms.
