With the PS4 now released has anyone purchased one already?

And have you preordered an Xbox One or intend buying on soon?

Personally I'm not so interested quite yet with these 2 new systems. I'm going to wait and see what happens and will probably buy them at some point next year, maybe in the summer once there are a few games available to play though, and also to make sure the initial teething issues are resolved; we have already seen a few owners of the new PS4 having video/audio issues (but only effecting 0.4% of buyers apparently).

You already point it.
To soon to buy it. I will wait to see more games, more features.
And i am very curious to see what the pirate genius will do. I wonder how many time to break it...

Same here, and anyway, it's not out in Europe yet.

I'm probably gonna do the same like with the "last" generation, gonna buy PS4 first, and perhaps at a later point also an XBox One. A friend here at work pre-ordered both consoles, which I think is a bit crazy, but he's quite into gaming. He already even sold his PS3, to have enough cash ready. For me it's not a cash problem, but I also think you should wait a bit, although sometimes it just overcomes me, and I go to the shop and just buy it. I also doubt that here in Luxembourg the consoles will be sold out straight away in the shops.

Might get it for Christmas, my girlfriend has a new job since 2 months at a Scandinavian bank (Nordea), so she started to work full days instead of only 20 hours a week, and she now makes over the double what she made before. Good for me She already asked which one of the 2 consoles I would usually buy, is that a sign?

It's not that she has any interest in gaming! But you should buy your partner something HE actually likes

Not interested in either tbh.

So I'm the only bandwagon-jumper here? I have a PS4 on pre-order so checked the allready purchased one option. I was going to get one of them either way. Went with the PS4 because, heh, Microsoft. They really put their foot in it this time around.

I've ended up always getting Sonys consoles because of platform familiarity, but I've realised long ago that this generation, for a guy that only gets one of the consoles the 360 was a better platform than the PS3. At least until PS+ came around which is a great deal. If I'd known what I know today I'd probably have chosen differently. So this time around I was open to both options, watched both reveals and E3 conferences and, heh, Microsoft.

I'm getting a PS4.

Really? What made you think that. For me owning a PS3 first, I eventually decided to buy a 360 only last year to play the few exclusives it had available so I hadn't missed out on them. I really don't like the 360 anywhere near as much as the PS3. Don't like the dashboard as much, or the game store.. although scrapping the points and putting real values on items is a huge improvement recently. But I still don't like the system as much. Maybe it was just because I am so used to and prefer the PS3.

But I must say I hated it when Sony completely redesigned the PS Store. Initially I really didn't get on with it, but they really seem to have continued work on it for the better, and although you can see a lot of 360 dashboard inspiration the PS3 store's interface is really nice to use these days. Anyway.. I digress.

I was a bit late getting into the current generation, buying a PS3 when the Slim was released. Mainly because I just wasn't too interested early on, and also because I had a ton of games on the PS2 and PC to play through. And not getting a 30 until the slim last year. I also hate paying release day prices for games, and buying a system late really provides you with a lot of cheap gaming.

@Teho. What games are you buying with the PS4? And are looking forward to?
