The Computer/Console Gaming Thread

Just took some students to Gamers Club at the Library and the other school didn't show up. Therefore I played against my students. First we played some Sonic Racing Game on the Wii - one student was very amused that I kept kicking their butts and the other just couldn't handle being outgamed by a teacher.

After that we played the new Call of Duty game on the PS4's. First time I've used a PS4 - the graphics and gamplay were fantastic!

Man I love those Sonic Racing games! They're so much fun! And lol at kids getting upset at being beaten by an elder!

Yeah, I always have to put it in context for these teenage students who just assume they can kick your butt:

'Look, don't feel bad, I was playing MK3, Mario Kart 64 and Goldeneye before you were even born'

Geez saying it makes ya feel old though

I am dancing around the idea of buying a PS4. The recent price drop and new model release puts some good deals out there. Missed a really good Target/Ebay deal earlier this week.

Haven't quite decided on which size hard drive to get, but if it's not too more expensive to get the largest size I'll probably do that.

The idea has crossed my mind but there really isn't a good amount of exclusive games in it's library I would be interested in to justify the upgrade.

After I played all the exclusives I was interested in, the main purpose of my PS3 is to watch movies and that's what it has done for the vast majority of its life. I am pretty sure those media features on the PS4 are not that much different.

wow awesome purchases benny ... i use too buy all the limited edition stuff as well but i ran out of space to put them ... and most of them arent that good of quality either ....
The Ps4 deal is good now ... with some places like bigw offering it for 350 .... and i think 500GB is plenty for storage as you can always delete the game that you don't play anymore ..but your saves is still there .. that around min 5 large games already ....really how many games do you play at any give time? .. you can always d/l or reinstall the games any time you want anyway ...
But if your a gamer , then it be a good investment now as it still a new platform so it would be in use for many years to come... and i dont see the price dropping any more then that for about a year from now if we are lucky... i actually bought it for $360 last year from dicksmith online sale .... and it still that price a year later ....

Thought the same thing, but I still have a good half dozen games to finish on the PS3 and another 3 on the wii-u. Plus with a baby due in the coming weeks I'll not be having any time for games for a while!

$350 is a great price even for the 500gb drive!

I bought a 1tb Xbox One recently before the price drop of the 500gb versions. At the time it was only a $50 difference between the 2 HD sizes so just went for the larger one which was more value for the price. With the price drop I would definitely lean towards the 500gb if I was buying now.

Edit: funny thing as well is that the day we brought home the Xbox One, the 360 packed it up and gave us the dreaded ring of death. Well I like to think that the old machine hung on as long as it could then finally let go when something else was able to replace it.
