Xbox One vs PS4 - GO!

I was really bummed to see that the PS4 is using an X86 processer as opposed to sticking with the cell processor. I think that CPU really gave the PS3 an edge in processing power, but in practice it was harder to code for, so I understand the switch.

I'll be interested to see how the PS4 works as a media centre - the PS3 was a great buy eve without using it for games!

Ain't that the truth. I own only one PS3 game (Elder Scrolls: Oblivion) but use my PS3 almost every day to watch Hulu, Amazon Prime, and Netflix.

Banzai Cat.  PS4 will be able to play PS3 games via cloud streaming.. But  I doubt they'll give you free access to a title that you currently have in the form of a physical disc. Also not sure if they will acknowledge the stuff you bought from PSN.

Migmaster. Yup. Cell is cutting edge but it is also the limiting factor. The devs still prefer conventional processors.

My wife and I watched The Avengers on Amazon Instant View (Prime) tonight via the PS4. It had one minor error that forced us to restart the app and resume, but the resolution was great and we were very pleased. No idea on the Hulu Plus and Netflix Apps, because we do not have a sub for those.
