Is it worth buying a PS4 now? Planning to get one for Persona 5, but the release date isn't confirmed yet.

The list of games available now is also very little and not many interesting ones.

at RM1500 - RM1600 range I wouldn't buy, very little exclusive game title and the life cycle of a console is not as long as PC. Although console player would say otherwise.

Its fine if you have that money to blow, but if you are looking for maximum amount of stuff you can do with a PS4 I'd say that amount is better spend on a good quality graphic card and ram.

It is only WORTH the investment if you have the money to blow on the entire PSN subscription (kinda worth it, if you can finish as many games as possible within the time you subscribed)

I would suggest to borrow from a friend and play those few games you like would be better. Like what I did with heavy rain last time, you don't often re-visit old titles.

PC can set up with a sofa and 60"LED TV. Like I have mention, what PS4 can do PC can too.

On the other hand if you play a PS4 exclusive game with multiplayer would you expect your friend to get one too just for that game? Hence PC is the better option for me.

This are all just personal opinion, I just don't prefer console because they can't adept like PC.

And also with my pool of friends that regularly try out new game PS4 can't provide like what a PC would.

So for those who are rich and don't mind blowing money then sure, why not.

As for me that amount could have so many option for so many different things. So unless I am a super big fan of something I won't spend it on a PS4.

PC strictly for Japanese Artistic Video consumption. brows.gif

On a more serious note, just no like how the price gouging method of GPU products. It's not cheap to take advantage of those higher gaming resolutions, huge camera MP and 4k videos, the price for speedy PCs just not an affordable option given the current pricing. So the argument of cheaper pc rigs vs ps4 was mooted unless you are talking 4 to 5 cycles behind hardwares. The problem is every 3 months another CPU and GPU upgrade announcement and requirements imposed by software developer just getting more demanding with every new iteration.

Looking at you ADOBE. My 3 year old workstation already lagging behind the current creative suite of programs as everything gotten bigger in file size. The base titan x cards already gonna cost me 2 units of ps4.

PS4 exclusives is reason enough to buy PS4. Bloodborne FTW. Also what not to like when you can play AAA games on launch date and not delayed PC port.

yes, worth it. Now waiting for gen 2 PS4.

The usual argument always follow, pc is better, faster, nicer.......with all the hassle to set up and get it playing as well. I am lazy, i just want to go back, sit on my couch, switch on the console and play. No need to think of all the hassle every time i have a new game that i wanted to play
