The "problems" with the X1 didn't bother me in the slightest. I don't trade/buy second hand games, I don't tend to play old gen games, and my Xbox is online 24/7 anyway. What's the big f**kin' deal?

I borrow games, I play older games(incl ps1 and 2), and use it as a bluray player.

I hope the ps4 has backplay, but doubtful.

Hasn't it already been confirmed that PS4 is not backwards compatible?

MS are building a steambox. Awesome. That's exactly what I'm after.

LOL, nice. and very true.

Will buy either one in the near future when I don't want to spend 600 bucks for a half decent graphics card then spend another 600 to SLI/cross fire it.

true dat....I just got myself a GTX670 OC :) and twas only half that.

Wow....that was sooo boring I fell asleep.

Hope is the first step on the road to disappointment.

smart man, I don't have much hope or high expectations. I'm rarely disappointed.

Architecture dictates that backwards compatibility isn't gonna be a thing. Too far different.

This.

Here's another video to bore everyone's socks off,

It's a lengthy vid, and probably more suited/interesting to the techheads on these forums.

Mark Cenry, PS4 Chief Architect explains why they've chosen the specific hardware for the PS4 - learning from their mistakes with PS3, it turns out, things like unified memory and x86 architecture were all requested by the developers.

He also explains their two options of either using a total 256bit GDDR5 RAM VS 128bit GDDR5 Ram plus a small amount of eDRAM and why they chose the route they did.

The first half is mostly about his prodigy background and how Sony evolved from the PS1 all the way through to the PS3; if you want PS4 specific, it starts at ~34:00.

The PS4 will dedicate approx. 3.5GB to the OS and leave games to play with 5.5GB. This equals to 9GB you say? That's because developers can utilise 1GB from the OS when required.

http://www.geek.com/games/ps4-gives-5-5gb-of-ram-to-games-out-of-8gb-1563583/

The xbone will have 3GB for OS and 5GB for games.

Will it make much difference in the end? Perhaps

Lol, on paper, yes; the PS4 wins.

However, both are still technically similar, so it'll end up on which has the features and games you're more interested to use/buy.

The ability to seamlessly switch from one game to the other is a plus.

So I've ended up getting a PS4

Verdict so far = FU CKING AWESOME

Everything just works so smoothly. The games load super quick (even with the stock hdd) and it's just an all round fun toy. I've bought it with Killzone: Shadow Fall, and despite the reviews, I can't get over how awesome the game is for a launch title. The camera voice control (although limited in function compared to the kinect) works flawlessly.

A couple of mates have the xbox one. The kinect is really cool and user friendly. Being able to surf the net while playing is pretty good.

A mate had pre-ordered one and decided he didn't want it; so I bought it instead :D

I think they're all sold out ATM and you may have to wait till December to buy one. The JB in my area is sold out until Feb 2014…

There are plenty of xbones in stock. It's also a pretty good system if you wanna go next gen sooner than later.

Played Forza 5 on mates Xbone today.....played for about 30 minutes...best racing sim ever.

And the Kinect is f**king awesome. The voice command works incredibly well, as does the gesturing.

    • Hi, SteveL Thank you very much for your reply, you seem to be the only person on the net who has come up with a definitive answer for which I am grateful. The "Leak" was more by way of wet bubbles when the pedal was depressed hard by a buddy while trying to gey a decent pedal when bleeding the system having fitted the rebuilt BM50 back in the car, which now makes perfect sense. A bit of a shame having just rebuilt my BM50, I did not touch the proportioning valve side of things, the BM50 was leaking from the primary piston seal and fluid was running down the the Brake booster hence the need to rebuild, I had never noticed any fluid leaking from that hole previously it only started when I refitted it to the car. The brake lines in the photo are "Kunifer" which is a Copper/Nickel alloy brake pipe, but are only the ones I use to bench bleed Master cylinders, they are perfectly legal to use on vehicles here in the UK, however the lines on the car are PVF coated steel. Thanks again for clearing this up for me, a purchase of a new BMC appears to be on the cards, I have been looking at various options in case my BM50 was not repairable and have looked at the HFM BM57 which I understand is manufactured in Australia.  
    • Well the install is officially done. Filled with fluid and bled it today, but didn't get a chance to take it on a test drive. I'll throw some final pics of the lines and whatnot but you can definitely install a DMAX rack in an R33 with pretty minor mods. I think the only other thing I had to do that isn't documented here is grind a bit of the larger banjo fitting to get it to clear since the banjos are grouped much tighter on the DMAX rack. Also the dust boots from a R33 do not fit either fyi, so if you end up doing this install for whatever reason you'll need to grab those too. One caveat with buying the S15 dust boots however is that the clamps are too small to fit on the R33 inner tie rod since they're much thicker so keep the old clamps around. The boots also twist a bit when adjusting toe but it's not a big deal. No issues or leaks so far, steering feels good and it looks like there's a bit more lock now than I had before. Getting an alignment on Saturday so I'll see how it feels then but seems like it'll be good to go       
    • I don't get in here much anymore but I can help you with this.   The hole is a vent (air relief) for the brake proportioning valve, which is built into the master cylinder.    The bad news is that if brake fluid is leaking from that hole then it's getting past the proportioning valve seals.   The really bad news is that no spare parts are available for the proportioning valve either from Nissan or after market.     It's a bit of a PITA getting the proportioning valve out of the master cylinder body anyway but, fortunately, leaks from that area are rare in my experience. BTW, if those are copper (as such) brake lines you should get rid of them.    Bundy (steel) tube is a far better choice (and legal  in Australia - if that's where you are).
