From what I'm hearing it is quite a step up from the PS3. I want one, but I dont mind waiting for stock to come back into Aus Maybe someone was nice and pre-ordered me one for christmas... doubt it b

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.

      Is there a good place to learn how an engine works online?

      By Murray_Calavera · Posted

      What are you planning to do specifically?  I would be very surprised if you need to learn any math for these 'few builds' you have planned for the future.

      I transferred from full time service to Army Reserve, so I still have access, work has been super keen to get me in to work in the OPS realm, so just turning up to use the gym......and ovens, isn't causing any issues, apart from me needing to keep on telling them that I won't be doing any reserve days until I get my joint in Goulburn sorted  Basically I can now work whenever I want, for how long I want now, and it's all tax free Next time we have some fires or floods you might see me covered in mud, or cutting sick in some plant equipment cleaning up, the Reserves love getting in the news, LOL

      Final finish outcome of 80°c was typical to the pics, I've turned the oven down to 50°c and will pick them up after the gym tomorrow  The before and after difference was amazing, the wrinkle paint has covered all of the casting marks completely It did take a couple of hours to key it all and get in all of the crevices, but, for me it was time well spent for the final outcome, but I have all the time in the world to do it at the moment  Ended up with 4 coats, each sprayed at different angles to get optimal coverage and thickness As for the fixtures and intake box thingo that hasn't made it, the supplier is apparently posting the fixtures, and, are now sending a different CAI that is in stock The replacement CAI is actually better than what I originally ordered, but will require a pod filter that locates under the front bar, still serviceable, but it basically removes the whole OEM filter box and ducts into the front bar, so filter cleaning will require ramps and the removal of some front bar undertray, not a war stopper, just some ramps and an additional 10 minutes work every few months From looking at it it is made from alloy pipe from the throttle body, through the CAI hole in the rad support, then right turning under the bar, luckily the wrinkle paint was on special and I got 2 cans for $30ish, so the alloy will get the same wrinkle treatment as the intake manifold, hopefully it turns up soon, either way, the car will be getting booked in soon, if the parts aren't here, I'll just get MX5 Mania to " make it work"

      I'm so glad base security is so high. I see they stopped some random codger from being able to just wander in off the street... 😛   PS, intake looks good!
