PS4 VS XBox 1 Price Battle

It was a clear choice in the announcement of the pricing at the E3 event, who the winner would be. As soon as Microsoft announced that price being set to $499, many gamer's immediately boycotted the thoughts of not being able to play used games on the system and to have to pay a fee if you chose to do so.

I for one do not like the Idea that I have to check in every 24 hours to check the validity of my system and game ownership. I also don't like having to pay a FEE to play on MS live. I know that the average family is not going to want to pay $60 per game and $10 per month and $500 for a system and other fees.

I waited all day to hear the announcement of the pricing and the "restrictions" that PlayStation 4, and to my surprise they were actually $100 less then Xbox one. No fee to play old game and no restrictions, No Need to check in every 24 hours. Free online play and a great system of $399. They also opened the platform to allow new development company's and indie game creators. More content more choices.

To me it was a no brainier.  PlayStation won this round. and won many new customers from Microsoft.

I wouldn't put it past Microsoft to drop the price, but the restrictions will still be there.

What was your thoughts? Which will you buy?
