How are they for blu-ray or NetFlix? I've had terrible luck with blu-ray players and was thinking of moving up to a PS4, but it will mostly be used for NetFlix.
I just used Netflix on my PS4 today without any problems. I used to use it on the PS3 as well. I don't own any blu-rays so I can't speak on that front, but no complaints about Netflix.
Quite honestly, I still have my Xbox 360 and I pretty much just use that for Netflix
I can't understand why
anyone would use a 360 for Netflix if they're not really a gamer. To use it, you have to be subscribed to Xbox Live, which nowadays is about $35/yr. It's not breaking the bank, but it's still ridiculous to pay it when you're not using Live for anything else.
There are much cheaper options out there now, like a Chromecast (as you said) or a Roku. Hell, even a Wii, if you've got one laying around, works.
I bought the original Xbox and Xbox360 "core" version on launch day. The only Xbox360 I could score was the "no hard drive" "core" version. I still have that version, but it's been replaced twice by the RRoD under warranty. I had to buy a separate hard drive (10G I think) for it eventually which was something like 100 USD at the time. I refuse to upgrade it to a 120G drive with the xBox One right around the corner.
But I've been too busy to play the last few months. I'll probably wait to see if there are any games that'll knock my socks off first.
Luckily, with the PS4, you can put any standard laptop-sized hard drive in there. Easy to upgrade your storage space or deal with hard drive failure!
Resogun is really amazing, quite a lot of fun even if it's a simple concept. I'm enjoying the atmosphere of Contrast so far, I'm afraid I may have overhyped myself for it, but then, I'm not very far into it yet. Tried Warframe for a few minutes and really disliked it.
If anyone wants to add me on the PSN, my ID is mistypants.
