I figured that was how it would be read, should have gone back to reword it.

Yea, I had heard she was a serious couponer. My gf started it in college so she could be poor and still get name brand products. She enjoyed doing it and I like finding the deals too now. We don't do any "extreme cheapskates" type shit. We just get our hygienic products for free (Right Guard, Gillete, Crest, Herbal Essences, Clean & Clear, Febreeze, etc). Most of the overpriced big brands have rotating mega deals if you setup a good combo between coupons and in store offers and discounted gift cards.

xbox ps2 < xbox360 ps3 <? xboxone ps4

Unreasonable to expect the same amount of progress as with the last next gen shift.
Were people actually expecting an equally vast improvement?
The focus now is still on refining the same approach to rendering.
And there was a lot of room for refinement 8 years ago, CPU and GPU wise. But now, not so much, anymore.

Worth noting that PSN still on top with almost double the users because of cross platforming and that obviously Xlive has a price point or it's useless. Shame really cos Xlive is probably the most effective at what it does out of all of them.

Media server routes for the game systems. External drives are for poors.

Be nice to have the option, for a media device instead of having to jump through Sony bullshit. They have to convert to Atrac3 or someshit ? :smirk:

Currently using "mymedia" or some shit. Its pretty brainless for setup and depending on how baller of a network you have its pretty awesome.

What he is getting at is that PS4 has torn out support for DLNA. It won't matter what media server you use. They aren't supported.

Whaaaaaat. Well then fuck. Thats some bummer shit there :(

I'll still end up with both again but man thats boners. Then again I have had to switch to my 360 more often due to that fancy audio matching anti piracy bullshit. :(

Aye !, Sony always try to pull shit though it's to be expected. Their bullshit with the micro SD cards is a pisstake. Remember buying an mp3 mini disc player that wasn't even an mp3 player n all.

The 360 wouldn't support anything but wmv on release though ?, to be fair.

Memory was a little fuzzy, that is possibly what I was remembering having to convert most of my media into WMV :up:

I *think* you could stream them off media centre n all ?

Lol, PS4 etc.

Weird thing to happen because the PS3 is much better at streaming than the 360. It's the only reason I still have one, that and a BD player.

Well I know a few customers they lost because of that. Few of my mates barely use the ps3 for games so will just stick with that now.

I don't bother asking why they're upgrading it's like asking why did you get the new iPhone ?
