Pretty unimpressed with the current console 'thing' with games being nothing more than tech demos and so expensive and the only real next gen is PC. I was hyped for Destiny but after playing the beta for so long I thought I could see myself becoming bored in a few days.

So I reckon its better to sell now whilst its still profitable.

I don't blame you. My PS4 would be gathering dust right now if my wife didn't use it for Netflix.

But what are you playing on PC that's "real next gen"? I haven't played anything on any platform yet that truly strikes me as "next gen". Just curious, not being snarky.


I refuse to buy a flight sim that I have no interest in playing, on the off chance that MAYBE someday they'll make the one I really want to play.

I don't really like the term next gen, but its used for consoles and they really aren't. PC's are because their hardware evolves constantly so we can upgrade easily.

I'm hoping October will see my PS4 playtime picking up. But I hear you. Nothing is really available yet that justifies all the excitement for the new consoles and I'm getting bothered seeing already released PC games being re-released for these consoles. I didn't get a PS4 to play games I already had. If they don't pay back us PS4 customers in spades in the coming months its been a great disservice the way they've gone about it this far.

If it continues I can only hope its temporary and that new material will be streaming in that'll have us saying when we pop those discs in "ah, now that's what I've been waiting for"!

Something in the back of head keeps saying 'keep it, you'll regret selling'....

My Destiny preorder still stands so I may just wait a while and see how I feel smile

Is that Gran Tourismo? I hate it, got the latest one with the PS3 I had and it is terrible, sold it immediately.

That is literally the only thing that makes me want to buy a PS4. I'll give you 100 bucks for it as long as it comes with your preorder of Destiny! smile

Only if you allow me to pay shipping or the deals off!

No, this is unacceptable! Good luck finding a buyer with stipulation like that!

Neither Next Gen Console appeals to me,

They are simply put a neutered version of what I already have in my Gaming Room.

I just want Forza for PC. I would even accept the older versions like 3 and 4.

I have a PS Vita besides my gaming rig. I'm waiting for some good exclusives for the PS4 (look there is none now), then I'll buy one just for use with remote play.

I had considered getting myself a PS4 as a graduation present to myself after finishing my master's degree. I just started school, so there might be a few things I want by that time. Now I'm kinda rethinking it and maybe putting that money into a new video card or something.
