The PS4 is a graphical powerhouse, able to deliver massive game worlds with impressive clarity and detail. 8GB of RAM allows for serious multitasking potential, complementing the great apps and features that make up the PS4 experience.The PlayStation brand of consoles has an impressive history of delivering world-class exclusive games, and the trend is sure to continue with the PS4. The growing blockbuster catalog is backed by a library of free-to-play and indie games, giving you flexibility in how you pay and play.The PS4 also acts as a social hub, with several built-in features that take advantage of the social networks you're already using. The controller's Share button opens up a world of video sharing, with the option to stream your gameplay live or record it to edit and post later.PlayStation Vita owners will enjoy the connectivity that ties the two devices together, from Remote Play, which allows you to play your PS4 games on your Vita's screen over a local Wi-Fi network, to Cross-Buy, which allows you to purchase a game digitally only once and play it on both your PS4 and your Vita.All PS4 consoles will need a firmware update and must be connected to the Internet to complete the update. While your console will not always need to be connected to the Internet, a one-time connection is required for the update.Online multiplayer requires a paid PlayStation Plus membership. Some features require a broadband Internet connection; ISP fees apply.PS3 games, controllers and some accessories are not compatible with the PS4.

I'm a huge gamer and the release of this new console is just what the doctor ordered. more powerful hardware and graphical improvements have made this system a must have even for the "casul" gamer. only one problem...not a lot of games to play. of course this will change in due time with the release of many new titles including a few must have exclusives. throw in some quirky Japanese titles and the Sony Playstation 4 will surely please. a must buy.

Its powerful hardware delivers impressive graphics and detailed game worlds, plus it also offers an impressive lineup of video streaming apps to bring you movies, TV shows, sports and more in HD.The wireless controller was refined through hundreds of tests to emerge as Microsoft's most advanced controller to date.

Navigating the Xbox One's dynamic menus is simple and convenient; just swipe your hand, speak commands or use the included wireless controller.Advanced TV hardware required. Games, add-ons and media content sold separately. Initial setup and some games and features require broadband Internet; ISP fees apply.

does much more than just gaming. the integration of Skype, and countless other apps make this system intriguing. I personally like the ability to switch from TV to Netflix to games seamlessly with a voice command. a patch is needed for the blu ray/DVD player as there is some sync issues with the audio matching the video but I am told the update is on its way. the controller is nice as all xbox 360 owners will attest to with only one minor flaw for me, which are very stiff left right bumper buttons. this is a must have system for an xbox fanboy or just regular folk who want to play games and enjoy other nifty bells and whistles.....did I just use the word nifty? :)

I live on the first floor of my apartment. Which means that, my apartment is halfway underground. Will I be able to get good reception with this antenna?
You will get perfect reception. I have one connected to my tv in the basement of my house which is half way underground.

With preloaded maps, lifetime map updates and more than 10 million points of interest, you'll be able to travel where you want.
 

which is better, new vs. refurbished?

If possible, always buy new instead of a refurbished unit. The savings are not that great when comparing the two. Besides you never know what kind of life the merchandise had before you bought it and who doesn't like that fresh out of the box smell lol :)

You do need a separate antenna for each television as this is not a whole home system.
