if you are up for a bit of a gamble you may be able to get a ps vita for under $100
PS Vita w/3G & WiFi at TigerDirect.com

its got a $40 rebate there you should get no problem. Then theres another $20 rebate you may or may not get. If you have an AMEX card theres a $30 off $100 order from TigerDirect (i think you had to have signed up for it last week, dunno if its available now). Everything but the $20 rebate should be gold, so the price is gonna be between $95-115.

rebates are all saved here download em to your pc if you order this
PlayStation Vita $119(or $89 with Amex TD promo) after MIR @ Tigerdirect(+~$4 shipping) 12-11-2013 - Slickdeals.net

this is the current black OLED vita, not the new white LED vita coming out early next year in NA which has better battery life but possibly not as good screen and layout. I just got one because I signed up for the AMEX offer earlier, I have 2 years of PS+ now (for ps4) so may as well let the vita ride the free games, and maybe once in a while it'll be nice having remote play for ps4. Like playing Assassins Creed on the toilet.

to expound on the deal above can use the same things to basically get a 1TB 2.5" hybrid replacement ps4 drive for $70 from tigerdirect today
Seagate 1TB Solid State Hybrid Drive - 2.5 Form Factor, SATA III 6 Gb/s, 5400 RPM, 64MB Cache - ST1000LM014 at TigerDirect.com

$120 - $20 rebate - $30 amex; free s&h with shoprunner (amex card). seems like a good deal to stick in ps4 and double the storage and speed up load times a little bit. You could also buy a 240GB ssd for the same price, which is probably better heat wise but I'd rather be slightly slower and have 2x the storage.

I bought a 240 intel SSD on Amazon black friday for $85. I threw that in the PS4. I'm not a typical download gamer. I like to buy my games on physical medial. As a direct result, I won't mind deleting games from the hard drive when I'm done playing. As long as it maintains the save file (on the cloud or on a USB card), all is good as far as I'm concerned. Delete delete delete.

totally forgot about this game. I haven't seen anyone try that hard to get fire right since rtcw.

Though it's probably just some programmer who spent a lot of late nights getting the fire the way he wanted it.
This game was a pure abomination.

PS4 slightly ahead in what was a predicted onslaught? Yeah, I'm not letting this thread fail. You PS4ggots will live with your mistakes.

That article is so completely useless. It's just speculating on facts that are already known for the most part. The actual worthwhile numbers aren't there -- actual consoles sold for each system both in the US and globally. It's only partial or implicit information.

It is pointing out the number of ways those facts are being spun. Which was my point. And his conclusion is correct to. Games will determine if one shoots ahead of the other in the early part of 2014. NPD numbers will be out eventually.

Both consoles are doing very well. PS4 is slightly ahead but it's currently sold out everywhere in the US. You can look at the relative demand by looking at what resalers are getting for it. The XB1 is selling for under MSRP andthe PS4 is selling at $130 more than MSRP.

I don't know what onslaught means exactly but this is certainly not an onslaught.

Whatever happened to those production woes we kept being told were facts? Seems like the xbone is doing just fine.

PS4 hasn't even released in Japan yet. Just wait until the japs get their systems and all those glorious games from nippon start coming out in 2014/2015.

Game Over for the xbros.
