So I currently only have a XBOX360 and I have £98 of boosted Tesco vouchers to redeem before the boost ends on the 26th June.

Always been in the XBOX camp for console gaming but this is the dilemma..... I want to buy a new console using the £98 I have from the boosted vouchers and presently Tesco direct is not showing the XBOX ONE S. If it was and it was on a clubcard boost then I would be snapping their hands off for a 2TB version at £350 minus the £98.

After phoning Tesco, there is no outlook on when they might start allowing pre-orders for the XBOX One S and it might not be a clubcard boosted item.

Quite like the look of the 1TB Forza Special edition Xbox One in blue for £279 but then I thought about the PS4 especially because VR is something I would like to get in to.

So the choices:-
1) Hang fire for a Xbox One S and hope it's on there before 26th June
2) Buy the Xbox One 1TB Forza Special Edition in Blue for what is effectively £182
3) Buy a PS4 1TB for what would effectively be £221 in anticipation of Playstation VR
4) Buy something else with the vouchers

Finding it hard to justify plumping for the old Xbox One given a new one is due in 2 months.............

What would you do and why?

 

PS4

Buy a bog standard 500gb PS4,

Whip off the side cover and drop a 2 or 4tb hard drive in ...

voila, a 4tb PS4, all legit

Xbox,

But a 2TB USB 3.0 HD and plug it in ...

Tada, a 2 TB Xbox one...


Dont get fleeced for 4K, all your going to get is the same games over and over again ........

Won't the 4K for the output on the Xbox one s just be for the TVs apps as I don't think the console would of evolved enough for 4K gaming?

 

Thanks guys that's given me a whole different perspective on it now!

 

They're not updating the Xbox it to be able to play games at 4K. It can barely do 1080p. I assume they're putting in another chip to handle 4k video/TV.
I have a day one Xbox One. I was happy with it in the main, but I have been thinking I want the PS4 for Uncharted 4 etc. I'm happy to wait for the PS4 Neo though.

 

I have both,

Resolution aside,, ( only noticable if you have a 1080 tv lol ) there pretty much the same.

Both have unique USP's, i prefer the achievement system on the Xbox over PS4, but prefer spotify on the 4 as opposed to MS's music

I only bought the PS4 for the order 1886, that said the uncharted collection looks good.

& ICO is playable on it too

 

I hardly touch my PS3 but would have a 4 in a heart beat for the next GTA or GT. Battlefield 1 looks good. I've fallen straight out of love with the CoD series as all the futuristic weapons just don't float my boat!

 

The S will be able to display native 4K content in respect of TV/Movie software. The key selling point is the fact the S contains a UHD Bluray drive. The S can also utilise HDR, although you'll need a 4K HDR display to see this benefit. This will enhance games written with HDR, but the games will only be upscaled to 4K.

If you're in the game of buying a new XBOX get the S. If you have a XBOX already the benefits are minimal, especially if you're not using a 4K display.

 

Rumours of a PS4K being on the shelves by the end of the year with Uncharted 4K being the release game.

Might also be worth a look if you can wait

 

I was thinking of upgrading to the XBOX ONE S, only reason i have suck with xbox was i had a membership running, prefer the controller layout.
