III season is here in Southern California it's like steppin tradeshow close by and I'm really excited for this year's show because I'm actually looking to get a new console i sat out buying one last year I wanted to see what public Scorpio was going to end up being I moved the past few months I bought my first 4k TV so I was really paying close attention to which one was going to be right for me and I start doing research on which one I wanted to buy as I watched so need to Microsoft keynotes I realized that maybe I'm not alone maybe you guys want to buy a new console - I'm not really a hardcore gamer I casually like to play games I use my console a lot for media streaming so maybe you're like me maybe you're more hardcore gaming but either way this I made my decision for which console to buy let me run through everything so price determining factor ps4 Pro it's 399 you can walk into a store right now pick one up put in your bag go home start playing tonight or or maybe like an hour from now depending on where you live I don't know product scorpio is now called Xbox one x-x-x bunks gonna set you back just shy a $500 which was I believe the original Xbox one launch price but I won't be available until November so you got to wait and even then I'll probably be in short supply you're gonna have to fight some fights and parents for Christmas gift it's not gonna be available until later on the year which is a big thing it's not a game now November is very far away I know for a lot of you guys game exclusives are the big determining factor for which console you buy you don't care which one it is long it's got the games you want of course both offer the typical cross-platform things like Madden NBA 2k Call of Duty battlefield so a ton of exclusives especially on the Sony side it's a ps4 Pro was announced last year we've spent a lot of time there keynote focusing on games they also announced some exclusives earlier in the year you got things like des stranding got a Ford Gran Turismo Last of Us is a privately badass looking spider-man game and new DLC for Uncharted Microsoft's less exclusive games at least right now things like for the crackdown in a new state of decay of course other games like new Halo presumably coming Halo Wars - and I loved original Halo Wars I think I might have been the only one but those sort of Microsoft staples of course will be there as well so both our offer of course arcade gaming and HDR support the xbox 1x the ps4 beat though in most of the spec department specially raw spectra kind of guess you would expect because it's almost a year newer both consoles feature octa-core processor the Xbox one is clocked a little bit higher at 2.3 vs 2.1 on the ps4 pro nominal but it is there so it comes to membrane that's a big deal for games on it certainly now but sort of later on in the compost life span the Xbox one 1x has 12 gigs of DDR 5 the ps4 pro has 8 gigs of that same ddr5 both consoles shipped at least right now with one terabyte of internal storage but if you just plug in a lot of external hard drive options expand that if you need so physical media I don't know where you guys fall on it whether it's dead to you where you still collect them I've got some older blu-rays my wedding movies on blu-ray so I like to have it but it's not a deciding factor and so Sara Lee but oddly the ps4 pro can't support any of the new generation blu-ray so the 4k and HDR blu-ray will not play on the ps4 pro even though Sony is one of the heads of the blu-ray consortium the Xbox one X in their hands can play any blu-ray you can find put it in 4k gr and it'll play so that may factor into your decision so if you're coming from a legacy console you've got a Xbox 360 or ps3 or older backwards compatibility might be something you want to consider so putting a physical disk in the ps4 Pro from any other generation console is not going to work Xbox 1x different story support some Xbox 360 games even going to support our original Xbox games that list should be growing but you don't know the full list right now so we are interesting one to talk about maybe your team sells bar I think VR is the future or maybe you're like Richard Hendricks you think it's a fad I'm not sure where you guys are on that but a VR is what you guys are looking for but edition floor is going to be your only choice it offers a really well-rounded VR experience games are already available it works well it's pretty immersive and you can pick it up today we know Microsoft's going to do for VR assumably it'll be something but as of right now they don't have anything and not an option what I want to get to a conclusion take its way decided because I'm I'm excited so the Xbox one X certainly works done so 100 bucks is not anything to scoff at like I said on bit more of a casual gamer than a hardcore gamer most of what I use my console stores as a media streamer so I like the ability to play any type of blu-ray so that it's active by 4k blu-rays or not in the Xbox one I also have a lot of Xbox one accessories from my original Xbox want to use those same controllers with it fact I prefer the way the controller feels of the Xbox one and now the Xbox one X so for me I'm going to wait I'm gonna wait until November I'm going to pick up an Xbox one X and be pretty damn excited about it what do you guys think maybe I'm in minority of sort of being a casual gamer announcer as hardcore I know maybe you guys are PC master-race I want to know tell me why hope you guys enjoy a three coverage I love this time of year just fun sort of season your stuff coming out it makes me happy and I enjoy it anyway again comment down below if you guys enjoy to III coverage I'm John reading your TechnoBuffalo
