    Okay, so I have a ps4 and a good few games and it gets a fair bit of use. Looking forward to the likes of Unchartered 4 etc. I've seen the videos etc. for Quantum Break and it go me thinking. I was fairly close to buying an Xbox One yesterday but I'm still trying to make up my mind. Are there enough exclusives on the Xbone to warrant buying it? Solely as a games console, no media playing or anything else etc.

    Thanks

    Pretty good value for money at the moment. The free games with gold have been very good the last couple of months. The list of backwards compatible games is growing all the time also. An EA Access sub is only 25 euro for the year too and gets you the following:
    • Battlefield 4
    • Battlefield Hardline
    • Dead Space
    • Dragon Age: Inquisition
    • EA Sports UFC
    • FIFA 14
    • FIFA 15
    • Madden NFL 15
    • Madden NFL 25
    • Madden NFL 16
    • NBA Live 15
    • Need for Speed: Rivals
    • NHL 15
    • NHL 16
    • Peggle 2
    • Plants vs. Zombies
    • Plants vs. Zombies: Garden Warfare
    • Titanfall (DLC is free for this too).

    As for exclusives, it depends what you like. The Forza games and Halo would be the best of the bunch at the moment. There's also the second Tomb Raider game (that will be on PS4 at the end of the year though). There's another Gears of War coming out soonish. There's a few unknown quantities like Scalebound and ReCore that look like they could be good too. I've no idea if Quantum Break will be worth buying the console for though.

    Thanks for that, it was Quantum Break that got me thinking, then started looking at Forza and Halo. Have Tomb Raider: The Definitive Edition on PS4 and really like the look of the one on Xbox even though it is coming out on Ps4 but as you said not until the end of the year. I think I'm just trying to convince myself ☺️

    Saying all that I've Metal Gear to get through and just bought GTAV having not played it so it's not as if I don't have enough to keep me going!!

    There's a few PC ports that aren't on PS4 that are also well worth checking out. The Long Dark and Elite Dangerous are both great and there's also ARK.

    Sunset Overdrive is another very good game and will be free on Games for Gold in a few days.
