[QUOTE="MadScience2006, post: 65646, member: 1356"] I've no intentions on picking up the PS4. Word is that the successor to the Xbox will have a requirement for a persistent internet connection (true or not, it remains to be seen) to use. I will refuse anything to do with this requirement & I have a suspicion that if Microsoft does this, Sony may indeed follow suit. Of course this remains to be seen... That being said, I got my PS3 60GB (fat) maybe one year or so after launch and it's still going strong. I do yearly maintenance on it by replacing the thermal paste on the cooled chips and cleaning out dust and the fan. I also have a PS3 Slim 120GB as well (again, a year or so after launch). I'm NOT an early adopter and likely never will be. I've done all my early adoption on the PC side since the early 80's and the Atari 800 and Apple IIe computers. I don't spend anywhere near the money I used to on these things and the PS4 holds nothing advantageous for myself, personally...especially if they follow Xbox with a persistent internet requirement.
