Excellent and affordable TV Stand

Verified Purchase:Yes
This TV stand was very affordable and was made from surprisingly good quality materials. Metal and glass. No painted press board to be found. I had my PS4 in a cabinet style stand for a while and it kept overheating. On this type of stand, it gets plenty of airflow and never overheats anymore. Being open, it's harder to hide the wires. But, if you're looking for a nice looking, affordable TV stand with good airflow, you should consider this option.

The PS4 is a graphical powerhouse, able to deliver massive game worlds with impressive clarity and detail. 8GB of RAM allows for serious multitasking potential, complementing the great apps and features that make up the PS4 experience.The PlayStation brand of consoles has an impressive history of delivering world-class exclusive games, and the trend is sure to continue with the PS4. The growing blockbuster catalog is backed by a library of free-to-play and indie games, giving you flexibility in how you pay and play.The PS4 also acts as a social hub, with several built-in features that take advantage of the social networks you're already using. The controller's Share button opens up a world of video sharing, with the option to stream your gameplay live or record it to edit and post later.PlayStation Vita owners will enjoy the connectivity that ties the two devices together, from Remote Play, which allows you to play your PS4 games on your Vita's screen over a local Wi-Fi network, to Cross-Buy, which allows you to purchase a game digitally only once and play it on both your PS4 and your Vita.All PS4 consoles will need a firmware update and must be connected to the Internet to complete the update. While your console will not always need to be connected to the Internet, a one-time connection is required for the update.Online multiplayer requires a paid PlayStation Plus membership. Some features require a broadband Internet connection; ISP fees apply.PS3 games, controllers and some accessories are not compatible with the PS4.

Excellent System but somewhat loud fan
on November 24, 2013
Posted by: avsreaper
from Raleigh, NC
I purchased an Xbox One and a PS4 at launch and have been comparing them for the past few days. The PS4 is much louder than the Xbox One fan. This is not much of a surprise to me given that the case is smaller, the power supply is internal, the PS4 is more powerful and has less ventilation. I prefer the XBO case design given its near silence.
PSN went down right at launch. They couldn't handle the load of everyone logging in and getting the day 1 patch at the same time. Xbox Live did not go down and is running smoothly. This shows a more mature support structure beyond the box in your house for MS.
The controllers are both great. I like the general feel of the XBO controller better but the bumpers on the PS4 are easier to reach. The touch pad doesn't work well in AC4. I hope that is software and not the touchpad but I am not sure.
The interface on the XBO is better organized and more futuristic. I like it better.
But what this all comes down to is the games. The extra hardware power under the hood for PS4 gives the games the graphical advantage. They run more smoothly and look more detailed. AC4 and Resogun are fantastic games!
On the xbox, I expect XBL to be the more stable and advanced service offering dedicated servers and more up-time as well. So, I think the XBO may be the better system for multiplayer.
I think they are both fantastic systems. I think I give the XBO an edge in online support. And I give the PS4 an edge in game fidelity. If you're more into multiplayer games, XBL will probably support that habit more. If you're more into single player games, PS4 will probably support that habit better. However, I don't think either choice is bad. I feel blessed to be able to have both.

As the lean, green second string, Luigi has rarely been one to take the lead. But it's time for Luigi to get out of Mario's shadow — and head into the shadows and winding halls of some very spooky mansions. With the help of his trusty Poltergust 5000 ghost-sucking vacuum cleaner, the nervous and reluctant Luigi will have to face his fears to remove the stubborn specters from the mansions and collect some treasure along the way.Luigi's Mansion: Dark Moon is the fun-filled follow-up to the Nintendo GameCube's original game, Luigi's Mansion. The mansions are full of a wide variety of ghosts, hidden areas, secret treasure and more. Rendered in stunning 3D, the mansions, ghosts and surroundings come to life like never before. Suck wallpaper off the walls with the Poltergust 5000 to reveal hidden areas, clean up piles of leaves that may be concealing hidden treasure and collect stacks of coins and bills for a nice reward. Use a new strobe function to stun the ghosts before sucking them up. Bury your fears, take a deep breath and get ready to encounter some very scary spooks.

This is a great game that incorporates some nice replay value. The levels are well designed, the puzzles are cool and I love how the environment shakes and rattles with your sweeper or other tools. Levels can be replayed for faster times. The game reminds me of the first LM on the GameCube while also adding great graphics and gameplay to come up with something fresh and fun and new.

Great gaming system with a nice library of games

I'm a big gamer and own many systems but I held out buying the original 3DS. The 3D sweet spot seemed small, the battery life seemed low, the ergonomics were not great and the game selection was not enticing. But now that the 3DS XL is out, it solves all of those problems while the library of games has grown to include great titles like Super Mario 3D Land and Luigi's Mansion 2. it's a great time to buy a 3DS XL and this blue unit is really attractive.

An addictive open-world game
on June 7, 2010
Posted by: avsreaper
from Raleigh, NC
Red Dead Redemption may very well be the game of the year. It incorporates many of the familiar gameplay mechanics from the GTA series but in an entirely new setting and with entirely new characters. To me, the world seems more alive and more exciting to explore than a GTA game. You can enter the majority of buildings. Wildlife is abundant on the open plains, and random events occur in the world which you can interact with to increase your honor. It's refreshing to play a good character in a GTA game for once and this easily replaces GTA as the best game R* has ever created. Story telling is fun and interesting, horses look real, landscape is huge and realistic. If you like open world games, this is the one to get. Beware the M rating and foul language and content. But it's actually not too bad.. or I'm becoming desensitized, one of the two.
What's great about it: Beautiful graphics, animation and voice acting. Great missions.
What's not so great: NIght doesn't look as good as daytime. You cannot swim.
