The PS4 will be I think. From what I’ve read, and maybe this has changed, the Xbox One will have enough supply to meet demand, but the PS4 will not. So my guess is, PS4 will be on Ebay for $700+ come Christmas. [/quote]

Is it bad I will probably sell the first one I get for that very reason?[/quote]

Nope, that’s capitalism at work my friend.

Really, if you can get your hands on 2 you’ll probably be able to at least break even. I don’t think people are going to make hundreds/thousands like when the Wii/PS3/360 came out though. [/quote]

I plan on going to a midnight launch, getting one and then waiting come 20-24th X Mas to see what the market and demand is like and if it’s good I will sell it if not just keep it.

Selling it wouldn’t be a great loss cause I will have numerous of PS3 titles to still play and if the mark up is shit I will just keep it and have the PS4 I want![/quote]

Nice! I think you’ll be able to make a few bucks at least. I should have one the 3rd week of November and no way am I waiting.

You’ve already beasted Diablo 3 and GTA though and I have to wait until the end of semester to play them, makes waiting for the ps4 much easier.

True. The joys of post grad life :wink: although I’m in a Grad program, but have been on hiatus for a while now.

I’m thinking about getting Batman since the PS4 is still almost 2 months away.

Has anyone heard if it’ll be on PS4?

The program is called “Accounting and Business Advisory Services”

It’s basically 5 or so accounting classes with some finance and IT classes thrown in.

Super fun stuff, I know.

Increase my annual salary, hopefully :wink:

It’s really just a more indepth study of accounting and other business functions. I’m a budget/financial analyst that also helps our Internal Audit department part time. The program should help me to better understand the departments I support from a technical perspective, especially IT.

In all honesty it’s a resume padder as well. Just like the MBA I’m also playing on getting.

Edit:

For example, I’m flying to Chicago next week to help with an audit of one of our distributer’s processes. At some point I’ll be taking a course in advanced assurance services, which in theory would increase my value on these types of audits.

As far as I can see it wont be, thus making it a must buy for current gen!

Has anyone seen the videos for Tom Clancy’s The Division? It looks scary good.

Are there new ones? I’ve only seen the E3(?) one.

I’m not sure. My buddy told me about it yesterday and that’s the first I’d heard of it. Graphics look insane and the cross play on a tablet sounds pretty cool.

Just wanted to let anybody that was on the fence about preordering any of the next gen consoles like I was that you can still find some preorders for launch day, though you will have to look. I finally decided this previous weekend to get one of each, and found a couple left. I decided to get one Xbone and 2 PS4s to resell one.

For those that have preordered the already, what games are you starting with? I think I’m going with Watch Dogs and Dead Rising myself.

Right off the bat I’m getting Killzone & BF4. I’ll probably ask for AC4 for Christmas. I also pre-ordered destiny, but that doesn’t release until next June or July I think.

I’ve got Watch Dogs already pre-ordered.

I plan to get BF4, Killzone, and AC4, but that is contigent on reviews at around that time. Fortunately, BF4 and AC4 release early on consoles, so I can get an idea of how the gameplay is.

Also, I’m really excited for some of the indie/downloadable games coming. Resogun looks freaking awesome, and since I can’t get Forza 5, and was never really a big Gran Turismo fan, I was planning to try out Driveclub since it’s free-to-play, and go ahead and purchase it if I like it.

Man, November 20th can’t come soon enough for me.

I haven’t been this excited for a console since the PS2.

Currently replaying Killzone 3, forgot how good the Multiplayer was. More inclined to get shadow fall now.

Story is lame though.
