Could get both consoles, but what's the point? seems like a waste of £400 to me. And I don't wanna buy each game twice.

Playstation 4 so far bounce

Will there be a workable solution to the Fanatec wheel. Even though I can afford to buy another for the ONE, it just seems wrong that I have to buy another wheel.

Why would you have to buy each game twice? scratch

They're exactly the same on each console

Some people saying that the 'Sport' league could be Long Beach (makes sense with the IRL deal) and the Grand Touring league could possibly be New York (I loved that track )

I'll share this with you.

Look CLOSELY at the racing bubble, which corner do you see? (hint hint, it's a French Name)

Long awaited!

I think Tom who runs the downloads and patches said they may have a form of software for it but its not confirmed. Sad

So, if I'm just gonna get games console X then what is the point getting console Y? Basically, if I have both, and buy most games for Ps4, then what's the point of getting the One?

It comes down to the games at the end of the day, specifically on this site our interests are motor racing so its GT v Forza. For me its no contest as I can't stand the way GT handles so its a moot point in my case. Not saying my preference is the right one and it may be different for others but that is what you should base your decision on, the games.

ps thats if your not Mr Millions Razz

with his secret base in the North Atlantic and can afford both.

REJOICE, WE HAVE BEEN HEARD Smile

Microsoft removes Xbox One’s 24hr Internet check-in and Game Reselling restrictions
Posted by Jon Witcombe
June 19, 2013

In what will be considered one of the biggest u-turns in electronics history, Microsoft has today announced that they will be removing some of the restrictions that have soured gamers towards Microsoft’s incoming Xbox One console.
Last week’s E3 gaming event in Los Angeles revealed many things but the biggest issue was the lack of DRM and always online connectivity requirements for the Sony PlayStation 4, which was the complete opposite to the previously announced Xbox One and thus placed Sony’s incoming console in a much better position and light with fans.

Microsoft however has heard the outcrys of fans and in a statement made on the official Xbox Wire News site, MS has announced that it will be dropping some of the controversial aspects of the Xbox One.
In the statement Microsoft says:
“The following changes to Xbox One and how you can play, share, lend, and resell your games exactly as you do today on Xbox 360. Here is what that means:
“An internet connection will not be required to play offline Xbox One games – After a one-time system set-up with a new Xbox One, you can play any disc based game without ever connecting online again. There is no 24 hour connection requirement and you can take your Xbox One anywhere you want and play your games, just like on Xbox 360.”
“Trade-in, lend, resell, gift, and rent disc based games just like you do today – There will be no limitations to using and sharing games, it will work just as it does today on Xbox 360.”
“In addition to buying a disc from a retailer, you can also download games from Xbox Live on day of release. If you choose to download your games, you will be able to play them offline just like you do today. Xbox One games will be playable on any Xbox One console — there will be no regional restrictions.”
Which basically means that gamers will no longer need to connect to the internet once every 24 hours to play a single player game, in fact they wont need to connect at all after the game has been installed. Gamers will also be able to re-sell any of these games that they purchase as well as use a purchased game on a friend’s or other consoles!
Microsoft has said that the changes have come from the feedback of the Xbox fans (and possibly the gloating of Sony fans too) and Don Mattrick, President of Interactive Entertainment Business, who announced the changes also stated “[Microsoft] would like to take the opportunity today to thank you for your assistance in helping us to reshape the future of Xbox One”
This is absolutely amazing news for Xbox fans and could possibly sway people back to the Xbox One as so many gamers have been shocked by the strong DRM measures Microsoft was looking at implementing.
