Honestly, a simple 5-port gigabit switch would be cheap and well worth it for the speed benefits from wiring up your PS4.

Still nothing I would pre-order without getting a feel for its driving model and physics, I'm sure I'm not alone in being that decently picky with racers.

Yup. I skipped Forza Horizons for that reason. Im really hoping for something similar to iRacing for PS4. When everything is going well, it can be an almost perfect racing game.

I was the same way. Adding in the Pick system from Black Ops 2 drat near got my money right away. I do wonder how deep I will still be with Destiny when it hits though

Call of Tribes. The jetpack thing looks a bit awkward to fight with/against considering you need good aim for that sort of movement.

I had fun playing Ghosts at launch. Then I played the BF Hardline beta and remembered that I really don't like Battlefield, and thus came back to Ghosts. Had fun once again.
Will quite probably buy Advanced Warfare.

Advanced Warfare looks a bit too fast. It just seems so much to handle. Maybe I'm getting too used to TLOU MP.

It's slowly morphing into Unreal Tournament. Not a fan. I must be an old guy now for missing the old Modern Warfare 1 game. If anything all that jumping/jet packing around has done is just turn me off to it.

It honestly looks like Titanfall with more depth and the worst parts of Titanfall (the mechs and the bots) removed. Still not a fan of the pace of recent CoD games, Blops 1 had the perfect pace, and this looks no different.

This is exactly what I was going to say. It just looks so dumbed down but I guess it works because so many people want a mindless shootymans. I was skeptical on the UT comment but now feel it is dead on.

It makes me very sad that the giant robots from Titanfall are considered the worst part.

So they are aping the game that didn't sell nearly as well as expected and whose player base has already fallen off a cliff?

I like it and I think it looks like a blast. I'll rent it like I do all COD's. That said I do agree with the pacing issue. BO was a great experience and I wish the series would revisit the things it did right.

I didn't really care for Black Ops 2. It wasn't bad but it never clicked for me. I rented both at the same time and preferred the first.

Nothing to see here.
any recommendations for the best place to pick up a cheap PS4 system/bundle? I already got one of the rebated TigerDirect Gold headsets so I don't need one of those, just a system, controller, and maybe a bundled game or two if they aren't complete poo poo.
