£349 = $560 (ish)

@Matt - Yes, that is true, both console companies do it. But- its cheaper than the Xbox One, so my level of indignation is proportionately less :)
For me, its the combination of issues surrounding the xbox one - no retro-compatibility, regional restrictions, no 2nd hand games market, a "one-stop entertainment centre" approach that I do not want - I cannot ever imagine wanting to Skype whilst I am gaming, or watching a movie, for instance - and its slightly inferior technical specifications when compared to the PS4 mean that, for me at least, it is time for a change.
I still remain indignant at the extortion of UK and european customers though. regardless of which company does it :)

Seems that Microsoft have been scared at the response of gamers to some of the more restrictive ideas that the XBox 1 was offering, and various polls suggesting that the PS4 was far and away the favoured console pre-launch...
They have just released this statement, saying that a once every 24 hour connection was mandatory is no longer going to happen, and that the trade in 2nd hand games will be reinstated without the previous restrictions...

Internet connection was never an issue for me and too much was made of the DRM issue. This was never going to be enforced by Microsoft only the publishers/developers.
MS made a bit of a balls-up with their initial presentations as they haven't accentuated the positives. Now the DRM has been restored to as it was technically we never own the game so can't share with friends as was the intention. I don't know exactly how that was going to work but the game could have been shared with upto 10 people on your friends list so I assume they would have had free access via the cloud maybe.
Sony seem to have come out of this whiter than white as they did not make any intentions clear until after the massive negativity aimed at MS. Personally I think they wanted to do the same but once they knew the reaction did an about-turn and used it as a selling point. Everyone has forgotten that they attempted this exact thing with the PS3 i.e. every game would be locked to 1 console.
