Bought Game of Thrones

I was at Best Buy where I bought season 1 & 2 of Game of Thrones. I own the novel series. Do not believe any of those negative reviews. I honestly cannot understand why some reviewers have given this such a low rating. I think some people love the sound of their own voice and think their opinion is worth something and will be disagreeable simply for the sake of it. Having said that, this show is stunning. I have never read the books and now I want to. There is so much crap on TV that is renewed year after year (CSI, House etc.) which uses cheap gags, pointless and sometimes ridiculous plots, unbelievable and many times one dimensional characters and yet all the truly great shows get cancelled. There is enough brain-dead television. But once in a while a show comes along that transports you to another world and makes you believe in the magic of television again. Game of Thrones is one such show. It is complex, multi-layered, surreal, vibrant, imaginative and it draws your eye in to the surprising level of detail, from the sweeping vistas, to the narrow dungeons, from the beautiful castles and magnificent trees, to the contrasting landscapes. It is worth watching just for the scenery alone. Yes the acting seems a little cold and even wooden at times, but this is perfectly in keeping with the medieval look and feel of the show. Yes it is dark and gloomy, but again in keeping with the narrative. The scripting is intelligent and well delivered by competent acting, led by Sean Bean perfectly cast as Lord Edard. Although Sean Bean is better known for brooding bad guys, he strikes the perfect balance between father, husband and Lord and soldier. He is well supported by other well known actors and many new to the scene. After watching and sometimes enjoying Camelot, this show makes that one look more like "Merlin" by comparison. And where Camelot lacks in depth and scripting, Game of Thrones strikes the perfect balance between brooding medieval angst and wonderful fantasy story telling.

Loving offline mode and used games on PS4!

I love the Playstation 4, it will have a hard drive that will record everything as you play. It will be offline for anti-social gamers, and Sony undestands this. It will be reasonibly priced.   It won't have the rings of death. You can have a remote gameplay where a friend can unstuck you.   PS4 going to have Final Fantasy XV on it!  You can buy used games at a thrift store and play on any Playstation 4.  Games will be on blurays.

Xbox 720 will be always online which is a bad thing. It'll have three rings of death.  It may be less powerful.  The always online mode wil kill Xbox 720.  The always online MMORPGs like World of Warcraft and Diablo 3 only have a couple million playing online at any given time. Xbox 720 sales are going to be screwed unless Microsoft changes it to offline mode.

I love this controller. I love Dual Shock. I would love Dual Shock 3 for PS4, but this touch screen is a bonus.

I have seen Killzone: Shadow Fall and Destiny screenshots.  They look superb. I'd pay $500 for PS4 and Dual Shock 4 tomorrow.   Playstation 4 is TWO YEARS LATE!   I had my Radeon HD 5970 Black Edition (DirectX 11 GPU)  for over Three years.   CONSOLES ARE SUPPOSD TO HAVE 5 YEAR LIFESPANS, NOT OVER SEVEN YEAR LIFESPANS!
I hear on other [stupid] websites, how the games don't look good enough.   PS4 is over two years late, and the graphics are clearly better than a hypothetical PS4 released in 2010.  The reality is PS4 is late to market and nobody has the same amount of income as they did in 2010. It seems the longer Sony drags out PS4, the less games people buy.   The President Bush tax cuts have ended in 2012.  Nintendo was brilliant in seeing Bush tax cuts ending and releainsg Wii U before 2013.

Playstation 4 will have an offline mode unlike Xbox 720!
