@Tasuki Waveboy Sony is planning to put PS1/2 games on PS Now games, but I don't know of anything about downloading them.
Ah well. I'd personally rather just play them on my PS2 anyways hooked up to my other CRT TV. No Lag, No scaling and no motion doubling due to HDTV's not being able to display 30fps content properly. Then again, I could just hook my PS4 up to it and get the same results but that would be a big annoyance constantly switching from TV to TV.
It's still annoying though, because a retail copy of castlevania: Chronicles on the PS1 is going to run me $100 when the time comes. Even Mega Man Legends 1 & 2 have skyrocketed in price. Where as on the PSN it would run me, what? $5-10?
SOTN is $10 on PSN (most games PS1 games are $6, but some are $10). I haven't had any issues with it on my HDTV, it still looks good I'd say. I don't know about PS2 games since I haven't bought any on PSN, but I think they'd be better on PS3 than a PS2 on an HDTV.
I've had an Xbox One since last August, and aside from an occasional lockup that happens during a marathon gaming session, I can honestly say I've had no issues with the console at all. The games do take longer to install onto the harddrive than they do on PS4, I think for Halo MCC it took about 20 minutes before I could play but that's also because I wait until the game has fully installed. Once it reaches a certain percentage, I can't remember if it's 33% or 50%, you can start playing and it'll finish the install process in the background. Updates can sometimes take 10 minutes or so, depending on the file size, that doesn't happen often though. Also, if it ever turns out the console is running low on harddrive space, which can happen because some of these games are huge, it's simple enough to upgrade because it allows for external harddrives.
It's an excellent system. Granted I've been a fan of the Xbox since the days of the original but I'll also be honest if I feel I wasted money and that isn't the case here. I'd actually say across all 3 systems my favorite exclusive so far this gen is Forza Horizon 2. The first one on 360 was the best racing game that gen and this one kicks it up another notch, so if your sibling is into those games, can't go wrong there. There's also been a lot great post-release DLC including one very big expansion that adds even more to an already packed game.
Won't say anything about the issues you've ready about because people probably aren't lying, but just from my experience with the Xbox One so far. I couldn't recommend it highly enough.
Hey does anyone know Europe's games for gold for July?

I second, third, and fourth this. I bought it last week, so I'm kinda salty I could have gotten it 50% off if I waited a bit, but it's a great deal! It's great fighting game, the new characters are really well designed and unique too. With the two classic KI games too, it's a lot of content for the price. Everyone on the fence should get it.
@Retro_on_theGo: Yeah I was about to buy this last week after I got my Xbone but figured I'd wait until this sale and see if it would be a part of it. Seems like it is still worth it at $60 plus you get the 2 Killer classics!
To blessed to be stressed.
80's music makes me feel fabulous.

Yeah, I'm not that upset over it. Been having fun with it, definitely worth the cash!

Checking out the list, this sale is actually kind of disappointing for me. The only thing I want is Ori. I was really hoping Sunset Overdrive would go on sale.

Yeah, I agree with everything you say there. I'm just getting K.I. for now, are additional games going to be added?

I've heard the sale is 70 titles in all across Xbox One games and 360 games, so I'm expecting this to be it for now. It's confirmed there'll be some Xbox deals during Amazon's huge deal July 15th, though, so I'd keep my eyes peeled for that.
I'm glad Xbox 360 BC is going to be a thing. I KIND OF foolishly got rid of my Xbox 360, assuming the next Xbox would have BC to begin with, and it's finally going to happen, so my bet to get rid of the Xbox 360 ASAP, paid off in the long run.
@SCAR392: I don't like the way the people at Microsoft are implementing backwards compatibility though. Only 100 games at first will be playable. I'm sure that even at the end of the Xbox One's lifespan, not all 360 games will be playable on it. I could be wrong though.
Even though I have quite a few problems with the Wii U, I do like that it's completely 100% (to my knowledge) backwards compatible, no Internet connection required.
@TylerTheCreator:
I'm not really bothered. Most of the games I played on Xbox 360 were first party or exclusive, anyway, which are most likely all part of the BC program. I'll be getting all the Gears games back, Halo Reach, Banjo Kazooie and Tooie, Mass Effect, etc, and those were all games I could make out on the little announcement square in the Xbox One dashboard.
