I go back to setting up our ATARI 2600 for my family. Retired now, so is my PS3, and stepping up to PS4 because our great-grandson wants to share games with me. Not to proud to make sure I do things correctly. Thanks to poster of this video.

Thank You for your Directions

[@Haikel98]

Need some opinion here... PS4 or XBOX ONE? My ideology, PS4: (+)Most of my friends own a PS4 and it would be great to play multiplayer with them (-)Doesn't have the games which you could only play on the XB1 like Forza 6 etc. {I'm a hugs fan of racing} XB1: (+)has all the games which not all the PS4 has... (-)no friends whom I can play multiplayer with also, I've heard that the PS4 is slightly better in graphics compared to the XB1 so that may even be a plus point to the PS4.

[@LunchableMeatloaf]

+Shake Haikel As someone who has both I very rarely find myself using the XB1. The PS4 just has a better user experience, everything is just so much smoother to me. Install times are quicker, downloads are easier to manage, and it's just more user friendly in general. And it is ever so slightly better graphics wise. Just my opinion.

[@kapilbusawah7169]

DriveClub, Project Cars (disgard that actually) , Soon Gran Turismo Sport (equivalent of Forza) , Moto GP, NFS 2015, F1 2015 and Soon Asseto Corsa That's quite a busy list there for racing alone . That's actually about the same quantity as X1 so there is no lack of numbered racing titles

[@brscic]

+Shake Haikel Pretty easy : PS4,.. Has Bloodborne,.. It is also a better machine overall,.. and will have support from every publisher long into generation

[@AbdElWadoudIkhlef]

+Shake Haikel always buy the console ur friends use! if u buy X1 then want to play some COD or Battlefront with ur friends ur out of luck.. if u don't care about multiplayer then buy the console with ur type of exclusives!

[@loveconquersall143]

Are you talking about on the controller? If so, the select button is usually the 'X' 😉 My partner was a lot younger than me and he taught me that before he died (recently). Bless him. I hope this helped 🙏
