Pleasantly surprised but the noise

Above all, I had previously Xbox One and sincerely there was nothing to complain but it is mainly used to the Microsoft consoles and being interested in some exclusive I have taken the plunge.

I am pleasantly surprised by the PS4 on all points except two

First big negative, it is noisy!

I read everywhere that it is silent ... but it is noisy in some ...

In the end hard to say if this is normal or not but when in doubt I'll opt for a trade and take another pack. Anyway if this is really his operating noise I find it annoying because I feel like a flashback to the time of the Xbox 360 in its first series. After the worst part about it is being able to face the future in times of high heat or even its reliability over the long term. To recap the guarantee is only a year, the competitor is two years and they send a new one against a deposit in case of problems.

In comparison I also have a PC gamer air cooling but is thought to be silent even in the game most of the time. If I have to make a more neutral compared with its competitor Direct, there is no photo, xbox one is really quiet regardless of the circumstances, the most annoying noise on the transformer One is sizzling. After having had a PS3 Fat 80GB, it was also quieter as I read everywhere that the PS4 is logically quieter than PS3 Slim.

The console itself is more or less all that the One actually less messy, the game installation does not take ages three, you put the disc and after not even two minutes we just start playing with the facility that Continuous background. One on one can also do outside long wait before you can start a game it also has the impression that the installation does not advance as the updated game is added to the installation, shot if you have a bad connection installation is really endless.

I'll move to the second point that bothers me. In terms of ergonomics of the pad there is no picture, that of the One is just excellent with a very good battery life, however that the PS4 is also great, I can even say for the first time I can me Sony to make a pad even though the left stick is always placed in the same place. However side autonomy is not that at all, at all.

I see many people criticize the fact that it is battery in the competition but for me it's an advantage, we can invest in rechargeable batteries with high capacity, we never need a cable to connect to the console for some charging and you do not need to pass the pad sav or throw in the trash once the battery is HS.

I regret not at least have removable batteries.

The thing I like the pad of PS4 in comparison to that of the One, it is the material on the back that I find really nice in hand.

At first glance it appears mainly in the negative in my review but that is a very good console I recommend it. The games are interesting for few time but there are still a few, including Infamous Second Son who puts a first step towards the new generation.
