Playstation 4: What’s In The Box

According to Amazon the new PlayStation 4 is in the number two position for consoles at least for their pre-order sales. Today we are looking at what comes in the box for your new PlayStation 4. Apparently PlayStation doesn’t know the difference between an Earbud and headset. Amazon has listed 27 games for PlayStation 4, that will hopefully be released on the same day, or shortly thereafter. Unfortunately you will not get any special achievements or extra swag if you pre-order, as opposed to the Xbox One where you get “The Xbox One “Day One Edition” console includes a commemorative controller, token code to unlock an exclusive Day One achievement, and premium packaging at no additional cost.” Xbox also has 27 games listed.

Will you be pre-ordering an Xbox One or a PlayStation 4 and who do you think will win the battle of the consoles?
