Now that both the XB1 and PS4 allow you do to their media apps(netflix, hulu, etc) without paying their monthly subscription I'm on the fence. I don't know if or how often I'll play online with anyone. Some people I know have XB and some PS. Rumors of slim XB1 and PS4 are circulating. maybe they'll coincide with a price drop and i'll pick one up at that time.
