Side by Side Comparison of: Sony vs dreamGEAR

Got this for my son.And after using it for 2 years, it has become a fixture in our living room.It literally does EVERYTHING.And if you call Sony and tell them you tried to download a trial video game, but it messed up,They will GIVE YOU MULTIPLE FREE GAMEDOWNLOADS.Great customer service. Highly recommend.

I have been using this for years now and its still running as strong as the day I bought it. I literally play this every single day, for several hours and I couldn't be much happier with my purchase. This is the perfect bundle for someone like me. I prefer to have all my games digitally downloaded so receiving the digital download code made me very happy. In the box you have everything you need to get started except for internet. Which is kind of a given. When you open the box you are given the Power Cord, The HDMI Cord, The Controller Charger, The PlayStation Console, The Controller, and as previously mentioned the digital download code for Star Wars Battle Front. The only con I've came across with this console is the storage capacity, which can be changed out with the help of some videos on you tube. I would highly recommend this product it is a lot cheaper then purchasing the console and game separately.

I decided to upgrade the hard drive to 1TB before I downloaded any games in order to prevent future storage issues. It has been a perfect system. The organization of the home screen is better than the Xbox One's home screen. As a person who owns both the PS4 and the Xbox One, i'may offering a perspective that is not based off of youtube videos. The PS4 has extremely fast processing and never freezes on me. Rest mode for the PS4 is handy when I need to use the USB ports while having the system turned off. The built-in capture card is handy, but the quality is a little disappointing. Having Battlefront in this bundle is a real treat. I never knew this before I bought the system, but the controller has a motion sensor offering quick motion based typing instead of using the normal buttons for typing. The PS4 is smaller, lighter, and faster than the Xbox One. No matter what bundle you buy, this system is definitely recommended. Sony killed it in this generation of console and I hope they continue to satisfy us customers in the future as they have with the PS4.

ordered it for Christmas...first one was defective, so I sent it back to Amazon...very little hassle, and they quickly sent me a new one. "Battlefront" is a realistic Star Wars game...but it does not come with a game CD....you HAVE to download the free game from the internet onto the system...it literally took 3 days for it to download and install...I talked to a guy, and he said if you have wireless, you may want to plug the PS4 directly into the box...he assured me that the game would have loaded much faster....anyway...the game finally loaded...and my boys, ages 8 and 10 love it, as well as the PS4 itself. I also bought them Minecraft which is their favorite, as well as the Disney Infinity/Star Wars/Avengers starter sets. At first they didn't play with the Infinity too much...it seemed like they were always playing Minecraft or Battlefront...but lately I have noticed they have been playing the Infinity game a lot more. Very satisfied with the purchase...my kids love it, and I hate to admit it, but I do too....especially the Battlefront game...just don't tell my wife.

From streaming HD content to graphics-intensive gaming, I'm really enjoying the PS4. It's a big improvement to the PS3, even as popular as it was. The aesthetics are nice and remind me of Alienware (back before Dell got ahold of it) and the placement of the fans is on-point. The interface is easy to navigate and intuitive even for people who don't use gaming consoles often. I enjoy how they have integrated the controller's use more effectively into the PS4, the touch pad a clever feature that I use surprisingly often. The fact that you can download apps/updates and charge controllers in rest mode is AMAZING. And not having to worry about your game app closing... I just adore it. There is little to no buffer time transitioning between applications, which is handy for those of us that switch frequently between Destiny and HULU.Worth every penny!

I'll try and keep this review short and to the point.First, the PS4 is an amazing console. Games install, and download quickly(something that was a problem with the Xbox One), the graphics arenot high end PC graphics, but at the price, definitely worth it.The controller is a very comfortable controller and looks sharp.Secondly, Star Wars Battlefront.This game is a hotbed of controversy.It isn't what we asked for(SWBF2 but in HD), but for what it is, it does it's job.If you like Call of Duty, you will like this game.It's fast-paced and fun, but the gameplay isn't deep.The graphics are stunning and are the major selling point of the game.Sound is also very good, and blasters and the like sound as they should.Thirdly, the other games.The classic Star Wars games included are fun distractions, but nothing really meaningful.As a bundle, this is a great deal and worth it for new PS4 players.

One of the rest retro toys out there. My 8 yo loves it and all his friends think this is so cool. The machine works very well.

Lots of fun games to play. Screen is small but easy to see.

Great picture quality, surprising really. A good gift idea for a brother-in-law you don't know what to buy. ;)

Got this for my hubby...he liked it. Its on his desk at work.

its awesome yes small screen buttons do stick but its cheap and does have good clone games#1 1942#2 spy hunter#6 zaxxon#23 gforce#34 wack-a-mole#76 defender#79 load runner#89 centipede#93 mappy#96 digdug 2#110 xevious#125 battleship#127 arkanoid#130 space invaders#134 galaga#142 kaboomand thats just the ones i found so far so don't let the negative reviews stop you

I'm a PS3 user and this new console is a big step forward. Really interesting features, more speed, and graphics in a whole new level. I am very disappointed by the lack of backward compatibility. The game included, just amazing.

Graphics are amazing. It is the perfect system for one person play. It only came with one controller so I purchased a second. This replaced the Wii my 6 year old and I used to play together. The sadness comes from the fact that most games do not seem to offer 2 person play mode. If they do, it does not seem easy to figure out. This is supposed to be a bonding moment for my son sand I, not for me to sit and watch him. If I am mistaken please let me know. Love the graphics in the PS 4 and had a PS2 years ago, but am starting to wish Wii/Nintendo made a competent system that had great graphics but stayed with the nunchuck controller. This is beautiful but disappointing for 2 person play. The only option is to sign up for plastation plus at $50 a year for each account.where the PS allowed you to play two player and sign in to download games. It isn'T right.

The PS4 is a good system, useful as a blu-ray player, media center, and gaming console. Really, a review isn't going to sway you on the console, you'll know if you want it or not. There's no catches, it's sturdy, exactly what you expect if you've owned a PS3.The games are a different story. There are tons of different bundles for the PS4. This one includes a total of 5 games, all Star Wars related. I'm a Star Wars fan, but even I can admit not all of these games are great.Battlefront: It's the only game of the package originally designed for the PS4, and it shows. The graphics are beautiful. That said, single player is a joke, consisting of a small handful of skirmishes. To get any real play out of it, you'll need PS Plus to play online, which will set you back $50 a year. It's a good value, but something to think about. Personally, II even found the multiplayer mostly lacking, but I suppose it was enjoyable enough.Jedi Starfighter: Originally made for PS2, the graphics hold up OK, but nothing to write home about. The gameplay is fun, fast, and exhilarating. Very enjoyable, and personally I would chose this bundle for this game alone.Bounty Hunter: Also originally for PS2, graphics have held up as well as Starfighter's did. The story is fun, playing as Jango is a blast, very solid game.Racer's Revenge: Pod racing! Many would say this is the best thing to come out of Episode I. Great game.Super Star Wars: Originally for the Super Nintendo, the 2-D graphics take some getting used to. That said, the gameplay is solid, if still Nintendo Hard, even on easy mode. It's a challenge, and can be frustrating, but very fulfilling when you make progress,NB: All 5 games are digital downloads. You'll need to hook the system up to the internet (either wi-fi or wired) to be able to download them. Once downloaded all 4 remakes are totally offline, but battlefront will need internet for multiplayer.Also note that the bundle comes with one controller. For local multiplayer you'll need to purchase another one.

Picked this up for $350 on a Black Friday deal. I guess I wasn't aware that you have to pay to play on PS4's new online network, PlayStation®Plus. It's $50 for a year subscription, and I still haven't bought it yet. For offline games, the graphics are fantastic and I mainly bought the PS4 for when Kingdom Hearts 3 releases. I used up my 3-day free PlayStation®Plus trial, and I had a lot of fun playing Battlefront, but I'm just really disappointed that the PS network isn't free anymore.

I'm reviewing what I bought only. Not the future of the system's potential. Not banging on the battle drum of which console is going to win this gen's favor, which is like coke and pepsi if you ask me.I'm very happy with my purchase of this PS4 Bundle. I've been saving up for 2 years. I was a bit upset to see the price jump from $350 to $400 when I finally went to buy it, but I can't blame them. You get 5 games with this:PS4 BattlefieldN64 Pod RacerPS2 Space FighterPS2 Bubba Fett storySuper Nintendo Star WarsComments on the Console itself:-The options button is in a weird spot, it doesn't feel natural to hit it, and being that it took over the "Start" button this becomes a annoyance.-There is a light on the controller that you can't turn off,you can dim it but not turn it off completely.=It uses a Micro USB to charge, which feels like a flimsy, easy to bend spot, I figure it's designed well but I'm not sure why they didn't just go ahead and use a USB 3.0, it charges faster and is newer technology.-Cant give yourself a new PSN name+Uses the same wires as the 3, just encase you loose/break them.+Rest Mode, which is like a Standby for you to jump back into the same moment Hrs later. uses low electricity.Comments on the Main Game (you know the reason you bought this one):<Offline Experience Review->There are only 3 modes for the "Single" player:*Training- Fly a ship around for about 4 minutes, and the only time you get to pilot in Single Player.*Battle- Like Deathmatch but makes you collect tokens from the AiBot you just killed, first to 100 wins. It has a "Hero" selection where you get to play as an OP "Cameo" Character that doesn't let you go into 1st person mode because they had to pay those copyright fees and by golly are going to get the most of it.*Survival-The best mode IMO, last man alive feel. Hold out for 15 waves, occasional AT-ST that makes you feel pretty vulnerable, and the only solo replay value I see.+Graphics+really well done, the motions are fluid and look real, along with the textures and fabric, Faces are always odd but the first look at whats to come from Next Gen.-Install-After the 20GB download you have/get to play as Invulnerable Vader and take out "Rebel Scum" as the game installs. Neat feature but after about 30 mins I got bored, then when it hit the HR mark at 36% I got frustrated and found myself <SearchEngine>ing it to see some people got stuck in this purgatory for about 4hrs. Do yourself a favor and PUT YOUR SYSTEM IN REST MODE AS IT INSTALLS and it will shoot by in about 15 mins (don't quote me on that but it's way less) if nothing else then I hope you read that.-TheRocketLauncher- I'm sorry I mean "Torpedo", won't let you fire at anything other than Vehicles.The price you pay but gets you through survival.-Endor'sBrush- I wish you could hide in it and sniper off but instead you get a auto target plastered on your head like you are wearing a LightTower for a hat.All in all System **** (4 Stars)Game *** (3 Stars)Maybe If I could spend the $15/month to get online I would see more value, but for that price I'll just get GameFly with New Games starting at $60 just to be like this and 1886.

Bought this for my kids for Christmas, all I had heard for months now is they wanted a Playstation 4 with Battlefront. They loved it, the only bummer thing is it took almost all day to download the game into the system, thankfully they had something else to occupy their time while waiting to dive into the game. They are happy so I am happy.

Many useless games, but also some good ones. In summary for the price you get some OK games to play while taking a break in your office. Don't expect any real arcade hits in this one but also worth the price to kill some time.

Got it for my Son. Entertaining!

This machine is great! High quality construction, great price. I wish it would allow you to install real arcade games though. These are all home brew style. While they are entertaining, it's nothing like the real games. If they would come up with a version that accepts a memory card to play like MAME machines that would be perfect!Screen is nice and bright, with great resolution. The built in games will keep you entertained for many hours. Looks great sitting next to my collection of mini arcade games.For the price, you can't beat what you get. Great quality. I can't figure out how they sell it so cheap!

I have not opened this or tried it out yet as it will be a 'historical' gift for my son's birthday. He was born in 1985 and these kind of game were 'the boss' back then.

My husband loved it but needs directions for certain games...he'll give you five stars for some directions.

8 yr old very interested, however machine malfunctioned ,screen was cut in half vertically, cant play games any longer.......not cut with any sharp object, you can only read half screen is what I meant

I do enjoy PS4 more than Xbox1 but there are so many annoying glitches. I am periodically disconnected because of a PS4 LAN issue, which is very frustrating when you have a wired connection. The Applications close up, and EA wont get on the ball and fix their issues. Besides small annoying things, it's a great system.

I did like PS4 at first. We used it for a lot of things. Then the remote just decided to not turn on or charge. So I had to pay for shipping it to them to fix. They shipped it back pretty quickly and it worked. Okay, whatever. But now my system won't turn off. It will power off and then turn on by itself. I think it's the remote somehow triggering it. Now I have to go through the hassle again, and it's not like I can email them and tell them what's going on at my convenience.. No. I have to wait for their PT business hours to "chat" with someone. Unacceptable. This product is so expensive, they could certainly afford a 24 hour call line, or at least give the option to email. There is no way it should be breaking within 6 months, am I right? Two times. I don't have the time or money to be sending all this back in, but I'm responsible for shipping their DEFECTIVE products back to them. Why? We had an Xbox for YEARS before this, never once did we have an issue with it.

The R2 trigger on the controller is clearly broken. When pressed it stays down as if there is no spring to pop it back up. The screws on the back have been greatly scratched which leads me to believe some one has disassembled the controller and removed the R2 tiger spring. This is not what I would expect when I buy something that is described as in "Very Good condition".

This item comes as advertised, but it isn't a great product. Beware if buying this item as a gift- it isn't quite as easy as plug and go. You will have to download the latest PS operating system update on a separate device and save to an external drive, then plug to your PS4 to get started. It will also take at least 5-7 hours with a good internet connection to download and install the games advertised in the bundle as "Battlefront" edition.You would be smarter to buy the PlayStation 4, and the Star Wars games separately unless you really appreciate delayed gratification.

We started using this PS4 unit on 12/25/15. It died 01/09/16. We did have problems with it before it completely died. It would freeze and shut itself off. We would then have to restart it. We are returning this unit for another. Hopefully the 2nd PS4 will be problem free and will last longer than 2 weeks. We unfortunately had a game disc in the unit when it died and cannot get it out. There are YouTube videos that show how to get a disc out manually but this unit is different than what they have. There is no magic eject screw on this unit where their units have one. It looks like the kid's beloved Minecraft game is gone for good :( We like the PS4, just wished it worked.

I am trying to use the code for the "star wars BATTLEFRONT" game but it says that The code is incorrect.I need the solution please.

i don't know the 99% of the games :P

It's ok my son used it for about 10minutes then was bored

A good recommendation for children to engage in for relaxation and fun. Both my kids enjoy playing and exploring all the games in 1 awesome machine.

Cool concept, a little difficult to play the games due to size of controller.

Super tiny

It's fun, but really what I wanted. I searched for a donkey Kong retro came and this one shan't have it

Purchased for Christmas 2015. Now March 2016 the controller that came with the PS4 has buttons that stopped working. I don't know if there is any way of correcting this since I ordered it through Amazon.

Not worth it at all if you are not going to use the online multi-player aspects of the game. Lousy for a stand alone for single player. Bought for my son whom I do not want venturing online just yet.

Bundle did not include Battlefront game or voucher and or downloaded on system!

A bit of a disappointment. PS4 is ok compared to PS3. Graphics on Madden and Star Wars seems amazing. Gameplay on the Star Wars game is disappointing. Annoyingly multi-player DOESN'T WORK unless you get additional Playstation $$$network$$$. Won't be playing this game ever again. Madden at least has some value but similar Playstation network is needed for some of the modes.

4 Digital box indicates the code and none came. You can not play with the console.

I think these new gamming systems main objective is to try to get you to sign up for every gaming and video service available my god all the crap they preinstall on these systems and try to get you to subscribe to is ridiculous.Main reason we got this bundle was for the battlefront game my son was so excited for the game only to NOT find the card with the code in the box we even went to dumping all the wrapping paper out of the garage bag looking for.Can you actually play anything without needing to have a ps4 account and downloading everything???? My kids got several games with their ps4 for Christmas but the disks seem to have no content and require you to download first, and asking kids to wait hours for games to download...right. Why do these systems have to be linked to just about every online social media and game network? We just want to put in a freakin disks and play the game!!!!!! Which doesn't seem possible anymore.

arrived not working. we returned. it turned on, but once you selected the game you wanted to play, the screen just went white

Really way too small and doesn't even has Pacman (I don't remember if they advertise it, but it's not there). Plenty of games of really low level graphic, complexity etc,, some of them hard to understand. Maybe use it as a decoration, the way Superman makes a cameo appearance in every Seinfeld episode:).

The photo on this item is a bit misleading. This is not a mini-tabletop console, it is more of a micro unit. There is almost no way you can play with the tiny buttons and joystick and viewing on the micro screen is difficult at best. If you are wanting a table-top arcade unit, this is not it.

The screen is very tiny and I did not even recognize the games. Very disappointed. I was at least expecting to see some game names I recognized...instead I saw things like: Checkers, Chess, poker, blackjack

This product is way too small. It is not worth the money. Shouldn't be more than $10. I would not recommend this product.

Son ordered it on accident. I tried it, its made of cheap plastic and very flimsy. it is very light and it will not hold up to a small child, the joysticks are very loose and wobbly, and the lcd screen is only viewable from strait on.

This was supposed to come with a download code for star wars battlefront - the fode has been used so I had to buy it myself.

the playstation 4 came to me with a factory error called CE-34878-0, that makes the game constantly closing, this error has occurred a lot of times in the multiplayer of call of duty black ops 3. I wonder how long has warranty the console, so that I can make a change for another playstation 4.thank you

Worst experience I've ever had with warehouse deals. Console worked for a little while but soon started to crash within a minute - 10 minutes of playing any game. Error code ce-34878-0 kept popping up

I love the console and the included Star Wars Battlefront game; however, the PlayStation store is nothing but pure frustration. Trying order anything off the PlayStation Store with a valid credit card almost never works. It was a huge disappointment getting this console for the holidays, only to be unable to load any new games onto it from the online store. Every time you attempt to process a transaction it gets denied with a generic error message "missing charges." Customer support is absolutely nonexistent and the consumer is left completely on their own trying to figure out how everything works. Unless you are planning on only purchasing games on DVD, this piece of garbage gets an F minus in the ability to download active content. There is absolutely nothing worse than having children standing around wanting to play the new console and the parent can't get the damn thing to work. Sony's Playstation.com has been hacked so many times they have now gone to the opposite extreme and made legitimate transactions impossible.

I was pretty excited to get the ps4 today I hooked it up set up my new account and to find out the battlefront code has already been used so instead for a new consol that I could I gotten for 30 dollars more I went this this one and I'm stuck with it and the code isn't even included what a joke if you're looking for a bundle look else where and instead of it being used go with a new one 30 dollars more is well worth it rather then being played

PlayStation is great. It was a for my son for Christmas. BUT IT WAS MISSING THE DOWNLOAD CODE FOR BATTLEFRONT!

Did not work

Turned on and only white screen displays, has noise but still displays white screen.

buttons to small for adult but may be fine for a child

The worst ítem to buy.

Item arrived broken

A bunch of useless games. Not anything like the real ones. I kept looking through the 200 games. All garbage and nothing even closely resembling the real ones I grew up with. Names like "police dog lasy" , "rescue kuck " , "aweful rushing"-the names give no clue what the game is about. The games themselves are really bad. Don't waste your money.I got as a gift
