    Sorry Ivor not into the tablet market. So my advice would be based on nothing. Like most of my opinions haha.

    Loved that trilogy, such a shame the end was crap.

    Ivor have a look at the samsung tablets. I have a samsung galaxy tab 2 which I paid 149 a few months back but they've just brought a brand new one out so the tab 2 might be a little cheaper.
    Either way give amazon a look and read some of the reviews etc first to see if it meets your needs mate.

    Re: buying a console versus building your own - "iBuyPower's Steam Machine offers PC specs for the price of a new Xbox"

    "This morning, iBuyPower revealed a prototype of its own upcoming Steam Machine, which will go on sale for just $499 next year. For the price of an Xbox One, the computer will offer a multicore AMD CPU and a discrete AMD Radeon R9 270 graphics card &#8212; that's a $180 GPU all by itself &#8212; and come with Valve's Steam Controller as part of the package deal."

    The SteamBox is effectively an "unlocked" PC with a Linux OS, so upgradeable (hardware and software) and totally open but sold as a console. More AAA titles will come once released, so I'm hoping this will take off. I'm not up on AMD cards but that one sounds decent enough and supposedly better than those in the PS4 and Xbox One. I've only used nVidia cards as the Linux driver's excellent, so a surprise they've gone with an AMD card (ok driver) but I've no doubt it'll improve however.

    The GPU alone is much better, the PS4 uses the equivalent to the Radeon 7850, the r9 270 is better, not a great deal better, but still better.

    Still a waste of money if you ask me, still better off putting that money towards upgrading a current system, if you are building for the long term at least :p No good for first time starters into PC gaming who haven't got a decent enough PC to upgrade.

    Totally agree, it'll cost less to use existing parts that don't need upgrading.

    Not sure I understand you here. You're getting a "console" with better specs than the latest gen consoles, which is also upgradeable. And it's also a PC. Seems like win-win to me :) This will be entry level so I'm sure we'll also see better spec machines for not a lot more expense. I just meant this as an illustration of "consle v PC" pricing anyway, as was discussed earlier.
