if you still haven't bought a next gen console (why) then you have two choices: today at best buy from 1pm - 4pm you can buy a AC5 xbox one bundle at best buy for $349 and get a free year of XBL ($60), use a movers coupon from USPS post office and take 10% off too.

Or rumor has it Sony is going to offer a big bundle for black friday

How's the PS4 with regards to local media files? Is it like the PS3 with format support etc? I don't care for streaming.

None yet really - think that's all supposed to be part of 2.1 or so on the update cycle though (so probably late Winter/early Spring)

picked up halo MCC at midnite (really 9pm) microsoft store launch party, was pretty cool. ~75 people showed up, but only 10 or so bought the game as far as I could tell - mostly a ton of people with 360s who stared wistfully at the xbox one that was being raffled off. lots of free shit like t-shirts, tons and tons of gourmet food, halo swag, etc. you could play halo against a pro gamer girl, she pretty much kicked everyones ass, was great seeing the cocky xbros getting trashed while she played one handed.

pros of xbox one: turn on time is super fast, like under a second from on to home screen. ps4 is a lot slower here.
cons: holy shit xbox one install times are pathetically bad. Like... hours?? i started halo 10 minutes ago and its at 3%. probably gonna run all night or some shit, oh well I am going to bed anyways. PS4 is 10-30x faster on installs. Yeah I realize its probably gotta download a massive update or whatever but still, its pathetic. both are on wired lan.

black friday best buy deals seem good on xbox one games, forza 5 for like $25 and ryse/DR3 too around same price

It's terribly disappointing as far as media goes right now. It's way worse than the PS3, which is retarded. Hopefully they patch that stuff in soon.

Sunset Overdrive is free for all xbox one users for 24 hours on Nov 22nd (tomorrow), full game with all achieves and shit. If you really want you can finish the entire SP campaign. Any progress you make is saved if you buy the game later. As a reminder the game is going to be $40 on black friday at the microsoft store, good chance it'll be the same price for digital purchase too
Sunset Overdrive Free for Xbox Live Gold Members this Saturday - Xbox Lives Major Nelson

I had a PS1, but didn't get it on release, but really shortly there after. I still dug the 4 game "demo disc" that came with the system. I think it had Ridge Racer, Jumping Flash and... fuck, I don't remember the other 2 games.

EDIT: It might not have had ridge racer... I just remember that as one of the first games I had for the system.

MaybeBattle Arena Toshinden? I remember that being a big one.

I loved Psygnosis's Destruction Derby on the PS1. But, my god, I got it free one month on my PS3 and the graphics were absolutely hideous.
