What is on your wishlist?

Have any of you got a next generation games console yet?  The PS4 is high on the wishlist for us.  Our current PS3 has become integral to our home entertainment, and it would be a natural upgrade for us.  With our PS3:

  • we all watch blu rays and DVDs
  • we watch, record and pause live TV with the Play TV peripheral
  • I like to use it for catch-up TV, e.g. BBC iPlayer
  • the children like to play games like Skylanders
  • Mr C likes to play first person shooters like Battlefield and Call of Duty
