Anyone considering an XSX instead of a PS5 after the E3 conference?

About a year after, if tge regular timed rules apply.
Might be sooner, since MS bought them after the deal.

I'm a bit confused about the OP....what the conference has to do with his "reconsideration" when just talk about to have launch games on gamepass the day one? We already knew this from awhile, I literally don't follow the OP. Seems another stealth gamepass appreciation thread to me, the E3 is a blatantly excuse.

That's the way to go IMO, in like 3 years there will most likely be a 399 PS5 Slim, with enough exclusives to chose from, with all the 1st party heavy hitters waiting to be played. Get an XSX/XSS now with GP if you're financially restrained, then PS5 somewhere down the road.

Tbh no , I'm not going to switch of to XSX because of a good conference!. I'm still taken by a great system with an incredible controller and of course a variety of games and much more on the way, so until now there is no solid reason to switch from a system to another.

Getting both the PS5 and the Series X is definitely where it is at. I went PS4 first last gen and didn't regret it, switched to the Xbox as my main third party system when they launched the One X and after they really got serious about backwards compatibility. Since most of my 3rd party games are on Xbox now I got the Series X first this gen, but there are enough great exclusive games on each system that you should really end up with both. I'm on the lookout for a PS5 now, because I want to play Demon's Souls, Miles Morales, and Ratchet & Clank.
Especially now with Gamepass, the Series X is a must have for someone who spends a lot of time gaming. It has totally changed how I play. I try so many games, and I find myself finishing all kinds of games I never even would have tried before Gamepass.

You knew this. I didnt, thats the point. Of course I heard of gamepass before but I just thought its something that has access to older games and maybe in 6 months a newer title pops in. I had no clue I can get the newest Forza, Flight Simulator, Stalker 2 on the same day as a regular release. Thats crazy money savings. For reference I spent $130 to buy Mass Effect and RE8. But now gamepass offers a lot of new titles straight out the gate, now I get it what MS was trying to push.

I will wait for PS5 slim version.
For current model I will have to buy new furniture.

It's the best option and obviously PS will and has great games but Xbox first party are simply too big. The amount of studios and depth of talent is frightening and PS just don't have the numbers to compete anymore. Gamepass now having 3rd party games day 1 consistently is a genuine game changer.

No, PS5 will be my main console when there is one to purchase (but I may get a Series S as a secondary game pass / emulation machine)

Haha, yeah the Size of the PS5 does make me wonder where I would put it. Even my Series X is weird, even though much smaller. I have it laying on it's side and angled with the heat vent facing out because it is just slightly too tall to stand upright in my TV stand, and gets too warm for my comfort when layed down and put in straight.........Weird problems, but these consoles are weirdly shaped!

Yeah the first one was such a good game, was that a gamepass day 1 game though?

Flight simulator alone is a reason enough to get series x . Games like ratchet, Forza , halo , uncharted are all too samey with better graphics every few years .
But flight sim if it's done well on series x is probably the biggest to buy a console if ur not into PC gaming

Instead no, definitely no. But I'm thinking on buying it to play Forza.

Whilst on neogaf you're going to have most saying no, not taking in what you've said you're interested in.
But from what you've said about yourself and what interests you with game pass.
I would say go for it and enjoy the buffet off games, it's literally a downpour of games for the next 6 months.
& when you get a ps5 later, there will be a nice pile up of first party games at a more attractive price point so you won't have to worry about dropping $70 for each title.
The games are £70 here in the UK what is roughly $97 USD, what really sucks.

Don't think so, it came on GamePass for PC on Jan 2020

Nah. I'd prefer to have all the consoles. XSX for everyday gaming with my friends and the PS5 for the occasional solo Sony games. Both offer good gaming experiences just depends on whether you game alone or with buddies.

Listen, I'm filthy rich.
Affording all consoles is no big deal for me.
Hell, I'd even purchase an XSX for my pet dolphin.

You'll also be able to play it on Xbox One via cloud streaming. What with Cloud, Xbox and PC support, you can play it almost anywhere and everywhere! Great for (nearly) all the gamers!

I was 100% in team PS5 late last gen. Loved the PS4. Amazing exclusives. Barely touched my Xbox in the last two years. Kept hearing about Gamepass and decided to give it a shot with a free months trial. I couldn’t believe the value and was hooked. Once Series X was revealed (most powerful console) and news of $130 AUD games trickled in it was no contest. I go where the value is and right now Xbox gamepass is unbeatable. I’ll pick up a PS5 when they release a slim and there are heaps of discounted first party games.

It is, that’s why I joked about it! I guess the hiatus of no gamepass threads ( ads ) are over….
I assume tomorrow we will have another thread of “gamepass, game changer did you heard of it?”
The amount of times you contradicted yourself is astounding. You do realise most 3rd party games don't go to gamepass? If you aren't interested in 1st party games then why do you care about gamepass? If you don't have much time then surely gamepass is overkill? You're op made sense , this comment makes them both sound stupid.

I think if you are going to buy both eventually, then it would be smart to go with Xbox first especially if you are interested in any multiplayer games (full disclosure: I only have a Series X and am not planning on getting a PS5). The single-player experiences that Sony excels at will always be there and will still be great next year or even later (and discounted), so you don't really risk "falling behind". I'm playing through a lot of single-player BC enhanced games now (some new, some I've played before) and having a blast. Plus with Game Pass you will have lower up-front costs which may help with saving for the PS5.

I’m really hyped for that game. Can’t wait! Was so happy when they surprised us with a launch date of next month.

Have a Switch, XsX, PS5 and two gaming PCs all serve their purpose. The conference did make me change my stance on Game Pass but not the system. SMH, Yea I bought into it. I know.... I know.

In all seriousness now. This was the best Xbox conference in years. Straight to the point, trailer after trailer. But there were no bangers for me. Those seem to be years off.

Well I already have them both but nothing at E3 was shown that made me more excited to use my Series X. Just got a new TV and the only things I’ve been using it to test on series X are auto HDR and FPS boost 120hz titles. Where on the PS5 I’m playing Returnal, and Rift Apart.
That alone speaks to the issue. Love the hardware, but other than the BC program there’s nothing really tempting me to actually use the console.
