Those aren't worth it for me. I am not into final fantasy series. I have the OG ff7 on my x1s, but I dont play it. And I have the remake for ps4 from ps+.I think the PS5 is worth it right now if you want to play Demon Souls, Returnal and Ratchet and then you have Astrobot packed in which ive heard great things about too. Also if you are super into FF7 Remake the PS5 version with DLC just came out again but I would say its borderline even at that point for right now. Also worth it if you didnt play much PS4 for that PS+ collection and the last few years of releases like Last of US 2 and Ghosts of Tsushima.
Series X I have no clue why anyone would want one until Halo/Forza are out, if interested in those, or you didnt play anything XBOX last gen that you wanted to play although I honestly cant think of a ton of things other than older Halo/Forza/Gears and maybe the odd title here and there maybe. Right now on Series X there is the Medium but that is also coming to PS5 in September. Other titles I can think of are Psychonauts 2, Flight Sim before Forza/Halo are out
Right now I would say Starfield would be the thing I would most consider getting a Series X for assuming I couldnt have a very good computer built by then, followed by possibly Halo MP, and Fable, and things a bit further.
In your situation seems like you are set for a bit anyway if you were already in both consoles last gen.
The reason Game Pass works is because of Microsoft DEEP AF pockets. Also, yes, not everything on Game Pass is gonna be a winner, but to say it's quantity over quality is being disingenuous. There's plenty to play and coming soon. Like...I'm not sold on the idea of Gamepass, actually I really dislike it. It has quantity over quality written all over it and I'm interested in how this model will play out in the long run.
It seems some fans are so blinded by how little they're paying, that's all great but at what expense? When was the last time you got games like The Last of Us, God of War, Horizon, Spiderman or Ghost of Tsushima?
.....I actually sold my Series X after E3. I didn't see anything I'd sink time into. Gamepass isn't a selling point to me since the games are either mediocre or old.
It’s funny that you put it that way. I bought the Series X knowing the games will come that will make it worth it for me to have the X which I bought after the PS5. I added Gamepass which was part of a GameStop bundle and though I knew the value was there, I wasnt really into the games on there......I actually sold my Series X after E3. I didn't see anything I'd sink time into. Gamepass isn't a selling point to me since the games are either mediocre or old.
If you can afford a GPU. It's more cost effective to just buy a series X, but i know alot of people here would never give MS money.Nope, PC+PS5 is the way to go. Best way to play Xbox games plus don't miss out on the Playstation exclusives that may not make their way to PC.
I'll take it as the best proof that it's impossible to please everybody.

As you see, plenty of killer things to play on Game Pass, and once Xbox first-party kicks into high gear, things will get interesting. Hopefully they can finally deliver titles on the same level as Sony. I say this as a gamer that historically bleeds PlayStation. I want each company to compete and succeed in their own ways. So far, Sony holds the first-party high ground, while Xbox offers fantastic value through Game Pass. Time will tell if team green can finally step up their first-party game.
Like I said, I bleed PlayStation ever since I was a kid in the 90's, so I'm saying this without being some crazed Xbox fanboy. Okay, so, the only reason why Sony diehard balk at Game Pass is due to them thinking Sony can't possibly compete on that level because they don't have the deep pockets for it. Whether that's true, or not, is up for debate. What is true though, is the feeling of overpaying for games that are available day one on Game Pass. It's really simple as that.
Also, there's no evidence to suggest the existence of Game Pass somehow hinders first-party development.
Side note: I really want a PS5 and Sony needs to get their shit together on VRR.
Yes.Im a playstation guy, love the games and the platform but this covid next gen hasnt hyped me as much. Even when announced, I really didnt get the XSX appeal with its gamepass. I chose my platform based on the games I have most connection with. Im not gonna lie, I do wish some titles were on PS like Forza Horizon, Gears of War, Flight Simulator etc. And then the E3 show happened and at the end of almost every single trailer: "Day one gamepass". And considering how often I see GP on discounts I was like wait...I can play all these new games, day one if I wanted with a single subscription of under $100 a year (taking advantage of discounted GP). And on the other side I have to think if I want to part with $70 for each game on PS5. Sure, ill miss out on the big exclusives from PS but I never said I wont buy it later as well.
Im at a similar spot where as playstation fan I bought an xbox360 first and then a PS3 when the slim version came out because at the time it was just a better purchase and took awhile for those exclusives to pile up. Now I feel like im in the same spot, that maybe ill go for XSX first and get a PS5Pro or slim later. This time being because I get the appeal of gamepass. Its a financial decision but I also play a shit ton of third parties. And not gonna lie, even Halo Infinite got me interested again. Not to mention I can find XsX way easier than a PS5 atm. Anyone else in a similar boat?
TLTR:
Maybe known to many but I just realized that gamepass offers day one releases as well. Thats insane money saved. Especially on third party. Once that sunk in, now I see where MS is going with this. Of course ill get the PS5 but it wont be before XSX.
I love my XSX and use it almost everyday - (right now I've got R&C sat in my PS5 drive but can't stop playing Dragon Q Builders 2 which I got on Gamepass.)If you are considering switching after that conference then you should have switched a long time ago. The next big releases are MS Flight Sim. Forza and Halo. I don't mean that as a knock against Microsoft. Just pointing out that it is a traditional release year for their console and if those titles excite you now they should have before.
Well, that's definitely the future i want my favourite hobby to go to. Bring it on , Phil Spencer! load em up with even more games.The Gamepass Ad they've shown as an E3 presentation actually made me reconsider ever getting an Xbox as a third console. That's not the future I want my favourite hobby to go to.
indeed, now all they have to do is add an engine, a transmission, a battery, an alternator, a suspension, wheels, breaks, a fuel tank and we should be good to goMS clearly has a long term plan and is starting to fire on all cylinders.

yep this forum is full of ps fanboys.OP, This is a PlayStation land. They wont change their mind, even if the universe is ending.
i guess it's personal preference then. 2 of those games i want to play. there's actually a load of games on GP i'd play.I understand there's a value in GP, but all the advocates also seem to have difficulty understanding it doesn't appeal to people that want specific games. For example, here's a list of games that I played or intend to play this year:
How many of those will I find on GP, except of Wreckfest where i unlocked everything before it came to GP? I'm not interested in indie games (Goose was rare exception) or sci-fi shooters. I'm sure there are many players like me that don't find 3 or 4 too quality games on GP right now that encouraging.
- Ghost of Tsushima
- Spiderman Miles Morales
- Wreckfest
- Mafia DE
- Mafia 2 remaster
- Untitled Goose Game
- AC: Valhalla
- Cyberpunk 2077
- Battlefield 2042
I think you still have no idea what is on gamepass.I understand there's a value in GP, but all the advocates also seem to have difficulty understanding it doesn't appeal to people that want specific games. For example, here's a list of games that I played or intend to play this year:

you don’t have to use GP if you own an Xbox, you still buy the gamesThe Gamepass Ad they've shown as an E3 presentation actually made me reconsider ever getting an Xbox as a third console. That's not the future I want my favourite hobby to go to.
And that is okay, that is why you have options like PC.The Gamepass Ad they've shown as an E3 presentation actually made me reconsider ever getting an Xbox as a third console. That's not the future I want my favourite hobby to go to.

I wouldn’t say that. My PC, Valve Index and PS5 have done a great job pleasing me. My Switch and Series X have a ways to go though.
What kind of TV is this?I wouldn’t say that. My PC, Valve Index and PS5 have done a great job pleasing me. My Switch and Series X have a ways to go though.
I don't how many times I have to repeat this, their offering for people with gaming pc isn't the console, it's gamepass for pc.I have a PS5 and a gaming pc. Why should I buy an xbox? I would upgrade my 1060 instead
LG one judging from the stand, CX or C1 most likely.What kind of TV is this?
What screen you have?
It an LG C1 OLED 77”. Amazing TV. It has 4 HDMI 2.1 ports, Gsync, Freesync, VRR, ALLM, Dolby Vision 120hz gaming, and a built in game optimizer. Highly recommend.
Gamepass is just not appealing to me at all. I don't want unlimited games. I already have more than enough games. My backlog is already chock full. And frankly, I don't need any more subscriptions. Let alone 3(PSN, XBL and GP).
Sony's giving me new high quality PS5 games which are blowing my socks off RIGHT NOW. They've proven to make the kinds of games I like. And I'm gonna be getting amazing games for an entire generation.
