The value of Gamepass is just too good and I'm not missing out on Starfield, Elderscrolls and Doom.

I've been pretty much Playstation only gamer since the Xbox 360 but now that I'm missing out on tangibly good games I said forget about it.

Let's face the fact ladies and germs, Xbox is the future! Can't wait to play some Infinite

 

[Halo2redvsblue]

Why play the console war, just get both if you like them.

 

[Jennings]

You don't need an Xbox to use Gamepass. Just sub for a $1 trial and game on PC.

I already have a PS5

You just assumed he had gaming PC lol

Even if she doesn't have a PC it's easier to build a PC than find a Series X.

[Punished Miku]

Now you can finally play Lococycle

 

[Chris_Rivera]

My XsX kinda just collects dust (especially now I have a gpu). Infinite is not as good as I hoped. I guess I’m picky with my games and how impressed I am with them, probably because I don’t have a ton of free time to blow.

 

[adamsapple]

Recent events have certainly made Series a very tantalizing purchase.

If/Once you do, look into how you can get cheap 3 years game pass ultimate by converting Gold. You'll have a metric ton of games at your disposal and another metric ton in the next 3 years.

 

[Concern]

If you have the money for it and want both, do it. Don't let some random fanboys on the internet trying to justify their purchase of one tell you how to spend your money.

 

[Jennings]

I ain't a chick

Statistically there are more women than men in the world, I didn't just want to assume your gender by opting for the the statistical minority.

 

[DispatchNinja]

I plan on getting one as soon as Starfield releases.

The first rule of Green Rat Club is: Phil Spencer is our lord and saviour.

Final rule is: If this is your first time at Green Rat Club, you have to sell your PS5.

Just having fun

Get a PC, no reason to lock yourself in a closed system if you have the option.

 

[Tschumi]

OP was straddling his second series x as he wrote this

 

[Potato Chip PRO]

Even if she doesn't have a PC it's easier to build a PC than find a Series X.

Its much cheaper to buy a Series X than building a PC from scratch... Especially with the soaring prices of PC parts these days.

 

[Kagey K]

Why

My XsX kinda just collects dust (especially now I have a gpu). Infinite is not as good as I hoped. I guess I’m picky with my games and how impressed I am with them, probably because I don’t have a ton of free time to blow.

Why don't you sell the OP yours then?

Seems like a win win.

 

[Ozriel]

Even if she doesn't have a PC it's easier to build a PC than find a Series X.

As long as you’re happy paying a scalper for a decent GPU at 2.5x MSRP.

Get a PC, no reason to lock yourself in a closed system if you have the option.

Massive price difference, for one.

 

[skneogaf]

Enjoy your ability to play games that release on both consoles and have now stopped feeling like you have to choose a side (tribalism)

 

[GenericUser]

I bought one, after microsoft bought activision and moved all my future purchases from playstation to xbox. I was never a big fan of the sony exclusives anyway and call of duty becoming xbox exclusive was the tipping point for me. I now own both, the xbox and the ps5. Nice consoles, both of them. Can't wait for dying light 2 this week and starfield / stalker 2 next december.

I don't think sony can survive in the long run though. If microsoft buys EA next year (which is "only" 38 billion) it's over for sony. They can't afford to loose fifa AND cod normies.

 

[DavidGzz]

I'm pricing PC's that would be a good bit more powerful than a XSX and it's through the roof(3.5k+). You can't beat the value of the X or S at the moment. If you don't care about mods and early access games, XSX is the way to go if you can find one.

 

[GigaBowser]

I wouldn't say I was choosing sides. Xbox One was just crap and I didn't want it, but Xbox really seems to be turning it around this gen.

 

[Halo2redvsblue]

I already have a PS5

Yeah but how you make it sound like when you said you caved in to buy an Xbox, sounds like you didn't want one.

 

[THE DUCK]

In before some half brain posts that Sony is the only company with great games.
Having both is great, you miss out on nothing!

 

[nowhat]

If Xbox is just too hot right now, shouldn't you wait for a newer model with better cooling?

 

[Chittagong]

I just used a concierge service to score me a second Series X since I live in three countries. Def worth it.

Switch and Series X are my global consoles, PS5 is a London indulgence.

Pc's aren't for everyone, only a few of us can be bothered updating calculator, excel and installing drivers pretty much every day.

 

[Phunkydiabetic]

Get a PC, no reason to lock yourself in a closed system if you have the option.

For $499? You suggest he gets an entire pc for $499 that is supposed to be comparable to an xsx?

 

[Leyasu]

?? The op clearly states that he has a PS5, so he is already locked into a closed system.

Do it op, XsX is a great console and will go nice with your PS5

Where are this games? At PS side you will have big games in the coming months while the mentioned games don't have even a gameplay trailer and will be years off. Gamepass is bullshit. You see everyone can write a hyperbole, but you made this thread with the intention to create drama

 

[NinjaBoiX]

Yeah, I’ve got a series S and I’ve barely touched my PS4 Pro since. I’m going to get a series X for the sitting room soon, and leave the PS4 and series S in the spare room. Gamepass is just too appealing a value proposition.

I’m yet to be convinced to buy a PS5, but I’m sure once their blockbuster 1st party titles come around I’ll change my mind.

PS5/Series X in the sitting room, PS4 Pro/Series S in the spare room. Yeah

Get a PC, no reason to lock yourself in a closed system if you have the option.

Well there’s plenty of reasons to be fair; cost, ease of use, doesn’t need an entire desk dedicated to it.

 

[captainraincoat]

I already have a PS5

Best way to be… xbox will probably get more game time in my house but you can discount the Sony exclusives and there are some banging games coming out in the next few months

Just need a Sony gamepass

 

[NinjaBoiX]

Gamepass is bullshit.

Um, how’s that now?

 

[GigaBowser]

Calm down there warrior, I said I already have a PS5.

 

[Kamina]

Very happy with my PS5, but also checking out that XSX sexiness.
Shame they are sold out or overpriced everywhere.

 

[Jim Ryan other Clone]

Um, how’s that now?

Did you read what I wrote or you got triggered just seeing Gamepass is bullshit? I wrote a hyperbole like the OP. Gamepass is perfect in fact. But the warrior mentality is clouding the people mind...

Calm down, people can be excited by Xbox too you know, no need to go into a frenzy and start the drama because you’re triggered.

 

[Ozzy Onya A2Z]

Gamepass front loading OPs backlog.

I have a PC and gamepass on it.. its amazing, but I still think the xbox is much easier to deal with overall.

That’s not likely.

They’re the market leader and it’s one game compared to multiple online offerings exclusive to PS.

FIFA is multi-platform indefinitely, why would a public league want a game’s full exclusivity?

And MS has no final call with FIFA:

FIFA does.

That’s precisely the reason why MLB: The Show went multi-platform (MLB’s ultimate decision).

I doubt the FTC would allow them, but assuming every studio is available for purchase is naive. Not every one had the backlash AB received all last year (all while enduring stock dips).

 

[Jim Ryan other Clone]

I am calm. In my pants out of bed with a hot coffee and taking breakfast while reading some threads. If he came with good intentions I wouldn't even comments but they way the OP thread reads is like a bait thread

 

[LeftThumbstick]

I don’t see how his/her intentions were bad exactly.

 

[SSfox]

Nah still don't care, but if they make a new good Crash game and lock it as Xbox exclusive then I'm in.

PS: And btw I'll buy the game, not Gamepass.

 

[Ic3man]

Welcome to the future.

 

[FlyyGOD]

I see alot of fanboys in here trying to convince this man not to get something he wants. Why should it matter to anyone?

 

[T0minator]

I've had PS and Xbox since the very beginning. If you haven't had an Xbox since the 360 then you've missed a couple of good first party games. If it was the other way around your mind would be blown by the amount of games you've missed.

Xbox and PS5 are the future. Xbox Series X hasn't hit their stride yet with content not until the later half of this year into next year.

For now checking out the backlog would your only choice. Both will do really really well this generation. Being a multi-console owner is the best way to go this generation

 

[Hobbygaming]

I won't be sold off of promises. I need way more than Halo Infinite and FH5 to justify another $500 console. Halo 5 Guardians and FH4 missed the mark for me on Xbox One

The games on Xbox that I have a little interest in are Hellblade 2, Indiana Jones, Fable (if it's a reboot and not a MMO) Starfield, and Perfect Dark

I'm waiting to see if these are good and I'm still disappointed they didn't have anything ready for a while

Good luck with the hunting.

Here at Finland series x became available on stores before xmas, so I just walked in and bought one (no bundles). They were available for about 3 weeks, but are now sold out again it seems.

I still dont like the controller, but otherwise SXS + PS5 complete each other. PS5 is this epic futuristic system with best controller + best single player experiences.*

And SXS is this "rental library multiplayer machine"*, I have been playing some pc-xbox crossplay games with my friend and it have been nice. (finished alien fireteam, started generation zero) SXS is also really quiet, PS5 aint that noisy either, but SXS is quiet enough to not to be any kind of distraction.

I dont really like forza/halo, but it is ok, nobody likes everything. Gears 5 seems to be good, which is surprise as I could not care to play the old ones on 360.

Game pass is great with this "get 36 months of gold, upgrade to GPU for 1€" deal, cost me about 93€ total.
Without this deal I would not have it, as GPU is just way too expensive in the long run, at least for someone with limited time + multiple consoles.

Before current gen, xbox have been kind of a sad joke to me, but SXS does enough stuff right, so now I kind of feel like I would be missing a lot without it as a gamer.

If someone have the money and time, both consoles are good choise, and it removes the ability to do console war as you see the good and bad on both sides
