I do both. Game Pass for my PC and PS Plus premium for my PS5.

I use the PS Plus Premium a lot more. If I had to chose 1, PS Plus Premium would be it. Game Pass has Day One releases, which is cool. But how many of them are GOTY contenders? Literally...Zero.

Every year Sony has 2 or 3 GOTY nominees. Those all come to PS Plus eventually.

Sounds like he would love Gran Turismo 7, RE: Village, Doom 2016 (and maybe Eternal after that). I bet he would love adaptive triggers.

Though...

When you're grooming a new gamer what you offer to them first usually don't stick. After your initial offer they find something THEY like by THEMSELVES. Which, let's be honest is how we enjoy gaming, by choosing our own games. Imagine someone asking you to play x game every other day, I would hate that game for a while for sure

I am not sure about the answers here... That "bundle", what is it? Is it a game on a disc (you mention a seal)? They specify the Series X on it because the S doesn't have a disc reader, making the game disc "compatible" with the X only.

The game itself is of course compatible with the Xbox S, but you need a digital code to get it on there.

The series S is digital only and has a small hard drive, otherwise it runs (99.9%) of all the xbox next gen games. I have one, I love it, but be prepared to manage the hard-drive space closely.

Edit: Pro-tip: If you got a disc, returns it and get a few months of GamePass for XBox. Your son will have access to hundreds of games, including Fifa 22.

I reccomend an Xbox with GamePass.

He'll have over 100 games to choose what to play.

He'll love the forza games. Horizon and motorsport.

Doom 2016 and eternal are both on GamePass. As are the originals.

Series S is amazing value. But if he wants best of best graphics on console, series X

GamePass is the play in this situation....

Last I checked I live in a free society and I can go on any sub I want. I'm offering a real critique on Xbox and all you're doing is dismissing it as stupid lol. All this does is make MS look greedy trying to force ppl to go on the Gamepass when it costs more and i don't need it. They PS tiers are actually pretty simple to understand if you can read at a grade 1 level. It literally takes 10 seconds to read the summary of it described on the screen lol. If ppl didn't understand there would be a bigger uproar on the playstation which is the best selling console of this gen currently. What makes no sense is MS not allowing 6 or 12 month renewals in an effort in trying to force people to go XGP. And again no Xbox live costs $70 for the 12 month digital code on Amazon in my country and there was no deal for it. PS had both deals on 12 month game cards and renewals. If your argument is that MS shouldn't be competing against PC then that's even more stupid than it sounds.

steam deck, you can run an emulator and play like every Nintendo game ever made. Switch isn't worth anywhere close to the asking price with the Deck out now.

With all honesty the steam deck can emulate switch games pretty reliably. I collect games so I need to own the physical copies on switch but if you’re okay emulating then just go to the steam deck.

Id get a steam deck the winter summer autumn sales are amazing it’s a portable PC if you think about it and switch the sales aren’t that bad but you have to pay for Nintendo online for some exclusive game titles like splatoon 3 and so on it starts getting costly but with steamdeck everything’s there and you don’t need a subscription to play any games
