I don’t think you can get a disc drive at a later date, if you don’t want to lose access to your 360 library then I’d say go for the series x and out a little towards it yourself, I’m from the UK so I’m not sure of cost in euros but if you have 500 already I imagine it’s not a lot.

Sony just can't compete with gamepass and the steaming is amazing

Best idea

100% Genshin Impact everyone can agree with me

I mean to be fair the Xbox one was just a bad generation from Microsoft. Same way how PS3 wasn't so hot compared to the 360 in my opinion. The S is a budget console so yeah it clearly isn't meant to be future proof or last. My Series X though I absolutely expect to keep for a long time. My 360 lasted forever, PS4 is still going strong, and this gen hasn't even started until games start coming out that are exclusively next gen.

So far the Xbox is proving to be just as good as the PS5 if not better. Performance, cooling, storage, all that and it's already been a couple years to prove it.

Yes piss them off by buying a switch 😂

Definitely Skyrim.

I really do enjoy the game, but a lot of people are way too ready to ignore how shallow a fair bit of the content really is.

People will defend it tooth and nail because it reviewed well and has been re-released so many times. Which is fine. It’s a good game, for sure, but it’s far from being perfect and, honestly, I don’t think it would have been quite as well received if it didn’t have The Elder Scrolls lore supporting it.

I find the lifespan of the consoles is just getting shorter and shorter. The 360 lasted me around 12 years, good on gaming. And then it was great for another 4 to entertain my younger cousins and Netflix for my grandparents.

My Xbox one lasted me about 6 years, and I will admit it was a great space heater for the really cold nights. But it slowed down the last 2 years and then just blatantly died.

I am now on the series S. i got it November 2021, and while I’m sure I have a few years with it yet, I think I see it going as far as 4 years, from what other people have been saying their lifespan doesn’t really get your moneys worth for the console.

Not only that, but Xbox support went from being reasonable, to slow, to rude, to non existent.

My experience has just gone downhill more than up, my next gaming system is probably not going to be xbox

Minecraft tf2 and roblox

Xbox Series X/S only has 3 current gen exclusive games and one of those is available on PS5. You can play every game on an Xbox One.

I was in a similar situation, struggling to choose one. Even though I've always had PlayStations and recently been a pc player since 2016, I ended up getting an Xbox. Main reason was that it was easier to get hold of and that it's possible to get gamepass for around £1/2 a month using third party sites, whereas there's no cheaper way of obtaining any of the ps plus tiers.

I was originally leaning towards a ps5 as I prefer the controller layout as that's what I'm used to, and the fact that it takes normal gen 4 nvme drives is a huge bonus and like 50% cheaper for a gen 4 drive, but in the long run, the Xbox ends up being cheaper for me. Xbox was £400 compared to 396 for the ps5 (digital 389 + £6 postage) but then 2 years of gamepass ultimate is gonna cost roughly £50 compared to 160 for ps+ extra. Making the Xbox cost 450 over two years while the ps5 would cost £556 roughly. Money isn't really an issue, but I do prefer to save money where I can.

Exclusives are definitely better on ps, but I don't feel like I'm really missing out on anything.

Ultimately go with your gut. You can't go wrong with either system, they're both great and have their own advantages and disadvantages but you'll be happy with either one.

thank you, realest advice i’ve gotten this far

As far as I know yeah. It's just like making an account for anything else nowadays. You make a username, put in some basic stuff like name age DOB, they'll want a credit card for buying games and subscriptions, the usual. Setting up my new Xbox I just plugged it in, put in the wifi, connected the controller, logged in to my account, it did a quick update, download games, done.

If you really want one over the other that's fine, they're both great. The real thing you should evaluate is which console has the games you want to play. Performance, UI, storage, all that is pretty negligible in my book. Controller if that's a big deal to you.

yea, i really don’t. i’m just trying to start on a console and deal with two devoted fans in my ear. thank you for your input tho, do you really think there’s no difference in how easy the consoles are to set up and use?

I'm gonna be honest I have no idea what you're talking about and neither do you lol. If you don't already have an account you make one. That's it. If you do, you log in. I'm an Xbox guy now but I also have a PS4 and a PS2 so I'm not a fan boy. I can think of several real reasons why you might choose a PS5 over an Xbox but I'm not sure what they mean by Xbox hates us or what you're referring to.

It sounds like you made up your mind already but don't have any reasons or idea why lol.

My dude come on

i guess i don’t remember specifics, just that if you don’t already have an account and years of achievements it’s easier to start with playstation. do you disagree? i’d like your thoughts

What is Microsoft making harder and how? Lol I still have no idea what you guys are talking about

[deleted]

i like the xbox x for the size and look of the console but my brother had mentioned microsoft making things harder for its users. just reaffirmed that the ps5 is probably what i need.

Oh wow, I personally consider The Last of Us the closest to perfection that I've seen.

I thought Part 2 was very unpredictable and fresh. The pacing sucked but that's it.

What does this mean lol
