Xbox game pass makes the Xbox the best for me.

I bought my son the ps5 for his birthday and it’s a very good system (although I’m not a fan of the way it looks), I just get more use out of Xbox because of all the games I get via game pass. The PlayStation alternative is still in its infancy and I was very disappointed I couldn’t play the original metal gear solid in its classic games library.

But with any system, if it’s got the games you like and you like to play it then it’s good for you.

I think I’ll hang out a while longer…. Maybe wait into the new year and decide then. I haven’t had a console in years but I’m eager to get one now.

It's not a bad idea. A slim is due in a year or so, maybe less. Ignore all these dummy early adopters that say there won't be a slim. Of course there will be a slim model. And a Pro model. They've already proven they can sell slims and mid-gen upgrades. So why would they not capitalize on that?

But the savings cost in buying the digital edition is soon lost in the savings you can make buying prowned games, so at this point in time OP might as well buy the disc version now rather than wait for the possibility of a slim version

I'm a playstation person but from experience and seeing how it's gone for so many others, xbox is currently better. I've owned 3 ps5s and 2 broke.

1st one broke the same day (system just wouldn't connect to anything then would freeze constantly).

2nd broke after if over heated after 3 weeks. (Barely played it due to working alot) but sent it back and there was a power issue in the console itself.

The 3rd I'm currently using crashes alot. Contacted Sony and there are alot of issues still.

Xbox friends are happy playing so, I'm pretty jealous. A real let down the ps5

The purpose of "slim" versions is to reduce cost of production by eliminating as many parts as possible. Right now the digital edition only has one moving part, the fan. If they do make a slim it will be in years time.

Imagine trying to keep console wars alive. What a clown.

The real war is against the shitty things the corporations do that help ruin this industry.
