When you go online it registers your Player Name and age. That would be hard to deny. Plus it's an open product. The person who purchased it is responsible if it was opened.

Sell it lmao

I wouldn’t have opened and played it I mean. I would have returned it when I saw that I had received the wrong item

Play dumb. Tell them a 6 year old opened it as it was a present - they didn't know the difference between 4/5.

How would you explain to them the fact that you decided to keep and play it online? They would notice it was opened and registered as stolen.

What would you do?

It's just a hypothetical question to see what most people would do. Some people might try different things.

I would have reported receiving the wrong item and gone about returning it. Mainly as, you know, it wasn’t what I bought.

This seems like a very specific situation OP, are you uh... *coughs* asking for a friend?

Yeah nahh, I'm not arguing against the PS5 here. It's the console I use the most. My main point is that there will always be exclusives on the other side that you want. So get both.

The controller on ps5 and 3D audio! I also have both but every none exclusive runs better on series X. Just in love with the ps5 controller and the audio chip in the ps5.

For $120 you can get ps ultimate and get all the exclusives for free . Death stranding, Spider-Man, demons souls and more . Ps5 is decent everything plays at a slightly lower resolution under pressure where series X has a bit more power to stay closer to 4K . Ps5 went slightly less powerful for more features like the controller and 3D audio and a fast SSD .

No

Xbox

Yes

I wouldn‘t. With the Xbox you have a solid next gen option and a very good deal with gamepass. There will be some good new exclusives on Xbox too

I have both consoles and in my opinion the experience on Xbox is so much better. But you know best what you want and you should do what makes you happy

The “noteworthy” games are car games… forza which to be totally honest doesn’t appeal to me. I find Xbox very much a shooter gamer type console if you’re mostly online and mostly into car… shooters and similar it’s probably better… but for me I prefer RPG, JRPG so yeah

Yea people keep saying 'the studios the studios' but they aren't actually producing anything noteworthy.

>Not milk the franchises to death with remakes.

So, about Gears of War Ultimate, Halo Masterchief Collection, Fable Anniversary...

Funny how you claim the company that are milking franchises to death in the last few years have gone in heavily on new IPs that have received critical and commercial acclaim like Ghost of Tsushima, Death Stranding, Returnal, Spider-Man, completely rebooted one of their biggest franchises (God of War), and released only the first sequels to The Last of Us and Horizon, all the while Microsoft have given Gears 5, Forza Horizon 5, and Halo 8.

Cherry picking info is fun though, isn't it?

No

Go ps5

Microsoft buying studios (and let's not forget the Acti-Blizz deal is under a lot of scrutiny and hasn't actually been finalised) won't magically produce good games. If Halo - their flagship title - is anything to go by, and the fact that they've so far managed all of three "next gen" games in the last two years (only one of which is actually exclusive to the Series platform), there's a serious issue with mismanagement of their studios.

Sony have already proven they know how to pump out high quality titles at on a consistent basis, and there's nothing to suggest that's about to change.
