Reply to comment by Deafvoid in Interested in starting using a console, no idea what to buy or where to start (console brand/type, games, subscriptions, stores, etc.) I literally have no experience, any advice welcome by Tryanother69420

Lol I’m more of a Nintendo guy. I like RPGs, farming and building (both survival and large scale cities or bases). Also interested in science. Maybe cars too. Generally open to new stuff!

I mean it depends on exclusives. Do you like Bethesda games? Obsidian? Then get an Xbox. That’s the only reason why I keep mine tbh. For when those get released.

But honestly they have not had a quality exclusive in recent memory. Especially not the last 2 years I don’t even think they’ve had any except for Halo and that is mid.

Yes, worth it. Have both and a pc and steam deck. Every platform is worth it in a different way. Quick resume on series x is one of the best quality of life features for gaming in recent memory.

Gamepass is the best thing about xbox, especially considering you can get if for the same price as gold using the old gold codes and buying one month of game pass method

Not in my opinion. I have the PS5 with PlayStation Plus as well as a Nintendo Switch OLED. PS5 more than covers my gaming desires and the Switch OLED is there for games that I cannot play on PS5 such as Zelda BOTW and Triangle Strategy.

Unless there is something that you just HAVE to play on Xbox, I would save your money.

Reply to You buy a Playstation 4 on Amazon. They send you a Playstation 5. You play it online. Amazon registers it as stolen and it becomes unplayable. What would you do? by THEY_CALL_ME_FACE

Amazon has no way of keeping an inventory of individual PS5's like that. Each PS5 has a way of ID'ing itself to PSN once it's turned on and you have signed into PSN. So you stole a PS5 and are wondering how to get it unbanned? You can't. You have a banned console now and you ruined someones day. Fuck you.

I have both and what I will say is that having a Series X with Gamepass (or a series s for that matter) will save you money in the long run, I cannot tell you how many games I have discovered through Gamepass, games I would never have considered purchasing but are now some of my favourite games. Get a Series console, get 3 years of Gamepass using the gold conversion trick (look it up on YouTube) and play away my friend, a day one game release every 10 days on average is nothing to be sniffed at
