Okay good for you, most people don't have a PS3 and a PS2. To me, nothing but exclusives kinda sucks. That's a pretty lame selling point especially when a majority of exclusives end up going to other platforms anyway.

I've a Series X and a PS5. While the pimped out older games on Series X is nice, it's a pretty fucking lame selling point for a new console in 2022.

If I want to play PS3 and PS2 games, I have a PS3 and PS2 (turns out, I've already played most of them to death, so I don't actually want to play them).

You mean controller or keyboard?

Friend? Shes not going to bang you bro. Save your money

Yup exactly

Brain implants is where it's at!

There won’t be a television

Hopefully devs Will give us a option to decide who we want to play with.

Crossplay is usually an option you can shut off in settings. BTW I use a controller playing cod on pc and and I'm always on top. Might want to look at tips and tricks + settings to increase your game experience. You got this.

I think Google stadia was onto something. With this generation of consoles manufacturers are figuring out that hardware doesn't make a lot of money but games do. So I'm thinking that future consoles will just be a Roku like stick that just streams games from a central server.

I'm switching from PS5 because it kinda sucks. I've always been a ps fan but I've been super disappointed lately. The new subscription tiers suck, the controller is worse, you're more likely to be banned and you can't even play offline games when you're banned. So that's just money down the drain.

Gamepass is alright, don't care about day one releases. Kinda nutty the price is double of ps+. Larger selection of games and better selection though. Also better about bans and better customer support.

Tldr; Ps only has exclusives

Right but if you want to play older games like PS3 and PS2, you have to get the premium tier. Also Xbox will optimize old games like New Vegas while ps doesn't.

Alright! Thanks!

110 is a bit pricey. If its a slim and not a super slim and you want it, sure! Just so you know, I have my doubts the shop will have done much if any work on it.

Please please mod it. Most people are running their system with the stock thermal paste but the only way to check temps and control fan speed is to mod it. There's good step by step guides on how to mod but it will likely take a day of reading before you're comfortable with it.

If it has the original drive be prepared to replace it. In fact, if this is gonna see heavy-ish use, I'd swap the HDD day one and blow out the dust. Consider repasting if comfortable.

If you are 100% gonna mod it, it is worth checking the slim's serial number. While a vast majority of slims can run custom firmware (as opposed to HEN which superslims have), my recollection is some late slims cannot run CFE and can only do HEN.

KEEP MY CONSOLES NAME, OUT YOUR GOD DAMN MOUTH!

OP said their options were PS5 and Series X and your advice is OP should go the PC route... slowclap

I dont like using batteries for a controller. Id rather just charge the controller in the night and play during the day, with a charging station.

I have a PS4, saving to upgrade to 5.

PS has way better graphics that can do 4k and 1080p both at 120fps. Xbox can do both. I heard both has Discord but Xbox has better integration than PS. I also just dont like how the left xbox controller joystick is further away than the right joystick, a bit too uncomfortable for me. In terms of games, PS has put a paywall behind PS Now making it unable to play older PlayStation titles. Xbox has way better backward compatibility. I, as a ps user envy how cheap xbox game pass is: £20 to Sony's £50. But, PS has 12 main exclusive titles that follow:

Astro’s Playroom

Deathloop

Demon’s Souls

Destruction AllStars

Final Fantasy VII Remake Intergrade

Ghostwire: Tokyo

Gran Turismo 7

Horizon Forbidden West

Ratchet & Clank: Rift Apart

Returnal

Spider-Man: Miles Morales

Sackboy: A Big Adventure

... compared to Xbox's 3

Forza Horizon 5

Halo Infinite

Microsoft Flight Simulator

I personally think that both are good and there is no true winner- but I'd go for PC

Last of us is coming to pc later on.

If the cpu and ram isn't terrible on your laptop you could probably just get an external gpu, though that comes with alot of cons and a hefty price. (even for just the case)

The original xbox games that are backwards compatible are really good choices though, plus they are 1440p 30fps minimum on next gen.

Switch pros: Portable, supports more modern games than you would expect, tons of exclusives, some backwards compatibility (NSO and ports), pro controller is awesome

Switch cons: Weird controllers, joycon drift, less powerful, awful online

series x so they can buy used games. digital prices are so crazy sometimes even with discounts
