Reply to I need advice, I don't know which one is the best deal. (PS4 or XBOX360) by Ambitious_Guidance69

Last year I went for an Xbox 360 for £50 over a PS3 (note: not a 4) that was priced a little higher, and I'm happy with my choice for that generation. You can still get loads of games and controllers/accessories for it should you ever need any, and there's plenty of dlc still out there. Although earlier models had hardware issues a refurbished or later console ought to last a little while, but that price is a bit high. If you want the most advanced console for your money get the PS4, as it is a step on from the 360. It's what I plan to upgrade to.

If you have the PS4 version you're free to download and play that from your external drive if you want. Perfect example is Elden Ring - the most performant way to play it was to run the PS4 version on PS5, and that's what I did. I still owned the PS5 version as well, and only download that for a look at a later date. If you tried to do this on a Series console, it would force you to play the Series-enhanced version.

What version you get is publisher dependent. Some will stick the PS4+PS5 versions together as one purchase, some will have seperate versions (I've noticed this does happen on Xbox as well), some are selective about what you have to buy (for Elden Ring I had to buy the PS4 version, which included the PS5, but didn't the other way around).

Nope. Don’t forget that native PS5 games use kraken compression. Typically, games are smaller install sizes on PS5 than Series X. Also, because PS5 uses m.2 nvme SSD, you can buy any off the shelf ssd and install it yourself (needs to match or exceed PS5 specs). Costs have dropped drastically for these making them generally cheaper than the Series X option.

You mentioned PS5 exclusives. If you like what you see, get that.

I personally have both and mainly use the PS5 including for game purchases. I only use Xbox for GP day 1 releases, Halo MP (have the Halo Series X) and fps boosted games.

PS5 also has the Dualsense which has been absolutely amazing. Returnal is a game that is a treat on the system and is available on the PS Plus sub along with other exclusives.
