Reply to comment by beerovios in Best living room console? by beerovios

Once you hack it you can't play any modern games as they ALL require internet connectivity and all the hacks I know of brick/ban internet connection for them.

​

RetroPie is super easy to set up, but the Pi is a hot commodity right now.

Is this really something you have to ask? I have a ps5 and it's the best console I have ever played. I have had a switch and I dont reccomend getting one. A couple months of having one you'll get so much stick drift that it isnt funny. I suggest getting a ps5 man.

I would've said PS5 6 months ago. Moved to Xbox and it's a much better experience in terms of value for money and performance though i miss ps ability to capture audio video natively, my friends who had ps, and the dual sense controller.

I checked the price on series S because someone wrote in another comment that you can hack-install emulators. It seems fine it's around 250-300 euro. So I will check the tutorials and see... I guess if it's easier than a pie and cheaper than a Business PC it's worth it since I will also be able to play modern games and have controllers and stuff already setup.

Sounds like you're leaning heavily towards the Xbox anyway. Just go with that.

Go for the Xbox Series X if you are able. No matter what.

Go for the S if you do not use Disks, if you're impatient, and want a console now.

It will take around another 4 years for this gen to become outdated. So no worry there. Also, your performance specifications are met on the Xbox, either one you choose. In the event that your console does break (even though it is highly unlikely to do so on its own when using it as intended), send it into a repair place. Get the warranty if you can.
