120 fps on a lot of games(including MW2)which I play which is why I upgraded from ps4 to ps5 but apart from that there's not too much more to it other than the nice new menu screen and the controller

I’ve always been a loyal PlayStation user, and that’s not going to change. Nothing wrong with Xbox, I just stick with what I know.

I upgraded from a ps4 to a Xbox series x at the start of this month.

I have been a long time PS user and haven’t used an Xbox since the 360.

Pros:

The obvious things are the graphics/load times and anything else you would expect from an upgrade and massively noticeable come from one to the other.

All my mates have a PS5 but I can still play the games we played together via crossplay.

Game pass….it’s just amazing

Console is so quiet it makes me smile when I realised that there I sent a turbo jet trying ti take off from my table

Cons:

Controller….don’t get me wrong, the controller layout is great but it feels so cheap. From the trigger buttons feeling horrible to the vibration being so bad it’s the first thing I turn off in games all the way to the Xbox button needing to be pressed very specifically to register that you are actually pressing it. it’s just not a good controller imo.

The dashboard. This is something that has taken me weeks to fully understand. Coming from the ps4 where things were clean, you will be coming into a world of chaos and confusion, from randomly ads to really bad customisation.

I have learnt over the weeks to just got to one specific tab which shows all my games and apps…why there isn’t an option just to open to that I don’t know.

All that being said, I love the Xbox. I can forgive the controller and crappy UI now that I have gotten used to it.

If there is any disappointment from your spouse just tell them that’s it’s the more powerful console then looks then in the eyes, pull them close and whisper “elder scrolls six” that should get the juices flowing

I have played both consoles and I will say in my opinion xbox has a more simple ui however playstation has nkre collabs and the subscriptions are cheaper and give you more but some of the xboxs parts are better than the playstation causing better game performance b

As a conclusion i would stick to playstation coming from a current xbox player

Better loads times, controller, more fps. That alone is worth the upgrade

but the speed. an optical disc doesn't have the same read-write speed as that of an NVMe PCIe SSD. what we (or at least I) want is a non-volatile storage with high speed, used for physical games.

Well, considering that we had our PS4 unplugged and on a shelf for about 6 months and fired it up today and are suddenly locked out of our accounts - yep. It's for LITERALLY no (valid) reason. It's certainly not a mistake I somehow made while my fucking console was shelved, genius. Be sus I guess.

Also as I said, I don't have a "local" anything. I live on a fucking island bruh.

Congratulations, you contributed nothing to this conversation except to be an irritating force in the universe.

That was one thing I was taking into consideration. Microsoft seems to have been putting in the time and energy that will get a bigger projected pay-off down the road...

I just saw a couple of PS5s in my local Target, and I heard others same the same about Walmart, FWIW.

XBOX/PS, whatever. It's totally up to the person playing. I went from PS to Xbox to PS.

If this is a gift for someone else, and they actually wanted a PS5, and you don't know them well enough to know that they'd be totally happy with an Xbox, I'd go for that PS5. Or at least have a real talk.

Also, I am always very sus of anything that includes "and they x for literally no reason". There's always a reason. It might be a mistake, sure, but who knows which end that mistake is on. :-)

PS had that leak. Sucked. Pretty much every major website has had some sort of suck at some point. One Christmas I got a whole bunch of Xbox points and redeemed them on my account, and the next day my account was hacked and everything was gone. My account was locked all the way through Christmas, and given back to me a little over a week later, saying "only put the credit you'll use right away on there at a time". I was off that whole time, and wasn't when I got it back. Sucked.

Yeah if the choice is between PS5 and switch I’d always recommend switch

I did. Was a PS2 guy, Xbox 360 guy, PS4 guy, Series X guy. I'm not a fan boy I go for whatever I think is best each generation. I think it's too early to say! The consoles are virtually the same performance and capability wise so it's games that matter. I don't particularly care for the PlayStation exclusives, I bought Xbox this time because of all the studios Microsoft bought and hoping it pays off in the future. They're still making games for last gen and I'm still playing last gen games!

So far I've been impressed by Microsoft, I think they're much more user and customer friendly bc gaming is just a tiny chunk of their business they don't need to milk every dollar out of you. They claim they lose money on every console yet haven't raised the price yet. The Series S is a budget option that's still decent for a lot of people. Games were $60 until now. Game pass is great value. I've been overall impressed by ordering directly from Microsoft, and bought the headset and rechargeable battery as well. Seems like quality at a fair price. Overall with all the acquisitions I just see them moving in the right direction.

Do you have proof I am a troll? You can't just assume things!

How am I a troll?! I'm serious?!

I can tell you are a troll. I will be responding no longer. Goodbye.

Why are there two methods? Just stick with one!

Why?

Personally I don't see the need to upgrade from a ps4 to ps5 just yet as there aren't any stand out games worth it that you can't already play on the ps4. I've got a ps4 and will be buying myself the series X after Christmas, I'll still be keeping the ps4 too so I am able to play the console exclusives. The only pro you need about the series X is it has High on Life and PlayStation doesn't 😅

There are quadruple-layer blue-ray discs that hold 128GB now. A blue-ray disc is 4.7 inches, so if you had larger discs of say 7 inches you could more than double that to at least 256GB easily.

Snes, Legend of Zelda : a link to the past. I cannot count the number of time i replayed the game.

What are you talking about? Xbox controllers have the option of putting in batteries or plugging it in via USB.

I guess

Also, is there two different methods for putting charging your controller, it doesn't make sense.

And putting switching batteries is faster than putting a charger?

I can use a usb on my Xbox controller lmao, works the exact same

Well, sticking a charger to a controller will take you maybe a millisecond.
