I got that deal for 3 years of game pass and live for about €130 a few days ago. It will be well worth it I reckon
Gaming PS5 vs Xbox Series S|X
- Thread starter afrocentricity
- Start date
I don't game enough to see the value at that price (I'm likely to dip in and out of gamepass on PC, or maybe XBsS if we get some compelling exclusive gameplay). When it was $1 though
Fussed about what? You not buying a console just for day one releases. Most people are buying it for 5 years, so the exclusives will come. MS haven’t bought all these studios to be sitting. Halo was supposed to be the launch game. It got delayed and rightly so.
PS charging £70 quid to play old games matey. @esmufc07 can lap it up all he wants. But I don’t think he’s going to be rushing out to buy sackboys adventure.
I actually think Sackboy looks a lot of fun but yeah I can’t justify the price so I’ll wait until it comes down a bit.

Fussed about the lack of gameplay videos after Craig's appearance
Must I spell everything out?

Because you pretty much made it clear since Series x has been announced that you have no interest in getting one even to the point you got triggered when MS bought Bethesda. So yes, please do spell it out. Your concern trolling is hilarious.
The Medium
I already posted it but you weren't paying attention. Looks good, and is on gamepass day 1 (a month after console launch)
It is on Windows so is not exclusive to XSX. Try again please.
With that studio roster it's clear the games are coming and there will be some top games at that.
Why wait and save a little money when it's gonna be a great third party machine with a ton of QOL improvements and the best subscription in gaming.
The PS5 is in the same boat. All the decent early games are on PS4 and when we look back at the end of the generation nobody is going to be talking about a Spiderman expansion.
Xbox has done enough this gen to show they are on an upwards trajectory and the recent investments bring a lot of confidence. The pro consumer experience has been strong and the console is clearly really well made considering the previews, analysis and just how confident MS are putting it in journos hands so early in an uncontrolled environment.
It's my PS5 pre order I'm not sure whether to keep
I'm getting PS5 for VR. Without that its a harder sell. XBox? I'll wait for now...
Because it’s the only thing they can say to try and get one over now they’re beat on literally everything.
That and the Xbox controller not including the play and charge kit.
Won't they all work on PS4? Not that it matters. Just, aren't you worrying about cancelling with not much announced exclusive for PS5...
Will the output be different on PS5 Vs PS4 if the same headset (genuine question)
Really? Does that include imminent games?
It's a much more powerful box, there are already exclusives announced. It's much more compelling if you have PSVR as you can get better resolutions and FPS, better super sampling, and potentially better tracking. Games that weren't ported due to weaker hardware are now possible too.
What are the vr exclusives announced and when are they coming?
All seem like good reasons. Just the same as ours for Xbox which were apparently so laughable.
PS4 had exclusives that have reasonably instilled faith and excitement in consumers for what's to come next. I mean, leaving aside the fact that I feel PlayStation exclusives generally tend to be miles better, something like God of War is worth having the console (although no game is actually worth a console). Xbox has Halo, Gears etc as their supposed landmark games which just don't have the same appeal imo.
Why would it just include imminent games?
I’m going to be playing Cyberpunk and AC Valhalla and I would be if I was getting a PlayStation as well.
I asked this in the Xbox thread, but I just wanted to clarify, does Gamepass ultimate give you permanent access to the first party MS exclusives on day one, or do they tend to be limited runs?
If it's the former, then how are Microsoft expected to make their money?
If it's the former, then how are Microsoft expected to make their money?
I think it's the latter. Don't think they've removed any exclusives to this point and can't see them doing so going forward.
Of course, you don't get permanent access, you need to have an active subscription.
The answer is probably, yeah. Too early to say for definite, but they surely will be permanent.
They make their money from the game pass sub.
It’s great value, but there’s definitely good money to be made from the consistent subscription. I could get rid of game pass for months at a time, while playing other stuff, but don’t really bother, so that’s money in the bank for them that they wouldn’t have otherwise.
Plus they’re playing the long game. The price will no doubt start creeping up once enough people are in.
Hitman 3 and Lofi. A PS5 powered RE8, No Man's Sky and SW Squadrons is mouthwatering too...
I dunno... I kinda feel like games are important. Games, and gameplay video, something to show me why I should get the box, what it can do...Why would it just include imminent games?
Sorry yeah, I should have clarified, permanent in the sense of it permanently being on the platform as opposed to it permanently being in the user's local library.
I said it before in the other thread, but wow. That's a ridiculous deal.
I've got the PS5 pre-ordered but the XSX via All Access with no up front payment is so tempting. I'll hold off on getting it until the first party XSX exclusives start trickling through but definitely would be one that's on my radar in any case.
Thanks for the clarification, mate.
And when are they all out? For PSVR on PD5 without PS4 able to play them (since you wouldn't be interested then)?
Totally. It's an investment in the next 5 years and not just the first few months.
This was the point I was making.
@afrocentricity an Xbox is for life, not just for Christmas
We know how capable the machine is though. And we have games. I dunno why you’re intent on making out that most games aren’t third party anyway.
2 are already out and 2 are scheduled to be out in the next 6 months sooo...
Sooner than your Bethesda exclusives. Nice try though...
All I've seen is Craig and various current Gen remasters. If I'm missing something post them here so we can take a look, that's what the threads for. @Alock1 mentioned The Medium. It's something but it's not compelling... For me anyway.
Again, Cyberpunk and AC are out at release, plus the new cod is out soon. It doesn’t have to be an exclusive to be worth playing.
Oh they're out? But they're PS5 only right? Cause if they're on PS4 you aren't interested. No?
I guess I should start claiming Gears 5, Forza Horizon 2 and others that will have a day 1 patch as exclusives.
We both know it doesn't matter what exclusives they put on, you won't be buying one. They could make PSVR an Xbox exclusive and you'd move to a cardboard box VR instead.
Although if you think Halo and Gears will be the landmark games this gen......
I think Bethesda alone have enough faith, never mind playground games and some of the other great studios MS has pulled together.
Now why would I do that, I wanted XBox to have VR but apparently XBox gamers don't want it, according to Phil... Not good news for someone like me is it? Don't take it personally...
Why zero in on the 2 that are out (that I mentioned as nice-to-haves) instead of the ones that are coming? You're all over the place here son. This has been fun, but I think you're taking this a bit personally maybe?
It's not like you to get carried away is it?
Nothing personal taken. I'm the one who has both consoles and can just enjoy the chat for the chat.
I don't work with MS directly anymore so all good on that front. Quantum Break (it's basically the precursor to Control which has turned out to be a fantastic game by all accounts) showed a lot of promise and Scalebound too. Shame.
Funny how VR is majorly important all of a sudden
Good because I'm mostly just trolling.
I mentioned it as a factor on the very first page. Do keep up...Funny how VR is majorly important all of a sudden
In fact:
This is on the very first page. You can do better VV. Take a break and come back refreshed...
I don’t need to, I’m getting the best console for someone who doesn’t care about VR.
Which is basically everybody (but afro and 4 others)
I love it guys, what can I say... System seller for me.
Or new games evidently....
