In the latest episode of the United Hour Podcast, Nik @Rood and Imran @Annihilate Now! start with the good news by celebrating Manchester United Women's emphatic FA Cup win over Spurs at Wembley and the future of manager Marc Skinner.
Then it's the bad news and the ever worsening form of our Men with losses to Arsenal and Palace.
Finally the main debate - ETH Out now or keep him until the end of the season - if not longer. Are you Team Nik or Team Imran?
499 for Series X and 299 for lockheart.
So predictions, will the PS5 be higher, same or lower than the Series X?

I’d be surprised if it was higher. I’ll say £499. £449 seems a bit too cheap.
Can we have a poll @Damien to see which console people are going to buy
Xbox Series X
Xbox Series S Last Gen Edition
PS5
PS5 Digital
Xbox Series X
Xbox Series S Last Gen Edition
PS5
PS5 Digital
No need. Polls are shit. People tend to vote for stupid stuff, see Brexit and Trump as main examples.
Are you getting both or just one for now?
Both. One of them should pay for itself if I can be bothered selling my pro or x. Probably keep them if I can’t play all my PS4 or Xbox one games.
I think the same for the disc version but they will be a bit higher on the digital side as it's not a different spec, £499 and £399 is my guess.
I’ll be double dipping in to a PS5 and a 3070 graphics card for my PC. I’ll then be buying an Xbox next year. Looking at my current catalogue of games to play, I have a build up of PS4 titles that I need to get round to playing where as I only have a couple on Xbox of note (including Doom Eternal which is next up for me).
I will definitely be part ex’ing my PS4 Pro at Game as they often do a trade in bonus for buying the new console which makes it’d value pretty much the same as they’d sell used (less hassle for me). The question is do I trade my One X too or keep that until I get the Series X in 2021?
my biggest issue is my three best mates who don’t live locally all play Xbox online so that’s where we often play together yet I prefer the single player experiences on PS

S is priced at £250 so they didn’t just do what most companies do with the currency. So I presume the series X is going to be £450.
I'm still no closer to deciding which I want.
I'm not getting it, but this is very cheap. It also means the Series X will be £449 in the UK.

I think the PS5 will be £449 and £399.
The price of that series S is making me consider getting both the PS5 and Series S
Which is pretty much Microsoft's endgame. They know it's pretty much impossible to sway people away from PS's who've had them for years and enjoyed the exclusives so if they can get them on Gamepass for £250 then that's mission accomplished. Very clever from them.
Good price, still.... No games that I'm really interested in. Prob get gamepass on PC (at some point) to go with PS5.
I can't state enough how good Gamepass is. I remember I got it free for 6 months or something last year when I built my PC thinking I'd never use the thing and I haven't unsubbed since, there's just so much good shit constantly going on to it. It's such good value for €4 it should be fecking illegal. MS know this too which is why they've basically built a console around it.
They are currently monitoring the price at the moment. They’ve been in intense talks with the makers and we’ll see what happens next. Agent fees have been agreed.
Less compelling when your gaming backlog is 100s deep though
Hopefully it's still that price when I get around to it.
So Alanah Pearce, not sure exactly who she is but it was recommended to me on YouTube, pointed out an interesting thing. You can supposedly buy these via ‘xbox all access’ which seems to be a monthly financing option PLUS game pass. So the series s will be $25 a month and the series x will be $35 a month. That means minus the $10’a month for game pass and you pay your consoles off in 2 years. Like a mobile phone. This makes the console names make sense - it mirrors phone names and how year on year they are iterative and seem to have a less powerful and more powerful version. So maybe after 2 years we will now see the Xbox series x2 which is slightly more powerful than the series x etc etc.
Quite a few journalists have been expecting this to happen for a while ever since the xbone x and PS4 pro were announced.

God that sounds like abit of a nightmare for me. I’m the kind of person that likes to get their tech at the start and then not worry about it for the next lifecycle. I never got the Pro for that reason. I think I’ll be pretty disappointed if that’s the way the industry is going, but it makes sense as another cash grab.
"One ps5, 2 dualsenses and gran turismo 7 please. Oh an a side of ratchet and clank"
Especially with an American company at the helm. Products as a service are all the rage nowadays in the American digital market.
I can only hope that Sony stays away from that model as I think ultimately it’s quite anti-consumer.
At the start of the year I was all in on getting a PS5 at launch, but I honestly don't feel either Sony or Microsoft have made compelling enough arguments to make buying a new console this year worthwhile.
Just my personal opinion of course, but I think these consoles will really shine in a year or two when they have a solid foundation of decent exclusives; I'm happy to wait until then.

I'll have two number 9s, a number 9 large, a number 6 with extra dip, a number 7, two number 45s, one with cheese, and a large soda
Me too. I was initially just going to buy a PS5 but that Series S price at £250 looks very tempting to buy that too. Wasn’t expecting it to be that cheap.
It’s pretty poor that we don’t even know the prices yet.
And then?
Last gen Xbox @£249.99 is good entry price into next gen gaming apparently.
So wait - is the Series S better than a current mid-range PC or not?
To maximise your tv spec you’re going to want the most powerful console, which is the Series X.So I recently purchased an LG OLED TV (LG OLED55CX5LB) as it scored highly on TVs compatible with the PS5, but im not entirely sure why as im not completely tech savy when it comes to 4k, UHD 4k, 8k, HDR10, HDR10+ ETC.
Is anyone able to advise me what PS5 to get to fully maximise my TVs spec? Like i know my TV won't be 8k, but i know there's something to do with frame rates and stuff.
You silly silly bastard
You don’t know anything about tech specs, as you’ve said. Leave it to the experts
Or even better just leave @esmufc07.
You should have left after last week, where your outburst left one member in tears. Do the right thing for a change.
