I've played Touryst, Tetris, Forza, Gears, and a bit of Skate 3. It's been great.
Id be busy downloading all my games and calculating storage spaces. Spiderman will most likely be my first game on PS.I’ll be continuing Hollow Knight for the first few days
I wouldn't say garbage at all (unless you mean the endless fifa/madden/hockeys), but definitely needs freshening and desperately needs some next gen content. But that will come.Yeah I did that with PS Now the other week. 85% of what’s on there is garbage. I’d imagine the same is the case with game pass
Nope. Between Xbox and PC there's a wealth of top class games.Yeah I did that with PS Now the other week. 85% of what’s on there is garbage. I’d imagine the same is the case with game pass
Shut up dude.Series X seems to be a let down on the power front. It's not even matching the PS5 performance, so far. Games are not native 4k when they should be.
I'm not a graphics guy, so I don't really care. But I know that many will.

STOP THE COMPARISONS! ONLY COMPARE MS GAMES!Shut up dude.
Play Forza and Gears. Those are the best looking games on the system because the devs had more time with the new development tools than Ubisoft who do a crappy job regardless. Watchdogs and Valhalla ain’t looking too great on 3090s either matey.
DMC runs better on Series X. It’s just for some reason the 120fps mode runs better on the PS5, which suggests again poor optimisation and again it was a rush job port. Most these cross gen games are rush job ports due to the pandemic and devs having to develop for more systems.
Gears 1 still looks great to be fair. The games may have dropped off in quality at times, but the attention to detail has always been outstanding.Playing Gears 5 for the past week which is a last gen game and I am very impressed with the visuals
I think it’s a cracking piece of kit and getting used to the messy UI
Do you mean the Gears remake?STOP THE COMPARISONS! ONLY COMPARE MS GAMES!

The only complaint I have against the UI is that I wish they put settings as one of the icons on the guide. It takes one too many presses to get to.Playing Gears 5 for the past week which is a last gen game and I am very impressed with the visuals

I had a better time with it today. Not sure why you're on my ass today.Forgot that.
Hows your elite controller? Remember one more strike and you are out.
On your what?I had a better time with it today. Not sure why you're on my ass today.
Nope, I mean the original. It still holds up much better than it has any right to.Do you mean the Gears remake?
Yep, the settings are stupidly hidden away. I think the same about profiles. In fact the whole thing is weird, if you load into a game and then switch profile, surely the game should just go back to menu and let you pick your playthrough? Instead you have to open the menu, come out of the profile screen and RB to the tab that lets you add the profile you want to use, then go back to the game which then automatically resumes as the original profile until you pause it, then it asks if you want to switch profile (which you clearly already did), then finally takes you back to the menu to begin again.The only complaint I have against the UI is that I wish they put settings as one of the icons on the guide.

This bit is true. Getting to settings is way too tedious a process and something you'd hope would be faster.The only complaint I have against the UI is that I wish they put settings as one of the icons on the guide. It takes one too many presses to get to.
Here in India, the new one with the USB C just does not exist anywhere. Will need to make do with rechargeable AA batteries.Anybody else bought the recharge battery? I thought they were all sold out but it turns out that's just Amazon.
Lucky bastard! I’m still desperately searching everyday trying to buy a Series X before Christmas.I've played Touryst, Tetris, Forza, Gears, and a bit of Skate 3. It's been great.
Got mines from Norway by asking Microsoft chat advisor. Stroke of luck really.Lucky bastard! I’m still desperately searching everyday trying to buy a Series X before Christmas.
There like gold dust at the moment, the little stock that does appear from time to time is instantly hoovered up by fecking scalpers.
Out of stock for meAvailable right now on Smyths Toys!
I must have got lucky I just happened to check the site and noticed the home delivery option was available which wasn’t before so I waited a couple mins and refreshed a few times and it came up add to basket, my bloody hands were shaking trying to type so fastOut of stock for me
If you were really lucky you would have found PS5 stock.I must have got lucky I just happened to check the site and noticed the home delivery option was available which wasn’t before so I waited a couple mins and refreshed a few times and it came up add to basket, my bloody hands were shaking trying to type so fast
I would keep an eye out cause it must have only been a minute or two and it’s out of stock again. They may add more yet, I just hope everything’s ok with the order after reading some of the horror stories on here.
Haha more a PS man are you? I was all set initially on getting the PS5 but after researching a bit and comparing the 2 I think the Series X is the better console. I would think there will be more PS5 stock soon just keep checking, the Xbox has been drip feeding stock since launch I’m sure PS will be the same. Just keep checking all the time, tedious as feck I know but it’s all you can do. You got stock informer on?If you were really lucky you would have found PS5 stock.
It's amazing right. Hope my drivatar is going you a tough time.Horizon 4 is the best racing game. Stunning visually, fun, full of content.
Definitely buying them! When does this deal expire?It's amazing right. Hope my drivatar is going you a tough time.
The DLCs are currently on sale in the Black Friday deals. In the UK they're £6 each or £16 as a bundle with some car packs and other bits and bobs.
Genuine question what made you come to that conclusion?Haha more a PS man are you?

I think the Black Friday sale prices are on for 12/13 more days.Definitely buying them! When does this deal expire?
Well it comes out the box with the extra storage space, the game pass feature looks great value for money and I’m a big fan of the Fallout/Elder Scrolls games which look like they’ll be Xbox exclusives at the moment. Plus on paper it looks like the slightly more powerful console which if developers can take full advantage of could be the better system long term.Genuine question what made you come to that conclusion?
You might not be aware but you can grab a great deal from Microsoft Store, if you managed to get an xbox series X | S, you can extend the 1 year warranty to 3 years including accidental damage for just £39.
You can only do this within 45 days of delivery. So be aware of this for those waiting to open until Christmas you can upgrade now, but most likely too late at the end of December.
Important - You can only do this if you brought the console direct from Microsoft store.
Normally you do this on the console, but as per twitter below this is broken. So either grab Microsoft on live chat or give them a call on 0800 026 0329 , and request to buy the "Microsoft complete for xbox consoles" for £39 for 3 years.
Details microsoft.com/en-gb/store/b/microsoft-complete
Also don't forget to register the console as my preorder warranty started in September rather than the delivery date in November.
