Xbox is the most useless console

PS5 at least has good exclusives

Look at the software exclusivity (including subscriptions/game pass). Does it interest you more than PS5? MS has exclusivity/priority for games from Bethesda and Activision/Blizzard. If there's at least 3 games you are interested in, and you plan on buying more, it can be worth it.

who fucking cares.

Anyway TC can get more mileage out of a used Dreamcast bundle on ebay for the same cost. Probably get MvC 2 for less than $60

If you can't afford/don't want a gaming PC and don't care about Sony's exclusives that eventually come to PC then why not? I won't touch another Microsoft console after the 360 RRoD shit I went through 3 times. They couldn't even fix it right.

This, but if you can't afford one Xbox is definitely the way to go. Gamepass alone is enough of a reason to go with Microsoft.

LMAO can you open up PS5 with Dev Mode to use as an emulation machine? Or use Game Pass which saves people thousands in game purchases?

LOL you think Sony has good hardware? The early PS2s were prone to disc read errors. And that's not mentioning PS3's infamous YLOD that they charge you to fix.

I'm only speaking of my experience. Xbox 360 is the only console I ever owned that stopped working. Even after sending it in for repairs twice it stopped working again. How could they put out hardware so terrible they had to extend the factory warranty 3 years. The shit should have been recalled.

Chill. TC wanted advice, no need to turn this into another mindless console war topic.

Sony also has tons of games on PS+, which saves thousands in game purchases. As for hardware, within my social circle we went through way more Xboxes than Playstations through the years despite us having more Playstations. In either case, I don't think either platform has significant hardware issues at the moment.

OP, why do you want an Xbox? Without knowing that, it's hard to say whether you should get one

It's the current-gen console with the greatest "value proposition" (Game Pass, Backwards Compatibility Program, XBO peripheral support, etc.).

'Yes'

It will probably be the last SKU Microsoft actually puts a disc drive in.

Enjoy it now while disc drives are still a thing. One day we'll all be looking at consoles like rotary phones and televisions with dials.

Don't buy a Series X unless you don't have a PS5 or a gaming PC and have no plans on getting a PS5 or gaming PC.

Get a Series S when it is on sale for like 150 bonx. It is an amazing Gamepass and Emulation machine for cheap and is also incredibly portable. You can fit it in any suitcase and game wherever you go.

I honestly love my Series X, with Game Pass.
I just love how well everything just works. I never have any problems with it. And I can buy old Xbox One games for cheap to play on it in addition to playing whatever gets added to Game Pass.

Right. You can enjoy 97% of what PC has to offer (minus extremely high fidelity resource hog games), And then emulation too and its so much better option in terms of price.

The point people were making is that at least PS has some actual exclusives, while an Xbox is pretty much a useless device if you have a PC, although IIRC there are like 1 or 2 games that still arent out on PC. I think its either a Gears or a Halo game.

Might be a better option, but there are still times its nice to have a physical console, especially when you have friends come over, as PC split screen really isn't as well known as it could be.
