Got a bit scared when I first put them on my entertainment unit



But it turned out fine


Set up was easy for both. Xbox is taking forever on the update right now however. Likely because I waited until today to get it so servers are hammered. Playstation was much quicker in comparison. One tip is to claim your PS+ games before downloading anything otherwise it's really slow.

Packaging is more premium for Xbox if you care about that. But the initial setup feels more premium on PS5.

And that's about it as I'm working from home so I spent my lunch break setting them up and downloading stuff and wasn't able to do anything else. Ah well.

Did you put that on the TV on purpose? Seems too fitting.

The ps5 is fucking hideous. The slim better look better or i probably wont buy.

And the Xbox Mini fridge is not much better.

But HOLY SHIT you have ALL the games for both systems too right next to them!

People always joke that the PS5 looks like a router, but the way you have it all set up makes the Xbox look like the router.

I wouldn't mind if it came in black. I don't plan on getting one til Spider-Man 2 comes out and hopefully there's a slim and black model.

Yeah the Xbox was just a smidge bit too tall which was disappointing. Hoping it would fit on the top.

Watch Dogs Legion for Xbox (although I have Game Pass as well) and Miles Morales for PS5.

I dunno what you're babbling about?

I traded in my PS4 and Xbox One X, got a bunch of gift cards with a 5% discount so I only spent a notch over the cost of one system.

My daughter isn't 1 yet. She doesn't need her own TV, phone or Switch.

Cocomelon is a musical YouTube channel that plays music for babies

Thanks for the concern though.

Yeah, forgot the Series X isnt backwards compatible with all One games and the PS5 has backwards compatibility with some games as well.

This whole no games! trope is fucking dumb.

Yeah if the consoles didn't have backwards compatibility I probably wouldn't have done it. But they do and they play games better. Trading in my old consoles while the value was still high was a good decision IMO.

Honestly as long as backwards compatibility continues this way I probably will always just upgrade like this.

I am very happy this is BC with big performance gains on top. I'm pretty glad my XBone and PS4 will be totally redundant. The amount of systems I have is already kind of annoying, and I can give these to a friend or my brother when I finally upgrade.

I wasnt 100% sure on the games that are BC for PS4 to PS5, but I was certain itd be a decent amount/most of the games with how important it is for some people.

Yeah there's a list of like 10 games that don't work at all. Only real games I care about on that list are Hitman Go and Shadow Complex but I own those elsewhere and I doubt I'd replay them anyway.

There's a few games that can 'exhibit errors' but still no idea what those issues are yet.

The Playstation app letting me know when downloads are done is cool! No idea if this has been a feature on PS4 already.

Is this true for both systems? I know the Xbox enhances pretty much every past game but haven't heard anything about the PlayStation other than it being able to play PS4 stuff

Current games at higher quality, faster load times, and youre ready for when the next-gen games come out.

Yup. However it doesn't have the bells and whistles like auto HDR, and capped frame rates remained capped. But dynamic resolution games and games with some frame rate issues will be sharper and perform more consistently. Load times are reduced for both consoles as well, but XSX is faster there.

I had a PS4 and Xbox One X and they both traded in for $685AUD. Consoles are $750AUD here. Still have games I want to play on both (and I have Game Pass Ultimate paid off until 2022) so a no brainer really.

1) not everyone likes to play on PC
2) not everyone has room for a desk for a PC
3) not everyone has the want to build a PC
4) not everyone has the money to drop on building a PC that compares to the new systems

Again, shut the fuck up. Both systems have games that are playable that make it worth upgrading now.
