After months of being unable to find a PS5 I broke down and got a Series S. If anyone is looking I found one at my local Target.

What are you guys playing on Game Pass? I havent had an Xbox since the original. Downloaded Fable.

The Series S is a bloody fantastic console. I've had mine since launch and put more hours into it since then than I did for the entire PS4 life.

Gamepass is amazing. Horizon 4 for driving, dragon Quest 11 for an RPG, minecraft.tomlose 500hours and many.many more.

My PS4 controllers all have joystick drift. The only game playable was Rocket League. Rather than continue to buy controllers for a dying console I compromised.

Dont get all the hate. Ive waited 6 months. I just needed something.

Same. Once MLB The Show was on Game Pass I had to. I cant justify paying $70 for a game I can get essentially for free on Xbox. Itll only get worse from here. The Show has always been Sony exclusive.

my ps5 controller has joystick drift within 2 month's of usage.
it's not bothersome but can be interfering with a twitch happy game.

buying another controller isn't an option. i don't like that hot pink one or the original black.

Sony needs to fix that. Controllers arent cheap and it happens to every controller Ive had.

imagine paying $60 at launch for a game you can get for $35 on disc on launch day if you know what youre doing. Imagine borrowing a game from a friend. Imagine renting a game. Imagine being able to play games Ive bought over the last 15 years since I owned a 360 that I can just freely slide into the Series X like butter

imagine, seven vaginas, maybe more

The whole point of Game Pass is so that you dont have to do any of that.

it took me 2 weeks to get a ps5.

week 1:waiting to hear about what retailers would have them and making sure my accounts are set up.
week 2: waiting. learned that target would drop at 4:30am on a date. woke up early that day and bought it.

i mean sure, you could get unlucky and not get it, but you just gotta wait. its not impossible.

and no, scalpers and bots didn't buy your ps5. a study showed that only 5% of ps5s bought were resold.
https://www.gamesindustry.biz/articles/2021-05-17-what-can-we-do-to-stop-the-ps5-scalpers
But even so, the majority of consoles are not ending up on eBay and its rivals. Sales of PS5 games like Spider-Man: Miles Morales, which are presumably not scalped, are also seeing strong uplift every time new consoles are released. So these machines are reaching the hands of consumers.

Congrats on the purchase TC. I have gamepass for PC and it's great. The Series S is definitely not as sought after as the Series X, but it was made to be a "Gamepass box" so I'm not really seeing the problem lol.

[LFAQs-redacted-quote]

I'm going to buy a PS5 Digital.

  • $60 at launch: Fine with me, if I enjoy the game, I don't mind paying full price.
  • Borrowing a game from a friend: Doesn't matter because my best friend only buys Xbox's
  • Renting a game: I only rent games I'm unsure about and I have PC Gamepass for that
  • Play old games: I never had a PS3, but I'm pretty sure every digital game I've bought on PS4 can be downloaded and played the PS5 without repurchasing

See you in holiday season 2022 then

Honestly if something was bugging me for more than a couple weeks I would just go ahead and buy a bundle from a retailer even if it was $100 more. Instead of letting me nag me for months but that's just me

Last time I looked at GameStop bundles they were $700. Much more expensive than the $400 console.

That was the disc version with two games, an extra controller, and a $20 gift card. The digital version game with a year of PS+, $50 to use on the playstation store, and a $20 Gamestop giftcard for $600

Oh yeah I'm not convincing you to buy whatever I'm just stating what the bundles were. Too old for the console wars crap

Game Pass is a supplement, not a total package. There are so many games I will play that will never be on Game Pass. Its a tremendous supplement, but its not all-encompassing.

I think it depends on what sort of gamer you are. I'm someone who wants to play most of the major stuff so it's a supplement for me. But there's plenty on Game Pass to have it as a primary way to play games if you want to. Combine that with buying digital games on deep discount for anything you really want and it's a pretty good budget way to play a shitload of games throughout the generation.

still shocked that its only 500 gigs. I get that they wanna sell the expansion cards but to get a Series S with 1TB youre spending about as much as a Series X without getting a disc drive, 4k, or One X versions of backwards compatible Xbone titles.

but as a game pass machine for next gen titles its still a damn good deal

Trust me, that's just as hard. GameStop had bundles in stock today. I was on the site when they went live, but I never actually got one into my cart. And it wasn't for lack of trying.

If you owned an Xbox you can game share with your friend. You can play what he owns and he can play what you own. Plus, naturally, you can play what you own as well

Yeah that was one of the biggest negatives for the Series S. It doesn't really hold that much games. But I'm just really curious if Microsoft is making a profit with the gamepass, it's one of those 2 gud to be true kind of thing.... you know like Movie pass lol.

Just pointing out that you can use USB hard drives for the far majority of games at the moment. Even Series S/X enhanced games that aren't complete native versions still work on USB hard drives.

Storage could be an issue in a few years but it's easy enough to work around right now. It sort of reminds me of everyone panicking about Switch storage but that hasn't been an issue for me personally. Worst case scenario you have a couple of AAA games installed at once and delete when you're done with them.

The PS5 storage isn't great either and I don't see anywhere near as much panic over it. That can only fit one or two more AAA games than the Series S.

I recall Microsoft saying that they actually sell more copies than expected of a lot games to Game Pass subscribers because of the discount, so they probably make plenty of money between those sales and subs. If it was just a subscription service with no discount bonus then I dont think it would be nearly as successful as it currently is and the library would be much smaller.

Yeah theres plenty of older games that are like 40gb tops, but say you wanted to try Halo 5 and Gears 5, youd be looking at about 220GB right there. Its ridiculous how big some of the games are.

But like you said here:
