Reply to comment by Anubra_Khan in Gaming PC & Xbox Series X with Game Pass Ultimate or Gaming PC & PS5? by h3w1tt84

Did you read the original post at all?

Quite clearly the OP wants a CONSOLE for his bedroom so clearly has the funds to buy one. They also already see the benefit of having gamepass on console and PC.

Obviously I did. He asked if he should buy a PS5.

I'm not sure that the 80 - 100 old games that xbox game pass has over pc game pass (most of which can still be bought and played on PC) is worth a $500 console and an additional $60 a year.

For that same price, you can get the PS5 and PS Plus collection. For another $40 a year, you get another 400+ games, including many PS exclusives. Perfect for anyone who wants to get caught up if they are new to the system. This is cheaper than Game Pass Ultimate, has about the same amount of games and way more games that are not available on PC.

It also gives him access to exclusives that may or may not be released in 1 - 3 years after release on PC.

So yeah, I read his post and provided my recommendation along with the logic behind it. Have fun raging about it for no reason and providing very little logic to support your stance.

Ok you make a good case there but my point still also stands. Being able to share game progress between PC and console is big plus for GPU.

Sony are lagging behind in this battle this time around. PS Plus is a reactionary response to Gamepass. Sony have repeatedly stated NO AAA games on day one.

On a side note...... One thing I really don't understand, every time there is a discussion around Xbox/PS5/Gamepass etc, the Sony fans always point out exclusives as the MAJOR selling point of the PS5 (Just as you have done above). While at the same time contradicting themselves by screaming blue murder that MS might make some Activision games "Exclusive". I don't play COD but I kinda hope they do make it exclusive as an "up yours" to all the "Sony is allowed to have exclusives but MS is not" crew.

I have no stake in the console wars btw as I have both current gen machines plus a gaming PC. May even open up and unbox my PS5 soon as it seems the jailbreaking scene is hotting up there and it wont be long before all those exclusives will be up for grabs on the net for free anyway!

There is no console war. For somebody who has no stake in it, you sure are bringing up a lot of Xbox vs PS topics that no one asked for.

I'm just giving OP an honest recommendation based on the info he give us. If he didn't have a PC and couldn't afford one, I could just as easily recommend a series X over PS5.

And I gave an honest opinion that differed from yours.

Also just looked through your post history and it seems you have a history of being arrogant/belittling on various posts. Now I understand this whole thread.
