I have been a PS user for twenty years, but I am not a hardcore gamer or anything. Still, the anti-consumer crap that PS has been pulling has got me to the point that I may invest in XBOX X as a hanukkah gift for my partner who asked for a PS5. We've been waiting for two years to get one and the PSDirect is glitching out and cancelling my purchase. Scalpers have it up to $800 in most places. Support doesn't care if the website screws you. We're locked out of our PSN accounts for literally no reason. The money-grabs they are instituting have pretty much pushed me to my breaking point.
My question is; anyone else switch to XBOX in the last year as a result of PS's crap?
Second question is: will my spouse divorce me if he finds an XBOX under the tree when he was wanting a PS5? LOL Are the pros vs. cons enough to keep my marriage intact?

I just saw a couple of PS5s in my local Target, and I heard others same the same about Walmart, FWIW.
XBOX/PS, whatever. It's totally up to the person playing. I went from PS to Xbox to PS.
If this is a gift for someone else, and they actually wanted a PS5, and you don't know them well enough to know that they'd be totally happy with an Xbox, I'd go for that PS5. Or at least have a real talk.
Also, I am always very sus of anything that includes "and they x for literally no reason". There's always a reason. It might be a mistake, sure, but who knows which end that mistake is on. :-)
PS had that leak. Sucked. Pretty much every major website has had some sort of suck at some point. One Christmas I got a whole bunch of Xbox points and redeemed them on my account, and the next day my account was hacked and everything was gone. My account was locked all the way through Christmas, and given back to me a little over a week later, saying "only put the credit you'll use right away on there at a time". I was off that whole time, and wasn't when I got it back. Sucked.
