I've got a ps5, which Xbox should I get?

Submitted by Content-Cranberry295 t3_10bj59m in consoles

There's so many exclusives on Xbox, mainly Bethesda, bioware and fable games. These also happen to be my favourite games of all time, Fable 2, Fallout: New Vegas and Mass Effect 2 being my favourites from each studio. Seeing as one of the main releases from these studios will be starfield, should I spend extra on a series X or settle for a series S?

Personally I would get the Series X if you can swing it. I think it's worth it if you take good care of your consoles and keep them for years. I know my Series X will last but I don't believe the S is future proof based on the significantly weaker internals. As games progress and developers take advantage of the new systems I think the S will start to be a hindrance years down the road.

This was my thinking, didn't want to get a series X tho if the difference was minimal or there was a huge gulf in the prices.

The X does cost like twice as much. But I know I'll keep it for at least 5 years, and with the games that are coming out I think it's worth it.

My ps5 is digital only, it gets hard when you pay full price and it's super cheap second hand

Xbox series s if you don't want it for the graphics or stuff get the series s (maybe a memory card aswell) I highly reccomend

If you can't afford a PC, get a Series X. It performs better than the Series S. It also has more memory and accepts disks. Buying the proprietary memory expansion for the Series S brings the overall cost close to the Series X. That plus the long term savings from buying disks over digital will likely make the Series X a cheaper and better performing option over the course of the generation.

Again this only if you can't afford a PC. Xbox doesn't have any real exclusives. PC gives you access to Xbox games, PC games, mods and household utility.

Oh dam well the series x is better but the series s is cheaper if your mainly a playstation player but if you have money to spare a pc is the way to go

Series X since it has a disk drive and used physical games often are cheaper then digital games

Aren't PCs notoriously expensive if you want a decent experience

The thing is… u can do a lot more with a pc and as it’s windows you got all the Xbox exclusive games too. Sorry dude not tryna convince u or anything but I have a pc and love it. I want a ps5 strictly for the exclusives.

My Mrs said the same, I went online and painstakingly set it up so only the one hdmi port was altered to the best ps5 settings. Anyway, about 2 hours into me messing with the Tele, she conceded haha.
