Reply to How can I remove this stain on my Xbox Series X without damaging the casing? Warm water and bit of soap didn’t work. Alcohol seemingly worked until it dried up and stain came back. Don’t know what it is, it just appeared. by Alan126798
Try naphtha (aka lighter fluid). Failing that brake fluid (seriously). Test a small, inconspicuous area first. It's probably the oils in the plastic themselves coming out.

Reply to Would it be rude to recommend someone to return a console you don't want? by Beneficial-Win9930
My personal philosophy is to never return gifts. Keep it around, try it out, you may like it. Never know when it will come in useful.

Yes, there's a chance, but it requires a certain degree of electrical knowledge.

Well, eBay in general is very good about taking care of buyers if something does go missing.

>Or , maybe they just take better care of their stuff?
They definitely do. The stuff I've ordered from Japan has been by and large immaculate. Sellers also pack things really well. They don't try to hide damage either, and will sell even slightly marred stuff as "junk" for a deep discount.
US sellers on the other hand treat their stuff like crap, want top dollar for junk, and actively hide defects in their listings. Oh, and they generally suck at packing stuff.

Reply to comment by andimuhammadrifki in will there ever be a console with SSD-ROM-based physical games? by andimuhammadrifki
>of course someone is gonna pop up the issue of the SSD production cost. it was similar to the case of cartridges back then (more expensive than CD-ROM at the time), but the difference is that SSD, of course, has more capacity (up to 4 TB, although only the 256 GB and 512 GB variants will most likely be used for modern physical games)
From a quick look on Amazon, a cheap 256GB NVMe is minimum $40. So, add that cost on to the price of the game, are you willing to spend $110 on a new game?
It's not a terrible idea, but costs need to come down quite a bit before it's realistic.

Don't buy a system just because of controller gimmicks. Do buy a system if you prefer the controller and find it more comfortable. The controller is what you're going to be touching most of the time. You'll probably turn off one or more of the gimmicks anyway.

I would have said PS5 since you prefer the controller, but it not supporting AMD Freesync seems like a deal breaker. The real strength of the PS5 is its exclusives, but if you're just gonna be sticking to 5 or so multi plats, I'd say Series X. It's a little more powerful than PS5, so you're probably gonna see higher framerates. Also, things are just easier on the Series X. I own all three, butt find myself reaching for the Series X controller when push comes to shove.
