My series x has been silent. I was and still am surprised at how good it sounds compared to my ps4

I felt the same and after months of almost doing it and thinking it through constantly I ended up getting a ps4 cheap as a spare console only to be used for that reason.

There was no justification from my end to get a ps5 just so things look pretty and load quicker. Game play is all the same

I’ve recently switched form PS to Xbox series X and wont be going back to PS. Even with all my mates having a PS this haven’t stopped us playing together and I just love the game pass and currently don’t miss a single thing from the PS.

My advice would be think of what you want… if you want great exclusives go for the PS (although Xbox have some decent stuff coming soon) and if you just want a great work horse with game pass the Xbox is the choice

Haha everyone has their own tastes in games but that’s a big one for any scrolls fans. Plus star citizen. I won’t be going back to PS any time soon, I still play games with all my mates who got a PS5 with no issues.

Haven’t tried an elite controller yet. I want to get hands on with it before I order one because if they are anything like the stock controller in build quality I can’t imagine it being worth the money, for me anyway.

You know what they say about big hands right?….big controllers!

I upgraded from a ps4 to a Xbox series x at the start of this month.

I have been a long time PS user and haven’t used an Xbox since the 360.

Pros:

The obvious things are the graphics/load times and anything else you would expect from an upgrade and massively noticeable come from one to the other.

All my mates have a PS5 but I can still play the games we played together via crossplay.

Game pass….it’s just amazing

Console is so quiet it makes me smile when I realised that there I sent a turbo jet trying ti take off from my table

Cons:

Controller….don’t get me wrong, the controller layout is great but it feels so cheap. From the trigger buttons feeling horrible to the vibration being so bad it’s the first thing I turn off in games all the way to the Xbox button needing to be pressed very specifically to register that you are actually pressing it. it’s just not a good controller imo.

The dashboard. This is something that has taken me weeks to fully understand. Coming from the ps4 where things were clean, you will be coming into a world of chaos and confusion, from randomly ads to really bad customisation.

I have learnt over the weeks to just got to one specific tab which shows all my games and apps…why there isn’t an option just to open to that I don’t know.

All that being said, I love the Xbox. I can forgive the controller and crappy UI now that I have gotten used to it.

If there is any disappointment from your spouse just tell them that’s it’s the more powerful console then looks then in the eyes, pull them close and whisper “elder scrolls six” that should get the juices flowing

I have both a ps5 and an Xbox…in all honestly I reach more for the Xbox controller to play games and only the ps5 for its exclusives.

The whole haptic feedback on the controllers are cool to start with but after a while it gets frustrating and actually interferes with gameplay. I find myself turning it off, if you play a shooter game with it they feel great but there is a massive difference in your aim if you compare it with the haptics on and off….just turn it off lol
