Any metal water bottle will last you way longer than any plastic one. I only use a flexible reusable plastic one when mountain biking. If I have a metal water bottle on the holder it will get destroyed by the time I descend to the bottom of the hill.

I personally use a hydroflask. I know its pricy, but the design is nice. It is susceptible to dents and what not, but it still holds water fine. There are plenty of cheaper waterbottles that are metal and are as of if not better quality.

I managed to luck out and get a series x during the height of the shortage directly from Microsoft.

It's a great console, but from people I know, there is at least 2-3 S's for every one X.

Cheaper price for simply scarificing religion makes sense for most people I guess.

There's no point in having a gaming PC if you don't have good WiFi. You're going to download all the games anyways. If you're struggling with 33 gigabytes, you're going to struggle download a 100gig game solely from WiFi and not even a disc. A disc let's you download the large files without WiFi, with a PC, everything is done with WiFi.

I think you might be able to get digital codes on sale at Amazon and Best Buy. Otherwise its the MS store.

The main reason that I got the X was the disc drive. Sometime there is a special edition of a game that I like and I just have to get the physical instead of the digital.

I found that switch games I couldn't sit down and play for more than an hour. This leads me to touch my switch once in 2 months and not again for another 2.

I have a switch and series x. I haven't touched my switch in over 6 months. The switch is the console where most people leave it and play it maybe once every couple of months or on a road trip.

the ads i always have...
I don't need them to scream gamepass into my face when I already have it.

I'd go with the PS5. You get the advantages of gamepass and Microsoft exclusives with your PC, so might as well go for the PS5 to get some of the exclusives that haven't been ported to PC yet.

Series S can be found for sale easily now.

Paired with gamepass and perhaps a 512 gb expansion card, you can't go wrong with it. I got a series x for 4k, but since you already have a 4k capable console, that shouldn't be a problem.

If your friends lean towards one console, then get that.

The problem with the PS5 is that it still almost impossible to find. Even with lower sales numbers, Microsoft is a goddamn giant compared to Sony and will have better production capacity. A series x can be easily found now. The PS5 not so much.
