Bought a ps5 earlier in the year pretty much collected dust until their was an exclusive worth playing. Also wasn’t impressed by how you had to pay to upgrade a ps4 game to ps5 which Xbox does automatically. Game pass is a steal for trying out new games. Performance wise they’re the same which is just under a mid range Pc.

Get a s if you want something a bit cheaper. I have an x which I spend most of time playing different types of games shooters like halo, rpg’s, racing, indie games, etc. I like the game pass system because I’ll try new games outside of what I’ll usually play and enjoy. The ps5 I’ve been playing the big exclusives, but not really much else just because game pass is such a good deal.

Their are emulators that can create scan lines like crt tv’s it isn’t perfect but can work.
