Anytime Sony is silent for a few days we have these threads that keep popping up. You guys are like children, you constantly need attention.
If you are going to buy into the ecosystem and you have a lot of back log Xbox games you have not played this would be a good time to jump in. Game Pass will be great for you. Thing is for me, I am not using Game Pass much right now because I have had access to those games for a long time. I expect as the new titles start coming out I will get a lot more use out of Game Pass. As you also pointed out though, you play third-party games. Game Pass might or might not offer those titles so you could end up paying $70 on top of the Game Pass sub.Well they did before but also having a job and life I cant/wont own all 3 consoles as I dont have time to play them all together. I have a PS4 Pro and a Switch and yes for a long time I wanted to play again Gears and Forza Horizon but as I said I use my consoles for third party mostly too, I dont buy a console just to buy the 15 exclusives it has. I dont game on PC so when I buy a new-gen console, thats what I use it for and right now just realizing, I can either spend $100 a year to play brand new games day one...almost all games or I stick to traditional of paying $70, even for third party.
How is a what amounts to a screenshot with a release date supposed to sway anyone?Already have one. If I didn't, conference would have swayed me.
What about Starfield?
Money.Why not buy both?
You are not alone, OP. Dozens are thinking the same.
Dude did you read my post lol? This is not about which console has better exclusives. Obviously i still want my GT7, new GoW and Horizon but my consoles I also play a shit ton of third parties on. I have over 90 games on my PS4 and maybe 20 of them are exclusives. I dont buy a $500 console just to play 20 games on it. So the whole point was, hey I can either continue to keep paying $60-$70 even for all the third parties or I just realized, holy shit I can pay $100 a year and have access to all those, most DAY ONE.Anytime Sony is silent for a few days we have these threads that keep popping up.

I mean, I loved the hell out of the 360 (went through six of them), and certainly enjoyed the original big boy Xbox back in the day. Never bothered with Xbox One for obvious reasons. I guess what I'm trying to say is this isn't unfamiliar territory.Welcome to the dark side.
I have both. I don't think there's anything unreasonable about what you just said... although the avalanche of "lol no" responses might drive you to think you're insane. There's going to be a lot more to this Xbox generation than just "Gears, Halo, Forza" though.... and there's some folks here that seem to be in denial of that fact.Im a playstation guy, love the games and the platform but this covid next gen hasnt hyped me as much. Even when announced, I really didnt get the XSX appeal with its gamepass. I chose my platform based on the games I have most connection with. Im not gonna lie, I do wish some titles were on PS like Forza Horizon, Gears of War, Flight Simulator etc. And then the E3 show happened and at the end of almost every single trailer: "Day one gamepass". And considering how often I see GP on discounts I was like wait...I can play all these new games, day one if I wanted with a single subscription of under $100 a year (taking advantage of discounted GP). And on the other side I have to think if I want to part with $70 for each game on PS5. Sure, ill miss out on the big exclusives from PS but I never said I wont buy it later as well.
Im at a similar spot where as playstation fan I bought an xbox360 first and then a PS3 when the slim version came out because at the time it was just a better purchase and took awhile for those exclusives to pile up. Now I feel like im in the same spot, that maybe ill go for XSX first and get a PS5Pro or slim later. This time being because I get the appeal of gamepass. Its a financial decision but I also play a shit ton of third parties. And not gonna lie, even Halo Infinite got me interested again. Not to mention I can find XsX way easier than a PS5 atm. Anyone else in a similar boat?
why are you buying Flight Sim and FH5 if you have game pass presumably (given the back half is loaded comment)My One X died in December and I was lucky enough to get a Series X in January. I'll be buying my first two games this year in Flight Sim and FH5. Gamepass the back half of the year looks pretty loaded with Dark Alliance, The Ascent, Psychonauts 2, Back4Blood and Halo. With Ratchet and FFVII released for PS5 already, most of my gaming time the rest of the year will probably be with the Switch and Xbox.
Same - though a little opposite - I skipped PS4, thought about a PS4 Pro but never came around to getting one because was extremely busy. Now I have all 3 consoles (and a PC).I mean, I loved the hell out of the 360 (went through six of them), and certainly enjoyed the original big boy Xbox back in the day. Never bothered with Xbox One for obvious reasons. I guess what I'm trying to say is this isn't unfamiliar territory.
Nah. Gamepass is a trojan horse.
Because you can't lug your PC around everywhere and want options?I have a 3090 and subscribe to Gamepass Ultimate. Why would I play Microsoft exclusives on a low end machine like a XSX?

I never once and never will buy Bethesda games, I never liked none of their games.
Just a heads up buddy. There is a massive shortage on GPUs. If you want a 30 series it'll run you well over 1,500$. If you want a 3090, more like 3,500$.I think I may get both at this point.
When Halo comes out I will try it out on PC using my bog standard 1060. If the game is actually good, I might choose to get a XSX instead of building a new PC. I mean it's a $500 box with pretty sufficient performance at 120FPS, that you can plug a m/kb into. Also, a plug and play avenue to Flight Simulator.
I REALLY like the way my current PC setup feels for making precise shots in FPS games and I'm in no hurry to change a THING. An XSX is pretty much the price of just the gfx card so I mean...
That said. I knew long ago that I will eventually get a PS5. A revision would be nice though. An Xbox could help soothe the wait.
You know how much a good GPU is??Sure, but I'm always considering each over the other. Neither has enough out to tempt me at the moment, and the $70 greed and the general scarcity of the consoles has me content to sit back and wait.
I'm also seriously considering building that gaming PC at long last.
You disgust me
