I have a really solid pc but I don’t know. I’m a Sucker for shiny boxes.

Lets hope the preorder process isn’t as bad as it was to grab a PS5

 

[thatJohann]

I guess I'll preorder the Series X at Target since I got the PS5 preorder there too. OCD. Anyone have any experience with Target and preorders?

 

[Fart Knight]

So anybody changed their minds with the Bethesda acquirement

 

[StreetsofBeige]

Good luck to Xbox gamers. I'm not going to preorder. Gonna wait for Costco listings. I don't think they do pre-orders. The online listing just shows up one day when it's ready to ship.

 

[T-Cake]

So anybody changed their minds with the Bethesda acquirement

No, I was originally 60-40 in favour of Xbox Series X but it's just gone up to 90-10 now over PS5.

 

[Kagero]

Rumor has it there will be more Acquisitions. I'm going to wait it out until maybe the first year or two. None of Bethesda's games are going to be available in the next year of two anyway. The way I see it is, the XSX ain't going anywhere. The only thing this does for me is me going from not getting an XBOX at all next gen to, yeah pretty much getting one but maybe later.

 

[BONDO]

Neither- until a new Forza comes along

 

[Lone Wolf]

They pulled me back in. I’ll be buying both now.

 

[Needlecrash]

I just want the Series X controller .

I haven't been feeling the next gen hype really. I only care about one game for the PS5 (Demon's Souls) and despite backwards compatibility, I'm just not feeling it yet this generation. I feel like I'm better off buying the RTX 3080 and just call it a day.

 

[Shi11]

X for sure. My sensible side is telling me to wait a year for next gen. My impulsive side is telling me to succumb to big daddy Phil.

To me, game pass is even more valuable now. PS Plus can't compete with it period. The value is definitely worth it, to have a Xbox Series X than a PS5. Yet, to me, Sony exclusives are solid.

In my eyes GP shits on the face of non-GP gamers (on xbox/Playstation/pc)

And while it may be valuable, it devaluates bought games

Gamer 1:
Pays 1-15$ to get some games on launch day by GP

Gamer 2:
Likes physical games
"Yeah fucker, here is some shit on your face, pay 60-70$!"

Gamer 3:
Likes to own digital games
"Yeah fucker, here is some shit on your face, pay 60-70$!"

Devs:
Yeah fuckers, our game is worth next to nothing as we give it out almost free on GP, but we ask full price on physical/digital


Like is it worth of pay 70$ for "almost free to play" games?

I guess it would depend on the game too. But who knows.

 

[TheZink]

Me. I have a PS5 preordered but I’m second guessing it now. I’m gonna order a series X tomorrow also and then figure out which one to keep.

 

[Slings and Arrows]

Pre-order?

Nahh. I'll just walk in to a store and buy one. Fuck giving retailers my money and tying me to their own fuckery and idiotic policies, all while they make bank off of the interest on my money.

 

[KO7]

I did play my Xbox One more than my PS4, but will he going with a PS5 first this upcoming gen. My XBox One will be fine for Halo Infinite, whereas I “need” PS5 for the inevitable Ghost of Tsushima PS5 update and Gran Turismo 5.

 

[Adam_802]

Im ready lets go!

 

[Flintty]

Part of me was thinking of holding off but $7.5bn has convinced me otherwise. I’ll be hitting F5 like a motherfucker tomorrow morning.

 

[jshackles]

Hoping to snag a Series X pre-order tomorrow.

Then I gotta start looking for a proper shelf to put all the new consoles one that can sit next to my TV.

 

[sixamp]

I have my ps5 pre-ordered and now I'm taking off if work to preorder in person at best buy tomorrow.

 

[Goro Majima]

I want to tie my pre-order with trading in one of my Xbox One Xs at Gamestop.
Not sure how that is going to work yet.

Yeah I've already got a PS5 preordered so I thought about dragging my PS4 Pro and Xbox One X down to Gamestop for that trade in deal but wouldn't that take forever?

 

[R6Rider]

Neither. Will probably pick one up when Starfield(if exclusive), Fable, Avowed, etc. are released, which will be in 2 years at the earliest.

 

[Flintty]

Does anybody know somebody in South East England who wants an Xbox One X? Selling cheap!

 

[web3x]

Getting the S. First XBox ever.
Already have my PS5 from Walmart

 

[RoboFu]

So the question now is .. will bestbuy release preorders at 12 am, 2 AM, or 9 AM? lol

 

[njean777]

My sister is going to go to GameStop for me tomorrow morning and hopefully secure me a series x, I also am gonna try to get one through Best Buy or amazon just in case she cannot get one. Although we have a tropical storm coming through tomorrow morning. Hopefully that curbs a lot of people from going to gamestop

 

[Riky]

Ordering 2 Series X and a Series S, can't wait.

 

[NeonDelta]

Will probably wait a couple of years or get a 3070 for my PC. My pc will handle everything fine in the next year or 2.

 

[iamvin22]

Better get in line because them bots comin

 

[sixamp]

Will bestbuy have instore preorders? When you call the recording says there will be no in-store ps5 preorders but nothing about xbox

 

[JORMBO]

I will give preordering a shot. If bots beat me up and takes them all I still have my PS5 preorder so I won’t be too mad. I’ll pick up the Series X when it’s available after if needed. My main goal was getting at least one of the two new consoles.

 

[T-Cake]

Exactamundo. I think the PS5 digital edition will be the one I get now, purely for Sony's exclusives. Everything else, even if the Tempest audio and haptic feedback DualSense turns out to be the DB's, will be played on Xbox.

 

[djjinx2]

Series X incoming at 8 AM UK time, I just hope I can use Store Credit as part payment, I have 250 loaded and the rest on Credit Card

 

[Mister Wolf]

Wish they would have had a video showcasing and confirming the launch titles. No future games just launch titles like The Ascent.

 

[UnNamed]

Series S, 'cause I'm poor

Spoiler

at 249$/€

 

[drganon]

So anybody changed their minds with the Bethesda acquirement

Not yet. I like my jrpgs and the like, so I'm sticking with the ps5 at launch( if I can get one). Might get an xbox series x down the road when starfield and es6 comes out and end up being exclusive since I dont have the patience to deal with pc gaming.

 

[jshackles]

GAF has been telling me for months that "nobody will have any problems at all pre-ordering a Series X". We'll see...

 

[Dr Bass]

I might pre-order an X and then use the next two months to decide if I want one. Was gonna do the same with PS5 but couldn't get one. Maybe it will turn out the same here.

 

[TheGreatWhiteShark]

I arleady dialed-in my X preorder and got confirmation on Friday, so I wish to all of you to have as much fun.
pre-order procedure is going to go smooth and easy

Devalues bought games? What does this even mean?

 

[ScaryBrandon]

Hype for the most powerful console with the most extensive first party lineup and consumer friendly practices.

 

[DjMystix]

I'm so stressed out about having to compete with the effing scalper bots tomorrow.. Whatever the mess PS5 pre-order was, at least I was able to get it after 2 hours of effort.

 

[saintjules]

Hoping this isn't true!

 

[JimiNutz]

Nothing at launch.
Maybe later.

 

[Dthomp]

Hoping this isn't true!

I think this is likely GS being careful. It’s not like they run a giant money making company anymore, they’re are just trying to stay afloat, and they got stuck with a lot of overpriced Xbox1 units that people didn’t want last gen. They likely will keep stock low and restock more often then order a bunch and hope they sell this time around.

 

[dorkimoe]

Hoping this isn't true!

It could literally be just one store in a small town. They also never had large system pre order numbers.

 

[NullZ3r0]

Pre-order?

Nahh. I'll just walk in to a store and buy one. Fuck giving retailers my money and tying me to their own fuckery and idiotic policies, all while they make bank off of the interest on my money.

Um...I'm pretty sure if you do Amazon or MS Store, they won't charge you until it ships.

 

[BluRayHiDef]

I've got a gaming PC, so I don't need an Xbox.

 

[MrS]

Good luck to all of you preordering tomorrow. Hope you can snag one.

 

[GymWolf]

Yo mama's so confused about xbox's nomenclatures that he bought a stadia instead.
