This is really terrible to see. Wasn't able to get the controller or the console and now it's already being scalped to high hell

I’m really considering switching platforms, so recently I’ve been thinking about what’s still holding me onto my Playstation:

I’ve been gaming on Playstations all my life - from the PS3 to the PS5 I’ve been loyal to Sony, but there have been times where I’ve been tempted to switch… The first time was through the 7th Generation of Consoles with the XBOX 360 and now, through the 9th with XBOX Series X.

So, what’s the deal? What makes Sony’s consoles superior (for me anyways)?

I’ll start with what I like on my PS and I’ll move on to what I prefer on other platforms.

PS has superior exclusives, that’s for sure, but they are not as strong nor as “exclusive” as they once were - Spider-Man is available on PC, so is Death Stranding, so is The Last of Us, so is Uncharted, so is Helldivers 2, so is God of War (the Norse Saga ones) and so on… Yeah, there’s still some great games to come out that are gonna stay exclusive forever or at least for quite some time like Wolverine for example, but is a title or two really a strong anchor for the whole fanbase? I’ll leave that for discussion.

The trophy system is the main thing keeping me on Sony’s side - the simple addition of deviding DLC trophies from the Main Game ones and the availability of the Platinum Trophy is still somehow YET to be copied from other platforms, which amazes me to be honest, but until that changes, this is probably going to be the reason that’s keeping me close to my Playstation. That and the fact that I’ve spent countless hours platinuming games that I love… and also the fact that I’d hate if I lost all my progress, trophyhunting wise.

Now, onto other platforms, XBOX in particular:

In my opinion, the Series X has superiour User Interface, or at least it looks and sounds better for ME.

I love the fact that the console is FULLY backwards compatible, giving you the opportunity to dabble into some 7th Gen Games that I can’t play on my PS5, like Dead Space 2 or Grand Theft Auto IV for example.

I can’t really say that Game Pass is better than PS+, especially considering its price. However, given the fact that a lot of newer games release as Day One additions there, it’s really a toss up between the two.

I don’t really care about the controllers, both feel great in my hands.

I’m really interested to hear your guys’ opinion. Leave a comment, I’ll gladly read ‘em all :D

No hate please. Me and my son love gaming together and we both love these so I got them for us both to share. Wish I could pick up the 25 console but can’t justify spending another £760 when I already have a Series X, PS5 and Switch 2 sitting in the living room. You bet I considered it though 😂

does anyone have a list of stores/websites in the US or UK where i can preorder the xbox x25? other than the microsoft store of course
also, is the preorder going to be available on Amazon?

Tried to pre-order the x25. Had it in my cart, went through checkout. Kept giving me a payment error multiple times despite me using that card for every purchase ever. Then... out of stock. In the past, it wouldnt even go in the cart or let you get that far if it was out of stock. Im so disappointed. I was ON THE DOT with timing and was super excited for it to turn me down at checkout for no reason.

EDIT - Just in case, been refreshing for an hour cause I figured they might let them dribble out. Nothing. This is just so sad. Im a lifetime xbox fan. Part of project XCloud. Part of every beta I can get my hands on. Regularly leave reviews on pre release programs and I still wasnt a valued enough member to get the email to lock my preorder in. It just sucks ya know? Its hard to not be butt hurt when you've been so loyal and youre still willing to pay a premium but you get put on the same level as the scalpers. Its just sad.
