My PS5 Pro is my main console, with the Series X being for occasional game pass and Xbox exclusive use, and the Steam Machine is going to purely be an emulation machine!

EDIT: Yes, I know I need to clean up the cords 😅

Which console? Looking to upgrade before GTA 6.

6 Upvotes

I have been mainly playing PC for the last couple years so I had no reason to buy a new console. I started playing on PlayStation 1&2 as a kid, but switched when I got my 360. I stayed loyal to Xbox and bought an Xbox One in like 2016. It’s been a complete unit and held on for 10 years. But with GTA6 coming out, my trusty Xbox One needs to be replaced.

The question is, PS5 Pro or Xbox series X?
From what I’ve seen the performance is relatively the same. The thing that is tilting the scale towards PS5 is the digital backwards compatibility. They have a lot more niche games from the ps2 era than Xbox does. The thing that makes me hesitant the switch is the fact that I can use the Xbox controllers that I have for the series x. Not to mention all the games I have purchased on the Microsoft store. I know that I can continue to play my xbox games on my PC. The only one that I can’t is GTA V. I already transferred my online account to s/x via cloud gaming.

I’m also worried about the whole PS digital only thing so that makes me hesitant as well.

Another thing that I’m worried about is the fact that I’m jumping into this generation of consoles fairly late. It’s looking like the next gen is coming out in a year or so.

I just wish they had GTA 6 on PC at launch because I wouldn’t even need to worry about it.

Any advice would be much appreciated, if I’m going to spend almost $1k on a console I want to make the right decision.

Backmarket legitimacy?

• Upvotes

anyone have any experience purchasing consoles from backmarket? just purchased a ps5 pro for msrp, with a coupon on top of that, with everything going on with resellers and scalpers it just feels unlikely to see a listing like that out in the open.

just looking for a little bit of consolation, quite worried I'll be receiving a box of rocks.

I have a series X and just got modded Wii U Last month and I am loving it and love it's first party games and I am thinking of buying a third SWITCH 2

I play on both, and I am becoming a Zelda I finished the original game and skyward sword

Reasons for buying a switch 2

  1. Play Ocarina of time

  2. Play duskbloo

  3. I really like the portability

  4. Found a nice discount 390 euros with 6 months interest free installments

Reasons not to buy it ( I am afraid that I don't get enough time to game)

So should I get a switch 2 or just enjoy my other 2 consoles

Help needed 6 months ago I got scammed of a damaged Gta 5 disc. Is there any other way to fix this?

Thumbnail

0 Upvotes

Bought it for RM35. The seller said the game is fine, even giving me a video. Turns out he didn't actually played it. Asked him for a refund and just went silent.

I wonder, is there any way for me to repair this? Or atleast play it?

The problem is that when it's downloading maybe 20 - 50%, the error message shows up.

Ive heard that I can use other gta disc and use it to download the game and after that I can just use the damaged disc to play like normal. Not sure if it's work but I don't have another disc.

Again, is there any alternative ways? Much appreciated!

Playstation PS5 Box pack VS Used

1 Upvotes

Hey guys, I’m looking to purchase one this weekend! Really excited abt it! I’m confused if I should go for the used one and save a few thousands to spend on games or I should buy a box packed console? Which one do you guys think I should opt for? A friend of mine suggested that they can surely take a beating and you can opt for the used one without thinking twice. Really excited abt it! I have borrowed God OF War Ragnarok, Ghost of Tsushima, Ghost of yotei, Black myth Yukong, Gran turismo 7, GTA 5 and 2-3 more from that same friend of mine. Also what’s up with PSN accounts?
