PS5 vs XBOX

[CrittaMagic69]

'cause they know people will still buy it.

I listen to a lot of the US gaming podcasts where they have been talking about a $10 price increase coming for the new generations. Have known about it for over a year. No one mentioned that a US$10 price increase would translate to an AU$30 - AU$45 increase.

Imagine people with the digital version are going to be smashed hard with prices, not likely to drop any time soon on the online stores.

What's the difference between Xbox S and X?

Which is top of the range?

 

[south of heaven]

Why do next gen games cost a million dollars each?!!

Consoles are cheap I'm already nrth of the 5k mark for this pc build .

 

[SPEARTAKVIDREFS]

Got an Atari rommed with 128 games, have consoles improved since then?

In regard to the Series (the new ones)?

X:

- Top of the range
- runs games at 4k up to 120 fps
- has a disc
- is really big and black

S:

- lower range
- runs games at 1440p (2k) up to 120 fps
- doesn't have an optical disc drive so can only play games downloaded from the Microsoft store
- is really small and white with a black circle where the fan exhaust is
- If you stand it up it looks like the speaker at a drive through

Here's a comparison of the two. The X on the left

So it's the X for me... thank you kind sir.

If you're into that kind of thing...

Is it just me misunderstanding this or is one of the consoles coming out without the possibility to buy hard copies of the games? Seems like a push to ensure that game prices don't drastically reduce once hard copies are available second hand. I'm really hating the fact that certain companies have almost completely shat on people who don't play online games. Rockstar in particular used to work hard on content updates in their games. Now that they are able to get people paying real money for in game currency, they completely ignore single player content expansion.

Yep. That's the drive.

It does make a sense in some ways as a lot of the cost of publishing a game is making the discs and distributing. So it would be fine, if they reduced the cost of the games. Instead they're selling digital games for more than the physical games and keeping the profits.

I largely buy games I really want when the price drops to around $70. I'll also buy games I see second hand for about $20 to $40 when nothing new has my attention. For me if hard copies of games are phased out it'll just mean I buy less in the long run. I won't pay $70 for a game that doesn't have good reviews or is a very short game. I expect to get a month of game time if I buy a new game. I've currently got around 30 games on the 360 and 15 on my Xbone after having my last two consoles and game collections stolen. I generally only replay the games I bought new though.

So I find it a bit of an issue if they zone out hard copies. But I agree with you on the fact that it's wrong of them to charge more for digital versions of games.

Just got confirmation from JBHIFI that I will be getting my PS5

 

[MatstaDogg]

I'm getting a PS5, not really sure why as I hardly get time to play video games these days. Though I am taking some time off when Cyberpunk 2077 comes out in November. Been waiting for years for that game to come to fruition.

I'll give you 1k.

 

[Mr Beast]

I'll give you 1k.

You can have it for what I paid. Already got my other preorder confirmed from Big W.

Thanks, but I just realised you said you ordered the digital version
