Got NextGen?

xbox-ps5-800x450-1.jpg

Last week saw the release of both of the nextgen consoles, and we just wondered if you had managed to pick either one up?

Despite me being 99% PlayStation for the previous generation, I actually went with the Xbox this time around and scored myself a Series S! So far it's been fantastic! What did you get/want?

I maybe gonna buy the ps5 when they release the slim version of the ps5. Because the current console looks ugly (especially the disc version). and also when the console gonna drop to at least 500$ in my country.

All I know is that when I do get one, it'll have a disc drive. Used games drop in price really quickly when they're not on Nintendo consoles, and it would only take two games for the extra $100 to even out assuming these used games go down to $20.

Not likely, will just stick with my PC. Hypothetically I'd probably like a PS5, but in practice I'd much rather spend that money on my PC.

I'd buy a new Switch, though.

Still not sure whether to keep my PS5 pre-order or cancel... Besides Astro there's not really any next-gen games I'm interested in but the appeal of shiny new tech and being able to play most PS4 games with better visuals/frame rates is enticing.

for a Series X and so far, really enjoying the load times, my daughter is a big Sims fan, and wow it makes hell of a difference to the loading on that, graphically smoother, and more detail over xbox one, running older games on external drive and seem ok, dont think ill go PS5, I have one that Ive not touched in over a year or so, well since the 5.05 hack came out, overall happy to far, even thou have to kinda side load games from EA play, and really the All Access was a no brainer in swaying me, as paying for Live/Game Pass anyway, so slight extra to give me a Series X, and GP is good value I think given console, PC, droid, and EA now as well (once they fix EA Play App)

I am getting mine sometimes this month to January. Just reserve mine and waited for them to email me so I can come and pick it up. No hurry. Just reserved already.

Got the Series X due to All Access for the bedroom. Will probably get a PS5 when either there’s a ‘must have’ game, special deal or a mid gen refresh.

Xbox is useless if you have a decent PC.
PS5 has no games now.

XSS + gamepass is a fine option for those who have no/old PC, but a good PC is still the best option by far.

I'm planning to get a new top-end PC, then Nintendo's new stuff, then a PS5 (preferably a new revision, like a Pro).
I would also get a PS5 instantly if it got hacked soon.

I don't care if it is ugly as long as first gen will have first jailbreak. The looking isn't perfect anyway. I don't complaint as long as it is powerful, and PC-alike and I am going for it!

And slim will have a very looooong time to get jailbreak. And I don't liked PS4 slim version to be honest but I do have it anyway. Therefore, if you can afford 70-80 dollars/euro games then go for it. :)

Was torn between buying PS5 and XBSX, but once Series S was announced, I landed on that instead. The price is crazy good for a comparatively high-end (even if not cutting edge) gaming machine, and GamePass also offers a ton of value - particularly for someone like me, since I mostly skipped out on 8th gen and have a ton of games to catch up to.

Enjoying my return into next-gen a lot so far! My only gripe is face buttons not always responsive to light taps (an issue carried over from Elite v2 controllers, AFAIK), but otherwise everything is smooth. Just gotta remember to not blow vape smoke into it :)
whats the point of getting a next gen that doesnt do 4k? i just dont get that imo.

if i get one it will be series X or ps5 because 4k is what is appealing on next gen, i dont want 1080p games on next gen for sure ...

90% of the ppl who got a ps5 had pre ordered it. The rest of us just watched the botters/scalpers snag all of them on Walmart's site. Im baffled how Sony was not prepared for this. "Lets have the entire country try to buy a limited supply of ps5's online to 1 retailer"
