2020 X Box Series X Vs. Playstation 5 thread.

Do the Curry’s VIP thing. That’s the easiest way to get one.
It’s not like hunting for one takes a lot of time.

I don't even know what Curry's VIP thing means ;) :lol:

I'm in Germany and there is still effort needed if you want a PS5 now and not wait a couple of weeks with a preorder in some online store until they get a new shipment in. If i had the patience and absolutely wanted one i could have gone this route and maybe even had one before Christmas but as i said i'm in no hurry.

Still it is a new experience in the western world for me to wait years until a product is available in such large numbers that you can pick it up anytime you want. I know it's a special case and many factors came together to cause one massive problem and to be honest i don't know if i wanted to be a Sony employee in the Playstation division - on the one side i love to solve problems like these and find solutions but on the other hand the pressure within Sony to get the consoles out must have been enormous and if it depends on external providers there is little you can do.
 
I got 2 invites from sony last year to buy a PS5 through them...
The 1st time i could not pay because i don't have a credit card, the second time they added more payment options but when i got to checkout they where already sold out...
I was lucky to be home last week and saw the email from the Dutch online shop i use that they had them in stock, so i grabbed one ASAP...

I did get plenty of storage as well...

I'm a JRPG guy so XBox is out of the question for me.

The PS5 design looks kinda silly. But so far it's solid hardware. Even though I've only played PS4 games on it so far.
 
About 16 of the PS4 games i own had a free PS5 upgrade...
And the PS4 games with PS4 Pro enhancements also allow using the Pro settings...
The loading times are insane though, even GTA5 who still had long loading times on the PS4 is loading fast...
 
They are both great machines, but right now, I use my Xbox Series X/S (have both) far more than my PS5. The PS5 is in my youngest sons room, he just bought the Dead Space remake.
