M bison. That you?
Don't bother
No stock
This is the same ruse HN is doing they did with the PS5 last week
There's no actual stock
My ps5 was a pre order only with no ETA of when it will be in stock and shipped.
Save your money for another retailer guys!
What really, I should check my order!! That is ridiculous. I've been waiting for the PS5
It’s hardly normal to see these in stock.
(This is something JV would say, only he’d bold the pun.)
She'd
They’d
It'd
I keep hearing this, but is JV actually a chick?
No, a rooster
Keep stealing JV's lines and hopefully it'll crawl into a hole and not come out.
Where’s the stock?
'Out of Stock: 6 - 14 days delivery'
Yeah right "in stock". My ps5 from last week is still in ETA limbo.
target?
Harvey Norman
right.
XBox vs PS5 which one is better?
Given the Xbox is nearly 20 years old now, I’d say the PS5.
He means the xbox series x
Party popper.
ohhhhhh my bad
Thanks for the information, obviously I have not been playing game for very long time, just wanted to get into it again in case another lock down, touch wood!
Xbox for Game Pass, PS5 for exclusives. Pick your poison.
Umm M$ reversed the decision while Sony increased the price of games, plus XSX is the more powerful console too from what I read, also Gamepass is pretty great value.
This console war stuff is futile anyway, people are either PS or XB no matter what the info is.
@imurgod: Reversing is fine but it shows how they treat customers (especially knowing the pandemic has put such a restraint on people’s finances). Increasing is fair. Do you know how much developers take home (YouTube it).. price has been same for whole of last gen so I think it’s fair and it’s only a slight one not double like M$…
Sony is also playing most games better than Xbox thanks to its faster ssd. Also gamepass isn’t good value and Microsoft had to raise price of gold to convince people to switch. It only has 18 mill subs and most of that are people paying with a discount and it’s spread out on pc, mobile and console. Plus you get old games and no exclusives and you never get to own any game.. defeats purpose of buying physical console. Those games are literally available for under $10I agree pick what console bit getting downvoted for my opinion is silly.
@v7dal: Ah, yes. Playstation/Sony and how they treat customers…like with limited backwards compatibility (both hardware and games). I'm all for arguments and opinions, but you seem quite bias. "Plus you get old games and no exclusives" "Those games are literally available for under $10". Hmm…maybe do some research before spurting out nonsense.
@beaver2233: I never understood BC. A gaming site found a loophole which showed that on average people played BC titles on Xbox for 24 minutes compared to 16+ hours of current gen games.
@beaver2233: 360 controllers didn’t work on Xbox one? The PS4 controllers don’t work because the whole controller has been redesigned and nearly all games take advantage of it. The Xbox one works because it’s the same tech so it isn’t Sony’s fault for innovating. And as the guy above mentioned bc isn’t that needed or used much.. like why upgrade to next gen in first place soo soon?. Why not keep old hardware and add a ps5
Sony is also playing most games better than Xbox thanks to its faster ssd
No it’s not. The SSD results fairly marginal load time benefits.
The performance improvements elsewhere aren’t because of the SSD but game and dev tool optimisations which have caused some games to not run as well in the Series X as they should. There’s been repeated suggestions that MSs tools aren’t as mature as they should be and/or that developers didn’t have enough time for launch to optimise titles which resulted in the initial batch of games in many cases performing better on the PS5. The Xbox is the more powerful console, but devs still need to optimise their software for it.
@Smigit: As of now Ps5 is more powerful. Go look at reviews. All you said is Xbox is more powerful without even providing any stats
All you said is Xbox is more powerful without even providing any stats
Where’s all the specifications and technical analysis you’ve provided to backup your claims. You’ve credited the SSD for things that aren’t even SSD bound.
If you want me to provide a source then sure, go view basically any Digital Foundry analysis on their YouTube channel. They’ll repeatedly point out that some games may perform better on the PS5, but identify that it’s due to tool sets or developer optimisations, not that the PS5 is overall a more powerful console. In fact the entire reason the PS5 performing better in some titles is note worthy is driven by the fact that the Xbox is more powerful and should be ahead for those specific titles. Their most recent analysis of Hitman 3 also has the Xbox coming out on top too, fwiw.
PS5 has advantages including a better (by and large) exclusive catalog and its controller. It doesn’t however win the horsepower race, not by a long shot.
@v7dal: Enjoy Hitman 3 at 1800p LOL. As the dev tools mature, games running worse on the PS5 this will be the norm.
@sallan75: Enjoy god of war, the last of us, Spider-Man, ghosts of Tsushima and more on Xbox in at worst 1080p… oh wait you can’t
@v7dal: i even gave you an example…
Does this say sub $10 to you?
https://www.bigw.com.au/product/the-outer-worlds/p/53947/?st…
Again "no exclusives". Hows forza going for you on ps? oh, right. Halo? oh.
"I agree pick what console bit getting downvoted for my opinion is silly."
That's not how you have come across or why you have been downvoted. You have been flat out wrong and going on like typical "fanboy".
If you want a PS get one, they are both fine.
@Duff5000: No one cares about halo. If they did the ps4 wouldn’t have outsold the one by 2:1… also I wouldn’t know cause of god of war, the last of us, Spider-Man, ghosts of Tsushima to name a few
You dont know what you are talking about. Quite a few games are on there from launch, the Outer Worlds for instance.
"no exclusives" is deliberately deceptive. Would you rather they don't allow their games on pc just so you couldn't say that? Microsoft don't care if you use their games and services on pc or xbox. That's a good thing.
@Duff5000: Then why was halo and all there other “exclusives” only available on Xbox last gen?? They do care and it’s only because they lost last gen so badly they are trying to do everything to get some players back. Don’t think this company is your friend haha it’s a business. So is Sony but it’s dumb to say Microsoft don’t care where for up until series s and x you couldn’t play many of their games on pc
@v7dal: This is pathetic. Just about every rant you have made has been factually incorrect.
So you are one of those people that can't admit they are wrong. Also, a one make console lover that likes to let everyone know.
Enjoy your negs. Feel free to post some more nonsense, i'll just downvote next time and not bother with a reply. (that is you havent used my allotment for the day already)
By double…? Wasn't it by $1 (for the monthly sub.)
Try getting flight simulator or forza for $10 AND you get EA play
@RobBoss: Who would want those ? we have gran turismo anyways and I can use google maps if I’m that bored. I like to play games not fly around for hours.. they couldn’t even charge for that game if they wanted. Unlike Sony who make god of war, the last of us, Spider-Man, ghosts of Tsushima and sell in the millions and actually win heaps of awards
@[Deactivated]: You’re right. I think this individual has issues that extends beyond Microsoft vs Sony. good show good show
Last gen, established library of games, cheaper all round and still not so old that most people will have moved on.
Ps5 for exclusive games. I have a gaming pc as well, so i wouldn’t bother getting series X.
Ps5 for sure.
If your getting an Xbox then Microsoft has shifted to pushing you into game pass (it's all over the dashboard) and as someone who has been an Xbox fanatic from Sega America days go with PS5 the UI and feel is just better
If your getting a PS then just remember
We don't know Microsoft plan with gamepaas just recently they pushed an increase for gold prices 100% to get people to switch to game pass and had to reverse it they are a business at the end of the day but if they had plans for 100% increase then obviously a increase will come for game pass
Personally after playing game pass for 4 months Ive been using PS5 much more (never had a Sony console ) and the psn collection is much much better. Also the sales Sony has are insane sometimes.
However if your friends are on Xbox or if you are a Bethesda fan or in general like WRPG's then it's looking likely Microsoft will dominate it this generation. I recently started Persona 5 as my first JRPG and I'm starting to like the formula more.
Racing games will probably also be better on the Xbox with Forza
FPS/Sport/Dark souls lik games have larger playerbase on Sony.
We also haven't seen the hard counter from Sony for game pass and personally I hope we don't I don't want to be paying more subscription stuff on-top of psn, Xbox, Netflix, Stan, mobile, internet etc
Game pass is good value but options start to thin out the longer you have it..it's good value for what it is now but would I eventually pay 20+ per month once Microsoft fixes all these loopholes with cheap gold conversion? Probably not unless they managed to get all major titles including third parties then that would be insane value.
Tldr: Ps5 if your moving into this generation alone from Xbox one/PS4. Xbox Series X if your coming with friends from Xbox one and Ps5 if your friends are on PS4. Maybe a Xbox down the track when we start seeing bundles once stock starts being normal (if you selected ps5 first option)
I've been following Xbox and PS sales daily for two years - that's mostly what I'm on OB for - and I can tell you the sales between the two consoles are the same. I have both consoles.
Sometimes PS has great sales, sometimes Xbox. Usually the lowest prices are equivalent across both consoles. Very often, publishers drop their prices on both consoles at once and they are within a few bucks of each other.
For example Streets of Rage 4, digital only, lowest ever price on PS is AUD 26.56 - it's on sale right now. Lowest ever price on Xbox, funnily enough, AUD 26.21 (December 2020). SoR4 is free on Gamepass.
And I don't know why the comments about being "pushed" into Gamepass. It's generally a good deal, people subscribe because they choose to. There is nothing in GP or PSN that cannot be bought separately if you choose to. There aren't any subscription exclusives (yet). I only subscribe periodically because I prefer to own games outright.
Conspiracy theories and possibilities.
the UI and feel is just better
The UI on the PS5 is average at best compared to the PS4 and XSX
Xbox UI isn't even 4k and I've had friends over who've just flat out been confused when experiencing both consoles the first time. Plus the cards system works out much better you can hop into QM for siege straight from the dashboard (while skipping all the intro loading videos)
@Bootyborne: Does the UI need to be 4k? its just some thumbnails.
My son has both Xbox and PS4 now the Ps5 and the Ps5. To his experience, the ps5 have 'hid' a lot of the menus and make you have to click so many things to find them. Mainly your friends list.
@Danstar: I have the SX, whilst 4K isn't absolutely necessary (imo), it definitely needs HDR for the dashboard. Switching between a game (with HDR) and the dashboard (SDR) results in black screens/flickers as the TV switches between the modes which is a little jarring.
@Danstar: ?? You press the PS button once and go to social it's right there lol even in the quick menu
@Bootyborne: Do you have a PS5?
He only
Told
Me this on day one, but still says you have to press and scroll a few times before you can just access your friends@Danstar: I've had both consoles day 1.
Not sure what you mean press and scroll you press the home button once to go to quick menu then go to base and the friends list is there it's literally the same as Xbox series X in fact I went an extra step and counted you have to scroll two more on the Xbox to get to friends list vs the ps5. On my base PS4 it's 1 less scroll.
To quote Henry Cavill: PC!
To quote my wallet: "But I'm empty!"
PC all day. I have a few gens of consoles (Sony, Nintendo and Xbox) but honestly, PC destroys them by comparison in every way, even with the additional cost.
Depends on your situation and what you are after.
XBox Series X: If you are able to get cheap XBox Live Gold deals and then convert to Game Pass Ultimate, you get a cost effective way to play a large collection of games at cheap price. The quick resume does make switching between games more pleasant. However, right now, there isn't any true first party exclusives. The question is in 2-3 years time, will there still be cheap loopholes available.
PS5: It is mostly about Sony first party exclusives, whether they are enough for you to commit to buy it. The new controller is nice, but it is still too early to tell whether most games will support all the features. It really comes down to do you want to play those first party exclusive titles.
Then, there is another twist, PC. Games do play best on high end gaming PCs. In 2-3 years time, we will have a new gen of graphics cards. Series X could potentially run into the same issue that XBox One had (some people prefer PC + PS5 combo). While Microsoft will have more first party exclusives this gen, it has now shifted to concentrate more on cloud services / subscriptions and those exclusives will be on GamePass PC / Ultimate.
If you are only getting one, you need to decide what you are after… basically your definition of better.
I think Xbox, gpu is 30% - 40% stronger. And they bought Bethesda so you are prob not gonna the next The Elder Scrolls, Fallout, etc on PS5.
get ps5 if you have a good pc, get both if you don't
if you have to choose from one, would say ps5This is the WAY.
Genuine question: what games can a series x play now that a PC can’t? Why the rush?
not everyone has a good pc, and game pass has much more games on xbox than PC.
But one doesn’t need a good PC to game these days, a 1650 would suffice for most games (at 1080p that is). Of course, I get what you mean. As a console owner, myself, I’m not against it buying it. I just think getting a PS5 is way more justified than getting an Xbox at the moment.
It really depends, if you have specific ps only games you want then yeah ps. For the casual gamer the Xbox represents far better value and variety with gamepass.
@gromit: yeah, if you got kids and dont want to spoil them too much get x box with game pass - ez
if you are one of those ppl that want new things NOW then you can probably get both
By the time you build a pc with a 1650, you already paid for the price of a series x. And you don't get a controller or quick resume.
Also some people either don't own a PC or would just prefer to play on console
Why are you comparing a 4K60/120 to a 1080p pc
The value for money on the Xbox Series X is insane.
For $750, you're getting basically the equivalent of a Ryzen 7 5800 + RX 6800 gaming PC
(i.e. ~$2500 - more than 3x cost: https://www.ozbargain.com.au/node/583195)

No interest in PC gaming, consoles are cheaper and easier and play best from my couch.
Coming from a person who has both, this is false. It's as easy if not easier to have a PC and play from your couch these days.
Red Dead Redemption 1
A lot of people like me prefer no-fuss on-couch gaming with consoles. I was a PC gamer almost exclusively for 30 years until I bought an XB1X in 2019, and I haven't looked back. I work at my computer all day and it stopped being relaxing to sit down in front of that same machine to play games.
Also I used to get into such a fuss about PC performance: do I have the best settings, am I getting the best framerate, are there background Windows processes sapping my performance, should I buy that new graphics card etc etc. I know that's a bit neurotic, but I don't like the lagging suspicion that I could tune or boost my PC for better performance. And the cost of those new cards or the coveted PC upgrade. That's not to mention random crashing and issues depending on individual PC setups.
I appreciate with a console, I just boot it up and it works. If you have the latest gen, you are always getting max performance for those games on your console, no mucking about. Everyone else has the same setup as you.
I see, I guess looking at it that way it makes sense. I do agree that there’s a bit of a hassle when it comes to PC. Often times I find myself spending time deciding wether my RAM should be 2666mhz or 3200mhz or stuff like this. Guess console players never have to think about it

Go away Gerry, shouldn’t you be lobbying the gubment for even more taxes on overseas imports?
Fun fact: I am still ordering from AliExpress even after the 10% GerryScroogeTax because it is still cheaper than local offerings.
You accomplished nothing but to fill gubment pockets at the expense of regular Joe.
Hope you are happy!Enjoy supporting overseas companies!
Go away Gerry.
