That sucks. Yeah it was really disappointing. When you finally think one goes through, and your get the order confirmation and everything, then they cancel an hour later. Hopefully it was legit, and none some douchebag employee saying it was out of stock so him and/or his friends can buy one.
What’s wrong with that though? I didn’t coo for resell every single one went to someone who didn’t have any.
My local thrift store has several, for $1.2k
LOL only if you don’t like the white system. I didn’t hate it but it looked weird with my black entertainment center, xbsx, and black tv. Personally can’t wait for the purple plates…these will do till then.
Only “nice” thing Sony is doing is under cutting dbrand and charging the same or less as the Chinese knock offs. They really want to kill that market to defend their trademark. $55ish is “reasonable” when consider inferior version cost more or the same.
That's exactly what happened. Like a sucker I paid $55 to make the $500 system look like how it should of from the beginning. That said it looks great and by great I mean it disappears in the darkness of my TV stand.
Are you still using the white controller? That's the only thing stopping me from buying the midnight black covers. Don't feel like buying two new black controllers
I used my GPG on my bundle controller to swap my white for black. That thang sexy. Slap it on the leg sexy
Probably legit. Most likely trying to get you to register for a chance to get one via PS Direct.
Thing is, I never requested to be added to the queue. From what I've been reading people were selected at random after requesting to be added. This is about the third one I've received since around October.
I am but it's not bothering me. But if I'm able to get 3/4th of the cost back for selling them, I would to upgrade mine to black.
I can't necessarily say I'm that surprised. I think a lot of the reason these are still selling out so quickly is because of scalpers, and they're not running to the store to buy an overpriced bundle with games you may or may not need. Especially when resale prices are dropping
Thankfully I found my PS5 at a retail store. I haven’t played it much because GT7 still isn't out and none of the current exlusives have excited me enough. I had to get my XSX as a bundle at Gamestop but so far I would say Microsoft is winning the battle with exclusives and i really wanted to play Forza Horizon 5 on the latest Xbox.
If you have PS+ Dirt 5 is still free for a couple days. I know it isn't Forza, but it's pretty good!
A couple times I’ve bought deeply discounted new games they’ve been the South American or European releases. Occasionally you can’t play them online. Luckily most games get a discount these days 30-60 days out. I miss the 128 but era new releases got pretty big day one discounts often. That was peak gaming.
Mostly depends on what kind of games you like, since right now MS' are an FPS, a plane sim and racing whereas Sony's are an RPG, platformers, action-adventures and a roguelike. As much as I like Halo/FPS, I give the edge to Sony (for now, obviously both have a ton of projects in the oven).
Thanks for the recommendation. I have Xbox Game Pass and Dirt 5 is one of the games I can play on it. I will give it a try. So far I am really enjoying FH5.
I never had Game Pass until I got the XSX. Definitely worth it, especially with the trick of converting Xbox Live Gold into 3 years of Game Pass for ~$100.
This describes me, I have mostly played games on Nintendo systems. Really enjoy my Switch. So all these Game Pass games I have never played before. Getting all these games for essentially $36 per year (with the XBL conversion trick) is a good deal for me.
This is how I felt about my Xbox One (original). I bought it on clearance for $100 because I also have every console. Figured I'd find something to play besides Gears, Halo and Forza. End up forcing myself to buy games for it that I would rather play on my PS4 so they were usually just 3rd party games.
Yeah I really see no point to get an XSX (in your case and people in the similar situation) unless you are all in on Halo, Gears, and Forza, but even then, everything that is on XSX is on X1 too so if you want to play those games and have an X1, you don't even need one. The thing is, I used to love those franchises, but when you have the same formula spanning across 3/4 gens, it gets stale. I expected to get Halo Infinite since it was first announced, but when it was like a month out I simply had no interest, and I still have no interest, so I just didn't get it lol.
Exactly how I feel. I have had numerous chances to actually get one and passed. This is the first major system in decades I did not get within a month of release. The Xbox One I still have I have played the least of all my consoles. Microsoft exclusives dont tempt me as much as PS exclusives do. I feel Xbox exclusives caters to FPS and racers mostly as you pointed out. I might skip the Series X entirely unless something drastic changes in their games. (and no, MS buying Activision Blizzard doesnt really change it for me)
I am in the PS5/Switch/3DS/PC camp. I picked up 3 months of game pass for $1 to play halo, forza, and gears.
I haven't bought a full priced game on XSX since launch. I've spent like $25 on 3 games around BF in 2020 but it was on X1 games before XSX even came out. Gears 5, Halo 5 (still sealed), and Doom Eternal.
If you don't use your xbox its obviously not worth it. If you plan on playing online you need xbox live so at that point the game pass upgrade is obviously worth it.
Why wouldn't you use it, though?
For me, it's how I felt about the games I bought before GamePass. I'm forcing myself to buy games for a console that I would rather play on PC or the PS4 (if they are multiplatform).
you bought an over priced ps5 just to play a last gen game lmao
Maybe bungie can help with a new killzone/resistance
