PPGC saved me from impulse buying the Xbox wireless headset by bundling it with some crap.

 

I ended up buying it still from Amazon a week or two later, but for about 1000-1500 bucks cheaper 

Exactly the same experience.

Same here ??

They added back Flight Sim and now Cricket 22 with SX. What's funny is that both those games are on GP. Good luck with the bundle

Step to the future..

Sold my Series X today, bought it last December but never got time to play on it, my ps5 backlog was already big now with ps plus extra having two consoles for limited playing time did not make sense plus I can use GP on my gaming laptop too so in case I have an itch to try out a game can play on it.

Ok

Lot of people are having this issue. Both consoles are good this gen so buying both but don't have time.

 

Personally, I already got my monies worth from Series S.

I guess it's the 30s syndrome. All of us are established in jobs and have family or life to take care so have limited time to game. What each one of us wouldn't give to have both consoles when we were teens. Having a console was rarity back then and buying games on top was also dependent on parent's favor.

Sold it for 45k. Had to be patient as most of the offers I got on olx were in the 35k to 40k range mostly from dealers.

So true, I sold my One X for that very reason. With Wife and Daughter, its hard to take out time to play games. I have a huge backlog of games on Steam/Epic but I still keep buying games, thinking that one day that day will come when I will be playing games. Before getting married, I used to pay a lot of games, maybe it was because of the Bachelor life.

I have a n00b question. How come xbox is always in stock while ps5 is not? Don't they all require semiconductor?

Yes, they both require semiconductor. Reasons...

1. More demand for PS5
2. More supply for XSX|S

PS is mainstream. 

 

People default to it when they wanna buy console. Ton of casuals get into it.
