I went Series X over PS5 while I wait for a ps5 slim and I love the series x. I've always had playstation and Xbox together but so far I'm getting to play the Playstation exclusives on my gaming pc so the need for ps5 not so great. If you love the xbox ecosystem then go for the series x as it's a beast.

Craigslist and Facebook marketplace are great for trades. I traded a modded Switch for a Series X last year and I used FB marketplace.

GTX 1080 is an old card and current games require newer RTX graphics cards to have parity with the console versions. If you don't want to upgrade to a modern graphics card then PS5 or Xbox Series X or S are right for you.

Might be a good idea to give the Series X an early spring cleaning. There's a lot of videos on the YouTubez showing how to disassemble and clean it.

Here's the one I bought. They have other horizontal and vertical form factor models and a few that are a little more powerful.

There's some very good Anbernic handhelds that have Bluetooth for controllers and mini HDMI out to connect to the tv and supports almost every game system for emulation. I have an Anbernic RG353P (SNES design) and I'm really satisfied with the device for both handheld gaming and using it on the big screen with Bluetooth controllers. Great for old couch co OP games.

Are you talking about a retro handheld or something to plug into the tv?

Get a paper route for Series X money. Perfect for your age. That's how I got my NES at 15 in 86 lol.

Dude, I am positive many people agree with you but I'm just not feeling it for Sony so far this generation. I'm not some Xbox fanboy but my series x is getting all my time.

PS5 is cool but Series X wins thanks to Gamepass.

Whoa that's pretty hardcore. I never thought video game cheating was that bad.

Sounds like a defective console. Is it still under warranty? Even if not you should contact Xbox support for repair options.

Sorry I'm completely ignorant about them. Thanks for letting me know they exist.

I play online. Still never heard or seen anyone whining about such devices. Different circles my dude.

It's A HUGE ADVANTAGE not an huge advantage. And I still think yr baked. I play COD every year since 2006 and still have no clue what you're on about.

I think OP is as baked as I am after two big doobies I just smoked.

There's the problem. Go hardwired and you'll see better speeds.

Having access to all of your Xbone, 360 and OG Xbox games on the Series X is great. Adding disk based games and S/X Optimized games and Gamepass Ultimate and you're set. If you have a PC or plan to get one you'll be able to play a fair amount of the Sony exclusives as they're headed to PC after their playstation exclusivity ends.

The X has more than a bit more storage. I have 2 enormous Call Of Duty games installed on the internal storage with even more games installed (plus external HDD for 360 and Xbone games.) It's totally not a waste of money for what you get with Series X. The Series S with its 300gb usable is a waste of money.

PC Gamepass doesn't have all the same games as console Gamepass so getting the Console exclusive games is big step up from PC Gamepass. I sure said gamepass a lot.

Thanks for a f**king good laugh. You're the Sony-est Sony fan boy I've ever seen.

If you have your eyes on the PS5 which you mentioned first I think you would end up disappointed by the Series S. If you're interested in Xbox the Series X is the way to go if you go that route.

If you're wanting PS2 & PS3 then you'll need a Steam Deck. None of the Anbernic or Retroid devices are powerful enough to run them.

Are you talking handheld or something to hook up to your tv?

You need to buy the digital version for the Series S. Maybe think about the Series X instead.
