Never been interested in an Xbox (already invested in Sony games wise etc) but that 28.99 option looks good. I wouldn't really notice the money going out but I'd have a series X and all it's games. Hmm

Still getting a PS5 too though.
 
Great price for the Series X as well really, thought it would be £500+

Question is does the series x offer anything more for 1080p users than the series s apart from extra storage

Should offer consistently higher frame rates and significantly faster usage. My sons One X has truly painful load times, I make sure to bring a book to read when I play on it while waiting for things to load.

How would it work if you’ve already got GPU yet want to go the monthly payment route?

Would they tack it on regardless?

Can't you get a partial refund from Xbox subscription services? I'm sure I've been offered my money back when cancelling Game Pass on PC.

You might be able to. Was just wondering for those of you already locked in.

I'll be buying outright.

Ah man, the last couple of days have been great. Positive vibes. Love it.
 
What are you guys that have EA Play playing on it?

It seems if you want the latest titles like FIFA 21, you'll still have to buy them. It's not as encompassing as Xbox Game Studios with brand new titles being "free" on day 1.
 
Console + Game Pass Ultimate w/ EA Play for £20.99 is ridiculous. However, I hate being tied into stuff like that and just prefer to buy my hardware outright. Argh.

What a cracking deal that is!

As for the Series S what a pig ugly hunk of plastic that is, and I thought the PS5 looked bad.

Looking forward to the inevitable memes.

It's not that good really.

£712 rougly if you were to buy it all sepately.
£695 doing the above.

£17 saving to take out credit and be tied into a payment plan for two years.

I would say that saving £17 and not having to pay out all that cash in one go can only be a good thing.

Not really no. A few pages back there was a post copied from reddit. It was from a developer l. Basically the series S will do exactly the same as the Series X but designed to output at 1440p. Yes it has less memory and a slightly lower rated GPU. But at 1440p it doesn't need the extra power required for 4k. Same goes for the storage. Games at 1440p could be up to 40% smaller due to the assets used for 1440p resolution. The console will download the correct version of the game using the smart delivery thing.

It is as you are likely to keep the console for more than 2 years and be paying for the gamepass and gold anyway. The main bonus is removing that upfront cost which otherwise would stop some people picking up the console
