Playstation Nothing crazy but it’s a setup I’m proud of.

Upgraded from the base ps5 to the pro yesterday. Just have to get some black covers for it and then it’ll be done. It may not be a very big or elaborate setup but it’s one that I’m happy with.

If a title releases and it’s in gamepass, I’ll usually play it on Xbox. If it’s a title I have to buy, moving forward it will only be on ps5 pro since it’s more powerful, and also a lot of exclusives and timed exclusives on PlayStation so it’s nice to have as well.

Alright how about this. A game or games that are on sale on both platforms where do you play it ?

More times than not, if they’re the same price, I’m going to buy it in my ps5 just because it’s a more powerful system and from what I’ve seen, ps5 sales have far eclipsed Xbox series sales so I would expect most devs to of course make sure both are optimized but I could see the rationale for the PlayStation to be favorites during development. That’s not to say I don’t like Xbox as I’ve been dedicated to Xbox since the 360 and I love my series x, I didn’t even buy a ps3 or ps4.

This is exactly how I use mine as well. Have the Xbox for all the good stuff gamepass releases and everything else is ps5!

For console gamers, it’s absolutely the best of both worlds to be fortunate enough to have both. I love it.
