It's never worth it to buy a console to play one game. Especially when that game is available on other platforms too. If you have the budget and you intend to play other games after, the PS5 is a fantastic machine. Otherwise, just wait for the Switch version of Hogwarts Legacy or get it on PC. If you still want to buy a new console and save money, the Xbox Series S is an option.

If you want a better experience and have the money then go for it. Though just for 1 game idk you need to consider all your factors.

I haven’t got any other games in mind but would probably buy some for the PS5 just because I have it

Modding pcs? Not unless u want to install mods???. I swear you ppl think pcs are like some massive machine were you have to turn cranks and spin cogs whilst pedalling at just the right time while shoveling coal into its furnace. Literally there as easy as consoles.

Why? What exclusives?

PlayStation also has a “game pass” similar to Xbox now, so it’s just as easy to access as Xbox and most of the exclusives are on there.

I’ve never had issues with apps crashing or the PS5 being loud. Good console health comes from taking care of the console and cleaning it. If you clean out the dust from the fans then you’re fine and it won’t overheat, that’s what can cause an app to crash.

Take care of the console and it’ll take care of you .

Do you plan on using the ps5 for anything else or just for 1 game?

Fair enough. Xbox game pass is good 100s of games for 10 quid a month new games on there every month. You can’t beat that tbh. I prefer the PlayStation for actually playing games seems to run a lil smoother but for all round use Netflix music yt all of that i prefer the Xbox. Also does your ps not sound like a fuckin ac130 taking off literally had it a few months. My cousin has the same issue with apps constantly crashing. His room also sounds like an airport when it’s on.

Think they’re talking about PlayStation exclusives generally considering they’re an Xbox player. Not ones that are only for the PS5. It would be a whole brand shift, but staying next generation console wise

I have none of the issues you listed with apps on my PlayStation 5? I would also say that PS5 has a better game library due to the exclusives.

Get a PS5. Sent From a PS5 owner. 🤓

It barely has exclusives

Yes, Microsoft has been pushing hard for crossplay. They had a social media campaign a couple years ago where they teamed up with Nintendo to basically bully Sony into doing crossplay.

There are an awful lot of REALLY good PlayStation exclusives, and they’re definitely worth playing, but if you’ve already got a current-gen console, I don’t think shelling out £450 is worth it. But it depends on how much that kind of money is worth to you. If you can afford it, sure, if you can’t, don’t do it. Also bear in mind that all the exclusives cost a bunch of money too.

I meant more games with crossplay :)

Sorry, bad phrasing. With better I meant more games that has crossplay

You are somewhat forced in crossplay in most games

Get whatever you'd like, and can afford. Both consoles are amazing.

Is that how long they had it 4?

Its 2nd hand and only had it for 3 days

If its second hand it might b getting a bit old and u just need 2 sell it and buy a new 1. If not, I recommend putting a fan next 2 it or getting some of that spray that gets the dust out I forgot what it's called tho.

nah, its the same

if anything, it would be more lucrative for Microsoft to turn crossplay off so you had to buy an Xbox or a pc depending on what friends you have
