Heck no you will love having a Series X, plus get Gamepass Ultimate and you'll have access to 100s of games, all the Xbox/Microsoft exclusives, plus EA Plus and PC Gamepass exclusives. Although you'll have to expand your storage for older games and most current generation games need the faster 1TB storage πŸ˜ŠπŸ‘πŸΌ

I have both. Have had them since launch. I only play exclusives in the PS and play everything else on the series x. I love that it’s updated quite a few older games with better resolution and/or frame rate.

>Or , maybe they just take better care of their stuff?

They definitely do. The stuff I've ordered from Japan has been by and large immaculate. Sellers also pack things really well. They don't try to hide damage either, and will sell even slightly marred stuff as "junk" for a deep discount.

US sellers on the other hand treat their stuff like crap, want top dollar for junk, and actively hide defects in their listings. Oh, and they generally suck at packing stuff.

After spending three years in Nagoya, I found many Japanese people to be very ordered and disciplined regarding their possessions and living arrangements. Whenever Japanese friends visited my apartment, often the ladies would politely start tidying up, and cleaning my mucky kitchen. I'm guessing this is why the items for sale are in super condition.

I'm not Japanese but I've always looked after my consoles. I just traded in my PS4 Pro and I had all the plastics, foam wrap, cardboard, the box and the leaflets. When I traded it in, the guy in the shop thought I'd bought it from somewhere else and brought it in to trade it.

Not sure why I do it, but if I'm going to spend hundreds on something, I'll look after it and keep everything it comes with just in case.
