PS5 for better games and access to games you don't already have access to. Your laptop might not be as powerful as a Series X but it should at least give you access to the same games. And the Game Pass on PC is cheaper than Game Pass for Xbox.

Also, PS Plus is great. The Premium package has about 300 more games than Game Pass and is $60 cheaper per year. It's actually $90 cheaper if you buy during Black Friday. That's half the cost of Game Pass and 300 more games. The PS Plus Extra package is about the same number of games and is $80 cheaper. Both come with the exclusives you've missed. By the time your caught up, the newer ones might be added as well.

I have both. PS Plus Premium and Xbox Game Pass PC. The good thing about Game Pass is the Day One releases. I find myself only taking advantage of this 2 or 3 times a year though. I play a lot of games on it, just haven't been interested in most of the Day One titles lately. You may get more mileage depending on your tastes but I think the lineup is weaker than what the PS Plus offers.

So I would recommend the PS5 with a PS Plus subscription. You can still get Game Pass on your laptop for $10 a month anytime if you want to play any Xbox games.

Take your desktop and dump it next to your T.V; Connect the HD cable from the TV to the graphics card; Plug your Xbox controller into the USB port; Sign into your XBOX account on your desktop; Go buy the PS exclusives you wanted, and have some fun (with a couple of beers - if age permits).

I felt the same and after months of almost doing it and thinking it through constantly I ended up getting a ps4 cheap as a spare console only to be used for that reason.

There was no justification from my end to get a ps5 just so things look pretty and load quicker. Game play is all the same
