Reply to comment by Captain_Howard in Why is Xbox better for Multiplayer Gaming? by Traditional_Ad9002

Yeah it's been that way since the PS3. and it's just as well because during the time of the PS3 their online infrastructure was awful. They did have PS+ towards the end of PS3 but it was optional and not required for online play. It was a system to get two games free every month from a selection. Something that Microsoft eventually copied as a perk into XBLG. They would have had some nerve charging for online access with how unstable it was. They didn't start charging for online play until it improved at the begining if the PS4 generation. However party chat and F2P game access always remained free.

The cloud save thing though is charged for and hopefully they might match Microsoft in that regard and offer it outside of the subscription model. They removed the ability to backup saves to USB on PS5. A stupid and bizarre decision that they have been called out on.

During my time on Xbox I wasn't happy that I was being charged £50 per year for XBLG to access my own netflix account. As you read that has now stopped and rightly so. I thought MS had a nerve charging you for access to something they have no affiliation with that you are already paying for.

Reply to Do I get a PS5? by scarry88

I'd say wait for the PS5 Slim or whatever it's called I'm sure it'll have more than features and upgrades. Also if your sharing with family members I'd most definitely say wait for the next version off ps too be released, since the storage is dogshit on PS5. External hard drives will only hold PS4 games meaning you'll need a SSD card if you want extra PS5 game storage which cost a shit ton of money too.
