I've been a Playstation gamer since the PS2. I have multiple PS4s and a library of over 1000 games in my digital account.
With that context laid out that I am a big-time PS user, looking at the XBOX game pass subscription model where you get the console for free is REALLY tempting.
In every market I've looked at, there is a deal that works out to about $30 a month for two years. They give you the console, instant access to hundreds of really good games, day one access to all microsoft first-party games included in the price, many new release games from other publishers (for example EA ACCESS titles). Free monthly titles on PC.
AND all of that is actually CHEAPER than buying the console with the two years of subscription.
Plus the XBOX is going to have a number of new features related to second-screen-game-streaming that are also really exciting.
I'm really torn here right now. I might move away from playstation for this next generation - the XBOX is looking like it is going to be a big deal this time round.
OTOH - I really want to play the Miles Morales spider-man ... so there are arguments on both sides. To say nothing of the third option involving an Nvidia RTX3080...
I honestly don't know what I'm going to do yet.
- rawbot 6y agoI don't think there's any payment plan that nets you the console for free? The payment plans are good on their own right, because you aren't paying much more (or slightly less) if your plan was to get a Series S + Gold + Game Pass (Gamepass Ultimate). But there's no plan where you get it for free.
