New PS5 PS Plus Benefit Includes A Huge Library Of The Best PS4 Games

@sladakrobot: You're just making stuff up. I've never even considered getting an Xbox as there was never anything whatsoever that MS had to offer that was of interest to me. A large portion of all Japanese titles not being released for it is already a gamebreaker. And aside from any obvious disadvantages I can see zero advantages or reasons for owning an Xbox if you already have a PS5. So there was never anything ot think about for me.

But I'm also not a moron who takes sides in a console war or whatever like a little kid. The PS5 has clearly been the superior offer to me from the start and that's all it's about. It was pretty clear that MS would stand no chance as there wasn't just much they could have done to turn things around. But I sure didn't expect that the gap between them would widen that much further. Like I care about who wins. But go ahead and post some stuff up on your social media accounts to let everyone know which side you like more.

And I didn't hear about the timed exclusivity part, only that it was a a PS5 exlusive on consoles. So I guess I could blame whatever gaming site I got the news from for spreading false information. Still either way, things are looking pretty bleak for the Xbox. Not that it could dissuade a fanboy from changing his opinion, right?

@bababooey12: Yeah, we'll see how games actually will run and look on the low budget version compared to the proper console. The way MS made it sound it's a serious step down performance wise. And it has to be if it costs $200 less.

But yeah, keep listening to all that PR talk about the new consoles "supporting" things like 8K and 120fps. No real game will ever achieve those numbers so it doesn't mean much that it could potentially. From what I remember Sony used to talk about how even the PS2 back in the day was supposed to support higher resolutions. Ever seen a PS2 game run at anything but standard SDTV resolutions though?

But I'd find it hard to believe that even a game that can run at 4K and 120fps on the Main Xbox would be able to do do the same or anything close to it on the cheap one. But we'll see. If the hardware was not that much weaker it wouldn't be almost half as expensive. And I really don't see why anyone would choose to sacrifice the performance when they could get the real deal for only $100 more. MS had a real advantage in the low budget sector with the $300 model. But that advantage has evaporated now that Sony has announced the digital version of its console for only $400.

Also nice joke comparing the Xbox exclusives with those on the PS consoles. So many Japanese games are exclusive to them simply because many Japanese devs don't consider it worthwhile to release them for the Xbox. As literally no one is buying it in Japan.

But if there's "a lot of exclusives", then how come you still didn't mention any others besides Halo and Gears? I can think of Forza. But Sony has always had the GT series so they're even there. But what else is there? I know there's nothing that interests me but I still can't even think of any other exclusive titles, or any that would be worth mentioning. I know that MS had for example Platinum Games develop an exclusive for them but they stomped it some time ago. So yeah, where are those "lots of Xbox exclusives" you were referring to?

Also I don't really care about those generic PS4 exclusives you mentioned either. But there's so many more that just don't get released on Xbox because the publisher doesn't care to do so. It's not even a matter of Sony paying them for exclusivity. Just a matter of having a console that is actually successful in Japan so it's worth releasing games for it for Japanese developers.

@firedrakez: And what if I don't want to pay for all of that crap combined but only for one of those services? Yeah, I can see why it's so easy for companies to bundle up all of their services when guys like you consider it a great thing. "Just look at the overall value." That value is zero to me if I'm only interested in one service but have to pay for a whole bunch of others. Amazon Prime is a joke like that. It used to offer premium shipping and some lower prices on some products. But now you get to pay extra for their movie streaming and whatever other crap they've added to it. Isn't that great? So much value and you have to pay for it, whether you care for it or not.

@firedrakez: Well, no, it's good value, but the MS Store does have its issues. Game Pass games have an issue when running outside windowed mode, the MS store requires manual updates (with automatic updates disabled, but I don't see why the games themselves shouldn't be able to update. All of my other games do), and way too many newer games released on Game Pass in the last little while has required registry access even for the singleplayer games.

It's good value, but in a "sell your soul" kind of way. Once the price increases, it's not much better than, say, Origin.

@firedrakez: Yep, love it..only regret is I didn't sign up sooner lol.
