@Martsmall To be honest, I thought the Series X would be an investment purely for the Bethesda games somewhere down the line. I didn't even like the Xbox controller at first but my opinion on the whole situation has been turned around.
I was certainly never an Xbox hater, but I missed out on the 360 generation while I was at University which I know was a big attraction for most, and when I eventually got back into gaming it was the Switch that did it, followed by the PS4. I am 100% on board with Xbox now though, I really can't speak highly enough of the Series X.
I was part of the Amazon sales numbers, and I'm absolutely delighted with the purchase. I got my PS5 on release date and I have put in a LOT of hours, but the value I've gotten out of Gamepass in the short few weeks since I got the Series X is just insane.
I've completed the Halo Infinite campaign, bashed the multiplayer, spent countless hours in Horizon, had a load of sessions on Back4Blood with my mates - something we have never done on any other game or console. I'm halfway through Psychonauts, and just getting into Mass Effect which I would literally have bought for £50 on PS5 if I hadn't managed to get a Series X. There's much more too but these are the highlights for the minute. All this has cost me £11 so far.
@FriendlyOctopus The review on this site seemed to well justify this reviewer's score in my opinion. You'd rather they just gave it a 10/10 because they knew that's what you wanted them to do?
I held off on playing this any further (after the first hour gave me a crash and multiple bugs) and honestly I really want to be excited about it again. I so much want the game they promised!

I did not expect to be this guy 😂

It is the best deal in gaming, by a mile.
Re: These Five Games Are Coming To Xbox Game Pass (January 6-13)
Thought Outer Wilds was already on there! Regardless, I played it through on PlayStation and it instantly shot into my all time top ten. Try it out!
Amazing news about Mass Effect - literally just saved me 50 quid

Re: Video: Here's The Official Xbox Series X|S Walkthrough
UI looks good, everything seems really speedy which is nice to see. Dirt looks rotten though, why on earth did they choose that game to show off.
Re: Video: Here's 13 Minutes Of Horror-Adventure Scorn Running On Xbox Series X
Really visually boring here in terms of colour. Hope there's more to the game in this respect than varying shades of brown and red.
