is the S closer in graphical performance to the new X or the current-gen One X?

Closer to the new one, because it has the super fast storage and raytracing, etc. It will run at 1440p upscaled to 4K

It's INSANE at $300 especially if you consider Gamepass

$600 bucks for the top model is actually pretty decent for Canadian pricing

Too bad the xss does not have a disc drive. I dont need the extra horsepower (dont even have a 4k tv), but I do want backwards compatibility with older games. I'm a very occasional casual gamer and am a good two generations behind on games (just finished GTA 4 during pandemic, working my way thru halo 4 now, and then have GTA 5 ready to go. All on x360). Xss with disc drive and backwards compatibility would've been perfect for me.

I mean I usually spend like $100/year on games, so $25 USD/month is pretty steep to me, especially when the games that I play aren’t included.

Looks like Canadians will be paying $30 more for the PS5 than XBox for the top model. Tsk, tsk Sony.

At those prices, you're actually getting a discount on the exchange rate (currently $500 USD is $658 middle rate, and $400 USD is $527 CAD)

MS giving you an even better rate though

I don't think pre-orders were supposed to be live until tomorrow. You can lurk amazon and check to see when they open up pre-orders or signup at BestBuy for when they open up again


EDIT: AS OF 10:10PM AMAZON PRE ORDERS ARE LIVE!

If Nvidia hadn't announced the 30 series, I 100% would be on Amazon preordering a PS5 right now. But I decided to skip that and go the Microsoft on PC route instead, and upgrade to a 3070 (or maybe see what AMD offers at $500). That platform has been improving so much. Might grab an NVM-E while I'm at it

I still think the PS has way better exclusives, but I am going around with Microsoft this time around.

I counted the number of exclusives I actually played, and was kind of surprised. Bloodborne, Ghost of Tsushima, God of War, and Yakuza 6. Yeah, I couldn't get into Last of Us or Uncharted.

More of my friends play on XBOX, it has awesome integration with PC, and better bang for my buck spec-wise.

I also managed to snag 3 years of XBOX Game Pass Ultimate using a loophole I found on RFD. https://forums.redflagdeals.com/micr...ths-1-2290218/

Don't have an XBOX yet, but there's tons of games through the pass for PC. I'm currently playing through the FFXV DLCs that are included with the pass. Not to mention that xCloud and EA Play are being included with Game Pass Ultimate, it was a huge factor in my decision.

Might still grab a PS5 down the road. God of War II will be another exclusive I will want to play, but hopefully Demon Souls is just a timed exclusive.

I ordered one pretty much just for exclusives and for couch/lounge play. Nothing beats the comfort of lying in bed or on the couch. The PS4 backwards compatibility is also a bonus and comes just in time for the cyberpunk release which gives whoever owns a current gen copy but a next gen console a free upgrade.

Yeah I kind of hate to miss out on the exclusives, but there's plenty to enjoy on XBOX/PC. Plus they are starting to release them on PC now anyway.

Exclusives are going to be "time limited" more than ever, and true exclusives - games that can be played on PC but not console (at least not as enjoyable) - are probably more important to me anyway
