I've been mulling over all of this hatred for Sony discontinuing physical media in 2028. It doesn't bother me because I've been all digital since the PS4 days. But what I don't like is taking things like movies/tv show/games away from people who have paid good money for them. I could get a Switch 2 cheaper or try to get a Series X, but PlayStaton is where. 3/4 of my game collection is. I just don't know what to do. One big factor is I want to play GTA6 day one.

I honestly wonder why would need random people on internet deciding what console you should buy.

get a steam machine

 

[EverydayBeast]

To me with its dependable hardware, multiple good exclusives (GT7, Ratchet, Spider, Horizon, God, Sack etc.) it's an easy decision

 

[Mortisfacio]

If you're tight on money, sure, but I'd say go PC. You get the most games and the best games. Sony hasn't had a "must buy" exclusive since 2015 in Bloodborne. The announced slate going forward doesn't change that.

 

[Humdinger]

If you're looking to play GTA 6 on Day 1, then PS5 or Xbox would be your only options, afaik.

It's hard to know whether PS or Xbox is a better choice for you without understanding your tastes, feelings about their individual lineups, etc.

I'll just throw in that if you're going to get a PS5, get a Pro if you can afford it. I'm sure GTA 6 will play better on that.

 

[Liopleurodon]

Is there any point since Metal Gear Solid, and Final Fantasy are multiplatform now?

 

[Ironman_Bad]

Errr yeah lol

 

[Represent.]

If you wanna play GTA6 then the answer is obvious

 

[r4vio981]

No.

 

[jataple]

Why you need the opinion of unknown people in a forum about how you want to spend your money? Decide for yourself, anybody else opinion is irrelevant, whats the difference between somebody saying "yes" or somebody saying "no" in this forum? None.

Decide for yourself. Dont let people decide for you.

Because some people can't decide for themselves. Actually a ton of people, that's why marketing works.

Don't buy PS5 OP, it's a trap.

 

[John Marston]

I don't have a PC and I'm very happy with my PS5 Pro.

I will be in no hurry for PS6 as I've got a huge backlog to play.

But yeah, decide for yourself

Go and check the comments on threads like this, lots of people with selfish intentions, they are mad with PS so NO DONT BUY IT, some dont care so YES BUY IT, thats why nobody should let other people decide how to spend their money.

But it is what it is. Anybody does whatever they want to do I guess

Oh I agree with you any self respecting human being decides for themselves, but most human beings don't decide things themself, and IMHO, Sony is ass, and I don't think they're worth supporting. Go PC.

I think they are worth supporting, so go PS5.

See, who is right? Who is wrong?

 

[kazuyamishima]

3/4 of your collection is on PS consoles

You want to play GTA 6 day one.

You know the answer.

 

[r4vio981]

I'm right. Easy.

 

[CLW]

 

[S0ULZB0URNE]

Yes it's a great 3rd party console.

 

[Zamana]

Don't think about hardware or console — think games.

Get what plays your favourite games the best.

 

[Hoho for breakfast]

Absolutely. I for one am pissed that they're cutting out physical, but regardless right now there's so much upcoming from GTA to Control to Valor Mortis, Wolverine, Phantom Blade 0 and so much more just in the next ~4 months it's actually crazy. Well worth buying for everything already out there and what's to come.

And right now Switch 2 is a decent buy and there's definitely a few games coming soon like Splatoon Raiders and Zelda OoT but for me personally I'd play through those games and be wondering what's next. They need a bigger library of exclusives first imo.

 

[Tobimacoss]

Yes, buy a PS5.

 

[Tobimacoss]

get a steam machine

100% don't do what this guy says.

 

[Arsic]

Let's be honest - fuck no.

Get a PS5 Pro instead.

 

[Hideous Snake]

PlayStaton is where. 3/4 of my game collection is. I just don't know what to do. One big factor is I want to play GTA6 day one.

There's your answer.

 

[down 2 orth]

"Hello, fellow gamers. I know this Sony stuff is upsetting, but I mostly play Playstation games, I embrace the digital future, and I want to play GTA 6 day one. Should I buy a Sony Playstation 5 Entertainment System™?"

*Promptly receives Gold status*

 

[Rambone]

For this generation, PS5 Pro and Switch 2 have served me well.

 

[Fake]

No.

 

[Ironman_Bad]

No.

 

[Fake]

For that price?

No. If was going to getting cheaper, yes.

 

[nikos]

I got rid of mine years ago. I'm going to buy one close to GTA VI's release, return it when I'm done with the game and double dip on PC.

$900 for an end-of-life console is a dumb purchase.

 

[Darkness_Arises]

I think they are worth supporting, so go PS5.

See, who is right? Who is wrong?

He literally says that he has a huge pre-existing PS library. It makes zero financial sense in this economy for him to go PC, unless he is willing to sail the high seas. These matters are usually subjective, but in this case yours is the objective right choice.

 

[Rockman33]

Seems odd someone who's on this site still hasn't decided which console to buy almost 6 years into this generation?

 

[neocycle]

Yes. It's the most supported, best gaming device out there.

 

[Ironman_Bad]

For that price?

No. If was going to getting cheaper, yes.

Still the best value in gaming you're running games like horizon and god of war, Spiderman at 4k upscale 60 fps for 500-599$ depending on weekly sales

Buy used you can sell used.
You help someone else in the process

 

[rkofan87]

jokes aside get a ps5 pro

 

[Sohurmk833]

No, it's shit.

 

[yogaflame]

Go for PS5 pro with discdrive if you still dont have a Ps5. This might be the last decent PS console so go for it before Sony enters to the 1000 dollar digital only and no permanent ownership of games PS6.

 

[Robb]

You want to play GTA 6 day one.

You know the answer.

This. Seems pretty clear-cut to me.

And even if you don't like them taking away your licenses you still mention that you don't care about the loss of physical media and are already all in on the digital train anyway. So it doesn't sound like that negative matters at all.

Not to mention that the same nonsense is written in all of these companies ToS agreements, so choosing a different platform on that basis alone makes little sense. They can all remove your online "purchases" (rentals) anytime they want to for whatever reason.

 

[Durin]

Your older library can always be there on your already owned device, get the new one only if it's gonna have more games down the line you want than just GTA6.

I'm not getting a Switch 2 until the OLED version, and more than just a few games on it that I want to justify the cost.

If you think there are some other games, then the choice is obvious.

3/4 of your collection is on PS and you want to play GTA6 day one and this is somehow something you're asking console warring GAF about

Dude just buy it lmao

 

[kat_on_the_roof]

Get the switch 2.
