It was but it was a widespread issue, a lot of the initial Xboxes were affected by it so it was a huge bother to get it sorted. It's made me hesitant to get consoles right out of the gate.

I hope it all works out, I don't think Playstations have had many issues on the RRoD level that hasn't been fixable via patches and such so hopefully nothing goes wrong with the first batch.

I hated the 360 for this very reason and I don’t think I’ll ever go back to getting an Xbox console again. When I was at school I knew so many people that this happened to but luckily it never happened with mine but I still ended up trading it in and getting a PS3 instead.

It would be the PS5 but I’m still undecided whether to get one or not and I would definitely wait at least a year before I’d go out and buy it. I’ve just kinda gone off games in general over the last few years, I wasn’t that excited when the PS4 was released and it took until 2017 for me to actually go out and buy one.

I did have a moment, a few minutes ago when I thought '**** it, let's get one' but thankfully the shortages curbed my impulsive spending

It's a good thing, tbh. I'll see how I feel when the second wave of orders is opened.

Was getting PS5 either way unless it was much more expensive.

The Digital edition looks like great value, but I do enjoy having physical copies collection. It hurts that I’ve slowly moved away from DVDs and Music, I want to try hold onto Games for abit longer.

Ps5 disc version

I'll preorder it, I'm not keen on the look of the control pad though.
