...which next-gen console are you buying?

Ammi · 17-09-2020, 06:16 AM

...let me think on it for a while, Shaun...I’ll get back to you with that...

Smithy · 17-09-2020, 07:25 AM

I’ll probably end up with both but neither will be at launch

Mitchell · 17-09-2020, 07:56 AM

An Atari

Toy Soldier · 17-09-2020, 08:50 AM

As a PC gamer there's literally no reason for me to buy an Xbox... Like no I don't want a mid-range PC to plug into my telly thanks. Ew.

PlayStation having excellent exclusives means that, for me, they will always win that war.

Jake. · 17-09-2020, 09:02 AM

PS5 (disc version) for me

It's looking like the digital edition for me, not for price but just because it looks nicer and its been years since I bought a game on disc. It was going to be the version with a drive, but then I found out there's no PS2 backwards compatibility

LeatherTrumpet · 17-09-2020, 10:18 AM

dig edition ps5

Nicky91 · 17-09-2020, 10:23 AM

still happy with my PS3

Niamh. · 17-09-2020, 10:49 AM

I voted PS5 because that's what I'll be getting Luke for Christmas

Dezzy · 17-09-2020, 11:42 AM

A PS5 in February/March when I know there isn't any issues with the first batch.

I can see myself getting a Series S down the line as well though if Microsoft's exclusives make it worth it.

The Slim Reaper · 17-09-2020, 11:46 AM

I'll try and get the 5 at launch, and then pick up a digital xbox at some point in the new year.

Toy Soldier · 17-09-2020, 11:58 AM

I have read that the PS5 might have supply issues at launch though. I'm not that arsed about getting one on launch day - I'd consider pretty much anything in the first 6 months as being "more or less" at launch.

Yeah, all pre-ordering is sold out whoops

PS5, I’ve never been an Xbox guy idk why

I think there's been some issue with the manufacturing of a key component (a large number had a defect) and so they haven't been able to provide enough systems to meet projected pre-order numbers.

Calderyon · 17-09-2020, 01:05 PM

Neither.

Update got there and would have got one but they don't deliver to Ireland, blast

The Slim Reaper · 17-09-2020, 02:12 PM

I've just sorted mine. Went in-store to my local Game. £10 deposit for the console, £5 deposit for Miles Morales, and £5 for extra controller.

I'd recommend doing the same Niamh. Getting it ordered online could be a problem.

I might try that, thanks Slim

Babayaro. · 17-09-2020, 02:19 PM

Think I will treat myself to the PS5, seeing as I haven't owned a console since the PS3

Babayaro. · 17-09-2020, 02:21 PM

How do people have time for BOTH consoles

Madness!

That's really disappointing

I called in to Games Stop on my break and was able to pre order the for the 2nd round, no guarantee of them coming in before Christmas though. I can always cancel that if I manage to get one sooner. I might call in to Currys on my home though and see if they have any pre orders left (you're not able to order them from the Irish website so maybe they're only doing in store orders?

)
