Now both consoles have been revealed, and both have a certain stylish look about them, it's time to ask...
Which will you be pre-ordering?
It's PS5 Digital for me. It's so rare that I buy discs now and I can't help but feel that it's going to massively undercut the Series X...
One thing I don't like is that both are designed to be used upright, but only the X looks like it could be laid down too. A very specific point but an important one. The PS5 however is slimmer and will likely get wall mounts etc. It'd also look better on display.
Nerdgasm over.

* Ok I picked up the original concrete slab Xbox on the cheap and spent a little time on the 360, those were crazy experimental times man.
i really hope it works on its side but I know a lot of thought has gone into the cooling of the beast inside so if it has to b it has to b.
to b honest if they put a PS5 badge on a Matt southall turd I would probably buy it.
That's expected to be over £100 cheaper than the XBox is rumoured to be.
Significantly better processing power.
I'm going to need to go all out and get a 4K tv for it too, so I'm probably looking close to £800 all in on my setup.
Did they mention anything about backwards compatibility with hardware? Couldn't find anything on it. I have a racing rig for PS4 and would be gutted if that was no longer compatible, means my spending for the setup would be north of £1000.
Move along to GTA 6 we know you're making loads of money from V online, but you still will in the next gen on a new game.
I'll eventually own both, I always do.
I really think that price will define the winner of the next generation.
I don't think Graphics can get that much better than they already are with what developers are doing now, that will change in the next 2-3 years I am sure.
Given it's primarily price, with graphics set to be pretty similar I'd say it just becomes a speed game, something Sony seem to have focused on whereas Microsoft have focused on how powerful graphics it can run.
But when GTA 6 arrives it had better be beautiful.
On the VR subject, they say a PSVR 2 is coming for PS5 & this is expected to be 4K , I was planning on a new TV to go with PS5 as I have with each PlayStation launch I got a new Sony TV that they recommend is optimal for gaming but this time I won’t bother although I will probably have one anyway as mine is a few years old but I won’t get the latest one to go with PS5 as since I’ve had a VR headset I’ve not gamed on regular tv since , it’s transformed gaming for me & I love it ,the 3D sound on it is excellent & this is in the ps5 but combined with VR it’s so immersive.
i watched the presentation last night on my headset on giant screen & it looked awesome
If they can deliver the Gran Turismo full game with VR in 4K, I don't think I'd need much else.
I wasn't a big fan of the PS4 VR, the graphics really let it down imo.
Ive got the original Xbox one so will upgrade to the series X as like Jimmy I've got 15 years of games on my harddrive so will be sticking with Microsoft.
My son is a PlayStation user so if I really want to play the PS only titles I can use his.
If I get one, it will be a PS

I think if they change the colour at all it will be way down the line when they start doing the slim/high spec versions which I've never bothered upgrading to before.
I am not a huge gamer, mainly fifa, i have bought GTA and played with mates but always go back to fifa (although connection been a nightmare since lockdown), also bought the odd snooker game but not really worth me buying other games normally as go back to fifa. I haven't really looked into it much but normally its just like Fifa/Pro evo debate most people will stick with what they are used to, there isn't really going to be much difference either machine? Will look more before buying it, but no instant need to get one until fifa released (shock)
