          For a ten year old I’d go with the one that he thinks is cooler, or that his friends have, and I think in most cases that’s a PS5, especially with Spider-Man on it. I find the PS has a slightly wider variety of games too, as he’s not going to be playing HALO or Starfield at that age. I’m sure you can’t go wrong but I’d go with a PS.

          Ask your 10yo if they're a fan of Spider-Man.

        • erenjaeger on 15/11/2023 - 18:52

          I’ve played both Xbox and PlayStation and I would recommend Xbox. Game Pass Ultimate is an excellent deal, you’ll be able to play online while simultaneously having access to hundreds of games. You also get cool perks every month but some are better than others so not the biggest selling point but it’s still there.

          Regardless, I think it would be best to ask your son what console his friends play and use that to determine what you get. Although there are some games that offer cross-play functionality, most of them require you to have the same console as your friends if you want to play with them. That can be a big factor as I can assure you your son will feel very lonely knowing his friends are playing together while he’s stuck on another console, take it from my own personal experience hahaha.

          Concerning controllers, I do believe the PS5 may have the better controller as of now but Xbox is releasing a new controller to combat it so not an issue there. Additionally, Xbox’s ability to customise your own controller is completely unmatched, PlayStation doesn’t even come close and I don’t care how bias that sounds, it’s true. If you want to be a little extra for your son or even yourself, check out Xbox Design Lab, you can customise a controller to your preference. It is quite expensive hence why I’m calling it a little extra but could be suitable as a birthday gift or reward for good behaviour.

          Hope this helps! Have a good one.

        • TheDukeOfNukem on 15/11/2023 - 18:25
          +4

          To be fair, on the PS5 the only games we've bought this entire gen that weren't also on PS4/Xbox One is Ratchet and Spider-Man. Ratchet is now on PC and Spider-Man 2, while still really (profanity) good, is nowhere near the first one.

          Frankly, outside of Dev Mode, there's no real need to get a Series or PS5 yet. There's improvements to the UI with things like quick resume and faster load times on Xbox, but that's not enough to buy a console, and on PS5 side, the menu is clunkier, there's less functionality than the PS4 (there isn't even a (profanity) web browser last time I checked, and if there is, it's so hidden I gave up looking), the WiFi is significantly slower, and so on.

          I don't think either is worth buying, but if you're gonna buy one, yeah, the X is the call. It also doesn't take up half your living room and look like the Sydney 2000 Olympic Torch while doing it.

          • Magical Sound Shower on 15/11/2023 - 19:35

            @TheDukeOfNukem: Genuinely curious what WiFi speeds do you get on your PS5?

              @Xianese: CDs are great for the car, I've bought probably a dozen albums this year, including the new Blink182 and Taylor Swift records in the last month.

              Web browsers are great to have on a console. Not to use as a replacement, but for things like jumping onto the internet when there's a sign in page, Googling how to beat the boss you're stuck on, basic shit like the weather or something when you can't be bothered yelling at Alexa. Like I don't use the Xbox broswer for long, but it's used at least a couple times a week.

              Regardless of if you don't use them. The thing has a disc drive and an internet connection, may as well let me play CDs and surf the web. There's no benefit in removing features.

      Both would make any 10 year old happy tbh.

      An Xbox with game pass though gives them a pretty big library to start with for a decent price. Especially when MS finally adds the Activision range to game pass.

      Crash. Spyro. Tony Hawk etc. all age appropriate.

      The Xbox really strives for it's gamepass and games catalogue so really depends on the games they want to play

    • snoopydoop on 15/11/2023 - 20:04

    • vid_ghost on 15/11/2023 - 18:06

      Yes Microsoft have a new refreshed one coming out… BUT the new xbox no longer has a 4k Disk drive… unlike Sony that has retained the disk drive for their refreshed model.
      Microsoft doesn't want you buying disks anymore.. They want you subscribed to Xbox like Netflix

      I think they will be forced to sell an ADD on USB 4k Disk drive for people who own the games on disk and need to buy a replacement console to replace a broken one.

      • Everettpsycho on 15/11/2023 - 18:13

        Honestly with how games now install off the disc and end up downloading a giant patch anyway the need for 4K disc drives seems silly now. For all that installs and loads from the disc nowadays you could probably just stick a floppy disc drive to use as license validation and have room to spare on the media. Physical media is dying and it's not the digital sales killing it, it's just turned in to a way to hold your software license and little extra.

        • vid_ghost on 15/11/2023 - 18:33

          I just purchased 20 used xbox one games at around $1 to $5 each .. from CeX and Ebgames. I use them on my Xbox Series X console.
          If they were only available digitally it would of cost me a fortune to buy them from the Microsoft store
          Don't kid yourself… this is the reason why they want to kill off disks and the used market for games.. They are losing millions of dollars because you can buy cheap used games.

          Everyone knows the disk is just the license check for games to start.. Its been like this for years and updates can be 50Gb's+ to download even on the old xbox one and PS4

          There are options to install from disk without needing to download an update. you can skip it. Saves time.

            +1

            @vid_ghost: I'm not suggesting physical goes away entirely, just that for what the disc actually does now it doesn't need the capacity of 4K blu ray, they could literally put the cheapest cd rom drive in and it would have the capacity needed for validating a license key which is all it's doing and save themselves the money.

            You can skip the download but the bugs most prerelease software have can be horrific and day one patches fix all manner of mess that gets shipped on discs. The real time saver is pre downloading the game then using the disc to show you own it.

        I still use the Xbox one from I think maybe 2017 maybe still works great and have a very huge library.

        So are you saying Microsoft are going to phase out being able to buy physical games?
        Like the Xbox one I like to own them, yes I had game pass for last 3 years which expired recently.
        I let my kids use the game pass and very rarely I would be on the Xbox and still a ton of games sealed.
        I did use it more back in the day.

        I do fancy this Xbox x as I said I get it when it gets cheaper as I did this with Xbox one I waited a few years and got it.

        I believe I can use my Xbox games on the Xbox x?
        I like the idea it’s got 4K as I have a few 4K movies, even though I have a good dedicated 4K player and tv in another room.

        The room I plan on using the if I got the Xbox x has only a 3d tv yet and yes I still enjoy watching the 3d movies again which I have a ton to watch still.
        So an Xbox x would not benefit from 4K currently with the 3d being there.
        As they 3d tv are so rare these days it will sit here till it dies.

        I could give my son the my current Xbox one and stick it in our bedroom, he has his switch set up on the 4K tv in main lounge.

        I just like to have the 3d tv in the cinema room so to speak so less used and abused, but one day it will die and a 4K tv will go there.

        • bwatt72 on 15/11/2023 - 19:48

          Xbox one S that are on ebay for $130 have 4k Bluray players on them
          Same with Xbox one X on ebay for $220

          If that's all you want its cheaper to get one of those revised updated consoles VS this next gen one.

            I don’t need to get a dedicated 4K player I have two in the house I just not got 4K tv in the cinema room it’s a 3d tv.
            This has got me thinking I forgot I have a 4K tv in bedroom 65 inch maybe I can put this in cinema room and 3d tv in bedroom so it lasts even longer.
            That way I can use and watch 4K in main lounge and cinema room and if I need to watch 3d go into the bedroom.
            If I did get xbox x in this deal this can be hooked up to 4K tv as well.

      There was that leak suggesting a digital version next year that's a cylinder instead but who knows if that's real. Their slim version is the reduced power series s that came out alongside the X. That thing is small for a current console, it feels like a densely packed in unit.

    What's the current trade in price for basic switch consoles? Got two spare thinking of trading them in with my level 4 benefits for this.

    There is nothing to play on Xbox. What a shame! Microsoft needs to lift up their game and make games like Sony's first party

      The new Forza is good. But yeah not much 'big' games at the moment

    Is there any upcoming or recent releases (other than Spiderman 2) for Playstation 5 I'd be missing out on? I previously had one and played GoW, Spiderman, Bloodborne etc;

    Just wanna get an idea of these first party games everyone's talking about

    Might wanna keep your eyes peeled to see if anyone prices matches but includes D4 or MW3 which are current deals with a few suppliers.

    Edit/Update:
    Amazon might be the go, their 'Standard' Xbox Series X has a promotion for MW3
    https://www.amazon.com.au/Microsoft-RRT-00021-Xbox-Series-Co…

    "Free MW3 - Xbox Series X Physical Copy
    Buy a Select Series X Console during the event period and receive a free copy of Modern Warfare 3 Xbox Series X Standard Edition (Physical Copy). Add both products to cart with discount applied at checkout. Offered by Amazon AU. Here's how (terms and conditions apply)"

    "Offer commences on 10 November 2023 at 00:00 AEST and ends when all 1000 units of the Promotional Item, that form part of the Offer have been claimed or, alternatively, ends at 23:59 AEST on 16 November 2023, whichever is earlier.""

    So you might be able to sneak in a copy of MW3 as well. Or sell it off, as it's a physical copy (if they include it).

      Oh interesting - is this a case of possibly amazon just updating tomorrow when this goes live (if they decide to price match)?
      This would be pretty great.

      • Testeagle on 15/11/2023 - 19:42

        You could maybe risk buying now, as the consoles have a few days for delivery ("Usually dispatched within 2 to 3 days"), then ask them to price match tomorrow when ebgames goes live or before with link. But it's a risk, you could always cancel before they send.

        Technically the game is free, so they may match it.

        Ebgames has the same deal, however they have made sure to make separate ad for the sale xbox, which doesn't have MW3, unless they add it.

        • nigel deborah on 15/11/2023 - 20:21

          This is the way to do it. Even if they post, just don't accept delivery and it's a full refund. If they don't match , cancel immediately and buy wherever else

      So if Amazon price matched eb games what is the difference in your Amazon line as one says mw3 and other standard yet I’m sure both say it’s included I’m confused

      • Testeagle on 15/11/2023 - 20:03

        Well here's my take.

        One is a dedicated bundle. The the other is the 'Standard' Xbox with a promotion. So they wouldn't match the bundle in my opinion, but they may match Xbox for Xbox, it's just Amazon has the promotion attached to the Xbox, where ebgames doesn't. So it may slip in under the radar and get the game included, as they just match the price.

        • bwatt72 on 15/11/2023 - 20:06

          So which of the two Xbox’s on Amazon comes with the physical game as might see how it goes.

          • Testeagle on 15/11/2023 - 20:08

            @bwatt72: If you look at the 'Standard' option, it has the promotion details. The +MW3 Bundle doesn't have the promotion text, it's just a bundle with both items discounted (Xbox $727.11 and MW3 $71.89).

            • bwatt72 on 15/11/2023 - 20:09

              @Testeagle: Sorry I’m confused one shows game other does not?

              • Testeagle on 15/11/2023 - 20:10

                @bwatt72: If you click on the 'Standard' option not the +MW3 option, the "Promotion Message" is just under the price. Without taking a screenshot and uploading, I'm not sure how I can be clearer unfortunately.

                • bwatt72 on 15/11/2023 - 20:13

                  @Testeagle: Yes I think I get it so the standard one the mw3 game is hidden and you think this might slip through? But is it better deal than trying to get some gift cards and get say jb to match?
                  What is the game worth?

                  • Testeagle on 15/11/2023 - 20:15

                    @bwatt72: Game is around $79.99 currently. If you can save more or close to that with gift cards, might be worth just doing that.

                    One thing I like about MW3 on Xbox Series X, is it is Mouse and Keyboard compatible.

      • SpeedAU on 15/11/2023 - 22:23

        Amazon won't price match, they will wait till their black friday sale. I'd rather buy it from Amazon than EB Games though, they're a nightmare to deal with if something goes wrong.
