Heatman Posted January 26, 2022 Posted January 26, 2022 Not having any Xbox console yet, I wouldn't know if games are cheaper on Xbox consoles than they are on Playstation 4 or 5 consoles. Asking for a friend who needs the information to make his buying decision on either Xbox or Playstation. Boblee 1
Shagger Posted January 26, 2022 Posted January 26, 2022 In my experience, I haven't found one to be better than the other. They both have discounts and sales where at times will be cheaper on one of the two, but this isn't a constant think. Typically, the game will be the pretty much same price. If your friend is look to choose between the platforms, he should consider other things. Is he interseted in the subscriptions available and what platform has the better exclusive games.

Game's are really any cheaper on either platform but with Gamepass you probably won't be buying as many games at retail price so it's better value overall.
Kane99 Posted January 26, 2022 Posted January 26, 2022 I'd say about the same in terms of sales, but Gamepass still surpasses what PS has with their PS Plus service. I think it'll catch up with Xbox though on that side of it. But I think it'll eventually equal out on both ends.

I think it would be fair to the balance of this thread and so @Heatman's friend can have all the information he need if I point out PlayStation do have and equivalent to Gamepass called PS Now. They're basically the same idea. What one each individual person might prefer will come down to opinion, but I do feel Gamepass has a bit more to offer.
Kane99 Posted January 26, 2022 Posted January 26, 2022 Yes PS Now, that's what I was thinking. It is similar, but I do second your opinion that Gamepass has more to offer. But, PS Now could get better. I heard rumors a while back that they are still working on making backwards compatibility a possibility. If they can make it possible for all past games to work, that'd be awesome. If they can get some of the games on PS Now, that'd be a big get for them.

Maybe because Gamepass have been around for a while more than PS Now makes it a better option in terms of knowing how to offer gamers more.
Empire Posted January 27, 2022 Posted January 27, 2022 Simply because of platforms, PS you got Sony and Xbox Microsoft for example, PC on the other hand has a huge variety of platforms ranging from Steam to Origins to Epic. Yeah PC can be cheaper or the same in that matter Justin11 1
Heatman Posted January 28, 2022 Author Posted January 28, 2022 I have already sent him the recommendations and opinions you all suggested and he's most likely to make his decision by next week. I will update you guys!!
Boblee Posted January 28, 2022 Posted January 28, 2022 I really have a very strong feeling that he's most likely going to be choosing Xbox over Playstation. I would, if I had those information presented to me.
Heatman Posted January 29, 2022 Author Posted January 29, 2022 He's going to reach out to me most likely today or tomorrow, and then I will know his decision. Although, more of his friends play on Playstation, so that might be a factor.
Boblee Posted February 7, 2022 Posted February 7, 2022 What's the update on your friends decision? I believe that he must have made his decision by now? You didn't later update us @Heatman
Justin11 Posted February 12, 2022 Posted February 12, 2022 Both are better, it depends if it's PS4, 5, or simply Xbox X/S. I wouldn't know the one your friend wants. Simply take the opinion of Empire, Shagger, you should tell him to consider the discounts via their different online stores to subscribe through there and play digital version games.

Yeah, when I read lots of members opinions I was very satisfied with the information gotten, I believe it will satisfy Heatman which he'll definitely tell his friend too.
