I am loving the Xbox. Game Pass is awesome.

Is the PS5 any better or should I raffle it off and donate the money to the Children's Hospital? Haven't unboxed and figure I don't need both. I barely have time to play the Xbox. But fucken Sony. The grubs haven't even upgraded the disc drive. I have an LG C1 TV, and PS5 doesn't seem to offer any more than XSX, and neither are up with my TV. In fact, it seems like Xbox is taking over. Am I missing something with the PS5 or?

"There’s also no hiding from the fact that the PS5 doesn’t support either the Dolby Vision or HDR10+ premium HDR formats. Discs that support either or both of these formats offer extra scene by scene HDR image data that compatible players and TVs can use to produce better, more dynamic images. Not supporting either format leaves users with just the baseline HDR10 system, which doesn’t provide scene by scene image data and so requires TVs to try and make the best of the more limited data on offer."

RRP is $750 for disc edition. I figure I can sell 50 tickets at $25/pop and give the whole lot to charity. Any better ideas?

I love the Christmas spirit!

I have no idea what any of that means, I just wanted to say hi.
 
Donate it!

I have a ps4 which i got after being persuaded by my brother, in the hopes we would play games together. But he's married with two kids and has a full time career etc. So understandably he's never on, so my gaming life sucks now and I wished I'd upgraded with XBOX (i won an 360 years ago and had a gaming family, but got left behind because i couldn't upgrade)

Anyway, I've not read or seen one person say anything positive about the ps5 and even though my brother had one from a mate, i have no intention of upgrading to one.

So I'm biased but i say donate, someone somewhere will be over the moon. :)

I have friends with money. If anything, they'd be happy to give a $25 donation to the kids. Lunch money. Winning would be nice, but I don't think most of them would even care if they won or not. It's a good prize though I reckon. I can't see a reason to keep it.
 
Well I'm embarrassed

Oh my bad, i thought it was regular charity rather than an auction, but hey, it's still for a good cause, so. Let us know how it goes?

It's a raffle, darl. I could sell 50 tickets at $25 a pop. So for $25 you have a 1 in 50 chance of winning a PS5. Not bad. All monies go to the kids.
 
I'm thinking I may have to limit the sale to a max of 3 tickets per person. Otherwise one of my dickhead mates will buy the whole lot :rolleyes::D
 
Lol only you can say that :)

Meanwhile, we've got mates like John up there who've no fucking idea what they're buying :D

Funny thing is, nine times out of ten it's the clueless ones who win. :rolleyes::D

I don't know what it is, but I want it!

Typical! I wouldn't be surprised if you had a whole stash of unused stuff. Dust collectors.

The worst part is, you'd probably place the spanking new PS5 in the cupboard next to all the other unused shit you've accumulated over the years. The Sony Walkman you won at the fair in 1994. Still in the box. The cordless phones you were given at Christmas back in 1997.

People like you always win. It's so shit
 
i have the ps5 and i love it. if they could setup the same thing as the gamepass, it would be the best.

my xbox one died so i had to get the xbox series s because i cannot find the x and its ok. i have the ultimate game pass so that's all good

i would seriously suck some major dick to find an x

Too many scalpers with bots.

I got mine from EB Games. I follow EB on Twitter, and clicked on the bell to receive all notifications. You just have to keep checking. Pain in the arse, but worth it for the X. One thing I thought was a bit silly was the AA batteries in the controllers. I bought a dock and rechargeable battery set from Harvey Norman. And I'd like a Tournament controller but I can't find one. I really wanted the Halo edition X, but people are asking too much
