Re: Xbox Series X and PlayStation 5

I would assume it’s because they don’t actually care all that much about PC gaming. If the PC version let me run my XB1 account, I’d double dip. But none of my Yard, MUT, or any other progress carries over. I think the use of next gen stats looks interesting, but I bet it takes 2-3 years before it w...

Re: NHL 21 News

I played The Yard in Madden last night without any issues. Well, without any issues other than getting beaten. Did win one dumb game when i was losing 9-7 and my opponent was trying to score, when he could just run the ball. He had first and goal inside my five, and after three incomplete passes wit...

Re: Xbox Series X and PlayStation 5

I'm much closer to spending money on an Oculus 2 than a console. For me it is the HP Reverb G2 that is calling. I have not done much VR research, other than making sure my PC was capable of playing Half-Life: Alyx on the Valve Index if I decided I wanted to. I figured it was a good gaming baseline ...

Re: Kicking The Tires On A New TV...Advice Needed

I just order the 65” Sony X900H. I had $50 on Morikawa to win the PGA this week ($500 win), sold my current TV to a friend, and I’m currently selling one of my Xbox One X’s. All that covers the price of the new Tv. It is “Ready for the PS5”. 4K, 120hz refresh, Variable refresh rate, HDMI 2.1, etc. ...

Re: Xbox Series X and PlayStation 5

For some reason I can’t get the EA Play Hub app working on the new console. Anyone else having issues? Check your Game Pass library. Everything should be in there now. It was a pretty massive dump of games. I happened to look last night at newly added games, and it was the entire EA Play library. S...

Re: Xbox Series X and PlayStation 5

That's exactly what I did. I sold my PS4 and Xbox One 3.5 months ago in preparation of the new consoles. I missed console gaming more than I thought I would. I've been playing on my son's gaming pc which has been nice. But I've come to the conclusion I'd rather just game on a console going forward ...

Re: XBOX Game Pass (Ultimate)

I've been waiting to play Fallen Order, but had decided this was exactly what I was paying EA Play (EA Access) for. It's what makes it a good deal, even if I still only get 10% off the sports games I buy long before they get to the Vault.

Re: Xbox Series X and PlayStation 5

So will there be consoles at retailers on Nov 10th outside of pre-orders? I might be just missing it, but I am not finding much info. As said earlier, it seems launches anymore are a pain in the ass. Near as I can tell, no. Retailers are barely getting enough to do pre-orders officially. It's a wei...

So my teenagers have officially proclaimed that they want an XBox series X. Main reason is to play with their friends. I guess that gets us off the fence.

My Sony X900H TV’s firmware was updated today :D. It unlocked The much anticipated “PS5 Ready Feature” of 120 hz which is the reason I got the TV. All set for Next Gen consoles :D My x900e got an update today, too. Not sure what was in it though. I looked to see if the Apple TV app was there, but i...

Re: Xbox Series X and PlayStation 5

Truth. I'm considering a Series S for my office, since I have 1080p monitor. There is no real reason to do this, as I really prefer gaming on the couch. But it's :only" $300 and I can test it out on my TV and see how it compares to the One X. And that is a complete bullshit rationalization to spend ...

Re: Xbox Series X and PlayStation 5

And ignoring the PS5 fanboy refrain of, "Why buy an Xbox when I can play all their exclusives on PC?" Microsoft has pushed for crossplatform gaming, put exclusives on PC, and are now even giving GameStop a % of sales earned on consoles they sell. And they are still called anti-consumer. It's always ...

Re: Xbox Series X and PlayStation 5

If anything, making a stink about a 1080p UI is clueless. How much power do you want the console to waste on crap that literally doesn't matter? Whether it is the environment, your electric bill, or just the performance of the console, there are good reasons not to go 4K in the UI. The only reason t...

Re: NBA Live 20 is cancelled

I’d strongly disagree with that comparison. I think Live is the shallower game, including games play. But what I liked was that the game would execute the animations based on context. So the game looked cool, even though I’m just playing straight. You can force animations of particular moves and sho...

Re: R.I.P. Bob Gibson

Was talking to my mom about that. My dad has an autographed Gibson jersey in his office. The closest the Cardinals ever had at matching Gibby's intense competitive drive was Chris Carpenter. Carp never matched Gibby's production, but that was a guy who approached winning as so primary, that he wante...

Re: Xbox Series X and PlayStation 5

That’s the problem. I have two cubby shelves under my tv. Both are 18” wide. I currently have a Switch, One X, DVR and Apple TV on those shelves. But a PS5 will not fit by itself.

The Series X has about 6 inches of clearance, and 3 inches of headspace.

If Sony wanted me to won a PS5, they should not have made it 19 inches tall. It literally will not fit on my TV stand. Which is insane considering what I and everybody wondered about the Series X when it was revealed, like how would THAT fit under my TV. I'm getting closer and closer to wanting Seri...

I would be very interested in playing. I've looked at the options via the Steam version, but have not looked at the Xbox version yet. I would assume they are the same.
