| ice said: What's everyone's Xbox eXit plan? @Spade I plan on riding the rest of this gen out, already bought a Series X (resell honestly not worth it anyways) and i'll keep it for Xbox BC and whatever console gamepass games that aren't on PC gamepass. Getting a gaming PC next gen and possibly a PS6 Anyways, I'll still be looking forward to xbox IPs and posting in here. Just a weird time to be an xbox fan Better get my trophy unlocks when I boot up Sea of thieves and Halo on PS tho lol |
Switching to PC as my main platform soonish, seems like my best option by far due to getting Xbox and PS exclusives, saving me from needing to buy a PS5, and I can still make use of the incredible value that is Gamepass. I already withdrew money from savings to pay for it, and am currently watching Amazon, Newegg, and eBay like a hawk for good PC part deals, hoping to pull off these specs for less than $500 total (while reusing my current case, power supply, and 1 TB 7200 RPM hard drive to save some money over an all-new build):
CPU- Ryzen 5 5500 (~$100)
Motherboard- Budget AM4 (~$70)
RAM- 32 GB 3200 mhz DDDR4 with 16 CAS timing (~$50)
GPU- RTX 3060 12 GB (~$220 for a refurbished model with a warranty)
SSD- 1 TB PCIe 4.0 (limited to 3.0 speeds on the budget motherboard I will be using, will eventually get 4.0 speeds from it when I reuse it on my next build in 4 years or so) (~$55)
I will be keeping my Series X most likely, I doubt I could get more than $350-400 for my used Series X and all of my physical XSX and XB1 games, so it doesn't seem worth it to sell it, better to keep it to play my old game library including the XB1 X graphics updates on some 360 and XB1 games I own.
I will probably sell my PS4 Pro and PS4 physical game collection for whatever it is worth at this point (hoping to get $200 but might be worth less now), because I doubt I will be replaying any of my PS4 games and won't be buying a PS5 or PS6 most likely, as long as Sony keeps porting to PC.
