                Both PlayStation and Xbox have Bluray disc drive.

                AAA PC games are more troublesome for people with poor internet connection because, where do you buy disk for games nowadays? At least in my country, the CD shops have extincted.

                  Shadow of the Tomb Raider
                  Control: Ultimate Edition with DLCs (related to Alan Wake and contains huge easter eggs)
                  Batman Arkham Knight with DLCs (highly recommended best batman game ever created)
                  Beyond two souls (different genre)
                  BioShock Infinite with DLC (doesn't require playing other parts)
                  And definitely Forza Horizon 4
                  Assassin's Creed Origins

                    I would have bought a console for gaming but the thing is, I don't have good internet providers where I live. Here 4G works like 2.5G. How would I download those huge games lol.

                      Trollhammeren, 21 Sep 2020OH F me ... there go a lot of good PC titles ... F consoles...Microsoft - Windows - PC.

                      No worries about PC titles then :-)

                          Nvidia Geforce GTX 1650 Super. But I am sad, because just 2 months after I purchased this, I could get at the same price the GTX 1660 (with some very good disscount). But, it is what it is.
                          The rest of the components don't matter that much for the end results, maybe couple of frames each and there.
                          Just for the record, I have an nvme 500GB SSD from Kingston and 8GB ram DDR4 Hyper X.
                          The whole built cost me around 550EUR (including accessories). Without monitor.
                          I do not play the latest and greatest games thou. I play the games I like. Being that in the last 3 years I didn't have any PC, I am playing catch up now.
                          The last games I played (some of them finished already) are:
                          Alan Wake, The Outer Worlds, A plague tale: Innocence, Saint Row IV, Sunset Overdrive, Ori something, Alien Isolation. From Game Pass for PC database.

                          I do not know where you live, but with 1000EUR in my country, you can built a Ryzen 5 3xxx series (even ryzen 7 if you cut down in other components, like ram or motherboard or PSU, you do not need modular psu for example, no performance gain from it anyway) and an RTX2060 for example. Without monitor of course.

                            For me, consoles are perfect for racing or arcades. Nothing can match Forza Horizon 4 on a big 4K HDR10+ TV. At least not at that price point.

Even thou I had many of them in the past, PC will be always the number one for me. Also, because I need PC for other stuff too. So, why buy a different gadget just for gaming (like consoles), when you can get a decent PC (500-600EUR) and use it for everything (work, web browsing, social media, Netflix, gaming 1080p 60fps high settings).
                                      Thanks to Microsoft, Game Pass for PC exists (5EUR/month and I have some 120 games to choose from; and they are constantly improving). I do not need Game Pass Ultimate.

                                      If we're talking exclusives, the only Sony exclusive I truly liked was The Last of Us. Other exclusives I played, just because I was bored or I just wanted to try them out (including God of War, Horizon Zero Dawn or Shadow of Colossus).
