Elder scrolls & Fallout are my faves but I wil... moreNot sure what's causing your bad luck with the 360 but we've had 3 of them all working for many years with no issues. 2 of them were for my kids and they rarely turned them off. None of which have had the red ring like the first xbox we had.
            Have you tried turning it off and back on.

I've got both the Xbox Series X and the PS5 and the PS5 is nowhere near as stable and polished as the Series X. I've also had disc ejection issues with the PS5 too. Game Pass on the Xbox is also a winner. Sony normally makes great consoles, but they've been well and truly out-designed and out-engineered this generation.

                      As someone who uses PC as their primary platform this is good new. Microsoft is much less likely to gate our content compared to Sony. Also likely to still offer it on Steam so no worries about it being an Epic exclusive.

                      Sony users about to see the other side of exclusives. Sucks for gamers, but it's not like Sony did leverage that throughout the console war

                                Damn it. Elder scrolls & Fallout are my faves but I will not get an X-box not after the 360 fiasco (4 with red ring of death).
                                Looks like a longer wait for the PS5 versions.
                                Boo Microsoft.

                                  this shows how greedy and afraid is american companies are 😐
                                  throwing dollars and killing the competion , pathetic.

                                      Microsoft is "killing it" on the gaming area. They saw that they can't compete with Sony in the console wars, so they decided to go with different approach. And, imo, is the more correct one.
                                      Sony, decided to keep it classic and rely on their immense fan-base. But, when things will start to shift, they will remain loyal too? I already saw some PS owners starting to complain about some things (prices on games have increased, on PS Now there is no chance to get newly released games, etc.). Time will tell probably.

                                        What a time to be alive. Who thought two decades ago that Microsoft will own franchises like Doom, Wolfenstein, The Elder Scrolls and Fallout? I know I haven't seen that one coming.
