PlayStation 5 or XBOX Series X

Bolderhumphreyreid

Help!

My son has an Xbox Series X. He plays Fortnite on it. Do you need Xbox Live?

We had Xbox Live until Feb this year and then we had a free 3 months using a code. After this ran out he was still able to play Fortnite with his friends.

The other night we had a power cut and since then Fortnite doesn’t work. We’ve tried everything including resetting everything but no joy.

Have we just been lucky in not paying for Xbox Live when we should have and the power cut has reset everything?

PS5 rules, just for the controllers, let alone the games.

Just been looking at the new PS5 controller with options to change sticks and buttons etc. Bloody £209.00!!!! Have a laugh there. Its a no for me. 

Anyone looking at their VR2? £579 with Horizon VR, can't see many other games.

This is Charlton Life.  There's only one game you should be playing.

Absolutely bonkers. Would've be appalled at seeing it cost £120+ tbh

Yep got one, bloody love it. Its actually become my go to video game machine. 

It helped that I already had been PC gaming for years, and back in the 90s on my Amiga, so I was always going to be partial to it.

Its just mind blowing that I can now play modern AAA games in the palm of my hands.

Have one pre-ordered with Horizon. They've recently announced it'll be compatible with GT7. Hopefully it'll be the full game this time.

Quite a few games at launch, certainly seems more stacked than when the original PSVR released.

Once the work around is confirmed for certain sites I’m all in!

Been tempted by a PSVR2 as I enjoyed the OG PSVR. Trouble is don't have a PS5 yet, so to get the full set up Im probably looking at £800-900 for this?

Probably £1k without games.

I ended up getting one, agree its a great piece of kit especially if you don't have the main TV easily accessible. 

I've mainly just been playing xbox game pass online.

I think you meant 2028, unless I’ve missed something Rob. 😬
