You want to buy a pc but the problem is you already own it and don’t want to pay for it again ? Haha 10/10 nice humor you have there, definitely laughed out loud because of your funny joke.

Both are great so maybe go with the platform where most of your friends play?

I’ve typically been an Xbox player but ended up with a PS as well so I can link up with friends on Fifa. If cross play is across all those games you mentioned, then maybe see which exclusives you prefer.

Bro..A gift is a gift tho, used or new, more performance or less performance, it's still considered a gift, & it's still a current-gen console as well. It's the thought that truly counts man, I'm sure a kid who has no xbox at all, will still appreciate & enjoy his xbox gift from him. He didn't have to do that at all, he could of sold it, use that money towards his upgrade & be done with it but he thought of the kind giving idea, & wanted to give it to his cousin who doesn't have one or doesnt have the funds to get one. While at the sametime, getting a upgrade for him, which is okay, his money, his choice. It's a win-win scenario. What's the difference if he at the beginning already had the Xbox Series X/PS5 already, & he wanted to give the series s away as a gift since it's no longer needed? Would you rather him not give him an xbox at all if it isn't the newest/best console in the market rn? not everyone gets a generous gift on birthdays, Best to be happy getting a gift at all ya know, especially an xbox..to a kid.

At the end of the day, it all will have to come to your references. I own both consoles and they are both very much worth every penny. Which platforms are your friend playing, or most of them are playing on? It can be a deciding factor for you.

As for how they're worth, the xbox series x/s are better in terms of value, they give you free cloud save, gamepass is a cheap way of getting you hands on a big library of games including some big AAA titles for only 16$/month. Despite some others may say about the series S tho, it is actually a blast when I had it (I switched to the X since I have lots of game discs). A lot of games can be played 60fps without worries and most of the new games are being released with the S optimized fpr 60fps, while the older games are being/already remastered/optimized for 60fps as well. With the price of 300$us with only 1080p and no 4k, it is hard to ignore if you have no problem with being fully digital. The X at 600$us, can do all the S can and then add in 4k 60fps, if you own a 4k tv/monitor, it would be super awsome to buy the X.

Ps5 both digital and physical can handle 4k, 60fps just fine with a difference of 100$us between the two. But they don't offer free cloud save, the feature is locked behind their subscription service, in which if you pay, you can also access a more variety of stuffs like their equivelent version of gamepass, game demos (for a higher price level of course). Haptic feedback on their controller is also a very nice feature, it provides some addition realistic feeling into your game, but most of the time I am to focus on the game than the feeling of the trigger on my hand.
