For those that own the Dell/AW OLED, any burn in concerns/issues?
Nah there is an aggressive pixel refresher like when you manually turn of the monitor it automatically clicks on. I have two LG oleds and the AW oled. I do think the proper tern is IR/image retention. BI harkens back to the plasma days. It really takes an extreme to hit that and even LCD tech can have BI.

That AW/Oled is sweet. The UW aspect is great for most games. That said having that true 4k aspect is great as well honestly have both.
 
Okay so I got Fifa 23. It's disappointing because as manager I can't watch my simulated games. EA needs to change that.
 
Overwatch 2 has me hooked again. Not as much as back in 2016 when the first Overwatch dropped, but it reminded me of why I loved this game in the first place. Hopefully the relatively quicker pace of new hero releases will keep it fresh longer than OW1 was. The last few years of OW1 was a slog, game definitely got stale.
 
So no GOW Ragnarok on x box .... well didnt want to play your cool new game anyway. 100% not getting tired of 4 straight years of RDR2 ..

i hate you people who made GOW

The game is made by Sony studio, it will never come to Xbox.

Ragnarok is definitely making me want to finally pick up a PS5 though.

Not a console gamer but at this point not sure why humans don't have both consoles.
 
Why would anyone own an XBox when every single XBox game is also released on PC?
For me, the only Sony exclusive I care about is TLOU, and we won't see another for many years. I hate the look of the PS5, and GamePass is a good deal for me.

Plus I like to bounce back and forth. I had a PS2, a 360, a PS4, and now a Series X.

Game Pass is available on PC as well. There's no such thing as an XBox exclusive anymore, as Microsoft requires all its developers to also release on the PC. The only downside is the occasional bad PC port from a console game, but we're seeing more and more games that don't run well on consoles at launch either (Cyberpunk, the new Batman game, etc etc etc)

The Horizon series is well worth getting a PS for as is Ghost of Tsushima.

I know, but no PC could match or really come close to the performance/$ you got from a Series X or PS5 at launch.

Now? I don't know, maybe, but I got my Series X on launch day.
 
Thats fair.
I hear the wheels turning in your head, you’re probably thinking like me, primarily a PC gamer and if you were instead primarily a console gamer the cost of two consoles pales in comparison to a top end gaming PC.

I dabble in consoles, so I don’t have both, but if I ONLY played consoles, 100% I’d have both. I’ve primarily kept with the PS line as more of a Home Theater device that plays my favorite soccer and golf games lol…
 
I have an odd combo at the moment, Series X + Steam Deck + Switch + Gaming laptop (2060m).

I use them all regularly except the Switch, but I'll go back to that when Zelda and Fire Emblem come out in 2023.

I hated the first GOW game (the reboot). They forced you to switch weapons 1/2 way through the game (among other problems).

I dunno about Ragnarok. A 10 review on IGN...I guess I'll wait and see what you guys have to say...if its overwhelming positive I might buy it, down the line, when its selling for 20 somewhere.

Right now I'm enjoying Jedi: Fallen Order. Its great, though there are few problems with the controls here and there (eg. climbing is very inconsistent).
