Great, thanks. Is Modern Warfare worth £38? Wife and Child away for a week and want something fps I can play. Supports k&m as well apparently.

In a word no, it's the usual COD garbage.

Few free multiplayer FPS games around that are good if you fancy those. Apex Legends is excellent and COD: Warzone isnt bad.

Thanks, I'm loving the free part!
Yeah, there are some great F2P FPS games which are hugely popular right now. I prefer Apex over CoD because I love the fast movement which is more akin to something like Titanfall. Warzone is very much liked as well though. New season of Apex starts tomorrow can't wait.
Stand by your beds as the Series X looks like it will come in around 549 GBP (my guess) considering the die cost.

Day one for me, still at £550, it’s much cheaper than upgrading my PC.

Day one here too, no sense in waiting when the price won't come down anytime soon. Might as well be playing asap even if there won't be heaps of stuff early on. It's a decent chunk of change but in terms of cost per hour it will still be a bargain compared to most purchases.
I feel sorry for the parents who's kids will be putting this on their Christmas wish list. Hopefully the blurred lines between previous and next gen will help them out by reducing the 'urgency' to change.
I'll justify the cost by having had a good run on the One and it being time to upgrade to 4k.

there’s still the Series S cheaper model to be unveiled.
Is it childish of me to hope that if they release a streaming box, they call it the "Series E"?

£600 is what I expected, still day 1 for me. The kids will still have the "market jeans" version for (my guess is) £349 so they'll not be cut off from the next gen.

Not pre ordering myself, but if i was i'd be looking at credit card cash back, supermarket points, employer benefit discounts, free game bundles- to sell/part-ex, trade in old hardware on part-ex, etc etc.
Buying direct is lightly the last place i'd go. The rainforest is also lightly one of the worst places to go. Imagine having your new console literally thrown metres into the back of a van by delivery drivers, not exclusive to single couriers either.
Wherever does the monthly subscription offer for me. Otherwise, probably Argos as they have one in my town so I can always return it easily if it goes wrong.
I'm actually starting to lean more towards getting the XSX first now and waiting a bit longer for the PS5. Even though I have a backlog of PS4 games to play on it and literally nothing on Xbox. But there's always Game Pass...

Yeah I was tempted by the PS5, but I play my multiplats on the xbox now so don't see point in switching, I may get the PS5 further down the line when a few exclusives peak my interest.
