    I was with PlayStation until I got married. Had PS1 and PS2. Got married, wife wanted Xbox. We missed the OG, but we got 360, XB1, and XSX. I liked the 360 but at times it made me wish I had a PS3, because PS3 had Blu-ray and 360 didn’t. XB1 flat-out sucked. I got a great deal on the PS3. I like my PS3 way more than the XB1. By the way, XB1’s contemporary PlayStation was the PS4. I never had a PS4. I liked the PS3 (contemporary to the 360) more than the XB1.

    I only own the XSX because of All Access. For $35 a month, I got GamePass Ultimate (at the $15/month price even after it went up) and the other $20 went toward the console. 2 years later it was mine and I owed nothing else. Bonus, I got the $500 console for $480 ($20 times 24 payments). Also, I was getting GPU for $15 when month-to-month payers were paying $30. So there was that, too. Because basically I bought this $900 bundle and made payments on it. Zero interest though, and I saved $20 on the console. Heck of a deal. If Sony matched it, I’d have a PS5 instead.

    I still have that PS3. It’s a 60GB “Slim” model. I paid $150 for it and like a dozen games, but most of which I have no interest in. Skyrim and Saints Row: The Third were there, though. I should go for those plats someday, but I never chased trophies.
