Which xbox was that? 360 or newer? (Rant: their console naming conventions make no sense)
SONY PS5 (PlayStation 5)

Modern consoles require internet for a lot of things.
I see the XSX requires an account on first setup, and can be offline afterwards (which is a good reason to not have one if you don't want an account).
For the PS5 I couldn't find a conclusive answer, looks like it might work without internet and running purely from disk.
Having a PS5 diskless-edition isn't a good option either then, if you don't want to have a PSN account.
Luckily it doesn't require an app to use, which for some reason is really in nowadays for things that really don't require one. Like a hotel that only gives access via an App (why people? If it's an extra, sure. But not only an App. What if your phone dies...)

Still fresh, damnit!
I had a 360 and original xbox. Live became much more of a thing during the 360 generation, so I had to miss out on that.

I actually still have a Star Wars edition 360. My one and only Xbox, and I do think it's great - although I haven't used it since I deleted my MS account. If it will work, I might dig it out and dust it off again over the xmas holidays.

Are you kidding? For a start, Horizon Forbidden West and Elden Ring both came out last week.

Elden Ring sometimes runs 60fps on PS5, you can't get near that on Xbox Series-X, not even with compatibility mode.
And PS VR2 might arrive this year to.
I don't have either consoles yet
I'll wait for a Pro/Light, whatever newer version comes out.

Yeah playing the hell out of Forbidden West, loved the original and this is a solid continuation.

According to Reddit, PS5 has been jailbroken. Next stop: Pokémon Red on PS5. Can’t beat the classics.

My sister says PS5 is in stock at her GameStop. She asked me if I wanted one even though it’s a $600+ bundle, and I said yes, so hopefully she’ll pick that up before it sells out.

My sister says she got the last bundle. Says it comes with a pink extra controller. Says she’ll bring it to me tomorrow. Dude, I’m getting a PS5!

Man, it’s past eight, and I don’t have my PS5 yet. This wouldn’t bother me as much if I would wake up at six instead of two like a normal person.

I talked to my sister, and she isn’t stopping by until at least five in the afternoon. Guess I’m gonna be up all night with my PS5.

Bah, I’m too excited for PS5 to do anything but sit around being boring. Plus, my feet are still sore from walking three miles this morning. Oh well, only three and a half hours to go.

I'm not sure what games you may be getting with it, if any, but don't overlook Astro's Playroom - it's surprisingly awesome (and free), and a great demo of the PS5 controller. It's only one of 2 games (God of War) that I completed 100% on.

Okay, my sister should be here with the goods in about half an hour. She also sent me $160 PSN credit in advance so I could subscribe to PS Plus Premium. I didn’t want to bother recovering my old account, so I already created a new one and started it on PS Plus.

Played Astro’s Playroom. Cleared the GPU Jungle. Got five bronze trophies and one silver.
Also claimed and downloaded my PS Plus copy of Hot Wheels Unleashed, but haven’t played it yet.
