Yeah same, US account, made it when I was there, had my US bank and cards linked to it, worked thru all the Xbox Live days of 360 era. US store has better prices, more sales n deals, so I kept the same when I came back here.
Hay there just renewed my gamepass yesterday without any issues....I think the best route is to get digital codes for game pass ultimate and redeem them without checking auto renewal method for which it requires a credit card

Well if you have legit psn games copied to an external hard drive then they will of course play on your ps5 as long as your psn id and id with which you bought the games/put on the HDD are the same

For Xbox You have Forza series, Halo, Gears of War just to name the few plus the power of game pass with which I am playing avengers which was an extremely underrated game I am having a blast in singer player campaign I don't plan on playing the multiplayer at all if it wasn't on gamepass I wouldn't have played it+back 4 blood, medium and outsiders were day one launches, flight simulator is jaw dropping the list goes on.

I don't believe in picking one console over the other as I am an enthusiast so I have picked up all 3: Series X, PS5 and Nintendo switch it solves the whole problem.

I think you can find it for 120K brand new these days might even find a better deal on a slightly used pre-owned one get the series X don't bother with series S at all and you were spot-on about the games availability for Xbox in Pakistan the difference is massive Vs PlayStation games so your best friend is eBay or other internet websites that sell USD for MS account and gamepass codes. Make the US account and get game pass ultimate it's a much better value @15$ a month you get Xbox gold+EA play+Games for both Xbox and PC.

I would suggest that you find a way to get the MS dollars and gamepass first once that is sorted buy the Xbox this is exactly what I did and couldn't be happier. At least with gamepass there's so much you can try and see if you like it or not for instance I tried back 4 blood didn't really liked it so it saved me a lot dollars just costed some GBs in bandwidth.

That's right ever since I bought my Alienware laptop with 3080ti there's no need for having xbox series x I sold mine back in September last year for 115K but I am on my game pass ultimate subscription as usual. I still think its a must have for anyone who does not own a gaming computer to complement the PS5 or nintendo switch or if on PC just get the gamepass with everything else that you're using

Now that the PS5 disk version price has gone down in Pakistan, X-Box Series X is not an attractive proposition.

I bought a PS5 UK disc version at the start of this month for Rs. 189k. The seller has now decreased the price of the same PS5 to Rs. 180k.

I think the reason for the price decrease of PS5 from 200k+ to 165k is that the supply issue has eased, and the console is now available from official stores abroad sold at $500 rather than from the greedy scalpers who were charging $800+.

Yeah depends if this is going to be your only platform (PlayStation) the availability of new and preowned games is legit in Pakistan, access to gamepass and interest in xbox offerings etc and budget for gaming. For me I just normally buy all the platforms and enjoy what's best on each platform for instance Mario and zelda on switch, gow ragnarock on ps5 and forza on xbox. If you want to have only one console or gaming unit then yeah ps5 is a no brainer

    What is peoples obsession with Battle Royale genre. 6 minutes to find a match, 3 minutes to setup a match, 2 minutes to land, 10 minutes for scavanging maybe 2 3 gunfigts and its over. Multiplayer landscape is looking absolute dogshit.
    I tried playing Apex Legends once. Couldn't find a gun for 5 minutes straight. If I found a gun, I couldn't find the right ammo for it. Got killed fighting with my fists. Uninstalled it the next day.

    After I watched it, I never felt like i watched a show. It was a friggin journey. I got way too attached to Thorfinn and seeing him grow up and find himself and get rid of all the negativity inside of him was just pure bliss.

    With how great cod warzone has translated onto mobile. Mainstream Consoles have lost its value even further. Maybe console gaming was associated with TVs and how TV is not the primary source of media consumption anymore, consoles will lose its 200 million core audiences even further.
