Deej Alex I’ve got both and find them pretty much the same. Haven’t had to to deal with support much but when I have they have been excellent. I’ve never had the nerve to move my current account to them either of them although I really should.
SRR Brave I think there’s a lot of behind the scenes stuff going on with Visa. My bank told me earlier this year that my normal bank card is going to change from Visa debit to Mastercard debit in the New Year. This was a good couple of months before the Amazon announcement.
Gordon Alex None that I’ve seen. We use Monzo for our joint account and running household stuff, and I use Starling for my personal current account. It’s been about 2 years now and both have been great. I prefer Starling but it’s mostly just because I find their app slightly less cluttered and more pleasant to use. I’d take either of them in a second over Clydesdale/Virgin Money.
Jogort Revolut is also another decent online bank, I use my rebuilt card as a daily/household card, never had any issues.
Gammerz DrDamn Was that a series X or S offer? All the Amazon ads I saw took me to S, even though one said X.
DrDamn Gammerz Series X. They are all sold as options on the same page, so will default back to something in stock once they’ve all gone.
Brave Literally just getting mine updated. I have named it the same name as about 50% of xbox owning sci-fi nerds. The Monolith. That thing is a slab.
Alex I’m suddenly thinking headsets. I have the Turtle Beach Stealth 600 which I think is PlayStation only. Am I going to need two different headsets for PS and Xbox or are there ones that work on both systems?
SRR I’m sure there are others, but from what I’ve read the Arctis 7x seem to be the best bet for cross console use. Ironically the 7p is a bit hit and miss. 7x….Xbox model 7p…. PlayStation model
Brave If you have the option to plug it into a 3.5mm jack then it should be good to go? Right? I just plug my Corsair set into the Xbox controller. Although I keep forgetting to turn down the TV sound. That’s such a weird design choice.
Deej Have to say that MS have done a pretty good job this time around. We’ve used our XBoxes far more than the PS5 so far and mini-me’s friends appear to mainly be on Xbox too. Game Pass has proved an absolute winner in our house.
Gordon I’ve got the Arctis 7P and they’re lovely. Sound great and they’re incredibly comfy, even for someone with a big noggin like me. If the 7X was ever in stock I’d probably grab them so I could use one headset for both consoles.
Alex Got it setup and updated. But now 50gb install for Halo Infinite. Xbox really needs some sort of Astrobot-style appetiser game. It’s a bit of an anticlimax! I actually like the design of it more than I thought I would. The top is very cool.
Fumanstu What’s the website that’s good for checking Xbox and PS console stock levels? In the market for an S or X….
Alex Depends a lot on what games you want to play. PS5 has an insane back catalogue of games most of which are free if you have PS+. GamePass is a bit quantity over quality by comparison right now
Fumanstu Alex ah sorry, I meant between a Series S and a Series X. There’s not much in the way of PS5 exclusives that I’m that bothered about in the foreseeable.
