GPU has been pretty sweet imo. I did the $1 deal that NU was talking about a while ago (but did it for one year, not 3...). So I've been using GPU to play PUBG a lot. Can't see myself dropping $12 or whatever a month on it when my little dollar thing runs out though. For every PUBG/Gears 5 (which was Free with Gold this month anyway...), there's 15 completely fucking stupid farm simulator type games to boost their "free games" numbers.

You've answered your own questions IMO. If you have friends on one system but not the other, then go with the system your friends have. Overall, they're super similar. I have a Series X, mostly because I was already in that ecosystem. Google the exclusive games for each, see if any interest you to the point of wanting the system specifically for that game. Otherwise, it's really up to preference. I have always enjoyed the Xbox controller better, which is why I bought into that system originally. It still is true.

I've been thinking of downloading PubG again. I was really into that for like 2 years before Warzone was released. Warzone is getting a bit stale and I still like the loot system in PubG better; in warzone everyone just loots as fast as possible to get their loadouts. PubG forces you to just use whatever random drops and attachments you get.

Regarding the new Xbox, what is the difference between the X and the S?

The x is 3x more powerful in gpu performance more ram I'd have to dbl check the processor. I personally won't buy an S to play 1080 I would rather extra hp under the hood for better performance.
The S is supposed to basically be a 1080 machine where the X is supposed to be 4k machine but there are other differences.
When I bought the one x at release (the previous best console for performance) it too was a 4k capable gaming machine, but I found the enhancement of draw detail and graphics improvement for just being "enhanced for one x" to be great(in 1080) that 4k was meh and the extra power at 1080 eliminated frame rate lag while looking better than the xbox one/s versions of games .
That said the series s won't utilize the one x version of games if they are not "series s|x" optimized where the series x will run the one x optimized versions. Since you're considering it at release it will be a couple years before the performance gains are truly realized for the new series, so if not optimized having the better version may matter to you.
The x has a disc drive where the s doesn't, though reviews have said it's better to get a purpose built 4k uhd player I haven't used mine.

I like the way the X fits in my entertainment system. Obviously something left to personal preference, but it's rather unintuitive. The S is as well, but I've seen tons of memes about PS5 owners trying to figure out where to even put that monstrosity.
As far as the S, the only real benefit is the price. If you can't afford the X, the S will allow you to play the new release games for a few years at lower quality. I think I'd get the disc-less version of the PS5 for $100 more than the S.

It is a slippery slope from "just $100 more for PS5 digital!" to "It's just $200 more to the series X!" lol

yea but it if you can commit 400 to somethign what is 100 more? i dont pretend to know his financial situation but from an entertainment standpoint 2021 is still going to be slow on other things so why not? entertainment budget is entertainment budget for most people. that is like 1 good meal out different
