The PS4 also automatically routed all audio to your headphones the moment you plugged headphones into the DualShock. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

for now I prefer xbox's "can put your headphone audio on a digital output or through a better amp if you want" solution, but obviously both consoles should have a toggle. at least the dualsense's analog out has a lower noise floor than the elite

I actually prefer the way the Xbox does it* because it means I can use headphones with the controller and capture video with audio through HDMI at the same time. There's no way to do this with PS4/5, you end up with no audio in your capture.

*It should absolutely default to off through HDMI if you plug in headphones, though, and let you turn it back on if you want it.

Agreed.
The first time I used a One and plugged my headphones in without realising the TV was still making noise at like 2am was funny though

I wonder if the existence of Game Pass and any performance incentives for Ddevs on Game Pass will lead to changes to the rhythm and pacing of games. Because if the tutorial is kind of dragging, I will absolutely uninstall your life's work in an instant to see if something else grabs me.

It's possible. Netflix examines people's viewing habits rather extensively and decisions for future content are made based on that, so I can see Microsoft doing something similar and sharing "best practices" with devs on what players like and dislike.

my point is there are no rules, we live in an age of chaos!!!

but yeah phil spencer said those games would be exclusive to platforms that have gamepass so they probably won't be on playstation unless sony gives in and lets microsoft put gamepass on ps5, which isn't gonna happen.

i imagine that's going to be the company refrain in the coming years as a way to leverage other platform holders like sony and nintendo and maybe steam to host and advertise gamepass.

I keep going into settings to double check that I have my series x set to energy saving mode because it boots so fast. Seriously if you don't care about remote downloads I highly recommend going with energy saving, everything still boots up and load extremely fast and quick resume functions normally as well.

Hell yeah, it's got faster since launch as well. My One X took over a minute for a cold boot, with the Series X I'm already gaming.

Honestly just follow one of the restock dudes on twitter. It's all a crapshoot anyways once you get in the queue on any of the websites. Just make sure you're logged into Best Buy/Microsoft etc and you'll know whether you've got one or not in about 15 minutes

As has been pointed out the other major console does it how most people expect it to work.

When I plug headphones into my phone / tablet the speakers stop playing the sound.

It’s also weird that there isn’t at least a toggle for it.

Honestly maybe the end of the year? Shits hosed on a lot of levels.

They don’t expect GPUs to stabilize till like 2022 at the earliest (maybe 2023).

I went to a couple of thrift shops today and saw an xbox one s for $249 and a ps4 for $199
I keep thinking I need to stop being lazy about it and list my spare xbone on eBay
Is there anything on game pass that isn’t a Series S/X exclusive situation that won’t play on the vcr xbone?

I see you never owned a PS4 or PS5, which switch the audio automatically -- something I'd expect from a modern console like the Xbox Series X
