This is why I hate consoles. The only "consoles" I would use are PC-based, such as Steam Deck or self-built desktop PC with SteamOS.

This way I am not locked, games are cheaper and I can move/sync game save.

In fairness, I was using my Bluetooth headphones on my deck the other day and had to switch to external audio because the latency, slight as it was, was utterly messing with my ability to play Black Mesa.

At least they treat you like an adult and give you the choice to use bluetooth, even if it may give you a lesser experience with latency.

Console-only players love to tell that their console is much cheaper than PC, but what they don't tell:

Limited amount of games.
No emulators.
Can't use as PC (e.g. elderly parents, for web browsing, with M&K)
You can't turn your console into home server/media player.
Can't have mods (both game and OS).

Xbox users, when SSD fails, they can't replace it. They have to bring it to authorized repair service for SSD change for ~$200-$300.

Playstation, if you jailbreak it AND play online - Sony will permaban your account (I have personal experience from this). Which means - I will never ever buy Sony console again.

So what I am trying to tell that consoles (xbox/ps) are basically a scam.
