Hi there guys,
what best option for me as not sure what to do or if it's worth it.

I currently have 
4K Samsung TV With LG Sound bar
PS4 Pro
Xbox One S Deep blue 500GB

this is what I use each console for 

PS4 Pro
Play online with my Friends most days 
Call of Duty Modern Warfare Warzone 
Most of my games are on Playstation 

Xbox One S
4K UHD's 
Forza Horizon 3/4
Forza Motorsport 7 
Cities Skylines (Couldn't get on ps4 when come our)

I am 100% getting a PS5 when I can buy one, 

I would use Xbox Series X/S for 
4K UHD'S (Series X Only)
4K Streaming 
Forza Horizon 4
Forza Motorsport 7
New Forza Coming out
Football Manager 2021

So is it worth me getting one or should I not bother?

    So FM21 is coming to Xbox, thats interesting, I'll see if there any trailers for it.

    Why dont you leave it a while and see if you feel you would like a series X/S or not.

    Would you really miss not playing Forza etc but what you use to play your UHDs on as PS5 doesnt play them if I've understood it right.

    @GTR_King what model is the tv ?
    Gaming, movies look great on it ?

    Yeah they did say FM 2021 Is coming to
    Xbox One
    Xbox Series S/X
    Xbox Game Pass
    Google Stadia 
    Nintendo Switch 
    Steam (PC/Mac)
    Epic Games Store (PC/Mac)

    Yes I would miss playing Forza as bought the ultimate Edition upgrade for Forza Horizon 4 and got all the DLC's For Forza Horizon 3/Interested in the new one (When it comes out). But don't think spending another £449 Is worth it for Just one game maybe the Series S as it's on game pass and like the look of the Console.

    Had my TV a Few years now (Samsung TV Series 6 (40) and it's great for 4K UHD'S Movies (Xbox) & Games (PS4 Pro) Even great for 4K football Sadly I only have BT Sports 4K (With Virgin)) only normal sky sports and Ipswich will never get far Enough in the FA Cup/In to Premier League for me to watch them in 4k :(

    Yess PS5 dose play 4k UHD'S Finally yay :)

    I think based on what you say then a Series S is what your after, its a decent price plus it plays movies too. If it were me Id see if there any issues with the first batch of consoles.

    Im looking for a TV for gaming and movies so thanks for that.

    I am gonna get PS5 First,
    Then maybe series S Later on, Hopefully they make a 1TB Version. 

    Would love Series X But don't really wanna spend another £449 as would rather save that money..

    You can probably get my tv For cheap but had it few years so don't think they sell it anymore

    Update
    I Decided not to go for the series s, felt it wasn't worth it for me...

    I still tempted for Series X as looks good but not decided yet but have tried FM 21 on xbox one S looks good but bit slow for my liking. 

    Still use my PS5 and love it but still think storage is rubbish lol so hope they add extra SSD slow soon

    I’ve got a PS5 and a Series X and had a One before that. Personally I’m glad I went for the Series X. It’s noticeably quicker and graphically an improvement and just feels like a much more slick experience. However I do have a high end TV and AV system. If I had a lesser TV or wasn’t that fussed about the picture I’d have got the S instead.

    Saying this I wouldn’t recommend it unless you’ve really got the money for it. It’s not that much of a jump from the One that it’s worth struggling financially for.

    Ive tried FM21 but I dont find it slow, I am finding it hard going but should get easier when I start playing it more. 

    Im still tempted by a Series X but to be honest the One is doing a great job so why change it (if it ain't broke dont fix it).

    Cities Skylines 
    Football Manager 2021 
    Forza Horizon 4
    Forza Motorsport 7
