Games in Xbox are overpriced but PC games are free.

Not sure what philosophy brought you to this idea, but it's incorrect.

 

What you get is up to you. There's xbox gamepass on pc now that brings most xbox only games to pc.

Not sure what to say then. Buy a used pc and add in a used gpu.

It really only depends on what you want- which seems to be a pc.

They're not overpriced at all. They're more expensive, yes, but that's more of a personal problem for you.

Umm no they are not. Unless youu speak of the few low quality game then your old out of date laptop can play those.

So I am thinking pc or console ?

Why are you asking this question after everything you else you posted about wanting to build another pc?

PC are more expensive than consoles yes, overpriced? No. These are two completely different systems designed for different uses. Consoles designed for gaming, PC are not designed for gaming, they can be and are gamed on but designed for other functions primarily.

Get new-old stock RX 570 mining, old dell with 3rd gen xeon and dirty cheap ECC RAM, some good 2nd hand PSU, 32GB of ECC RAM (why not... they are basically worthless so it will cost you as much as 2 pizzas...), 500GB SSD and there you have sub-300€ PC comparable to Xbox One X :P

yyyy... wut?? Nope....
1. Boxed releases cost less than of the steam price after few months whereas console games don't lose value all that much
2. Digital releases are still cheaper on PC - perhaps not on the release date but later on they do reduce prices and there are many more sales
3. Multiplayer is free 
PC games are much cheaper :P - I'm not talking BS - I have all the platforms (PC, PS, Xbox, Nin'da) - 
PC is the cheapest, then xbox, then PS and nintendo are by far the most expensive

Xbox games are cheaper than PS because (at least in Europe, in the US there are other methods I guess) you can go on price checker website, look for the cheapest price in Europe - usually Norway, Switzerland or UK - and buy your game there as there are no restrictions within European Xbox stores.

have to disagree there.

 

disks are often much cheaper a year or so later. bo4 costing a tenner for xbox right now, pc? full price.

 

BUT - you willing to break a few terms and conditions and games cost pennies or even free.

 

moreover, you cant forget the monthly gold subscription.

PC discs are still cheaper though :P Go to MediaMarkt or something - Console games are like 60€, PC releases are like 30€

Yeah was just assuming they meant new games, used games and such are a better deal- no arguments there.

Can find some decent sales on pc games tho

 

And lol @The Torrent agreed. Activision is dog shit towards pc, that seems to be an anomaly though
