Whisper it quietly, but launching two new games
consoles as the country toys with going back
into lockdown could be considered – in a twisted
sense – perfect timing.
After years of rumours, and our Hot Stuff Editor’s
insufferable reminders that he’d bagsied review
samples, we’re getting four at once – and each offering something
different depending on your budget, broadband speed and
penchant for physical media. So which one to buy? A full-fat
PlayStation 5 or Xbox Series X? A Digital Edition PlayStation relying
solely on streaming and downloads, or the compromise of curtailed
power with the compact and affordable Xbox Series S? Head to
p34, where our expert guide will help you decide.
Don’t despair if you’re not a gamer, because this issue is about
much more than the next-gen battle. It’s a tech giant triple threat
as we size up the latest devices from Apple, Google and Amazon.
We also test the best connected exercise bikes, beard trimmers
and supercars (not together), and spend some quality time with
new phones from Sony, OnePlus, Samsung and LG.
Rounding things off on p98 is a nostalgic look back at the birth
of the CD – buy the right console and your Chris Rea Christmas
album might still work.
