Then in June, made the jump to buy an Xbox SERIES S. I think my Ps4 is jealous or something. . . . So there are some games I had purchased on Playstation that I think, 'eh, why not?' And ALSO purchase on Xbox... as far as double dipping, I have bought Cod Black-ops... (not the cross gen bundle :rage:) and House Flipper. Worth it...
