Mich, Just my opinion, but if PS-5 is what you’re after, you really don’t need the built-in drive unless you either have older PS games that you’d like to import or if you want to play movies like you mentioned.
I’ll revisit the Blu-ray player to see if everything is accessible on it. I tried it when I got the console but at the time I was not completely familiar with navigating it with the controller so I will need to look at it again. I will let you know what I find. Regarding X-Box, you can set it up independently from what I remember. If I remember correctly, the keystroke to turn on Narrator works right out of the box so it’s really no biggie. >From what I can remember, I actually think I had an easier time setting up the >X-Box than I did with the PS-5 but that’s just me. :) Your milage may vary. Anyway, have a great evening and best of luck with what you decide. Will write when I have more info. Cheers!
