Planning on getting a PS5 or Series X in March...also Pitch Black UHD/4k. Questions!

[arkofr]

So I've finally decided since my internet isn't up to par for 4k streaming to just go the physical route as long as it lasts, therefor my thinking is kill two birds with one stone by getting one of the newer consoles, for gaming and 4k/uhd playback for films.

First question -- Is the PS5 and/or Series X good players? Is one better then the other (not a console war thread, just asking as a 4k player, I like both Microsoft and Sony so its not a deal breaker).

Second Question -- Pitch Black (2000) just released on 4k, I think in the fall, love the film, the BD transfer was noticeable but not what I expected...how is the 4k/UHD version in comparison? Thanks!
