I wouldn't go for a XSS unless you want to play the game for months.Time to buy a used PS5 (or Xbox Series S) before the price hikes up on EBay.
Preordering games nowadays is akin to slapping yourself in the face and giving away your money to strangers.
My plan was to get to play GTA VI at launch as cheap as possible, since I'm saving up for a gaming PC purchase next year. A used XSS I can get for 120-140€, while a used PS5 is still going for 230-250€. If I like GTA VI, I will replay it on PC anyway, if not, at least I'm not disappointed to have spent too much money on a console.I wouldn't go for a XSS unless you want to play the game for months.
The problem with the XSS is that it doesn't have a disc drive. So once you buy a game, that money is basically gone. With a used PS5 or XSX, you can probably still resell the game for around 80% of the original price and you'll also be able to sell a PS5 or XSX more easily than an XSS.My plan was to get to play GTA VI at launch as cheap as possible, since I'm saving up for a gaming PC purchase next year.

Sony, Microsoft and Rockstar hate this trick!May as well buy physical at launch, beat it and then resell it to somebody to recoup part of cost.
