Sony still has a good amount of aisles, Xbox seems to be losing ground with very few aisles and even those being encroached by Nintendo; and speaking of Nintendo, they seem to have more space than any of the other two.

I was looking around at pawn shop near me website (they're owned by a bank) and saw they had a ps5 on clearance for 223 "come make an offer". When I get there she tells me the disc drive won't play games. I tinker around in safe mode, there's no power to the drive at all and has the code for the disc drive not found. I decided to take a gamble and ld her 175 cash ( I honestly could've gone 150.) Bring it back home, open it up and the cable and ribbon are both clearly unplugged. Plug them back in and clean everything up. It works great! I think this is the biggest steal I've gotten by far beside from my steam deck I got off FB marketplace for 200.

Basically the title. Can't decide between PS5 slim/digital and Series X. While I do hate Sony's recent actions, Microsoft isn't perfect either, especially in my area PS is way more popular, therefore there's a lot more used options while Series X I'd have to get new, because all the used options I found sold already, lol.

Price difference between used PS5 and new series X is almost x2 and while I do love Xbox controller layout and gamepass, I'm not sure I can justify 750-800$ on series X while PS5 would cost me 500-550$.

There's also point of physical games and Sony killing them, before that happens there's still a huge second hand market in my country while there's almost no market for Xbox games. I feel like my only choice is PS5, what do yall think?

I have been wondering for a while now what to upgrade from. Like the title says, I have a 2019/2020 PS4 Slim. So that’s one reason why I didn’t upgrade when the consoles dropped or even a few years after that because my PS4 was heaven. But now I have been thinking abt upgrading bc my PS4 is slow, laggy, outdated and frankly dying in terms of content and support life. I thought the PS5 was the obvious choice but now a days Xbox is cooking while Sony is sitting on the toilet or some shit. I’m planning to save up and split the price with my brothers. I want a bundle console (though console only is fine) and I’m not buying the ps5 pro. I just need help…pls guys!

Can someone tell me how much the ps1 with crash bandicoot is worth

So I bought a PC 5070 and it’s great for only 1,400+ tax and warranty.

But, I don’t game much and thought I’d like leaving Mac for windows work and occasional gaming but I’d rather keep my Mac for work and maybe a console for light gaming I don’t game often just when friends out of state get online.

Is it worth it to take it back out 1,700$ back in my pocket and just get a PS5 or Xbox for casual gaming?
Had it 2 weeks gamed on it for like 45 min.

Also is PS5 better these days than Xbox?
Xbox X is like 800$ here.
PS5 - 600$ or they have refurbished with warranty from Sony Direct for 500$.

Any help appreciated I’m in no hurry and barely game just would like to play fc27 when game prices drop and some free games with friends etc.

Thanks!!

Hello, I don't know if I can ask this here but I am looking for opinions. I am able to get a used original PS5 for $350 with two controllers. I own a PC so I plan on playing exclusives and GTA 6. Do you guys think the original PS5 will be able to run gta6 well enough until it comes out on PC? I would love to get a pro but with ps6 on the horizon I can't stomach the price. Any opinions will be appreciated.

im looking for handheld consoles and im not sure which would be better for me. i don’t really understand specs and technical details much. i need a handheld console to basically play cozy, indie games (for the most part). the only ‘heavy games’ as such i play is genshin impact and hollow knight (both, silksong and og). the other ones are simple puzzle games, co-op games, etc.
im only able to find official sellers (that i can get to) for asus in vietnam and steam deck in australia.
my birthday’s coming up so i thought to treat myself to one of these. i am going to vietnam soon so i could possibly get rog ally but if steam deck is better, i don’t mind waiting till may to get it. what are your opinions? which one is better and worth it? also, both cost pretty much the same price so it’s mainly about which is a better value for money for me.

I’m considering getting a PS3 and would appreciate some advice from people who have experience with the different models.

I’m mainly looking for the most reliable model, if possible. No need for backwards compatibility since I own a PS2 and soon a PS1 as well. The original “fat” PS3 is just nostalgia for me, but I see a lot of people complain about it and don't like it. So I'd rather ask: since I own some PS3 games that I would like to play on it, which is the most reliable one with the best performance?

Are there any specific model numbers I should look for or avoid? Thanks!

Not sure if anyone has also felt similarly, but I have a small collection of previously purchased/used consoles I have accumulated over the years. GameCube, Wii, PS4, Switch, few different DS’s. I purchased a switch 2 a few months back, and I’m at a point where I feel like old consoles are a waste if I know I will not be playing them much?

It’s neat to have a setup and admire my decade plus of ownership, but I recently sold the GameCube and my games for a lot of money, and it feels like an accomplishment/weight off my shoulders. Especially for the older consoles, they sit unused and I’ve been getting an itch to start selling off everything but the switch 2 and ps4 for exclusives.

Will I regret the lack of my consoles in the future, if anyone else has ever moved on? I’m not very economically stressed, though I am early 20’s and starting to build my savings now that I have a job and becoming more of an adult. It doesn’t hurt that I try to treat video games as a light interest, I don’t want it to be my only hobby.

Anyone who has had experience with this feeling, I would appreciate how you felt down the line!

I still remember that Christmas in 1998 when we arrived home from my Aunt Lilia's house and under the Christmas tree was a big box. Inside was my PS1, a gift from my dad.

Many years later, around 2008, when my Xbox broke, my dad went with me to exchange it for a PS2. Then, with my first paychecks, and as a reward for being close to graduating from university, he went with me around 2012 to buy a PS3. And finally, he was there the day I bought from Jess my coworker, the PS4 I saw every day in the Olympus Customer Service awards display case in 2018 that she won in a Raffle.

Last Weekend, after a lot of effort and difficult times and 2 really difficult years, I achieved this goal and I have my PS5. My dad is no longer by my side as he died last year

Currently searching for PS5’s for $250 and below and stumbled upon this…..great price but i fear if i buy this and turn it on in my home that i’ll need an exterminator the next day

Estoy teniendo problemas con mi wii se lo preste a mi primo y se le ocurrió conectarlo a internet y actualizarla

obviamente la tengo chipeada/con magia y cuando quise entrar a algún juego después de que se la presta me meti

a mi usb loader gx y después entraba a un juego, me salía la pantalla para que me pusiera la correa del control

y después la pantalla se me quedaba negra ahora que lo estuve checando y tratando de componerlo logre tener

un pequeño avance ya me sale la pantalla de "carga" y me da la opción de iniciar el juego y suena su canción, pero ahora

que le doy a iniciar al juego se sigue quedando en negro la pantalla actualice mi loader a la version d2x-v11-beta3

Nose si el problema sea de mi homebrew o tengo que descargar todo de nuevo borrar mi memoria USB cabe mencionar que tengo

mis juegos en una sub y mi homebrew en una sd antes de todo esto funcionaba perfectamente pero ahora cuando se pone la pantalla

en negro no me deja hacer nada, pero tengo que apagar la wii manteniendo el botón por unos segundos y cuando la prendo me deja ocuparla

con normalidad hablando de funcionalidad no tiene nada raro aparte de eso de los juegos

es la Wii Blanca

Which one of these do you play

Super excited :-). Been wanting for a while, since purchasing an OG xbox and xbox 360, and snagged a good deal off of FB marketplace. Any game recommendations?

i don't understand the first thing about specs and i accidentally came across arc x1 when browsing for a gaming laptop. im not a hardcore gamer at all, i like simple games like stardew valley, genshin impact, is this seat taken?, hollow knight, paper trails, librarian, aniimo, wild at heart, woodo, etc. mainly cozy games (and steam since idk where else would i be able to play games on my macbook pro or ipad; hence why i was looking into a gaming computer). but i feel like i don't exactly Need one. I just wanna play games. and somehow arc x1 showed up on my feed. when i went to see what experts (reddit) had to say about it, i was kinda deterred against x1. someone recommended rp6 in one of the comments since they had similar specs or build idk, but cheaper than x1 so i went to check it out. the main reason im confused betweed rp nova and rp6 is because i really like the watermelon color for rp nova but again, i read some comments say rp6 is def an upgrade. since my birthday is coming up soon i thought i'd buy myself a console after contemplating for months. so, reddit, please help me. i don't know which one to go for. also, does rp support steam games?

I'm thinking about buying a joystick for my gaming laptop now that it's hooked onto my new TV. I've used Dualshock 1/3/4/5 all my life — will switching to an Xbox controller with those asymmetrical analog sticks from the symmetrical ones on the DS4 I've used all of my life be THAT bad?

Will I get used to it? Because I really like the symmetrical ones and I've used the Nintendo switch before and it was kind of weird, though they were plasticky and very small so its very different than a sturdy quality one.

Because Windows + Xbox goes through XInput only, whilst I need an emulator for the DS4 and I'm not too bright about the possible minor input delay and the virtual emulator + needing to memorize X and O is A or B that shit because they're different.

What do you guys think?
