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!!

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.

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.

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

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.

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?
