PlayStation 5

I now have a PS5. It's super swell.

Johncarllos, if anyone wants to add.

I'll tell ya, great and very close to PC experience in game. I'm playing God of War Ragnarok at 4k, with HDR, at 80-90fps. Also messing with Returnal and Ghost of Tsushima, thanks to the Playstation Plus subscription thingy, very worth it. Gonna have to play the Last of Us eventually, too, but this just added like 60+ hours of backlog.

So far my only desire for one would be to run PS4 games at autistic speeds.  But I'm also not fond of having to install everything these days like on a PC.  Makes it take forever to get started playing and you constantly have to shuffle managing storage.

I've got gigabit internet now so managing games isn't a huge hassle. I downloaded and installed GoW Ragnarok, Returnal, Ghost of Tsushima, and Bugsnax in about an hour. You can also run any PS4 games off external USB drives, which it's easy enough to get a cheap SATA SSD and throw it in an exclosure. If I run into issues, I can just slap in a 2TB NVMe drive.

And yes Rez, I did get the disc version and fully intend to purchase the disc versions of games, and share them with my friend(s). I'm against the digital only PS4 unless you can get it for under, like, 200.

Funny story, I was Christmas shopping at the local game store and a guy in front of me in line was selling a like-new digital PS5, they were gonna give him $180 and I almost offered him $200 but I was sure my wife got me one already. Kind of regret not grabbing it and giving a good deal to a friend or something.

Having a real giggle with God of War and Bugsnax, but right now Returnal has me hooked. It's got co-op~

Though I'll probably get it on PC when it comes out to play with friends.

Friends don't let friends play on PC.

Friends don't let friends play on PC.

Bold of you to assume any of us have friends.

[TheRedPriest]

You know I'm an optimist.

Last I checked the MBoard has 304 members.

And that relates to friends how?

Aren't we besties?

My only friend is my NES.
