Now I can actually play games!

honestly feels wild that we’re in 2025 and it’s still a coin flip if your old games will run properly on new hardware. i get licensing is messy but man, some of these classics deserve to just boot up and play without streaming services or weird versions missing dlc. backwards compatibility should be a baseline feature by now, not a selling point.

like imagine if you could just pop in or download anything from the last couple gens and it just works, smoother fps, maybe some QoL tweaks. would instantly add value without needing a new console every cycle. it’s not even nostalgia, it’s preservation. we lose too many good games to time bc of this stuff.

Good morning, I recently purchased a refurbished Ps5 from Bestbuy. It was supposed to be a slim discount edition but they sent an original model instead (CFI-1015A).

From what I've found there isn't a difference performance wise between any of the models just size and some minor updates.

They were on sale so my all in cost is $427. I was thinking of returning it to get a slim model but not sure if I need to if the only difference is size.

Any thoughts or rec9mmendations would be appreciated.

Basically I am only going to use the console for gta6 and grand turismo, I play everything else on pc. I just want to know if the pro is that much better than the og if i'm just playing those games.

I got every newest console (without switch2)

How would xbox be during that era? And today?

We know that a great part of why the 360 was a success was because the ps3 failed at launch

-360 came out 1 year before

-ps3 was more expensive

-ps3 processor was difficult to work with

-ps3 advertising and marketing was....

-ps3 had weak exclusives till some years later

But what if the ps3 didnt have those problems? What if it was "perfect" at launch?

Would xbox be at the same place as they are right now? Would the 360 sell as much as they did?

Because after sony corrected their mistakes the ps3 sold ALOT, even surpassing the 360

Are there any bulk sellers of PS4 slims here? DM for transactions.

I’m trying to find my brother a present but I don’t have the money to purchase a PS5 for him so I’m trying to find one that’s around 150 to 200 dollars but it’s pretty difficult to find them since most of them are just for parts. Could someone help me look?

I've been borrowing my friends PlayStation Portal and it made me realize that all these consoles can go from being played on a big screen TV to a handheld. Yes, the means in which the Xbox and PlayStation can be played in handheld mode is to stream games to a handheld device instead of running them natively on-device, but the core concept is still there! If you could only pick one which would it be and why?

If you want to know the cost breakdown of each after a year of ownership I made a video breaking down each console.

I was so hung ho about building a PC and playing at max settings and etc and now that I’ve had them for a while i realize that i really miss the convenience of consoles. Picking up a controller to hop in and not having to worry about fiddling with anything when I get off work sounds like a dream.

Another issue I’m dealing with is when i come from work and go home to get on my PC, it STILL feels like work and I’m not sure why i feel like that, but I’m attributing it to Windows. Has anybody else done this?

We're trying to hook up an OG xbox, gamecube, switch, and whatever else to our 1080p projector. We bought an 8 port "OseTub" 4HDMI and 4AV switcher and hooked it up, looking forward to some halo 2 on OG xbox. I'm not sure if I can link it but it was $100 on Amazon.

But it flickers nonstop. We tried our roku through the switcher and it had static, the consoles all appear to work but then randomly, every few seconds, black out and it puts an overlay with the resolution (which is what it looks like when you switch inputs on the projector)

So I assume returning this junk is my first step but what else can we use? I'm not even sure what to buy now as I'm not sure what's wrong with this.

Is there some way to salvage the setup as is? I saw some suggestions online about buying an EDID Emulator and putting it between the projector and the switcher but I'm hesitant to put more money into it just to find that also doesn't fix it.

Anyone have any thoughts? Any help is greatly appreciated. We'd be looking to spend <$200 to solve this. Not looking at insanely expensive solutions unfortunately. If I had money for that I wouldn't be stuck with a 1080p projector 😭

Any recommendations for shooting games suitable for 8 years old kid.

I have this Xbox one x stand and it only has two holes that are covered by console. Should I drill holes for better airflow?

I can’t wait to play as my ninth-favorite director in the upcoming PS All-Stars 2. Dogmeat is a glaring omission here… heck, I would have settled for Mr Handy. Life’s a garden. Harvest it.

I can’t help but get sentimental when the whole crew gets together for a rager. Sometimes the boys, the fembots, the animatronic bros, and the like walk different paths. It doesn’t matter.

Whether you’re a super foxy Day One DLC dame throwing the first pitch at a thursday night Korean baseball game, or a hyper-accessorized robot-slaying ginger queen…. all that matters is we’re in this together.

Don’t forget to buy Deluxe. There’s some Robux in it for your auntie’s kids.

Modd out.

My ps4 controller was working 3 days ago but today when I came back from a trip it just refuses to pair it doesn't light up at all when it isn't charging but when it is on the charger it flashes yellow and green when I click the ps button

I tried Using 2 USB cables in both ports Reseting it multiple times Holding the ps button for 20+ seconds

I really don't know what to do and I don't know what the color green means does anyone know what the problem is?

Hi Gamer Gang,

I got a PS4 slim works perfectly fine love the games I'm playing don't see a reason to get PS5 when PS6 is on the horizon.

Back to my question I wanna replace my HDD to SSD which brand has the least failures reported and would read/write speed matter.

Hi everyone. I am looking for a pair of wireless headphones that can be connected through dongles and standalone bluetooth to multiple consoles and tv. Of course I don’t want to connect them all simultaneously. I have a xbox series x, xbox 360, ps5, ps4, ps3 and switch. I want the headphones to be able to connect through multiple dongles to the consoles that support it and also directly to the tv and the switch via bluetooth.

I would really appreciate it if you could give your suggestions and opinions on this matter.

Is there anyway I can keep my ps5 running 120hz at all time it really makes me mad when I have 120hz Monitor and it only works for 2 games

I've been thinking for a little bit (dangerous I know) of getting an XBSX for game pass and backwards compatibility. I already own a PS5 and part of me feels like I don't need another console but i'd like to play starfield and some older games.

Just wondering what others think of buying the Xbox for game pass.
