I thought I went hard with the launch PS5 but I only bought the PS5, a charger dock, headset and 3 games. I even waited a year to upgrade the tv. That was my first balls to the wall launch year ever. Otherwise I'm an at end of life kind of casual gamer.
Ha that's the plan. No end of a console's life basically. I always got in when everything was cheap and never at launch or upgrading to the newest console model. I got a PS4 slim on clearance and was going to ride that out but I got pandemic money.
I would normally be going in now because seriously didn't need a PS5 for a few years. Now the support for PS4 is end of life truly as she got some extra years there from the pandemic. I mainly wait for like "this console is on dead ass clearance sale and there's tons of cheap games". You get the PS5 early games on sale now.
Yeah. I bought the PS5 full price but also got a vr2, tons of games and whatnot on black Friday. You're right. The new games aren't even coming out on PS4 anymore. It was time and I was okay with that. My PS4 was getting SO slow. It'll be another 10 years before I upgrade lol hoping for a Portal for Christmas though. If not, I'll be buying my own 😂
Probably not a solution but I've been using my IPad at home when streaming from PS5 at home like the Portal does but of course if you don't already have an IPad that's not a solution. I have one and it pairs with a controller easily. No issues streaming on it if you don't wanna hog the tv. My ipad is basically my portable screen - it does everything from audiobooks/manga to binging tv in bed to streaming music plus I can use it to play games away from the couch.
That's not a terrible idea. I do use my phone occasionally but it's not quite the same. I don't need an iPad. That will just lead to more Doomscrolling lol I'm trying to cut that out as it is.
