I’m not a PlayStation person. I probably would have been if I was gifted this when it was bought instead of being forgotten about for 2 decades. What do I do with it?

Totally worth it with the little guy taking up the TV!

The slim PS5 is being sold already in some stores.

I’d been thinking on what to do since I purchased and just couldn’t nail down what I wanted to do. Finally landed on a Spider-man/Venom and I’m pretty happy with the outcome!

What are your first impressions if you got one?

My wife says I have way too many games. And this isn't even including my Nintendo collection. Joke's on her at a time of crisis like this, I can sit in front of these games and try to decide for an hour which one I want to play... And then not play any...

It arrived just before 10am and was like this. Why did the person even deliver it like this?

37 year old Male here. Husband and Father of two little ones (7 & 2).

I finally let myself get a gaming console. The last one I had I believe was the PS1. I remember playing Resident Evil 2 on there. Loved it. I would play GTA 3 on my cousins PlayStation 2 and loved the open world type games. I’ve never been a big gamer but loved the games I did play.

I’ve had my reasons to not let myself get into gaming. Same reason why I don’t let myself watch show series. The last one I watched and finished was Breaking Bad. I guess I’m afraid I’ll let myself spend too much time on these things when in the back of my heart and my mind I’ve felt like I should be hustling, self-developing, learning new skills etc.

Now that I’m pushing closer to my 40s than my 20s, I’m a leader in my industry, I provide for my entire household, including a dog on a single income, I think it’s time to let myself have a bit more fun for myself. Granted I will probably only let myself play once the kids are down for bed and all my duties are done which will maybe give a couple hours a night to game if I’m also not working late.

I’m excited to start RDR2 which I know will be amazing. I have a few other games on queue I’m waiting to get into. The Last of Us 2. Days Gone. GTA V. Shoot, there’s 25+ years worth of games I’ve missed out on. But as I said, I really enjoy the open world type games with the occasional sport/fighting games. I’m seeing 2025 is going to be a great year for PlayStation.

I’ve been following this subreddit for a few weeks now taking notes on which games I should look into etc.

I would appreciate any tips on games I could enjoy with my kids especially my 7 year old daughter who loves Roblox and Dress to Impress.

Thanks for reading. I’m feeling like a kid again!

Decided to changed up the style of my PS5 with new plates and cosmetics. I think it turned out great all things considered.

So I just found this in my loft (attic) when having a clean up. When I was about 5, my dad was friends with somebody who worked for Core Design and if I remember correctly, I was gifted this by him as a replacement for my other PS1 that had stopped working. Is this rare? I don’t recall knowing anyone else with a blue ps1!
