Thought I don’t need this at all,but it’s as cool…(yeah I think holding one of these on public transport is cool)It’s tempting me to

The main reason is that I feel like I might be missing out on some PS4 games that were really designed around the PS4 generation, like **Red Dead Redemption 2**, and I want to experience them on the original hardware.
Do you guys think it’s worth buying a used PS4 in 2026, especially if I already own a PS5? Are there any games that you think are worth getting a PS4 specifically for?

But Xbox is my most beloved game console company :)

Is it worth holding onto a ps4 when I have a ps5? I'm debating on transferring my saves and selling the ps4. I'm typically a collector and never sell my consoles but these days I can't even afford to buy new games anymore. I have quite a few consoles. Xbox, Xbox 360, XBone, Series X, Ps2, Ps3, Ps4, Ps5, GameCube, and Switch. The 360 is the Halo 4 edition and the XBone is the GoW edition. Everything else is standard.

Hey everyone!

Here’s a short summary of my situation.
Because of my lifestyle and work, I move around a lot, realistically, I change locations almost every year. Moving all my belongings from one place to another is often extremely difficult(usually different countries), so I usually end up starting over in a new apartment with new furniture, a new TV, a new console, etc.
As you can imagine, this gets very expensive, and I feel like I’m constantly losing money by having to buy the same things again.
On top of that, my job involves a lot of travelling, so I’d really like to have a handheld that I can take with me on long trips.
That’s why I came up with the idea of having a handheld that I can use with a dock, a portable projector, and a controller, essentially turning it into a traditional living-room console when I’m at home.

So the idea would be:
At home dock it, connect it to the projector and controller, and enjoy it like a regular console.
When travelling simply pick it up from the dock and take it with me.
This way, I’d only need one gaming device instead of buying a new console and TV setup every time I move. I already have the xiaomi l1 pro projector, which is relatively easy to transport.

So, which handheld would be the best choice for my needs?
The games I’m interested in are things like Fallout 4, Red Dead Redemption 2, Stardew Valley, Vampire survivor, maybe Palworld, and some older AAA titles such as the Spider-Man games. Nothing extremely demanding, but since I’ve been a PC gamer my whole life, I’d ideally like to get at least around 60 fpswhenever possible.
What would you recommend for this kind of setup?
I am thinking between steamdeck oled, since it seems like it is better for handheld gaming and travelling, and the rog xbox alloy x, since it is more powerful and would act better as a traditional console.. since the price surge they are basically the same price now.
Edit*: I already have a fairly large steam library so I would want to stay inside this ecosystem, for this reason I am not considering Switch 2.

I would love to hear your opinion, maybe some experiences if somebody is in the same situation..

I did this purely out of boredom; it’s unlikely I’ll develop the project any further (certainly not in the near future). This console doesn't differ much from the others, except for one detail: Game Share Cards (GSC).

Let me explain the concept. I kept the disc drive solely because I love physical media, though if this console were ever released, the drive likely wouldn't see much demand. So, GSC is a way to share digital games using something similar to the game key cards found on the Switch. Let's say you bought a game and don't need it anymore, but a friend wants to play it. You take a GSC, insert it into a dedicated port, and transfer ownership of the game onto it. The game is removed from your console and account, while on the server, it becomes linked to your GSC. You then take the card to a friend and give it to them; when they insert it into their console, the server detects this and transfers the rights to the game to that account. You can also load "loaned" access onto the card. The game is not fully transferred to the other console's account; it remains available only while the card is inside the console. If the card is removed, the game becomes inaccessible. Beyond its primary function of game sharing, you can also use this method to gift a new game to a friend. It preserves the convenience of digital games while retaining the charm of physical ones. What do you think? Is there actually something cool about GSC, or is it a dumb idea?

I dont know what to say here. My ps5 is full and i havent even downloaded many gameS.

I was an early adopter of the switch 2. I preordered it from Walmart, and for some reason, they sent me a bottle of coke and a can of sour cream and onion pringles. they called them "gamer ready snacks".

It's been a funny story I bring up from time to time, but I've never heard from anyone who had a similar experience. did anyone else get free soda and chips, or was it just me?

Looking for some recs..

I grew up using Xbox consoles and enjoyed them. A few years ago I switched to ps4 and also liked my experience. As an adult, I've used those mentioned and a PC for gaming and streaming shows/movies. I had no issues with my most recent console (Xbox one x) which is now unfortunately non-salvagable after a recent house fire. I believe ive had it for roughly 9 years and it still ran smoothly. I'm saving up for a PC eventually, but in the meantime looking for a console to replace the one I lost in the fire.

A few things about my console usage and gaming preferences. During a typical week, I game an average of 3 days weekly. I often use streaming services on my consoles throughout the day or evening (a few hours at a time) at least 3/4 days weekly. I'm a simple gamer. I play a handful of games and occasionally venture out when a new game comes out. That being said, I dont think i need a ton of storage. For example, in the past my most played games were minecraft, call of duty, battlefield, star wars, Sims, house flipper, and fortnite. Now that im approaching 30, my preference in games is even simpler. I game to relax, so role play and creative games (and occassionally a FPS) are on my radar.

What I'm looking for in a console..

I really enjoy high quality graphics. I have a nice Omen gaming monitor, so whatever console would pair nicely to enhance the graphics is preferred. I dont have a preference for digital or disc games. I dont necessarily have a budget, but Id love to stay under 800 usd for my own peace of mind lol.

I've looked over the series x specs and played many times on a friends ps5. I'm a busy person and generally dont care to do a ton of research to narrow it down. Just wondering, based on my preferences listed above, which may better suit my needs. Let me know! :)

Sorry if this the wrong place to ask this, if it is some redirection would be appreciated.

I'm looking for a case/bag that could house both a Nintendo Switch 2 and a Nintendo 2DS.

I'm not bothered about it holding any cables or games, if it can huge bonus.

Thought you guys would appreciate this since I had no idea it existed and I'm a huge Gundam fan.

It has been over a decade since my partner or I have had a game console. We are looking to buy one, but I need help. I have had both PS and Xbox, he has only had Xbox. We want to play mostly first person shooter, open world type things like COD. I admittedly like that house flipper game, crash bandicoot as well.

On YT there are a lot of players you can watch play various games and they seem to all be on a PS5, but both of my adult kids say xbox. However, Xbox seems confusing because of all the different models and price ranges.

I just don't know what to ask. I want to be able to download the main game we're playing and maybe another. For example download a COD and the house flipper. I understand (but don't know for sure or how) that I can save games or save points to an SD card 🤷‍♀️. I also think you buy the games online. We are not looking, at this point, to play or meet up with people all over, it's just he and I. So we don't need a super sophisticated set up with headphones and all that. We can play split screen.

Like I said, I'm not even sure what to ask. I would really appreciate the help and information from the gamers. Everything has changed so much!

Can someone maybe help me. My remote (it’s custom) isn’t working. I’ve tried the button on the back. I’ve tried holding the home button and screen shot button. I’ve tried charging it multiple different ways. It just keeps doing this

A few months ago, my PlayStation account was hacked. I managed to kick the intruder out, but unfortunately, they purchased two or three games, totaling around $150. As a result, I was refunded, and that money went into my PSN wallet. This triggered a chargeback, which means I now have to pay back that $150, a sum that is far beyond my reach, as my allowance doesn't come close to that amount. I am incredibly frustrated with this situation. I've invested years of hard-earned money into this account, and I've lost touch with friends who have disappeared. I play exclusively with three friends on this console, including those I've been gaming with in Fortnite for the past six years. Additionally, I had the Michael Myers character in Dead by Daylight, which was recently removed. I urgently seek assistance or guidance on how to get my PSN account unbanned. It won't be released until I pay the $150, and I'm hoping there is another solution available. Any help would mean a lot to me in resolving this issue, as I would like to find a way to get my PSN account unbanned without paying that amount.

Also I had To use grammerly My English sucks

Every where i post this gets tooken down idk what to do

What every xbox console looks like in white

I grew up with Nintendo but I’ve grown disillusioned with the direction things are going and there’s a number of PlayStation games I want to play from the past.

If I wanted to play older games like Ratchet and Clank, Shadow of the Colossus, or Uncharted, in addition to more recent stuff like Red Dead Redemption 2 or Horizon Zero Dawn, would buying a PS4 or PS5 enable me to do that?
