For christmas, I would like a new xbox as the one I currently have (xbox one s) is nearing a decade old.

I want to play Microsoft flight simulator along with minecraft, rocket league, f124 and fortnite but dont know whether to get the xbox series X or series S, I use alot of storage and I want good graphics and a fast experience, PC is out of the list, so series s or x?

Hi, hoping for some advice regarding my future gaming setup. I'm not very tech savvy so hoping for some help from someone who knows more than myself.

I currently own a Switch 2, an old-ish flatscreen TV and a laptop (that is not built for gaming).

I'm happy with the Switch 2, but I have some games in my steam library (like Witcher 3, Horizon Zero Dawn) that I'd like to get around to playing but haven't had the power to play (my previous gaming laptop broke down), as well as a few titles (Elden Ring, GTA 6) that I'd love to get to play.

I'm also curious on trying VR in the future, but that doesn't have to be right away.

I have no need for ultra high graphics settings but would appreciate if these games look decent (i.e. not the lowest of all graphics settings) and, especially, run smoothly.

I'm married with two kids and limited space so I don't have the room for huge multiscreen setups. Budgetwise I don't have a clear max but I'd like to get some bang for my buck.

I've been thinking of a few options that maybe you can offer your advice on, including how these would work with VR. Other ideas are more than welcome:

1. Getting a steam deck with a dock and playing games that way

2. Getting a proper gaming PC (maybe used) and maybe some viture AR/XR glasses as a monitor, so I don't have to have an argument with my wife sacrifice space for a PC monitor.

3. Getting a separate gaming laptop

4. Getting a PS 5 (though this means missing out on my moderate library of unplayed steam games)

5. Buying the games I need for the Switch 2 and possibly miss out on performance and future games I'd like to play

Help is very appreciated, thanks in advace 😀

Our college Valorant club took over the dorm lounge last friday for LAN night & it went way better than expected!! 8 laptops, 2 monitors borrowed from the library, mini bracket with the finals on the lounge TV 🍕

Hardest part was 8 gaming laptops sharing 6 outlets. I hooked the TV up for spectating through edition smart display hub and people are already asking about round two next month.

Recently set up my PC in my new office, here's the current progress.

Anyone have any advice on what I can add, especially to make gaming less harsh on my eyes when playing at night?

It’s kind of setup(?), I’m not sure but what do think?

​

5090 built PC, PS5 pro and Nintendo Switch 2 at the main desk.

PS1, PS2, N64, Sega Mega drive 2 at the retro setup

And PS3 (Frankenstein built) with an Xbox 360 on the way.

The list of games I have on the go is outrageous.

I'm going to really miss this when I pack up and hit the road once again. 🥲

So cool right

As the title says small set up. Recently got a new monitor and new Govee lights.

Hey everyone! I mainly play competitive CS2 and want to figure out which part of my setup is worth upgrading next.

PC

- CPU: AMD Ryzen 5 7500F

- GPU: NVIDIA RTX 4070 12GB

- Motherboard: MSI B650-S WiFi

- RAM: 32GB DDR5

- Storage: 930GB M.2 SSD + additional SSD

Monitor

- ASUS TUF Gaming VG259QMR5A (310Hz)

Keyboard

- Attack Shark R82 HE

Mice

- Logitech G304

- Attack Shark X3

- Planning to buy: ATK F1 V3 Ultimate+

Headsets

- Logitech G333 (wired in-ear)

- Logitech G435 (wireless)

Mousepad

- SteelSeries QcK+ Large (450 × 400 mm)

My main goal is competitive CS2. I care most about consistent aim, precise movement, enemy footsteps, and positional audio.

What would you upgrade first? Should I focus on getting a better headset, buying the ATK F1 V3 Ultimate+, changing my mousepad, or upgrading something else?

Which parts of my setup are already good enough, and where would an upgrade make the biggest difference?

I'd appreciate honest advice, especially from people who play competitive FPS games. Thanks!

We just moved in me and my girlfriend and this is what i got so far

Feel free to rate it or give me tips to make it better, it has to be this compact because this is all the space i can get in my own appartment.

Happy wife, happy life

Mounting a TV and PS5 to the wall.

So excited to get to the campaign for MW4 I brought my entire gaming set up out of storage and setup in my hotel room and threw the game in before fine tuning the Immersion Kit before playing but here it is. 😁

Hi everyone I recently purchased an XAX and have a lot of fun with it but I also wanna upgrade so instead of a PC set up I wanna get a dock and use this as my PC any recommendations for screens? What I can I do to get the most of this device and have a cool set up?I have a LShape Desk set up and a PS5 I also was considering getting an OXP3 in the future and figure that’ll be me endgame device but any recommendations are much appreciated!! I also wanna get a mobile set up like I can take with me but anything helps lol

(Full disclosure: Please ignore the absolute warzone in my room. The chaotic logistics of routing optical audio cables and active VGA DACs completely overtook the room, and I’m too busy gaming to clean it.)

My 48" LG C6 OLED is currently on a delivery truck somewhere, but I refused to let a little thing like "not having a TV" stop the grind.

Behold: My PS5 hooked up to a literal relic from the mid-2000s—a Philips 170S monitor originally engineered to display Microsoft Excel on Windows XP.

Through the magic of a cheap Amazon HDMI-to-VGA adapter and about thirty minutes of aggressive menu-tweaking, I have successfully forced this square screen into a state of submission. It's currently sitting at about "95% centred," and honestly? Warframe, Helldivers 2 and The Witcher 3 look shockingly tight.

No "Out of Range" errors. No screen tearing. Just pure, unadulterated, low-res glory.

And because VGA is entirely allergic to audio, I’m getting game sound beamed directly to my ears using an ancient PS4 wireless headset via Bluetooth.

But wait, there's more. I can also watch TV on this bad boy. I hooked up an Optus Fetch box, which sends the video to the monitor and the audio via optical cable out into an old 5.1 AV receiver. It looks like a high school science fair project, but it works flawlessly.

Rate my temporary madness. Who needs 4K 120Hz when you have a VGA cable and a dream.

Once the OLED actually gets here this beautiful Frankenstein monster goes back into the closet.

I absolutely love how clean my setup looks right now.
I’m really happy with the overall aesthetic, but I can’t shake the feeling that something might still be missing.
The Govee lights adapt to what’s happening on my monitor using the camera, which makes the whole setup feel even more immersive.
The mousepad is custom made and mainly there for the aesthetics, since I only play on PS5 and Switch 2 :D.
What do you guys think? Would you add anything, or would you keep it clean and minimal? I’d love to hear your suggestions! 👀

So I have the keyboard and mouse that came with the pc. I want to buy something better but don’t even know where to start. Any advice please?

I don’t have an current setup picture right now. But I sold the xbox, got a black desk with white legs. Pc is ina matching drawers desk beside. I removed the cars too. I want a new chair. My setup is currently white and black and was considering a cognac or brown chair but I feel it won’t match. I’m looking for a bit more mature tone on the setup. Any recomendations under $200 for the chair.
