Been saving up - should I get a PS5 (note at regular price - not from scalper)

Lounge

I used to be into gaming on the pc but I now can’t justify the price of high end hardware.

Ps5 looks good to me. ps exclusives are way better imo. The console I am looking at comes from a reputable Uk electrical appliance store.

I have enough money to buy the console but this is likely the last big purchase for a long while so I want to insure its perfect.

Anyone got any opinions on this?

Cheers

I’m out of the loop on what these things run. What are we talking price wise?

Ok. I was going to say you have other expenses coming up too. But you do deserve a certain budget for entertainment.

Now isn’t the right time for a big purchase I think with food and energy prices rocketing

That’s a good point.

I got a second hand oculus quest 2 for £215 off ebay argos store a few months back. The person who owned it before me was a pensioner, She didn’t reset it and I had access to her netflix, lol.

I reset it anyway, but she obviously didn’t use it very much.

I watch boxsets and movies through it for an authentic cinema experience. It is ever so good. I haven’t played any games as yet due to avolition, but maybe one day.

A PS5 is expensive, so you should make sure that you’re still into gaming.

I used to be into photography and so bought an SLR a couple of years ago and it just gathered dust. I never really used it.

I used to like games too. So i bought a ps4 a long while back. And it sat and collected dust. I just didnt have the motivation to play anything.

Maybe play a few computer games first and see if you like games still?

Thanks folks. I really like the idea of getting back to gaming but if I am honest with myself I doubt it will happen. My concentration is so bad I can only watch ten minutes of a movie in one sitting.

The thought of getting a top notch gaming machine is very cool but I think the thought is more appealing than the reality in my case.

Thanks for the feedback folks. J

Maybe stick to mobile gaming as its free (Cellphone). I play Angry Birds, Candy Crush, NBA, etc on my cellphone. But I also play CoD on my PC.
