My PS5. Even at the time, I knew my gaming days were behind me but figured I'd still use it for media streaming, Blu-Ray playing, and playing my PS4 disks.
Well, the Playstation Plex app is garbage, I barely watch blu-rays, and turns out I played more than enough of those games a decade ago.
We definitely regretted at first, there were like no games to play. But are using it now
Like I said, I'm just not a gamer anymore and was buying it more as a home media device that me and my partner could play Minecraft on every now and then. Turns out that Sony's support for the media streaming I care about is trash, so my PS5 gets maybe an hour of on time a month
I don't play often, but when I do play, I lose an entire weekend. (I'm almost 50, BTW.)
I really love their VR system; the resolution is amazing.
Ngl if my country would've sold PS5 during the pandemic I would've bought one instead of the X. Having Spiderman and god of war in my current console would've most likely cancelled the plans of buying a laptop... Domino effect.
Fair enough, grass is always greener I suppose. I personally wish I'd have gone with Xbox, which has a functional Plex and Shudder app. ATM, I'm watching most things on my TV by just running an HDMI from my laptop and trying to justify the purchase of a Shield Pro, which would make my PS5 entirely useless
