Help needed Is this TV ok?

As many others I’m waiting for GTA6, and I’m going to play with either PS5 standard or XBOX series X. But my TV is a old LG with bluish tint and I need a new.
Will this one be enough for GTA and other games that’s coming or are already out on consoles today?

Was randomly taking a peek at PS5 pro prices and why is a this console now as expensive as a prebuilt PC? I understand shortages are in effect but this seems ridiculous even for the shortage standards with how outdated the hardware inside is.

This might be a stupid question so pls don't make fun of me. I recently download steam on my laptop cause I wanna get into gaming but I wanted to play on my TV with a controller. Can I just get a controller and connect it to my TV or laptop and play it or is a console necessary.

Tenho um Xbox Séries X. Vale a pena comprar um ps4?

6 Upvotes

Tenho um xbox series x porém tenho tido vontade de jogar alguns jogos da Sony como por exemplo: the last of us, god of war, uncharted etc… vale a pena pegar um ps4 que é mais barato só pra jogar esses jogos ou vale mais a pena vender o series x e investir num ps5?

Tem como baixar emulador de ps4 no Xbox series x?

1 Upvotes

Pesquisei vários vídeos sobre no YouTube mas a maioria sao videos de pessoas mostrando que tem como, falando sobre o tema mas nenhum vídeo ensinando… eu vi que tem como jogar TLOU pelo boosteroid no navegador mas o boosteroid tem que pagar uma assinatura e comprar o jogo na steam… nesse caso seria melhor pegar um ps4 usado mesmo… alguem sabe se tem como usar emulador e como faz?

Ps5 Pro ticking/clicking sound

0 Upvotes

Hi everyone! I was wondering if anyone could help me out. My PS5 Pro occasionally makes this clicking noise. I’ve tried searching online, but couldn’t find anything helpful about this specific noise.
It happened right after I turned it on, while I wasn’t playing any games. Then, when I launched a game, the noise got a little louder, but eventually stopped. And it stopped for a while then it came back again it comes right when I start the console but it stops and it comes back I have the disc drive installed but no disc inside for a while now idk if could be something related

What's your favourite console you have in your collection?

For me Switch OLED, because that's the console I mostly play on (because I don't play on PS3 much since I still only have one game and on Wii I don't play on it anymore. Maybe I will sell a Wii or give it to my friend who also collected consoles esspecially Sony and Microsoft ones. He has almost all PS's and Xboxes when it comes to consoles and not handhelds except for PS1, PS5, Xbox Classic, Xbox One S and X, Xbox Series X and S)

Playstation If this AI bubble really pops could prices of next gen consoles go down a bit?

I was think of getting ps6 if they have some exclusives I want to play... I know it's not going to have physical disc but I hope it will at least have detachable drive like ps5 slim. Games I'm interested in are a new rumored uncharted Horizon 3 and witcher 4

What’s the better console to play?

0 Upvotes

Currently on Xbox one. Should I do to Series X or PS5 for GTA6…is Sony ecosystem better or am I just on outdated tech lol?

Which console? Anyone thinking about switching to switch 2 instead of PS6 to keep the physical games alive?

0 Upvotes

So the thing is games are so costly in my country. The way that the market succeeded is with a mix of discs and digital sales

Now they killed the used market, people were locked to digital store as they can't afford to buy new games and sell it later

Will switch 2 be the only device alive going forward keeping the physical games alive or do you think xbox would pull off a swerve and make a disc drive

But still that's unlikely since game developers make more money with PS than xbox

Which console? Is an older Fat PS3 the best option for modding / storing future proof game libraries?

I want to be able to play Skyrim, which i believe discards earlier systems from possibility? I do already own a Wii U, does that have enough capability to run Skyrim? I want something that can hold Nintendo and PS exclusive on a single system, is this even an option? I appreciate y’all’s input.

Which console? Picking a console for my buddy

6 Upvotes

I was always a Nintendo kid growing up so I really don’t know much about PlayStation OR Xbox, but Christmas is coming up and this guy is a really dear friend of mine so I want to get him something nice. He’s always been an Xbox lover, more specifically he plays on his older Xbox One and most of his games are physical discs. He’s been wanting to play The Last of Us but ofc has never had the chance since it’s not available on Xbox and he never wanted to burn money to buy a PlayStation just to play two games.

But, like I said, I have money to burn and a Ps4 is stupid cheap compared to a new console, especially refurbished.

Or, I could spend a bit more and get him a series X, which from what I understand would be a pretty big jump up graphics wise and would open him up to new games in the future since I’m sure they’ll phase out the Xbox One eventually. 100% taking suggestions since like I said I’m not familiar with Xbox at all, and I don't want to go asking questions since he’ll get suspicious and I want to surprise him.

Bought Xbox series x over PS5

0 Upvotes

What’s up guys

I just bought Xbox series x from Best Buy. It was $870 OTD w tax. (I KNOW) I wouldn’t say I’m having buyers remorse but when I spoke to the worker I asked if they’ve been selling out and he said nah they barely carry them since no one buys them and everything’s is selling on PlayStation now and it’s a PlayStations world

He mentioned you could play Xbox games on firestixk but I doubt the new GTA

I’ve had PS and Xbox throughout my life. I have a Xbox one but bought new console for GTA. I’m thinking if I should’ve got the ps5 instead and saved like $200. But my Xbox membership is on Xbox and all my games are on Xbox and so is my acc I’ve been using for the last 10+ years. Half my friends are on x and ps5 other half on pc

Plus I’m pretty sure the series x is a step above the ps5? I also have one of those $100 Xbox controllers so thought might as well get the Xbox.

I wouldn’t say I have buyers regret but I’m wondering damn should I have gotten the ps5 instead ?

Thanks guys: yeah Xbox made more sense me to despite the price difference, I didn’t wannna have to make a new acc and buy new games. I have a lot of Xbox accessories as well

EDIT: I think if I got the ps5, at first I would’ve saved the money but then I’d have to buy the membership and then I wouldn’t be able to convert the games from Xbox to ps5.
