Calling on you gamers

So I was thinking of selling my Switch with carry case, dock, pro controller and 9 games for a PS4 that comes with 2 controllers - but what about loadshedding? I would need to get a generator to power the PS4 and I do like to live life dangerously 😅

I run my PS5 with my generator. No issues at all.

Found my old Arcade games on one of my external HDD's backup. Surprisingly the old MAME emulator that I used on my old Win 7 PC is working on Win 11. Played some of the old games that I used to play when still at school. Space InvadersPinball Action, Rygar, Elevator Action etc. If I saved all the 20c that I used to play these arcade games it would've been quite a sum of money these these days. To quickly waste R1 on games was nothing in those days...in hindsight will I do it again and my answer will definitely a YES

So according to something I read the other day, PS5 sales are doing great - oh and, I believe there's talks about a Nintendo Switch 2?

Last December I was in the USA. At that time the PS5 Slim was just released there. Not being able to even pre-order it yet in SA I bought one over there and brought it back in my onboard luggage. At that time I was using a PS4 Pro with an upgraded SSD and all thought there is not a day and night difference, it does run quite a bit better than a normal PS4. My daughter was nagging me for a TV in her room so I donated mine to her and bought a LG 50" 4k unit for my gaming setup. The difference going from a 4 Pro on a HD screen to a 5 on a 4K screen was massive and worth every cent !

 

The PS5 Pro was also announced a week or so ago with the release date somewhere in November. It looks like it will be an impressive console. I Won't be buying it thought because it looks like it will have a good price increase over the current model and it won't be much of an upgrade for me unless I get a 8K TV as well.
