I use it all the time. My kids probably use it more but I would say 3-4 times a week.

Shouldn't you be working?

Do you use it much? We borrowed our nephew's oculus once and had a great time with it I just don't know how it works. Do you buy games for it, digitally?

As i said to the other guy, you're lucky then. Its well documented that its an actual issue with the Joycons, I believe there was even a class action lawsuit about it. Nintendo even admitted it and offered to fix them free of charge, in the US.

Thanks for mentioning the disc vs digital thing, I was super indecisive about that. I always thought digital was more worth it because it's cheaper and I assumed nobody cared about physical stuff anymore. Good to know Playstation has a game pass equivalent! He really takes advantage of game pass.

Oh he already has a Series X. Then it's easy. Get him the PS5. Make sure you get the disc version. The ability to find super cheap games, and to borrow/ trade will more than make up for the $100 "savings" of the digital version.

The PS Extra Subscription will get him about 450+ games for $100. This is about the same number of games that he probably gets on his Xbox Game Pass but it will hook him up with a ton of PS exclusives.

Yeah he likes single player games, honestly he plays Destiny exclusively lmao. He's talked about trying spider man and God of War, which I'm assuming are Playstation exclusive.? I just always thought Xbox and Playstation were the same thing

Personally, I would go for the VR as he already has a console. I got one last year and it was definitely worth it.

Yeah he has a series x, he just mentioned wanting to try spider man and other Playstation exclusive games. I know that the frame rate (or something) is important to him, and I'm only trying to buy him a new console because he's been tempted to get it himself but feels too guilty to do it. VR is such a complicated concept to me, I'll have to do more research. Thanks for the input c:

If you dont care about sony exclusives then xbox is better. You wont need to pay for cloud saves and other random stuff. Gamepass has forza and halo and loads of other good games

Read my comment properly, i didn't say it was shit

If he's an Xbox fan, I'm assuming he already has an Xbox. So get him a PS5.

The "new" consoles are 2 years old but the last generation Xbox (which your husband probably has) still plays all but 3 of the same games. They are finally releasing some big, next gen only titles later this year but I think those can still played on last gen hardware via the cloud anyway.

While a new Xbox Series X will make every one of his existing games look and play better, it won't add to his available library. A PS5 (especially with a PS Plus Extra subscription) will give him immediate access to a ton of new Playstation exclusive titles (many Game of the Year Award winners) that he's been missing out on.

VR is a different animal. I'm looking at getting into it myself now as the tech seems to be getting good. But I'm still not sure if it's something I'll spend $600 on and only play for a month. The new PSVR2 cones out soon and it supposedly has superior hardware but requires a ps5 to play.

You can get vga monitor and convert to hdmi

What kind of games does he like to play? If he plays mainly single player games, and likes good stories that keep you hooked and games with plenty of action I recommend a PlayStation 5 as he'll love God of war, horizon zero dawn and forbidden west, spider man etc etc.

Yeah I always assumed Playstation and Xbox were similar, but I've heard Playstation has games not available on Xbox. We do occasionally play together but I like to give him alone time so I'm not constantly bugging him lol. Thanks for the advice! This stuff is pricey so I really appreciate it c:

I'm not sure either lol I upvoted your comment, anyways if you do get one just drop a message or sum I'll give you my gt got an active gc too

If he already has a recent console from microsoft, then he doesn't need another honestly. I have an occulus and I don't play with it often. it's interesting but makes you very dizzy.

Xbox and playstation share 99% of their game catalog. So one or the other is good enough. Instead, spend money on quality time with him... get closer, and why not, buy a controller for yourself and play with him :)

Both my boyfriend and I wanted Switches so bad. We both got bored of them real quick

I bought a switch for the exclusives but found myself not playing it after I had completed the games I wanted to play (which was about a few months). I do play it occasionally to play group games or when I'm travelling but otherwise I don't anymore.

Id advise you to buy one second hand to avoid the bug price tag

Definitely worth it! My whole family plays the one we have and have never had any problems with it other then me forgetting my password for my Nintendo account which isn’t really even a problem at all

I’ve also never had this experience and I’ve had mine for quite awhile as well it’s much loved actually

Honestly I love my switch, but I don't think I would buy it again. I'd get a ps5 instead. That being said the portability is amazing, I take holidays in a small van and it always goes with me.

The exclusive games are great but they are very expensive, never go on sale, and are unlikely to ever go down in price. All other games will be cheaper on another console.

The joy con drift is a very common problem and the controllers are expensive to buy and fix. Depending on where you live you can apparently get Nintendo to fix them for free but not where I am (UK)

My ps4 handles every game better, the switch doesn't cope well with big games. Dragon quest builders 2 is really laggy once you get some big structures up for instance.

Holy shit this machine is loud. It sounds like there is an aircraft carrier in the room, and genuinely gives me headaches.

Lol so cute.

Have fun, lots of good games for those 2 systems.

Only use mine for gatherings for a game of monopoly or mario party, other than that it’s basically a dust catcher
