Remember these consoles aren’t getting cheap cheaper

Looking for a handheld gaming console for my boyfriend to use while travelling. Something with decent games that work offline, good battery life, and isn’t too cheap or toy-like.

I’ve seen the R36S and Anbernic consoles on Amazon UK. Which one’s the best under £50? Open to other suggestions too!

Thanks! :)

I think it's reasonable to say that to this day the PS2 is the best console of all time. You got great titles & exclusives, it lasted for years on end, came with a built in DVD player, and was/is great for the price. You didn't have to deal with downloading games, you didn't have high prices, no signing in to an online network, you actually owned what you purchased, etc.

I think for these reasons it still holds up as the best console ever made.

My main reason is probably play-anywhere, you get access to the pc version for free.

Ich möchte mal wieder etwas Konsole zocken und den GTA6 Hype mitnehmen. Leider sind die Preise aktuell astronomisch…daher gebraucht.
Setup ist ein 4K TV 85“. Bisher habe ich eine Xbox one x gehabt.

Ich bin ehrlich vermutlich werde ich das Spiel etwas spielen evtl auch durchspielen aber dann würde ich vermutlich die Konsole verkaufen. Nun die Frage ob es sich lohnt so 200-250€ mehr für 4K bei der PS5 auszugeben.

Sieht man den Unterschied so sehr? Also natürlich wenn man nicht den direkten 4K Vergleich hätte?

Läuft das GTA6 ruckelfrei auf der Series s?

Was würdet ihr machen?

Hi guys! I am almost 2 month searching for a controller/console like nintendo that on i can play both of my fav gatcha games, but nothing… I am starting to give up😭 i just know my phone does not handle it so good and i always wanted to play on a console cuz it would be better for my gaming time and for my phone too. I saw modes and codes and buying those consoles that are hacked but firstly i dont trust in them and secondly i dont wanna put my accounts on these type of products xd If anybody can help id be the happiest person in the world! I dont have that much money but i know somewhere in reddit there is one person who can help😭🙏🏼 (take care and kisses)

I found this thing at a Goodwill and know the design is a complete copy of the Sega Dreamcast controller, but there's nothing on it telling me what it actually is so if anyone has any idea what this is I'd appreciate it.

My issue is that the cables are not av cables but are 3.5mm cables. I want to leave this crappy thing as stock as I can so what should I do to connect it to my CRT? I'd settle for hdmi too.

It’s been months of deciding, I’m finally gonna do it. Been a PC guy for years. I grew up with the 360, I love Xbox, I just need to pull the trigger.
Where do you guys recommend I get the most bang for my buck? Refurb is totally fine, I’ll spend whatever money I need to spend, but I don’t want to get ripped off.
Is Microsoft refurb solid? FB marketplace? Just looking for any advice on where to buy, and if there’s any specifics I should watch out for. Open to any and all advice.
Also, is it too late?? Should I just wait for next gen? I can’t lie, I will lose sleep if I can’t play GTA 6 on release, so that’s part of my urgency here.
Last question - what was your biggest decider when buying one? Gamepass? Cloud play? What sold you on Xbox?
Thanks!

What will happen?

A new Xbox Research survey suggests the company is exploring a potential shift back toward console exclusivity.

Heya, I'm considering getting a new console but I'm not sure which one, i move around a lot so it needs to be something portable, i own a switch 1 already and tbh the only reason I'd get a switch 2 would be for some exclusive games. Steam deck seems good but is probably the most expensive one, and i have like 0 knowledge in gaming laptops so i don't even know where I'd have to look. I value offline gaming tho.

I'll be honest I'm a PC player and I got an Xbox X solely so I can play gta6 when it comes out, however the controller gives me carpal tunnel issues, and I prefer playing with a mouse anyway. I know GTA6 won't support kb+m natively, so I'm thinking of getting some adapter so I can play the single player story with mouse + keyboard. I don't need any of the fancy features like scripting and stuff people use to cheat on console, I just want a basic, preferably cheap (and hopefully sold in the EU too) adapter that just does the mouse movement well.

Any recommendations? I'm kinda lost rn, people seem to always say XIM or Cronus, but I honestly don't need all that fancy stuff, just very basic mouse movement + keyboard support that's not crap.

No seriously, in almost every gaming related subreddit I see at least one posting like this. Do they know that a sold console is a sold console and they cant un-support the controversity going on by selling it? Btw the crybaby Playstation subreddit deleted this post not getting the satirical und serious question behind it. Yes the bike has nothing to do with the topic, but silly and un-asked like this looks its like other players feel about these postings. I'm a PC player so whats going on in the console bubble? Why do people swap platform?

Xbox series no controller going for 2500
512gb
No games empty console
Comes with HDMI and Powercord

Looking to buy a keyboard and mouse for my ps5. Any recommendations
