I have a charging dock that I use to put my controller on when I am not using it so that if it's not in use, it's being charged. The charge time on the battery packs is around 15 hours and I honestly don't play that long during the day so I know that the battery pack I use will not run out mid gaming session. Once I have finished gaming, I will always put my controller back on the dock so that it can fully charge again without the worry of it dying on me when I next game.

Yes, my cat Smokey who unfortunately passed away in July used to sit with me all the time when I gamed. She would either lay on my desk at the side of me if I was gaming at my desk or making videos for YouTube at my desk or she would sit next to me or lay on my knees if I was sat on the sofa playing. I actually miss that she isn't here now and doesn't sit by my side when I game but I will always have those memories.

As much as I would love to see a Saturn Classic I don't know if we will be seeing one any time soon. I'm not saying that we will never see one or there would never be a possibility of them ever announcing one as there is always that possibility but with there being nothing as of yet and no rumors, usually that indicates there is nothing in the plans at the moment. Hopefully one day we will see one.

If I am honest, I think it would be a shock it anyone was to come out with another console at all being that Xbox, PlayStation and Nintendo seem to be doing so well. I would never say never though because you never know what each company has in mind. Apple or Amazon would be my top choices for releasing a console if there ever was going to be another company bringing one out.

You are very lucky and hopefully it stays that way for you. In the last two years I have had issues with at least 3 or 4 controllers one of them was an official as well, touch wood I haven't had any issues with my new controller which is an official. Is yours an official or a 3rd party? Usually, I notice the first thing to go is always the left thumbstick which gets stick drift which is just the worst.

Yeah, I really feel that the newer dashboard takes so much more time to boot up now than it ever used to as they have so much on it. The blade dashboard was basic, but it worked and that is what I liked about it. I understand they want to be able to advertise and have sponsors but for some, especially those on old gen it can lead the console to slow down.

It doesn't bother me. Microsoft's main focus is Game Pass. They don't care how many Series S or X's they sell. They want lots of Game Pass subcriptions. I will always prefer xbox consoles over Playstation though, but how many Microsoft sells doesn't matter to me, as long as they keep making consoles. 🙂 I don't think Microsoft is worried though, they lose money on every console they sell to begin with, but still push them out, like I said, they make their bulk of revenue from Game Pass & software sales.

I would say probably Fortnite! It was different and it's still being played today on the Series line of Xbox. I also really enjoyed Titanfall & Titanfall 2 though. 🙂

With the servers for a lot of games being turned offline. I don't see why not, if you have the means to do so. Modded consoles can be a lot of fun. I would be careful and not try to connect to your xbox live account on a modded console though in case they permanently ban the account.

I think so. The games I play now, specifically Fortnite are getting heavier and more advanced, using unreal engine 5 now, it lags a lot on my aging Xbox One X, so yes, I do believe there is definitely a need for the Series S & X. I wish I could afford an X right now. As stated above, the Xbox Series X outperforms the S, if you have an Xbox One, One S or One X, the Series S will outperform those, the Series X will out perform the Series S, so it's a significant upgrade, in my opinion.

They turned off the Halo servers on the Xbox 360 so I would think other games will follow if they haven't already. I would guess by 2024 the Xbox 360 servers will be pretty dead as the Xbox One line of consoles will be 11 years old by then and the Xbox 360 will be nearly 20.

I never really used my PS4 too much, I'm an Xbox Girl mostly, so I would say I prefer Xbox Live over Playstation Plus.

I don't think so. I don't think any gaming manufacturer will completely stop making consoles, even Microsoft is said to be working on a new model of Xbox better than the Series S & X right now. I don't see Sony stopping after the PS5. I could be wrong, but Cloud gaming isn't where it needs to be, so there will still be a need for stronger hardware & physical media, at least for awhile longer yet. 🙂

If you're going to actually play it. I would go for a PS3 Slim model, the older fat models, while some are fully backwards compatible with all PS1, PS2 and PS3 games, they are prone to breaking down. If you're going to use the console regularly on a more frequent basis, I would go w/ the Slim revision model, If you're just collecting it and not going to use it much, then the fat model is nice as a display piece. 🙂

Personally, I don't mind either. Me and my boyfriend game share on Xbox so he tends to buy a lot of games digitally for the Xbox, but personally I wouldn't mind having a physical collection of games, if given the choice between models, I would go physical.

I don't believe there's a way to change the color of the lightbar on the PS5. It has presets for games to utilize to indicate things such as health status or player status eg: Player 1, Player 2, and so on. I don't believe there is a way to change the colors to what you want while using the controller on the PS5 itself.

This could be an issue with your TV or perhaps the HDR settings on your console? Have you tried adjusting the settings on your TV? If it's only happening in certain games, make sure your visual settings for that game are set properly.

I don't see the purpose of doing this, if the PS5 is backwards compatible with most PS4 games, why would you replace a PS5 with a PS4? I'm sure you have your reasoning for doing so, but I just can't find a logical reason to want an older console over a newer one if you have access to the newer, more powerful hardware. Hell, I'm on an Xbox One X and games are slowly becoming harder & harder to run on it. I would love to upgrade to a Series X if I could in the future.

This is a very neat & informative video! It's hard to believe the Playstation brand has been around for so long! I'll always be an xbox girl but there's no denying the Playstation has some cool games on it.

I'm not picky with controllers as long as they work. I wouldn't mind a purple one though if I owned a PS5, I would want the purple controller, maybe modified with my gamertag on it. 🙂 As far as I know, there is no "Design Lab" like option for Sony. I think the only way you get a customized design is through a company like ScufGaming.

My son has one. My boyfriend helped us mod it a few years ago and load up games onto it as my son couldn't find any of the physical games he had for it. 🙂 It's a neat little handheld.

Wow! it's been that long for this franchise? It doesn't seem that long! I remember playing one of the Sly Cooper games on my brother's PS2 back in the day! No way it's been 20 years! Wow! Now i feel old. 😛

I hope you enjoy the purchase! My boyfriend bought me a Switch a couple years ago and me and my kids love it. We play games like Mario Kart together. It's a great console. I played it a lot while streaming when my xbox controller packed up on me and I was without an xbox controller for a few months. Grateful to have a Switch in times like those!

I heard there was a lot of controversy around this game and it's voice actress being fired. I don't know all the deals but I heard people were cancelling their pre-orders in protest. The game from what I've seen looks interesting. I never played the previous titles though so I doubt i'll be picking up this one any time soon. Does the news around this game hinder your purchase? or are you still picking up the game? Personally, if it was a game I wanted to buy, I would buy it regardless. It's not the fans fault some actress wasn't paid enough or whatnot. Just my two cents.

My laptop is pretty old. I've had to replace it's battery & charger a couple of times. I would say on battery I get roughly over an hour if i'm lucky. My laptop no longer runs Windows either. I believe it's currently running Linux Mint.
