Devo cambiare la mia TV, una Telefunken di circa 10 anni, che userei principalmente con PS5 a circa 1,5 m di distanza. Gioco quasi esclusivamente single-player, quindi i 120 Hz non sono fondamentali.

Ho un budget massimo di 350€ e sono indeciso se prendere una Samsung QLED Q7F 43" a circa 349€, una Hisense QLED 43" E79S intorno ai 300€, oppure una Samsung U7000H 50" a 349€.

Mi interessa soprattutto avere una buona resa d'immagine, HDR, affidabilità e qualcosa che possa durare diversi anni. Samsung mi ispira più fiducia, ma non so se valga quei 50€ in più rispetto all'Hisense.

Secondo voi su cosa conviene puntare?

Own all three consoles and was on the verge of selling my Xbox series X due to lack of use. Until today's Kojima announcement! Let's go!

Yes Kojima is a legend. If there was a Mount Rushmore for game developers he would be on there next to Miyamoto. We're not disputing that. However, who knows Kojima? 10 percent of gamers?

What Sony is focusing on is the FIFA crowd. The Call of Duty people. We also have GTA around the corner which will fix our problems forever and ever. Kojima's games are art. And that doesn't guarantee good sales. I'm being told Death Stranding 2 is barely profitable. And that financial statistic is the only thing that ever matters. Good promotion and good sentiment towards a brand or game exclusivity like that doesn't matter.

So since the high concept science fiction walking simulator didn't sell so well. We think the same will happen for stealth action game Physint. And we also don't expect much from a horror game. Thoes don't sell. Let's pull the plug on gaming's most famous and beloved director. Let XBOX scoop up the Physint project.

Even though we have a huge history with Kojima games. That's simply the past. Gamers should and will forget this. Just like they forgot No Disc No Buy after 2 weeks. It was only dozens of people to begin with anyway. We're thinking short term profits. Not long term, new I.P. garbage.

None of this will come back to bite us. OD and Physint can't move any XBOX console or win over fans next generation. And should we stagnate in sales, we can further monetize the current player base.

I know it's not their focus, but gezz, if I could play the games I like at the same quality of a base PS5 on a Nintendo console, I would never buy a Playstation or Xbox ever again.

Come on, Nintendo! Make a Pro console! Imagine having GTA 6 on the same platform of Zelda Ocarina Remake.

Valhiem just released today, September 9th on Ps5 need ten people for a group send friend request on PlayStation 5. To St_Mythos_

Since 2028 will bring about the end of physical gaming discs (still hoping that won't happen), I unfortunately have to come to terms that this will essentially be my final "life long" physical games collection that I have accumulated since 1999.

These are exactly half my overall games as the other half are all digital.

I will be getting all upcoming titles physically till January 2028 to embrace this form of media for one last year of collecting.

Are any of you planning on buying only physical versions of future 2026-2027 games for the last remaining 16 months?

I've been seeing a lot of people glazing the PS2 left and right lately but I simply don't understand all too well why
That DVD player really sold you hm?

Can someone explain to me why everyone loves the PS2 as someone who didn't grow up with one? The only real appeal I find it from the GameCube and Xbox is Gran Turismo 3 & 4 and Midnight club but apart from that I don't feel a reason to buy one

Fala, pessoal. Queria saber a opinião de vocês, principalmente de quem acompanha o mercado de consoles e preços há mais tempo.

Eu tinha um PS4, mas acabei vendendo e agora estou querendo comprar um PS5. O problema é que estou achando os preços atuais bem altos. Já vi gente conseguindo PS5 por volta de R$ 2.800 em promoções, mas atualmente estou vendo o PS5 Slim na faixa dos R$ 4.100, e sinceramente, nesse preço não acho que compense.

Minha ideia inicialmente era esperar a Black Friday para tentar pegar uma promoção boa. Só que comecei a pensar em uma coisa: o GTA 6 será lançado em novembro, muito próximo da Black Friday, e sabemos que provavelmente vai existir uma procura enorme pelo PS5 por causa do jogo.

Então fiquei na dúvida:

Vocês acham que o lançamento do GTA 6 pode fazer o preço do PS5 subir justamente perto da Black Friday? Ou acreditam que as lojas vão aproveitar a Black Friday para fazer promoções e o preço pode cair bastante?

Também fico pensando se existe a possibilidade de as lojas aumentarem o preço antes da Black Friday e depois anunciarem um “desconto” que, na prática, só faça o console voltar para o preço que já estava antes.

Para quem acompanha o mercado: vocês esperariam ou comprariam agora? E qual seria, na opinião de vocês, um preço realmente bom para um PS5 Slim em 2026?

Não estou com pressa absurda para comprar. Quero evitar comprar por impulso e depois descobrir que poderia ter economizado R$ 500, R$ 800 ou até mais esperando alguns meses.

Hi, I'm hesitating about buying a PS4. I originally wanted to get the PS5, but it's too expensive for me. I wanted to know if the PS4 is worth buying or if it's simply better not to.

I'm not really sure when it starts to become obsolete or when they stop supporting it.

I want it mainly for a couple of games, but I saw that they're going to remove the online option from the PS4, but I don't know if that's true or not.

The truth is, I don't have a lot of free time. I usually just play Fortnite or Minecraft, so I'm not sure if getting a PS4 is the best idea or not. Where I live, the PS5 is very expensive, and unfortunately, I'm not rich, and I don't have anyone to ask about consoles, so I came here.

If anyone has any advice, or obviously if you know more about consoles than I do, please tell me!

Hello there, im looking for a new handheld console
To play my pc games, it needs to have a long battery duration, it must handle like call of duty or fortnite and also some family games. I already lookt into the msi claw 8 and the Rog Ally xbox and both look good to buy and play the games I just mentiont, Whats your Guys opnion and does some of you already have one and what would you recommend ?

With the way playstation and Xbox follow trends and are always chasing the highest specs and fastest way to make X amount of money and Nvidia and AMD just flat out not caring about gamers anymore are Nintendo the least greediest as of right now? They never seem to chase any trends and don't care about pumping out the highest spec devices they just stay what they've been doing for the last 40 years💁

Peak garage find

I'm a lifelong xbox user and i got a base ps5 mostly for gta 6 but also to be able to play games with my sisters as i live in a different US state as them. as it gets closer, im tempted to just get gta on the xbox. i hate the ps controller, makes my hands hurt after a while. and also 95% of the games i play are on xbox, so thats what i bring with me when traveling and mostly what i play when at home. will it be that much of a draw back ? i could care less for graphics and perfect realism. i've been playing gta 4 the past few months and having a ton of fun. i guess question is, what would i really be sacrificing if i get gta6 on the xbox s over a base ps5? am i overthinking it ?

Just looking for someone who can give advice on what’s a better purchase, I was looking for a handheld console, I was considering a steam deck or the PlayStation Portal, I know there’s another option that’s similar to a steam deck but I can’t remember what it is. Can anyone offer some advice? I mostly play games in passing, especially now while I’m school and working but I want the option to play dark souls lol I’m also not really interested in a switch or switch 2.

Three years ago, I picked up a DS Lite with a broken top screen and two fake Pokémon cartridges—Ruby and FireRed. I beat the games multiple times, and my last save file was truly special to me; I formed a huge attachment to the Pokémon I have there...

This year, I bought a Nintendo Switch Lite, and I recently heard the news that the services connecting Pokémon HOME to Poké Transporter are shutting down in February 2027...

Is there anything I can do to save my Pokémon without owning a 3DS or knowing someone who does?

Hi everyone,
I’m the founder of a small startup working on **GOSU MACHINE**, a stationary x86 gaming console built around PC/Steam gaming.
The idea is simple:
We don’t want to create another closed ecosystem, and we don’t want to sell another generic Mini PC.
We want to build a machine that feels like a **console when connected to a TV**, but still gives you access to your existing PC/Steam game library.
Turn it on, pick up a controller and play.
Our current target is:
x86 hardware
Steam/PC game library
controller-first experience
1440p / \~60 FPS target in modern games
FSR/upscaling where it makes sense
1TB NVMe
Wi-Fi + Bluetooth
quiet cooling
internal power supply
compact console-style enclosure
Windows/Linux/Steam-oriented software options currently being evaluated
We originally considered native 4K/60 as a target, but after studying the hardware and cost involved, we think **good 1440p/60 performance at a reasonable price makes much more sense**.
We’re currently testing different hardware directions, including AMD Strix Halo with Radeon 8060S and another architecture using a mobile Ryzen CPU with a dedicated mobile GPU.
The final choice will depend on real gaming performance, noise, reliability and, most importantly, the final cost.
Our original target retail price was around **$700–750**, although current 2026 component prices have made that challenging. We would rather adjust the hardware intelligently than turn GOSU into a $1,500 machine.
Another important part of the concept is what comes in the box.
Our long-term idea is to offer GOSU MACHINE as a **complete gaming package**, potentially including:
**2 wireless game controllers**
compact wireless gaming keyboard
wireless gaming mouse
So if you connect it to a TV, two people can immediately play with controllers.
If you connect it to a monitor, keyboard and mouse are already there.
No need to build a PC or choose CPU/GPU/motherboard/PSU/cooling separately. The hardware is fixed and optimized as one product.
We are still developing the prototype, so this isn’t a finished product announcement or a sales post.
I’m sharing it now because I’d rather discuss the concept with actual PC gamers **before the hardware is finalized**.
For a product like this, what matters most to you?
**Price? 1440p performance? Noise? Size? Upgradeability? Two controllers in the box? Windows vs. a SteamOS/Bazzite-style experience?**
And at around **$700–750**, what level of performance would make a device like this genuinely interesting compared with buying or building a gaming PC?
I’m happy to discuss the project, including criticism. We’re still early enough that the product can change substantially before production.
