@GADG3Tx87 #capitalism - it’s called making money. Saw a story of a teen who became a millionaire re-selling (scalping). Start small re-I vest the profits. Don’t blame the scalpers blame the people overpaying. Ever since PS2 I would alway pre-order 3-5 consoles sell the extras for profit or at least making the one I kept “free”. I always chuckled - because if sold out I would just wait. This is the one time the rich can get fleeced. Because unless you’re wealthy why would you over pay 🙃🤣🫠🖖
@Richnj That’s not how it works. When you post a pre/order sale on eBay you pay NOTHING until AFTER the item sells. Example I pre-ordered 3 PS5’s (credit card isn’t charged until shipped) - I posted 2 on eBay. Sold them for enough profit to make the one I kept for myself “free”. I had ZERO money “sitting” anywhere. Had auction end day before pre-order finished. End of auction I simply changed ship to address to the winner (yup they paid shipping too). Don’t hate the player, hate the game 😎🖖
@Quadalog I guess you miss the logic of “MOST people don’t want to spend $70” can be true even when SOME people will spend $450? Understand MOST & SOME are different. it’s like MOST people won’t spend $200,000+ on a sports car, YET some spend $500,000 on a super sports car. LOL 🤦♂️🫠🙃🤨
@GADG3Tx87 you said “remember guys, they're "trying to feed their families" by buying up loads of stuff with money they could have used to feed their families.” - Are you not good with math? The game costs $99, so they could spend that $99 on food OR read slowly….sell it for $450 & even after eBay fees etc that’s a profit of $300+! So, that buys 3 times the food #duh
@Ryany you said “what’s the point when 99% games are available in the store…”, that’s like saying “what’s the point of Netflix 99% movies are available on DVD”. Get it? This is about Playstation Plus Premium- it’s gives you access to hundreds of games for a monthly/yearly fee ($120/yr = $10/mo) without having to buy per game. Think Netflix, but for gaming 👍. & never say never : https://www.psu.com/news/marvel-vs-capcom-2-remaster-talks-have-begun/
@lolwhatno - read my comment again - it was directed towards @nessisonett comment. I’ve used emulators for a long time and in my opinion CRT filters suck @$$! I prefer Smoothing Filters. That’s my solid opinion.
@nessisonett an example of how opinions vary - to me the CRT filter on right looks like rubbish. In all my emulators I use one of the Smoothing filters
@Kidfunkadelic83 Just think what makes it tough to categorize games - so many have combined genres. I agree Ratchet could be called an adventure game, technically it’s an Action-Platformer / 3rd person shooter.
@Milktastrophe you don’t “need save stares to best a game”? Is that a joke? It’s not about “beating the game”, it’s about not leaving a game on pause 24/7 & not being able to play any other games or turn off the console lol
@Nico_D #1 keep in mind this list was based on people’s votes not the writer’s opinion. My perspective is they used the base word “Adventure” which leaves it wide open to all/ANY adventure type games whether it’s text-adventure, puzzle-adventure, action-adventure etc.
If they said best “video games” ANY game right, best “puzzle game” well that could be Tetris or Uncharted - ANY game with puzzles, best shooter could be Call of Duty OR atari 2600 space invaders (it technically involves “shooting”. Anyway ✌️
@Nico_D u said “None of those are adventure games. Action-adventures” - Dude Action-ADVENTURE is a type of Adventure game, It’s right in the name. That’s like whining about top “racing games” - because they have a bunch of “off road racing”— that’s not racing that’s off-road racing. That’s not a car it’s a sports car. you’re funny 🤷♂️🙃
@GoodGame I loved it since launch day - just keeps getting better. I have over 2,000 hours in this game. And will be putting lots more in with this latest update 😎🖖
@doctorhino You must be pretty young - Console EXCLUSIVES has been a thing since day one of gaming. Sony didn’t start that trend lol. Do you really think Nintendo would be as big as it is now if their Mario/etc would play on all systems lol
Why this matters: EVERY YEAR: Call of Duty is #1 or #2 Selling game. 2021 Top PS5 game #2 was Call of Duty. And you better believe Microsoft isn’t going to spend $70 Billion NOT to make the next Call of Duty release exclusive!
@JaxonH We shall see…. All those PS4 & PS5 owners might surprise you with Brand Loyalty. I know i’ll never buy Microsoft Console for the same reason I only owned Commodore, Amiga, & Apple computers - I reward innovation
@xyopic 100% Agree. And i’m an old school player since Pitfall on the Atari 2600! Microsoft didn’t spend all that money to not be exclusive. Bye. Only hope is US blocks it as antitrust, but I won’t hold my breath
Ahhh Same old Microsoft - can’t create good things so steal or buy them (Copied Apple OS back in the day), And the irony - didn’t Microsoft cry about Sony not allowing games to have Cross-Platform play. Recent Past Microsoft “Sony let your players play with Our players”…Today/Future Microsoft “Oh, yeah Sony players - NO! NO game for you unless you use our stuff” - I’ve been Apple/Sony - Never NEVER will I bend the knee to evil Microsoft
@frabbit Get ready to thank me! My modem is also in my living room! For just $19 I bought 50ft of ethernet and ran it up the steps to my bedroom. works great!! Just search Amazon for “ RJ45 Cat-7 Ethernet patch cable” Here’s the exact stuff: Cat7 Flat Ethernet Cable, 50 Ft 10 Gigabit High Speed Solid Computer Network Cord with Snagless Rj45 Connectors. Specifications- Cable Type: CAT7 4-Pair SSTP - Connector Type: Gold-Plated RJ45(8P8C) - Cable Performance: Up to 600 MHz - Conductor Gauge: 32AWG - Cable Structure: Stranded
@frabbit I have gigabit download speed, and it works fine for me. Heck it worked well back when I had 400mbps. Only advice is Ethernet is Always better than wifi, just use Wired settings with all set to automatic easy setup.
I’ll buy (pre-order) probably 4 PS5 Standard, 1 PS5 Digital, sell 3 PS5 Standard on eBay for a nice profit which should cover the cost of the Standard/Digital ones I keep. #winning
Well, according to past Sony commercial by 2078 the PlayStation 9 will have electronic Spores, mind control & more...would that still count as a “console”?

Re: Apex Legends PS5 Release Date Coming 'Very, Very Shortly'
@Rural-Bandit Yup anything can happen I mean Playstation wouldn’t exist if Nintendo didn’t back out of a deal they made with Sony to help them make a new CD based console. Did you know that? interesting story lol. https://nationalpost.com/entertainment/how-nintendos-massive-mistake-led-to-the-creation-of-the-sony-playstation-25-years-ago
