I honestly regret buying my gaming laptop. I barely use it since I don’t have space in my room, so I need to attach it to the TV, every time I need to use, move my series X and unplug it… And I need a wired controller. Then, there’s always a pesky update, drivers, stuff… When I’m playing on my X I don’t have to worry about any of that, is more of a hassle to use (the laptop).

Ngl I basically bought it because I wanted to play Spiderman and other not available games on Xbox but even like that the regret is there.

    My PS5. Even at the time, I knew my gaming days were behind me but figured I’d still use it for media streaming, Blu-Ray playing, and playing my PS4 disks.

    Well, the Playstation Plex app is garbage, I barely watch blu-rays, and turns out I played more than enough of those games a decade ago.

      We definitely regretted at first, there were like no games to play. But are using it now

        Like I said, I’m just not a gamer anymore and was buying it more as a home media device that me and my partner could play Minecraft on every now and then. Turns out that Sony’s support for the media streaming I care about is trash, so my PS5 gets maybe an hour of on time a month

      I don’t play often, but when I do play, I lose an entire weekend. (I’m almost 50, BTW.)

      I really love their VR system; the resolution is amazing.

      Ngl if my country would’ve sold PS5 during the pandemic I would’ve bought one instead of the X. Having Spiderman and god of war in my current console would’ve most likely cancelled the plans of buying a laptop… Domino effect.

        Fair enough, grass is always greener I suppose. I personally wish I’d have gone with Xbox, which has a functional Plex and Shudder app. ATM, I’m watching most things on my TV by just running an HDMI from my laptop and trying to justify the purchase of a Shield Pro, which would make my PS5 entirely useless
