2 things: First, I didn't know what to make the poll, so I just did something random. Second, I'm sure a thread like this has already been made, but the website's search function only goes back 90 days. A thread older than that might get accused of necro-bumping anyway.

What kind of first-world problems do you have regarding video games? I'll start.

I play 3 consoles on the same TV (PS3, PS4, and Wii U). However, my TV only has 2 HDMI connectors...

Get an HDMI splitter. They are really useful, I used one so that my PS3/X360/Wii U could all share just 1 HDMI port on my TV.


Oh! Why did I never think of that!? My brain doesn't like working.

I voted "Patcher gets a prediction right" because he "predicted" PS4 leadership in 2015.



Same here. I use the same 32" TV for my PC, Wii U and XONE. And I'm getting a PS4 at some point, so it's gonna be a huge pain. The first-world solution would be buying a 4K TV for PC and one of the consoles, and then use this 32" TV on the other two. However, before getting a 4K TV, I need a 4K capable GPU (Radeon 295x2 comes to mind), but before that I need a bigger PSU because my CPU is a power-hungry beast (FX 9590) and that gpu consumes 500W, so I'm afraid the 850W XFX PSU I posses might not be enough.

It's so painful to be a first-world gamer in a third-world country.

I have too many games and no time to play them. :

I don't have enough time to play all the games I buy.



Play immensely epic shooter campaign that plays like a movie with graphics that would have entirely blown and destroyed your grade-school self's mind.
