I’m late to the party but finally got a PS5 slim as my first next-gen (current gen?) console :D
Great system and controller, the only downside is its huge chassis which doesnt fit on my tv shelf.

Then for the games I got Silent Hill 2 and Space Marine 2 to go with it. Pleasantly surprised by how great a remake SH2 is. I hope they do SH1 next.

Nice one. Congrats!. 

Same as you, a sale happened here a little early, I was waiting for the PRO and my PS4 PRO to last as long as it did through heating issues but couldn't justify 890 euro on it. It's good to be late in a way cause now we get all the good stuff on sale, even though I've been buying full price stuff. 

May I suggest you buy PS+ and snatch up Rift Apart, Demon souls, Returnals and a few others and look for the free upgrades to games you have. Some are amazing like The Witcher 3 and Cyberpunk which I believe are on PS+ Extra as well. And Stellar Blade if you're into the action genre, it's the best 9th gen game I've played yet and perhaps one of the best games ever, it made it's way into my top 20 and I still haven't been able to stop playing since I beat it. 

How are you finding it besides the size? Did ya upgrade from base PS4 or PS4 PRO? I'd assume the jump from base PS4 would be more of a wow factor than from PRO. Pretty cool, right, like a PS4 PRO 2 😀 ?

Nothing honestly. Busy working and didn't have time to shop.

Uptill now Balatro on Switch for EUR12.99. Still am shopping.

Nice, I bought it too but playing it is another story. It's very difficult to get a game up and running like you see them in let's plays. 

Having a lot of fun with it eventhough half the time I don't know what's going on. It will take time to understand all the systems. Bought it for the Switch because I like puzzle games like this in handheld mode. Only downside so far is some of the text' size is a little on the small side for my aging eyes in handheld mode.

Seems like a perfect switch game while on the move and I hear that a lot, people who don't like poker loving this game.

Black Friday already came and went?

No it's technically supposed to be this Friday. It's just the pre Black Friday sales are now lumped with the actual Black Friday sales itself. 

Anywoo, I got myself Mario 3D World + Bowser's Fury because I need to play the later and feel how much the changed speed affects the gameplay of the original.

You’re in for a treat. Bowser’s Fury is excellent — so much so that I hope the next 3D Super Mario is modeled after its open-world design.

As for the changed speed in SM3DW, I’m conflicted. It makes things snappier but it sometimes messes with the rhythm of a level.

Anyway, I hope your enjoy them!



Carpet cleaner that's intended for Pets and a couple of yoga mats.

Lol. You know your youth is gone too when you feel good about these things. It wasn't long ago that I got genuinely excited over a new mop and bucket. 😀

Hahahaa its true. 

But honestly I also dived into getting some tech for Black Friday, most were on sale but not all, I got...

- Vision of Mana
- No Man's Sky
- Final Fantasy Anniversary Collection
- Marvel vs Capcom Fighting Collection (wasn't on sale but wanted it)
- another Duelsense controller
- iPad Pro M4 (wasn't on sale but wanted it) along with pen and keyboard that was on sale
- 8TB HDD for my desktop
- WiFi extender

Contemplating Steller Blade, Metaphor and Hogwartz Legacy. But feel like I already have so much in my backlog that by the time I'll finally want to play these that they'll be cheaper lol

I also need a new left joycon since my launch one is drifting mad even after "fixing" that only seemed to have lasted temporary.

Thanks, man! Yeah, I was also shocked at the PS5 Pro launch price. Reminded me of Kaz Hirai and the infamous 599 USD presentation.

I upgraded from a PS4 slim which is luckily still working as good as the day I bought it. I have it on the TV shelf next to the ps3 slim and the ps2 slim. So maybe I'm a mid-cycle customer after all You make a good point about the established catalog at the mid-cycle. Btw thanks for the game recommendations! I am also very curious about Stellar Blade but I feel like I should probably beat Nier Automata first. My backlog of shame is getting more shameful by the day.

Apart from the console's huge size, I'm finding it great. I appreciate the backwards compat, the improved UI, and the much faster loading times. Considering new game install sizes I wonder if 1TB is not too little storage. The graphics are WOW-level great. My mind cannot imagine what playing on a PS5 pro must be like.

Are you still planning on getting the PS5 PRO down the line or will you hold out until the next gen?
