That really isn't uncommon with electronics. I fix older game consoles and sell them as a hobby to fund my game collecting habits. I see differences all the time even within the same model of console. For example, the Xbox had 3 different disc drives. Some worked better than others. The PS3 had...

I haven't seen this yet. It might be happening while I'm asleep lol. I found my PS3 on in the morning a few days ago and I didn't turn it on. I was playing it and had the controller out. But I do have a cat so she might have hit a button on the controller to turn on the console. Who knows lol...

Mine is as quiet as a mouse's fart. I'm more likely to hear the disc drive than the fan.

I streamed Aliens Colonial Marines last night. It was just as crappy as I remembered lol. But several years of separation from it and the disappointment I felt at the time, I actually got sucked in last night. I'd say it's average at best but worth a play through, considering you can get the...

Kojima was 100% in charge of the game. Wouldn't the original be his directors cut? lol. Also, I need to finish this game. I got to a good stopping point then kinda stopped a year ago lol.

Moved to PS5 Accessories and Peripherals. It'll more likely get answered here than in Introductions :)

My brother got me the Star Wars Despecialized Edition for Christmas on blu-ray. It's been a long time since I saw the original unmolested Star Wars movies. Though it's not an official release, it's the closest we will get until, rather if, Disney actually releases the original theatrical...

Working on Red Dead Redemption 2. Though I've kinda gotten hooked on an OG Xbox game Crimson Skies: High Road to Revenge and that's been eating up my time lol. I need to get back on my PS4.

That's good advice. Thank you for sharing! I still run my PS3 and PS4 (obvs lol) and log into both pretty regularly so knowing this will save me a lot of headache!

I think you'll be ok. They designed it with entertainment centers in mind. I think most people will have it in some kind of entertainment center. Heck, all my consoles are in an entertainment center. But when I designed and built mine, I designed it around airflow so there's a good like 8 inches...

I live in the suburbs not far from NYC. From what I understand, my state has had a bit of a real estate boom the last several months because people from the city are moving away from it. Especially in the more open areas of NJ.

The pictures appear to not exist. But as long as the console isn't completely enclosed, you should be alright. Airflow on gaming consoles is very important for sure. I designed and built my own entertainment center and I made the shelves shorter to allow great airflow from the front and back...

I wouldn't assume it would unless it specifically states it does lol. But they don't look expensive so you can roll the dice on it and see what happens. Worst case you can return it. Amazon is good about that lol.

I just poked on Amazon real quick. There's a whole slew of them at varying prices. I've gotten the cheaper component and AV splitters for my retro set up and had good luck (but connecting 20/30 year old consoles is a lot different than modern consoles lol). But for what you're needs are, I'd...

Moving this to the PS5 section.

I'm in NJ. We have restrictions but aren't in lock down yet. Otherwise, we are at or maybe even higher at this point than we were in April when we peaked. I'm half expecting another lock down. And I lost my job because of all this. Not very motivating trying to find a job only to possibly lose...

Absolutely. You're right. It would just be software. I mean, remember the PS3 was a hell of a console back then. They even had software people downloaded so when they weren't gaming, they were using peoples PS3s (with their permission of course) to use the processing power of Cell for genetic...

That isn't surprising. As a hobby and to make extra money for my game collecting, I buy and sell older consoles. I see those inflated shipping fees on eBay all the time. I'd see listings for like 3 PS2s that are selling for like 20 bucks but with 80 dollar shipping/handling fees. That should...

It doesn't make sense. I guess their thinking is it's niche so they focused more on what the masses were using, which is HD and 4K. From what I understand, the OS is missing a lot of stuff at launch. Sounds like they prioritized things over others to keep it stable at launch. I'm sure 1440p is...

I haven't heard anything about that so I'm gonna say probably not. I mean, something like you describe is so niche, most people didn't take advantage of it with the PS3. I tried it one time and was like "that's cool" and never did it again lol. The PS3 was designed as a multimedia center back in...
