I was able to buy a ps5 from Sony Direct yesterday. Unfortunately there aren?t any games available yet that are grabbing my interest. I followed Matt Swider on Twitter for in stock alerts back in March. The PlayStation Direct purchase queue opened at 7 minutes and I got through. It was a lot of work to give an evil corporation my money...

the new XBox is appealing too, with the $15 a month game pass. I primarily just want to play the second Horizon game (PS5 exclusive) when it releases, I?m sure there will be others along the way.

My wife tried to buy me one for my birthday in March, not realizing it was basically impossible if you aren?t in the right online store at the exact moment they go on sale. It was a nice thought though.

I am curious if there is any value to my original PS4. It?s the original, not slim or pro. If it?s minimal I should probably just gift it to my nephew, if it?s got some value I?m considering selling it to offset the cost of the PS5.
