I picked up a ps5 from the local shop because it was 100$ cheaper. I figured it would be wise to get it if I wanna keep socializing with my friends and before they get stripped for parts.

I got Dragon's Dogma 2 and the 2k25 tennis game (we had a tennis game for the SNES so it felt right) from the library and I guess Siege for free.

Dogma 2 is like Dogma 1 but more and prettier still weird in the same way.

2k25 tennis is playable if you're not connected to the Internet, there's training and free matches you can play no problem.

Yet to buy a game for it, been tons of fun. The free to play games are free too if you just don't buy anything.

Redsec is what I play when I do cardio, the gauntlet mode is good enough I'd say.

My little cousin was over and he said "the finals" was pretty good which is also free.

I'm putting my name on the list for the astro bot game with the library because the DS5 is genuinely neat and it seems like the only game with design dedicated to using it. Will be getting the couple of sports and GTA 6 because that's just how I do a lot of my hanging out. Will end up being cheaper then the drive and the flights 😅.

TLDR.

Always buy a console with a disk drive and check out your local library
