What was your last purchase? 2.0

With some birthday (cash) gifts coming in, got to buy Galaxy Buds 2. So far so good.

It’s quite small and barely visible, which makes it comfortable.

I heard it wouldn’t have voice detect and 360 audio, but the latter was available in menu and I also noticed a sound drop when someone started talking to me.

I bought a mythical unicorn! :unicorn:

It’s crazy how hard it still is to find these things. 2 YEARS after launch! I’m so grateful to have the time, money, and luck to get this today, I guess as a little birthday present to myself!

Didn’t get any special store bundle, I didn’t want it to get too expensive. Just the console and digital game one, since I knew today was its release, and therefore a guaranteed day stores got their PS5 shipments in.

(Starbucks may give me stress but it do give me money :relaxed:)

Honestly after two years it depends on where you live now. Ive been to more rural Walmarts recently here in Pennsylvania and saw PS5’s and Series X’s on shelf ready to be purchased compared to the Walmarts in more developed denser areas near me.

I know that it’s a case by case basis, but after two years I’ve finally been seeing them on Store Shelves. Regardless of that have fun and enjoy the haptic feedback!

Thanks!

It’s definitely exciting, and now I’ve got a bit more work to do, figure out the measurements and where I’m gonna fit this chonky beast in the media room. Plus, what games are next-gen upgradable, which are free, which cost money, etc.
Very interested to try the controller tech demo included in the console.

Wow same day, good job! :open_mouth:

Played it, it is very cute and they loaded it with a punch of references to the older Playstations. Good way to kill a few hours.

And the music is great too.

The lyrics aren’t quite there yet, but the beat to the GPU song is stuck in my head today.

Didn’t knew there are lyrics too :smiley:

When you get past the PS2 level and they play the old PS2 start-up music or how the PS3 level ends with the skybox being the default PS3 theme (even the default colour too). A lot of care went into a simple tech demo.

They’re pretty faint, but they’re there. You can also see a giant GPU on a mountain in the background of the level, and it mouths along with the lyrics the entire time! It’s pretty cute

Well, there goes a month of my salary, but I am ready for NFS: Unbound! :racing_car:

Also, unlike PS4, H3 no longer lags whenever 47 roams Mendoza’s garden foliage, which is nice.

Nice to see so many join the PS5 club lately. @YellowZR1 what do you think of the console cover? I must admit I am tempted to get one, in the same colour as yours actually, but not sure I can really justify it, especially when I’d probably have to put the default white one in a cupboard or something.

I am glad you asked and happy to join the club, yo! :sunglasses:

Well, I mentioned that I spent a month of my pay, so the blue cover was actually part of the bundle offered by the local game store I visited. There was only blue :blue_book: or pink :closed_book: ones left (with the blue one being literally the last one left in the store, so it wasn’t a tough choice for me). Besides that, what was also included was a copy of any PS4 game that I could get from the shelf, hence I did pay a bit more than MSRP.

What’s funny though is it’s actually been a month since I bought it, but I haven’t bothered to use the cover yet. I think I prefer the original white body of PS5. So the cover and its box remain on my shelf with other of my collection displays. :wink:

So these are a Chanukah gift for my bosses husband. He’s got about a thousand shirts and some shorts and a necktie and even a pair of socks. Now he’s got the drawers too.

Spent the exact amount of cash I wanted to taking advantage of some early Black Friday deals, plus some math to calculate what I want to get and what I can pull together in my budget.

Traded in Mario 3D/Bowser’s Fury for an impressive 50$ amount thanks to a random weekend Gamestop deal. (Literally the only thing I use their trade-in deals for). That, plus a few smaller bonuses to GT Sport and Splatoon 2 traded in, I managed to completely cover the cost of buying Splatoon 3!

I also picked up a small Playstation gift card that mostly covered the purchase of the Blood Money/Absolution bundle, plus NFS Hot Pursuit remastered! Very happy about that, finally.
