    I like to play on consoles because I don't have to worry about computer specs, closing programs that are running, and so forth.

    That said, current console options are limited and pricey:
    • PS5: Pricey at CA$820 with disc drive, but sales often saw it closer to Switch 2 pricing. The PS5 is powerful, and more popular than the Xbox.
    • PS5 Pro: The best home console, but the priciest at CA$1,100. Add CA$100 for a disc drive! Sometimes, the Pro goes on sale.
    • Nintendo Switch: CA$280 for the Lite, and CA$490 for the OLED model. The latter sometimes goes on sale. Fun games, but low specs.
    • Nintendo Switch 2: It's rather pricey at CA$630, but some of the new games are worth it.
    • Xbox Series S: Low cost initially, CA$380, but pricey today at CA$450. It only supports digital games obtained online. The Switch 2 has similar specs.
    • Xbox Series X: Initially CA$650 for disc-based version. It's now CA$730. 2 TB version? CA$880!

    Consoles are still an excellent option to play a game easily. It's unfortunate that pricing isn't competitive these days.

    I enjoy both, but I always come back to PC. It's just where I feel most comfortable playing.

    Lately I've been spending a lot of time in Cyberpunk 2077. Night City is still one of my favorite open worlds to explore, and I keep trying different builds and side quests that I missed before. I'm also playing Baldur's Gate 3. I love how every playthrough can be completely different depending on the choices you make, and it's one of those games where I always end up discovering something new. When I want something more chaotic, I jump into Helldivers 2. It's a lot of fun with friends, especially when everything goes wrong in the most hilarious way.

    That said, I still have a soft spot for PlayStation. I really enjoy the console experience, but I also like having my laptop with me when I'm traveling or away from home. It's perfect for lighter games like Stardew Valley, Hades, Slay the Spire, or Dave the Diver. Being able to play pretty much anywhere is a huge plus. And when I've had enough of my usual games and have a stable internet connection, I'll sometimes browse sites like onlinecasinoincanada.com and try something different for a change. I don't spend hours there, but it's a nice change of pace when I'm looking for something quick and entertaining.

    PC gamer – sad that Sony has decided to stop bringing their first party games to PC in the future, but I don't ever see myself buying a new console (especially now that physical games are going to become obsolete).

    Which games are you playing on the NS2? I'm thinking of getting Donkey Kong Bonanza and Sonic Racing Crossworlds. I want to complete Mario Kart 8 Deluxe before I play World.
