    I am. I grew up with the PS1 and I really liked the simplicity, ease of use, affordability and reliability of older gens, but the newer ones seem to have all the cons of consoles and none of the benefits.

      I grew up with cartridges, so this is hilarious to me. With PS1, you had to put in a disc, close the lid, press the power button, wait for the logo startup sequence, then your game would start (assuming there’s not some kind of problem that kicks you back to the disc/memory card screen). Don’t even get me started on disc damage 😂

      Now I’m a PC gamer with a humongous digital collection. Nothing gets damaged, and I get to keep all my games.

      One double-click, and I’m gaming.

      Same here, although even earlier. As a family of five Sony’s horribly bad game sharing within the family if you have more than one PS5 (we do) has sealed the deal for us. I’ve just built up two Bazzite-based Steamboxes and that’s going to be our couchgaming from now on.

      No PS6.
