Some Stuff

My first modern console - my PS2

One of my very first consoles was a PS2 which I bought after being impressed by my brother's PS1. It didn't have the best graphics but it had simply the BEST and widest range of games available. They were original and the start of many franchises to come. Probably my most played games were GT3 and WipeOut Fusion and I have fond memories of others like Silent Hill 2. I unfortunately traded it in for a GameCube which simply didn't have the game selection I was used to so gravitated away from consoles for a while.

My old PS3

I started out in HD gaming with an 80Gb PS3 which I then upgraded to 500GB. My most played game has to be GT5 (and now GT6) and I have kept hold of it because the trade in value is now next to nothing, plus all my PSN games won't transfer across to the PS4.
My collection included:

My old PS4

So I'd been waiting for a few games to arrive and 2 appeared at once, meaning I had to go and buy one in the end. I decided to go for a special edition version & I'd reused some things such as my joystick and DD/DTS 5.1 headphones.

My new PS5

Well not only did they finally release GT7 but I finally got my hands on a PS5 after 2 years of trying. I also bought Tekken 7 which runs fine as a PS4 game on it. I, of course, still have access to my PS4 library including Wipeout and Doom so the lack of dedicated PS5 games isn't too much of an issue. I've again reused some things such as my DD/DTS 5.1 headphones and also upgraded the capacity by adding a WD850 NVME gen4 SSD along with a Sabrent heatsink cover.

That's it for now folks.
