With the current prices of PCs it seems that PS5 is a better investment. But I looked at the prices of PS5 now and it is not available anywhere. The places that do sell them, they sell it at around $1300. Is the Pro really worth it at this point?

Poor Sony, I know they want to get rid of physical games, but they don't deserve this /s

Sony's decision to stop producing physical discs from 2028 has had gamers up in arms and brands trolling — and it's only getting messier.

I am running my PS5 on the same desk as my PC and I am still looking for a solution to the audio output. Currently I am using Bluetooth for the PS5. But my ideal solution are speakers that I use for both the PS5 and my PC that allow me to simply switch between inputs. Bluetooth audio sucks ass in terms of UX when you run multiple devices and I really want something more convenient. All the stuff I find on Amazon looks like shit, i.e. exactly what I have right now.

Is anyone here running a similar setup and has solved this issue?

Update: I found the Sound Blaster G8 and I must say that Sound Blaster still delivers. It supports two inputs, where both can be USB, which was my use case. One USB doubles as power supply, so you don't need another cable. And then both PS5 and PC just recognized the G8 and it worked immediately after plugging it in. Really cool. And because it has an optical out I could repurpose an old soundbar to replace the old active speakers. I am thrilled, this exceeds my expectations.

I just wanted to analyze some games and write a bit, hopefully providing some interest to anyone not knowing what to play right now, picking games you might already have access to. one game is longer, one is shorter. summary below with link to full text at the end

about Star wars Jedi survivor:

this has some flawed design and promotes flashy over precision in combat but if you like cinematic setpieces, good characters and exploring the star wars universe - this absolutely is for you. if the star wars label doesn’t spark any interest or you have trouble enjoying the ride for the flaws, this might be something to skip but you would know a few hours into it.

about doki doki litterature club:

this is a video game experience unlike anything out there (to my knowledge). it’s better the less you know and if content warnings about self harm or tags like “psychological horror” doesn’t deter you, i recommend it wholeheartedly. it is a visual novel, first one that kept me engaged throughout. that is, don’t expect riveting gameplay mechanics.
