I’m in no rush to get the PS5, no launch titles really intrigue me, and NHL 21 isn’t even releasing on next gen consoles this year. The games I’m waiting for are Harry Potter, Planet Coaster & NHL 22

I never get a new console at launch. Launch titles are always whack (although Demon Souls remake is gonna be lit) and the price usually drops in about a year or 2. I waited about a year for Ps3, 2 years for Ps4, i'll probably do the same for PS5. I guess it depends when the new Monster Hunter and Final Fantasy games come out.

I usually mooch off of early adopting buddies/roommates anyway lol

I usually wait too for all the reasons you mentioned, plus it gives them a broader 'test' audience and some extra time to work out some of the kinks and bugs with the hardware and software. (I did break that rule and buy a launch Switch though)
 
Game Pass is the best deal in gaming.

Agreed. I just bought three 12 month Xbox Live keys for $32 each, then paid $14.99 to convert all 36 months to Gamepass Ultimate. If I hadn't already used a trial earlier this year it would have only been $1 to convert. Either way, three years of Gamepass for $111 is a pretty solid deal. Now I just need to decide whether to keep the Series X or Series S.

You can do a similar thing to EA Play, as that's joining Game Pass. Get 3 years of that and it'll convert to like 1 year of GPU, and it's like $30/year. You can get it for less via gray market. No where near as good of a deal as the XBL to GPU, but still better than $180/year that the $15/month MSRP is.
 
I've always been a Playstation person, going back to the PS1. Never owned an X-box or any other console.

I feel ya, man. I've been fortunate enough to own several different consoles throughout my life time. The experiences now a day are so deep and diverse that there's no shortage of games to play on any one console.

with all that said, PS1 may be my sleeper favorite console of all time. Playing Metal gear and Resident evil as a kid. Holy Moly. They were 'cinematic' experiences before I knew they could exist like that in a video game.

I loved the PS2 for the quantity of games it had. But the PS1 will always hold a special place in my heart. From Metal Gear Solid, Resident Evil series, Spyro the Dragon series, Crash Bandicoot, Final Fantasy, Silent Hill, Tony Hawk, Suikoden, etc.
 
Speaking of NHL 21, by gawd, why are the announcers so friggin' terrible?

Bring back Gary Thorne or at least Emrick.

It almost might make me decline to purchase the game. They are that bad.
