Not the point. I have action figures to buy. Ones I DON'T already own.

Hey, my bad, I said it doesn't play PS3 games, but it is backwards compatible with PS4. Literally only like four PS4 games or something won't work.

That's okay, I was able to hash the rest out. Appreciate your input.

There's a remaster of like everything except Rockstar games. Like GTA 4 and RD1.

Also, I will say, my favorite feature about the PS5: I can bring my PS4 upstairs to my bedroom and leave my PS5 in the living room. While the wife is playing Red Dead 2 forever on her XBOX One, I can go upstairs and -- check this -- I can connect to my PS5 from my PS4 and play it using a PS4 controller.

it makes me feel like a Caveman telling stories of dinosaurs and humans living together when I talk to my grandkids about how consoles used to get cheaper over time instead of more expensive.

Hard to believe the PS5 has six years on it now. I'm still on PS4. Unless something strange happens it will probably be the last new game system I own.

The funny thing is that I still view the PS3 as the best video game system ever made - it was a full-on media machine. In so many ways it was the true "does everything and does it well' media center.

It was the first thing I've ever digitally "bought" movies on.
