Consoles are becoming more like PCs. That's my thing.

Exactly, and if you have anxiety about it, someone like me, who I get paralyzed by choices, and you go back, and the thing is, sometimes it takes a few seconds to go to the menu, you can't put them side by side, right? Sometimes you can watch a video online or whatever, but it's hard to do a comparison, unless it's night and day obvious,

Sometimes I generally go towards performance because the higher frame rate always looks better. I feel like that difference is more noticeable than the fidelity difference.

Why are we still making the trade-off? Like you said, it's 2024.

Let me tell you something. I've had a terrible year. Like, really bad. Just all over the place. Just a mess. And I've discovered that one of the ways that I'm dealing with it at the end of the year is with a lot of retail therapy. I'm just buying a lot of shit that I don't really need. That's valid. Yeah. You gotta do what you gotta do. Honestly, I barely play my PS5.

When there's a PlayStation exclusive, Spider-Man, Last of Us, Uncharted, God of War, Ratchet and Clank, the list goes on. Of course, I'll play on PlayStation, and I'm happy to do it.

I personally think, weirdly, that PlayStation, even though they're very similar technically, maybe it's something to do with the artistry or the type of game or whatever, I generally think PlayStation games look a bit better than Xbox games.

Like the quadruple A stuff. So my wife was playing Horizon Forbidden West recently, and I was watching it. I talked about it on the show before, going like, man, that looks fucking really good. Would the Xbox version look as good as that? I don't know. I just know that that looks phenomenal.

And also the... Series X. I've said this before. You couldn't have made Last of Us Part II at the beginning of the generation, right? It came at the end. Yeah. Because...

developers generally you know after like the six seven eight years of a console generation have learned so much about the consoles architecture that they can now squeeze so much more out of it you know they've learned all the little weird tricks that they didn't necessarily know on day one yeah right so the games generally tend to look better as the console ages which is strange but that's that's how it that's how it goes um i didn't need a place i mean what have i bought recently that i didn't fucking need i hear the one to play if you haven't played final fantasy 7 rebirth i think that's the one to check out on ps5 pro

Yeah, but I have to play the first one first, because I haven't played the first one. Oh, you haven't played the first one? No, I've got to get to it. Maybe the Pro is finally the reason to do it. Well, I bought it saying, well, I can offset it by selling my old one. I could probably get a good price on my old one. It's a fat model, but it has a disk drive, and it also has a 2TB upgrade in there.
