Sure, I could move the PlayStation 5 into the office, giving it a chance at a new life… But why should I? Well, that’s what the rest of this article will be about. My wife now joins me in the expanded office, streaming Netflix on her laptop, while I either play games on my PC or Xbox Series X which is also in the office. At the moment it’s gathering dust (Though I do clean it with a compressed air gun I got off Amazon) and doing nothing at all. More recently, due to a move of house, the PlayStation 5 sits in the lounge room, connected to the biggest TV in the house… not being used at all. So the PlayStation 5, the reportedly “most powerful console” on the market, began to be used as a glorified streaming machine. My wife, a big lover of streaming media, began using my AUD$750 purchase to stream her Netflix movies and shows, followed by us using it to stream shows like The Mandalorian on Disney+. I was excited to get the console home, unbox it, and get playing right away with my copy of Spider-Man: Miles Morales… I did… Then I got to play some other games on the console, mostly review fodder like Resident Evil Village and the like, then it began to just sit there. I was one of those people who were lucky enough to have been able to both afford a PlayStation 5 at launch, and also get one on launch day. Well, almost 2 years later, many Sony fans are still waiting to get their hands on a PlayStation 5… But not me.
Thanks to the pandemic of the spicy cough-cough, precautions were put in place so people who were lucky enough to pre-order Sony’s powerful and not-so-shiny gaming machine could pick them up without the usual long lines and fanfare that used to come with gaming console launches (You can read more about my experiences with buying the PlayStation 5, along with the Xbox Series X here). The PlayStation 5 launched on the 12th of November 2020.
