It's almost that time boys!

Share what you are getting - this year should be light on gaming side as far as unwrapping for me but I have asked for Xbox Gift Cards - want to take advantage of the end of the year sale for once.

I have my eyes on Arc Raiders...

Bought a few games during the Steam winter sale. I’ve really been enjoying Against the Storm the last few days.

I’ve needed a new chair for years now, but I keep being indecisive about which I want

Hopefully a new monitor after my knuckles struck my previous monitor a little too hard.

Looking forward to seeing this thing pop off tomorrow and Christmas Day. I am 39 years old and video games this time of year get me everytime.

Finally got a PS5. I guess I need to get some games now.


Anyone know if its possible to transfer data from PS4 to PS5 with one tv? It seems possible from the video I watched. Wondering if anyone else did it this way.

Heck yeah!!

I’m a Xbox guy but PS5 is a great console. Plus a console at Christmas is awesome. A lot of games are cross platform now - what do you like to play?

Merry Christmas!

Got a few Xbox Gift Cards so will be scouting out the Countdown Sale. I have my eye on ARC - anything else I should check out not on Game Pass?

Also got some new Air Pods so while not gaming - excited about that.

Hope you and your families are having the best time!

I've been wanting to get into this. Bought it on sale awhile back and it definitely looks promising!

That is awesome! I wouldn't mind getting one of these eventually. I believe there is a service you pay a low price yearly and get access to all the old school games.

Get any games with it?

I have had a Switch 1 for a few years and have built up a decent collection on that. That's the online subscription service you mention, and yes it is awesome! You can play old NES, SNES, N64,and Gameboy/GBC games with the subscription. The Switch 2 also gives you access to a few Gamecube games with it.

Edit - to actually answer your question, I haven't got anything new for it yet, but almost every game gets a performance boost on the 2, and there are free upgrades to enhanced versions for some of the bigger games like Breath of the Wild and Tears of the Kingdom. I'm sure I'll be buying something by sundown though!

Nice. I’ve been thinking about getting a Switch 2 - may have to eventually do that. Would love the old school stuff

What’s Mortal Kombat Legacy collection? Like all the old games or a remaster?
