If y'all wanna really play on a budget, you can net an Xbox 360 new for about $150 but you'd have to buy an HDD or a used one for $99 from Gamestop. Right there you have a massive library of games to play on the cheap amd you have Amazon Prime / Netflix all in one cheap box.

Switch in time could put itself there but being 3 months old there's only so many physical games for it to go around.


The Switch in time will be a very unique gaming experience to play a bunch of Nintendo IPs. But is also one you can take on the go which will increase its appeal to more.

That's the one I'm getting.

And as for PC gaming... I'm unwilling to invest in a desktop setup, by virtue that it wouldn't be portable. I'm a laptop man. No netbooks, no desktops... L-A-P-T-O-P!

Jmustang I know I have one and that is the appeal of it, portable with a TV dock.

REPO -- Same here, my last 3 computers have been laptops but the most recent is a high end one (i7+16GB ram+980 nvidia card with 8GB on that.) I can do better than console so far. Mind you getting what I got 2 1/2 years ago still would not be too terribly cheap unless picked up second hand I imagine.

Yeah, I was calling out this is what they shouldve done years ago on the podcast, so I think it is a good idea. We have one as well, but it is more so my wife's.
