Title: 8 months later, I finally snagged an Xbox Series X.
Post by: Black Diamond Vol on July 02, 2021, 05:37:10 EDT
And right on time, as the new MS Flight Sim is coming to consoles this month.

Still looking for a PS5. Maybe I’ll get my hands on one by the time the PS6 comes out.  :frown:

I wonder if one could find them at a rent to own place like Aarons or Rent a Center. I think they will sell you items at retail price.

I've still got pong on my Magnavox Odyssey. Did this really keep us entertained? Geesh!

Electric football never lived up to the promise of its packaging. All the players just kinda ran around in circles. Then they added some kind of spring-loaded QB that was supposed to allow passes. That worked about as well as you would expect.

PS5s are still hard to get?  that's insane.  Glad I don't do console games anymore.   :naughty:

At 42, I think I've finally reached a point in my life where I've outgrown video games.  :laugh: I rarely turn on my Xbox One. The biggest reason is I just never have time. But, also, the costs are outrageous. And then I just can't seem to get too interested in the storylines of the games anymore. I waited forever for the sequels to Red Dead Redemption and The Last Of Us and didn't finish either. The last game I played that truly captivated me was Far Cry Primal.

Of course, once EA Sports releases its new college football game, I'll be waiting in line. And I'll magically find time to waste.  :biggrin:

Well, on 7/20 they’re announcing the “return of a long dormant sports franchise”. So stay tuned. :naughty:
