Goddammit! I really don't want to buy a PS4 Pro! :twisted:
Same. I’m trying to hold out for the next generation. Gonna be pissed if they aren’t backwards compatible though.

I am still holding out hope PS4 games will be backwards compatible on the PS5.

I'm really concerned about the rumors of streaming consoles for the next generation.

If that happens, I’ll probably just grab a cheap Xbox One X and be done with new games.

I am a Christmas present* away from buying a PS4 pro and a 4k television.

*I commissioned this guy to paint a picture of my wife from when she was showing horses back when she was younger. I don't know how much it's going to be yet and his wife said he won't know until he's done. So I am anticipating ~$200 but am prepared for up to $700. I've seen his stuff, he's really good.

There are so many old games I would like to play.

I like the back-light on my TV so much that I've now back-lit my computer monitors as well.

Bought a Roku Express for my bedroom TV since my PS3 is dying. Just got it all set up. Very basic, of course, but there are few things that bring me pleasure like hooking up new home theater equipment.

I saw a collection yesterday that probably rivals LV's. LV's looks bigger, but this guy's was pretty huge, with hundreds of Criterions being the main attraction. I've got to admit, it's pretty impressive in person. But I still think it's insane to own that much

To me, it’s a matter of knowing I can watch the movie I want to watch whenever I want to watch it, and in the best available quality. There’s really no other way to accomplish that besides collecting physical media.

Of course, I must admit I am also a sucker for fancy packaging and shit too.

I get that. To me, having to wait a day or a month to watch a specific thing is worth the tens of thousands of dollars you spend buying and storing those things.

Hey, LV, this guy works as a protectionist. Maybe that is your calling
