My thoughts as well. There's always something better on the way. You want it, and you can afford it? Just buy it!

In my opinion PS5 has best exclusives, and arguably the best collection of one player narrative driven games. Xbox trumps in multiplayer games and gamepass is great value. But the xbox adds no real value, if you already have a gaming PC. For me at least.. Thats the reason I went the PS5 way. I do own a switch, but can't seem find anything to play on it that interests me. Again, highly subjective. Or maybe hook up a budget gaming pc to your tv? So my suggestion: 1. Ps5 2. Xbox Series S 3. Xbox Series X 4. Switch Wildcard: PC

Only the first PS3 20gb and 60gb models had backwards compatibility. So if you want to play PS2 games as well, check before buying. PS1 games can be played on all Ps3's. What should you get depends on what sort of games you like, really. Most Wii's can play Gamecube games, so there's that. PS3 and x360 are fairly modern consoles with a ton of cheap games. My first choise would be PS3 or X360. The xbox isn't known for its reliability (early ones), but if it has survived this long, you might be ok.

Ideally of course, you should have a PC, an Xbox and a PS5 . But if you're getting one next gen console, and you have a gaming PC already, I'd still argue that the PS5 is a better choice. My opinion only, so might seem weak. But I think there is a logic to my argument.

I've used Techtablets. https://www.youtube.com/c/Techtablets

I have a Switch too. Can't find a single game I enjoy playing on it PSP is brilliant. Vita? It's ok. Great emulation machine. Vita game selection was a bit crap...

I've played with both consoles, and PC's for long time. I'd say about 80%/20% in favour of the console at the moment (PS5 and before that, PS4 PRO). Graphic-wise I've never seen a huge difference between PC's and Consoles. If there is a noticeable difference during gameplay, I don't see it. Or care... I mainly play story driven games, so 120+ FPS and mouse/KB- controls isn't an issue. I enjoy both ways to play, but usually the couch and large screen wins. I've gone the PS5 route, because I can't see any reason to buy an xbox, if you have a gaming pc.

Cleaning the troublesome potentiometer with isopropyl alcohol has always worked for me. You can find tutorials how to do it online. It's not too difficult. I've never had to replace a potentiometer or any other parts on any of my ps4 controllers.

Well, low price comes at a cost . I've used a few Samsung tablets and never been dissapointed with them.

Yeah, for that use the Fire is a good and very cheap option.

I think with Fire tablets you're more or less stuck with what ever Amazon offers you. The Amazon's appstore is quite limited. There are workarounds, I think, but something to consider. The Fire OS is based on Android 9, so it is more outdated, even though Amazon updates it occationally. I'd go for the tab S6, which is, as far as I know, an excellent budget tablet. Even comes with a pen! Decent battery and a pretty good screen. I'm considering buying it myself...

Really depends on the budget. Pretty much all (at least brand name) tablets work well for reading and watching the occational video. Lenovo, Apple, Samsung, Amazon... Take your pick. Long battery life should not be a problem, if she can recharge it at home. One shift isn't that long if only using it for reading in airplane mode. I have an old 2014 samsung galaxy note, that I use as an ebook-reader and to watch some youtube. I don't charge that every day, or even every other day.

It is a bit fiddly, but following a youtube video how to take the controller apart, should be easy enough. There's only a few screws to take out. But if you're not comfortable, or used to, disassembling stuff like this it might be better for some one else to do it for you. Maybe watch and learn? Or maybe this is a project to start learning? After all, the controller doesn't really work now either .

I've had stick drift issues with my PS4 controllers. Cleaning the troublesome potentiometer with isopropyl alcohol has always worked for me. Just google words like "PS4 controller stick drift clean" you should find guides how to do it. It's not difficult.

PS3. Insane amount and variety of games. Cheap as well.
