Thanks us3rn0tf0und01, that's not a bad idea, I suppose I've always thought a newer model would last longer , but tbh I could probably hand them a ps1 and they'd be happy . Well until their friends start getting the new ones anyway and they'd realise the difference. Lol

For sure! Like ckoden84 mentioned Xbox does have game pass that definitely helps with a wide array of games that are available for $15/mo.

I started gaming with an NES when the PS1 and N64 were big. So I totally get being happy just being able to play something.

But just another option to noodle. The newer gen could last longer for sure, but even with my Series X my buddies are still on the og vcr Xboxone so they are still getting life out of their systems.

You still get the backwards capabilities for the systems so even at that for the longevity piece the current gen may not be a bad way to go if you can find one in stock!

But happy gaming, definitely exciting for your kiddos.

Thank you

I don't think we'd go xbox because no one at all has one in their circle, parents seem to be ps 4 , 5 or Nintendo

I'm nit sure if they'll end up playing with people online , it might be nice though with friends , I'd want to limit playing with strangers though!
