Working from home also enables browsing the webs for stuff to buy. I didn't buy a watch, but I did buy the new R2-D2 Lego. Then, I got a notification that the Playstation 5 was in stock at Gamestop. I was actually able to order one and have that incoming. I got it to play the Final Fantasy VII Remake and F1 2021. On that note, @Dub_Rubb, what's your set up?

I am an Xbox guy now, used to be a PS guy but switched early on when I found Forza, and they had MKII Vws and corrados. I am using a Fanatec CSL elite setup, that would also work for the PS5. I started with madcatz and then thrustmaster, moved on to Logitech and settled on Fanatec's base model. Their base model is crazy good with brushless motors and 1080° steering and should become cheaper once they release their direct drive later this year. There is also stupid levels of upgrading possible that can make watch buying seem cheap. From hydraulic pedals and handbrakes to direct drive wheelbase. I have found then not to be necessary for the casual gamer, but have found their base equipment to be leaps and bounds better than what I was used to.

I do also have an older Fanatec setup for the xbox360 complete with wheels, pedals, and 6spd shifter as well as a Seperate up/down shifter. It was compatible with xbox360, PS3, PS4 and PC. There is a good chance it's compatible with PS5 as well since Sony said the old stuff would work. If you want to give it a shot, you can have at it bud. I may be missing one or two cables, but those can easily be sourced. It's just sitting in storage unloved.

Dang, that's one hell of progression! I'm definitely a casual gamer and I don't see that changing with life, kids, work, etc. I'll take you up on the fanatec offer.

I've been an Xbox fanboi since the very first Xbox. When the 360 came out I completely modded the OG into a retro gaming machine. I wish I still had it.

I'm still on the hunt for a Series X or Series S, and I hope to get one before Forza Horizon 5 comes out. I love all the Forza series, but there is something about cruising around an open map, listening to some tunes (or just the engines) that I find really relaxing.

I wouldn't mind picking up a wheel/pedal setup either.
