My Blue Ray just died and I am looking at replacing it with a game counsel. Looking for recommendations.

Please take in the following:

1. I'm old ... really fuck old ... I drank at the bar and played pong with Caesar (Julius not Augustus)

2. 4K Samsung TV 8000 Series

3. I like old people games not role player takes a thousand years to build your person.

Xbox One X is hands down the best console.

The 2020 (holiday) new one will be even better but no other console touches the One X and wont touch the next version of Xbox either. Unlike the rest Xbox One X has native 4k.

Depends on how your perceive 'best' and 'old people' games.

One X is the most powerful console.
Switch is the one to get if your kids are playing and you plan on using portable functionality.
PS4 has its Sony exclusive titles.


Now when you say you're an old man gamer, my recommendation might actually be just spend 1/4 of the price and get a PS3. Many Ps3 games can be gotten oline or at Gamestops for like $4 or $5 a piece and if you aren't into fantastic frame rates, competitive online play or the newest games then I'd go that route. I'm just not sure which PS3 models have the best Blu Ray players so I'd research that on your own.

He wants to replace the 4k blu ray with the console PS3 doesnt fit that bill, at least that is how i read it.

Yeah, I think you're right.

Its just kinda weird to casually enter the gaming market at this point. We're at the end of one gaming gen and the best bet imo is to wait for the next gaming gen.

The beauty with the 1X is it will still be good for a while and microsoft intends to keep the same OS going forward so backwards compatibility should be built in. makes perfect sense to me. They wont make the 1x obsolete they will make the S and the OG's obsolete. Not really sure what PS is planning if they intend to keep things compatible moving forward or not

If I was going cutting edge, I'd still wait. New generational leaps are always noticeable.

I think that is what I'm going to do ... in the interim I going to get a cheap blue ray player (I only have 1 4K) movie.

Oh it will be noticeable, like the 1x is to the OG but the 1x will still play the library that Scarlett will have i can almost guarantee it. The Scarlett is going to be more powerful but it will be most noticeable on 4k gaming they are not going to reinvent the OS or anything it will be the same as when they introduced the Scorpio (Xbox One X) the biggest innovations they seem to be bringing forward are more VR crap and xCloud gaming the rest is just hardware improvements over the 1x
