So apparently, the new PS5 model weighs 500g less than the launch model?
Just two^2 words: smaller heatsink, more heat.
Sony has increased the price and reduced the quality.
Xbox is becoming more of an attractive proposition right now.

I moved to a new house and completely revamped the game room compared to the previous one I posted last year! I've come a long way since I started this thread 5 years ago. It's been a fun journey. Met lots of people along the way.
I think this is my final setup. No energy to go beyond this. Gaming on a 120" screen with 5.1 speakers is really something else.
The room is closed with no windows. Proper man cave
More close up pics of everything in the following link (contains some old pics from before the projector was setup): https://imgur.com/a/UBZWZsu
Amazing setup. I really like the comfy sofa.
If I were you, I would also place a foot rest, and a small table for snacks.
I also suggest you replace the projector screen with a 70 inch UHD LED screen.The image quality of a projector does not do justice to modern 4k games.
Avoid QLED as users have reported burn-in (image retention) issues with long hours use.

Is anyone getting the CE-108255-1 error code on the PS5? Started getting this randomly on Hitman 3 since Monday, and now I can't play that game. Has anyone here been able to fix it somehow?
Sony engineers have stated that it is a hardware issue that stems from a software issue.
As per a Reddit user, it is a generic error in PS5 that happens whenever the system encounters a problem in communicating with the game.
Users have found many solutions depending on the issue such as disconnecting internet, installing a new language pack, disconnecting from multiple profiles, etc. Only in a small amount of cases it is caused due to a hardware glitch.
It is as if the system is saying I don't know what is the problem when a problem occurs.

A big shout out to Kumar123. He helped me in avoiding a costly mistake of buying Samsung A series phone about which there are mostly negative reviews mainly due to heat up issue and camera quality.
I have now decided to go for Samsung S21 FE. The product has generally positive reviews.

Although I don't have a good experience with most Chinese brands (QMobile, iTel), I have read a lot of positive reviews of Realme 9+ 5G. It has
5g, AMOLED screen, Image Stabilization, Sony high quality camera lens, better processor than Samsung, 3.5 jack, decent battery life, around 400 nits and above all no heatup issue. This looks like a decent budget phone.
The reviews are mostly positive on GSM Arena and Amazon. The only downside is that it has no SD card. But it is not an issue as it supports USB OTG and I mostly use USB. Also 128 GB is more than enough for me.

Thanks for the update.
The review sites gave it a high rating as if it's flawless.
But customer reviews on GSM Arena and Amazon are negative mostly due to the heat up issue, exynos 1280 5nm and no 3.5 mm jack. I can live with the latter two, but not with the heatup problem as it can cut down the battery and phone life.
I guess I will have to research further before buying. They don't make phones like they did in the past.
The market today is flooded by those darned Chinese garbage phones with low quality camera and bloated with ads.
I am into the Android ecosystem so I don't want to buy an iPhone.
I think I will hold off the purchase until Samsung releases a good phone. Again, thank you very much for the insight. It might have saved me a ton ??
I am never going to trust review sites ever. I think they are paid to make fraud reviews.
The customer reviews of this phone are plain awful. Here is one of the reviews.
Please I would not advise anybody to get A33 5G. The camera in a low light environment is not impressive. It's slow in performance, very slow I must say. It doesn't have a 3mm jack and you have to buy external charger and earpiece for this product. That's quite not welcoming for Samsung. Most online (IG, FB, Twitter Etc) and offline videos appear blurred and very dull that you won't have a fantastic view of them. Even Gaming with the phone isn't nice . I play COD and it doesn't work well with this Samsung A33.
Honestly I have been in regrets since I got this phone on 14/04/2022. My worst day ever. -

Low ratings on Amazon though. Apparently it heats up quickly or something.

Stock Android or Samsung's OS?
Android 12. It supports up to 4 years of OS updates and 5 years of security updates. A value for money indeed.
-
Thinking of buying Samsung A33 5G soon. The reviews are great particularly regarding 5nm Octa-core processor, low light snaps, 60fps video capture, 90hz
Oled screen and OIS. Value for money, imo.
Also, there will be free upgrades of Android for five years. This is a rarity.

Quite a lot of purchases over the last 2-3 months. Sold off my 3DS XLs (multiple), one of the PS Vita, and a Wii U that I owned since I realized I am not going to get time to play them. Then decided to put the money into buying more games and stuff for which I may not have enough time for.
I know it's paradoxical, but I've accepted that about myself 
1. PC upgrade
The first major upgrade is the PC. Sold my Gigabyte RTX 2070 Super, Antec EAG 650W and purchased the following:
- Corsair RM850 PSU
- Gigabyte RTX 3080 Gaming OC 12GB- Western Digital 850 1TB
- APC 2000VA UPSEdit: I also swapped out the cooler fan on my CM Hyper 212 with a Noctua NF-F12.
2. Nintendo Switch games & accessories
Then went on to make a ton of purchases for the Switch.
Physical Games:
- Metroid Dread
- Pokemon Arceus
- Animal Crossing- Luigi's Mansion 3
- Xenoblade Chronicles 2
- Super Mario 3D World + Bowser's Furty
- Kirby and the Forgotten Land
- Astral Chain
- Super Smash Bros. Ultimate
Digital Games:
- Witcher 3 with DLC- Hades
- Ni No Kuni - Wrath of the White Witch
- Hollow Knight
Also got the Spigen Armored case + Spigen Grip for the NSW OLED.
3. New TV and changes to the working space | Samsung QN90B 50
To do justice to the PC, finally got a dedicated setup for my personal PC. I use to have both my work and office PC on the same desk and I was unable to get over my mind block to relax in the same space / user the same desk and monitor.
Far from idea, but decided to get a Samsung QN90B 50 inch TV and mount it on the opposite wall. Moved the PS5 to the same space as well.
- Got a simple table mate kind / portal table on which I use a basic wireless Logitech Keyboard and Mouse for now. The eventual plan is to get a 60 keys wireless mechanical keyboard and a decent wireless mouse. I don't play a lot using KB + Mouse - so may skip this entirely.
I like your setup especially how you secured the cables of you TV. Gotta tidy up my 55 inch Samsung TV cables like this.
I bet all of this new stuff might have cost you about $5,500. INR 4 lacs.

You should give House MD and Elementary a go if you like Sherlock. Much better shows albeit not as stylish. Sherlock become pretty silly in the last season.
Thanks for the suggestions.
You are right the show got a bit insane in the end. But some of the middle episodes were quite entertaining. It brought a modern twist to the classical tale.
The show won BAFTAs Best Drama series award in 2011. I think that the acting by Freeman and Cumberbatch was first class; both the actors won Prime Time Emmy awards.
-
TV shows that I have watched every season include the Fresh Prince of Bell Air, Full House, Fuller House, Sherlock Holmes (Benedict and Freeman), and the Big Bang show.
Of them all, I rate X files as the best, next the Big Bang, and third Fresh Prince of Bell Air.
I don't watch US shows anymore as the quality has gone down a lot with mostly crappy stories and overacting.

Watching the creative work of the underappreciated TV show maestro Chris Carter. His work reflects his utter genius.
I have watched the X Files TV show till season 8 episode 3, and the Millennium series 1, and enjoyed every minute.
Between the X Files and Millennium, the X Files is obviously the better of the two. But the Millennium also has some exceptional episodes like the Well Worn Lock and the Wild and the Innocent.
My best pick from the X files include Ice, Beyond the Sea, the Drive, the Fathers, Syzygy, Schizogyny, Musings of the Cigarette Smoking Man, Piper Maru, Teso Dos Bichos, One Son, Dreamland 1 and Dreamlamd 2. Season 3 was the best of them all.
Unlike other TV shows, you never get bored with the X Files as every single episode was unique and entertaining to watch.
Next on my list of Chris Carter entertainment
include the Millennium remainig series 2 and 3, Lone Gunman show that aired for just one series, X Files remainig series 8 to 11, and the X Files games on PS1 and PS2.
I watch the shows twice a day during breakfast and dinner, and hopefully complete remaining episodes in about 2 to 3 months.
Most today's US TV shows apart from The Flash are boring, af.

I recently watched Top Gun Maverik. It was a satisfying watch and a welcome break from all the third grade Marvel and woke content that Disney is spewing these days.
I had also watched the original Top Gun on Netflix. But the sequel is much better with modern planes and gadgets. Cruise acting was also first class in the movie.

Hi,
I stumbled upon this great Desi gaming forum when searching for an active online community for gamers. (I don't like those western gaming forums as most members are very racist and rude).
I have been a gamer since my dad bought me an Atari 2600 in 1989. Over the years, I have owned a NES, Sega, PS, PS2, and PS3. I also play PC games on my old Dell Inspiron i3 laptop that my dad bought me in 2011.
I mostly play RPG and FPS action games like Half Life, Resident Evil, Skyrim, FF series, etc. I used to play 14+ hours a day in my younger days sometimes playing near dawn to complete the game.
Some of my pleasant memories include finishing games like Captain Robin (NES), Spiderman (NES), Aladin (Sega), Top Gear (Sega), Half Life (PC), Skyrim (PC), FFVII, IX, X, XII (PS1, PS2 and PC), Mario64 (PC emulator), RE series (PC, PS, PS2, PS3; favourite were RE4 and RE6), GTA Vice City and San Andreas (PS2).
I am currently playing Skyrim and Xfiles game on my PC and Max Payne 3 and Mortal Kombat game on my PS3.
I plan to upgrade my laptop next month. Also, I plan to upgrade my console to PS 5 when I've finished my existing libray of games - Unchartered, Batman, Assassin Creed, Max Payne 3, etc.
I hope to contribute to this community and interact with like minded young and venerated hard core gamers in this forum.
