I already have a steam deck. But, I am thinking of getting a PS5 for the games that can’t run on the deck or would be better played on a console. Is this a silly idea? Redundant? I would have a steam deck and a pS5.

I would need to get a tv/monitor to go with the console.

I’m not in a position to get a PC or build one, hence, the steam deck.

Get a PS 2. PS5 can't even play DVDs.

I watch DVDs on mine all the time, including Blu-ray and 4k Blu-ray.

Can you hook it up to your TV via coax?

[–] prole@beehaw.org 1 points 10 months ago (1 children)

I'm not sure... I don't think so? I use HDMI.

[–] FfaerieOxide@kbin.social 1 points 10 months ago (1 children)

I don’t think so?

Yet another reason to go with the PS2.

Why would anyone want a PS5 with coax? I don't understand... Are you using a 30 year old TV?

So I don't have to use a VCR as a passthrough.

Are you using a 30 year old TV?

I'm certainly not trowing out working tech that isn't capable of spying on me.
It's not like TVs spoil.

Yes it can? I just watched one the other night

Glad to hear optic drives aren't dead.

PS2 still has better games.

[–] Daxtron2@startrek.website 1 points 10 months ago (1 children)

PS2 has a lot of great games, but so does the PS5. I only wish it had backwards compatibility so I can play my hundreds of PS2 discs lol

This is a Steam Deck community, just emulate it all!

[–] Daxtron2@startrek.website 1 points 10 months ago

I do! I just also like to run it on original hardware as well.
