Playstation 5!

So I finally got my hands on a PlayStation 5, but how I did it was not very common (at least I don't think it was).  If you haven't been tracking how difficult it is to get a Playstation 5, it's been really challenging with the pandemic and bots buying them when they go in stock only to resell them for more than they MSRP.

I had to tried to use some websites to track when PS5 would go on sale, but I had no luck or perhaps the notification process wasn't working for me.  Regardless the reason, I basically gave up on trying to get one myself.

Enter my cousin! So recently, one of my cousins found my Twitch channel and started watching me.  He wanted to get into streaming himself, so he was super excited to know someone that was already into it and he says that my channel has been an inspiration for him.  Anyway, I told him that I haven't been able to get a PS5, so he offered to get one for me!  He had gotten one for himself and said he'd continue to use his tracking methods to try and get one for me.  And since he's my cousin and someone I could trust, I just gave him my home address and he was eventually able to order one for me from Walmart!

The PS5 is a massive system, so much larger than the PS4 or PS3.  The first game I loaded up was Final Fantasy VII Remake, since you get a free copy of the PS5 version if you own the PS4 version.  PS5 is also backwards compatible, but just with PS4 games.  I plan on playing FF7 Remake Intergrade and then venture into the Dark Souls and Demon Souls games.  Excited to own one of these highly in-demand consoles and thanks to my cousin for making it happen!
