I am planning to buy this PS5 from croma store. It says HDD Capacity as No HDD. I have watched multiple youtube videos and saw that we can add an external SSD. This website does not mention anything related to SSD so thought of asking it here.

Also, I hope this SSD will support the heatsink with above PS5?

Hi folks, I am a working professional and don't get time to play games that often, mostly on weekends, and sometimes during the week.

I am looking to buy ROG Ally but unsure if it's worth it. Currently, my setup is PS5+XSS. I rarely use my series S and PS is mostly used for whatever the latest game is out there which grabbed my attention

Use case: To get to spend more time playing games, away from my desk, PC games and backlog(I have always been a PC gamer, but recently switched to consoles). I really want to play games from 2010-2015 and I think rog ally can handle them just fine
Would love to hear from fellow gamers in a similar situation and Ally owners

TLDR: Need inputs on buying ROG ally, don't get much time and want to finish PC backlog

Nothing over the top, just a strong ass PC built, which can handle some casual gaming (High res), and a few DAWs (if it's helps you decide).

Gots Psychonauts 1-2 and POP lost crown.

Psychonauts has been on my to play list for a good while and saw it for a good price so copped it.

Lost crown I have heard was like the last good bastion holding any goodwill Ubisoft had left (except , they shut the studio responsible for the game down, man are they fucking daft) and being a fan of the old trilogy I am looking forward to it.

There are 2 other games that I ordered physical copies of : Silent Hill 2 & Unicorn overlord , so pretty much sorted for the next 2-3 months

Its a discord quest giveaway, you basically watch an ad for a few mins and its yours. Have fun! (IDK if its available anymore, but do keep checking in here time to time maybe you might find something)

Looking for an affordable usb c to display port cable that can support high bandwidth that can suffice for 4k 144hz or at least 2k 165hz (vesa certified is a plus) and I am not able to find any trusted one. Any trusted USA brands are selling for like 5k-8k here in india which are at about 20 bucks there.

My girlfriend will be visiting America in January and I'm trying to think of what she can get for me from there. So far I've been considering either a PS portal, a PS disk drive or some kind of gaming related collectibles that are unavailable in India.

Budget is up to $200. Any suggestions?

Actually I saw some imported Transformers figures there, that's why I wanted to ask. They mostly seem to sell video games.

Saving the money for months to get a ps5 but I am confused whether to buy from Gameloot or brand new from Amazon. Ps5 digital edition is available for ₹27,999(Pre-owned)on Gameloot while on amazon it is ₹37000(New).Are Gameloot Consoles legit or do they come with some issues?

Hey guys, I just got my hands on liar's bar and I'm looking to create a group to play that. Anyone wants to join?

I want purchase gta iv for xbox 360. I own the series x. I want the physical disk not digital. Can someone tell where I can get I from

I am not into gaming at all, but these PC Setup are giving me excitement. I don't know why ? but then I see the price and I am like F@ck it why should I put so much when I don't game. Please help me make setup have a MacBook Air M2 and HP laptop i5 or just MacBook Air M2 with base. And I require an external drive if possible recommend and add it in the setup . Plus I saw many monitors but I don't know why when connect , I doesn't look good like my macbook.

1. What is the motivation for spending that much amount
2. Please recommend the setup

What are your thoughts on The Finals tournament that's currently happening? Honestly, I'm surprised the game is still being promoted in India. But when I looked at the teams, it was disappointing to see how blatantly obvious it is that the team leaders are just being paid to play. Most of them barely know the game—they just started playing it!

And their huge subscriber counts mean nothing if they can't even pull 1,000 views. Clearly, even their most loyal fans aren't interested in this. Meanwhile, there are plenty of skilled streamers who actually play and understand the game but aren't getting the recognition they deserve.

Oh, and let’s not even start on the prize pool—it’s almost like they ran out of budget for that. Pretty underwhelming overall.

I have seen multiple threads people recommending AC games, like dude the franchise has been having its own identity crisis since their syndicate. Even syndicate was soo repetetive in its mechanisms and open world element. AcC sure has it nostalgia effect on me too. My first ever AAA title would be thier black flag and i have player every title of AC since. But this unfazed fandom that AC still has in India is just unfathomable.

Use case:

Microsoft Flight simulator 2020/2024 with heavy addons like PMDG/Fenix/Sceneries on 3x 1440p monitor setup with at least 50 FPS on most scenarios.

Current PC spec:

5900x

32GB 3200mhz

3080 FE 10GB (I want to upgrade)

Corsair 750TX

2TB XPG Gen4 SSD (OS+Game)

I stumbled upon this today.

I just passed out and wanted to hop on the gaming train. Haven't played much since school days. Anything with good sales and availability works.

Open to all platforms and consoles :D

A simple guide for new Gamers who want to build a PC with a budget range of 10,000 - 100,000 INR.

### Understanding PC Components

I have created a simple playlist to help you understand each specific component and its role in gaming:

- [YouTube Playlist] (https://youtube.com/playlist?list=PLY7UnZ5zetStf0L85C3pry58pzPbSopwJ&feature=shared)

**Note:** This playlist contains mostly foreign YouTubers, but the concepts are similar ; it's just the price difference that varies.

### Budget Breakdown

#### What is Your Use Case for a PC?

First, decide why you want a PC:

• - [ ] Do you need it as an investment to make more money?
• - [ ] Do you want it to play games?
• - [ ] Are you a parent looking to gift it to someone, or do you need it for office/Creative work?
• - [ ] All of the above

#### If You Want a PC for Productivity Work (e.g., Video Editing, Office, Creativity)

I recommend considering a Mac Mini M4, which offers great price-to-performance at around 60,000 INR (50,000 with a student discount). If you factor in a monitor and other accessories, the total cost can reach 60,000 - 75,000 INR.

#### How to Determine Your Budget?

ask your parents ? maybe

**Note:** If your budget is less than 60,000 INR, I suggest saving up and pursuing this decision later.

**I am not saying that games are unplayable on PCs under 60,000 INR, but it may lead to an unpleasant experience in the future.**

Budget is a topic where I can't just provide specific components and let you buy them. PC part prices constantly change along with market conditions and your budget.

Remember this quote: "Give a man a fish, and you feed him for a day. Teach a man to fish, and you feed him for a lifetime."

You can check the above playlist that I have personally curated to help you get your PC right.

### Compatibility and Assembly

- **How to Check Component Compatibility?**

- Most parts are compatible unless you try to place an AM5 CPU in an LGA1700 socket. If you find this complicated, this video might help you.

- Check the above playlist; I have mentioned some related videos as well.

- **What Are the Steps to Assemble a PC?**

### Software and Setup

- **Operating System:**

• - **Mac OS**: You need to have an Apple device.
• - **Windows**: If you don't know about Windows, check this [Windows Overview Video](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Uh9643c2P6k&pp=ygUKd2luZG93cyAxMQ%3D%3D).
