I'd like to upgrade to a PS5, since my PS4 Pro sounds like a struggling jet engine in crowded areas, but I haven't been able to find one for retail and I'm not paying scalper markups.

Good decision. Don't feed the scalpers.

Late reply but in reference to the ps5...I’m looking to buy my first console and I’m debating between ps5 and Nintendo switch. I seem to like more games on the switch but I also want to play the whole kingdom hearts series, some past FF games and FF16 so I’m not sure which console to buy first.

I suppose I could eventually get both but just wondering which one to invest in right now.

I don't regret buying both and would encourage others to do the same if they're able to but between the two of them I'd suggest getting the Nintendo Switch first and the PS5 later.

The Switch has the advantage of being able to, uh, switch between being entirely handheld and being connected to a TV screen and if it has more games that are appealing to you, then you'll get a lot of mileage out of it.

The PS5 does have some pretty impressive titles but it's notoriously difficult to get a hold of one in many places at the moment.

Imo as far as exclusives go the Switch just has a lot more variety.
If you don't like games that LARP really REALLY hard as movies then you're probably not going to like the PS5 exclusives.
Nintendo games are significantly more varied and also a break from the usual stuff you get from Western devs.

Edit: Also Sony can't ignore PC forever and they've begun porting games over.
Nintendo doesn't really do that.

Unless there is some game you're really burning to get right now on the PS5, I'd agree with what Theodric and Kolsykol said. The Switch has a more mature library and there is always the possibility of PS5 revisions with more SSD space, or at the least the possibility of buying it with an SSD on offer, so between the two it's the one I'd put off until later.

I don't trust a lot of remakes nowadays.

I wish it wasn't. lol They are gonna drop the ball so hard.

Unfortunately I agree with you. Most of the remakes are so bad compared to the original nowadays. The only improvements are VFX and resolution lol. Story and Character wise they seem to downgrade a lot instead of improving from the original

It is J. Michael Straczynski. He is the writer and producer of the original series. So i have trust that he knows what he is doing.
