Title: what do
Post by: Hiro on February 07, 2017, 03:02:34 PM

originally posted in chat thread but i think deserves its own thread:
So my girlfriend surprised me with a PS4 (along with physical copies of Story of Seasons, GTA V, and Harvest Moon: Back to Nature) the other day, only problem is they accidentally sent her one that was returned to them with a broken eject button, dirty, missing a power cable, and a disk stuck inside doodthing;
Amazon was no help whatsoever ("just return it") but the vendor gave us a $100 amazon gift card as an apology.
So now I'm not sure what to do; should I use that extra money to get a PS4 Pro instead? Get an older PS4 like I was supposed to get? Maybe a Slim? Get another game? That 20th Anniversary DualShock 4 I really want? Just save the money altogether, and maybe use some of it for a Switch?

It'd be worth it to wait for a Switch IMO. If you have a 4k TV, get the PS4 Pro, otherwise just get what you were gonna get and some extra games.

I plan on getting a Switch regardless when possible, but one big drawback is my TV doesn't have any HDMI, and my monitor has shitty built-in speakers and no audio output/passthrough
on the PS3 and Wii U I can do HDMI video out and analog out to my speakers, but since the PS4/Switch don't have any analog outputs, I'm not sure what do for the Switch. On the PS4 I just plus my aux cable into the headphone port on the controller which works fine enough. Maybe I could just get some sort of converter box/splitter though, that would be cheaper than a new monitor.
Also my monitor is 1920x1200 which I was hoping the PS4 Pro could take advantage of, but of course it would only do 1080.

so right now I'm leaning towards just getting a converter or a cheap receiver and using a part of it for the switch, and part of it to get gf a kitchenaid mixer
