If you have any ideas about games to play that are suitable for all ages, don't forget to bring those, too! We'll see you in Palm Desert!

PlayStation 5 Interview: Would You Buy It?

This interview was with Bryan about his PlayStation 5 to let you know whether you should or should not buy it.

Q: How do you feel about the PlayStation 5?
A: It's a lot of fun.

Q: Anything you'd like to say about it?
A: It's a lot better than I remember it being. I had a PlayStation 3. And it's a lot better than that.

Q: What's your favorite game to play on it?
A: Well, I have only played a few games. I played this Assassin's Creed game, which I'm playing right now. I'm a warrior in Japan. Then I played a game called Overcooked with my daughters. They seemed to like that.

Q: Anything else you'd like to say?
A: Not off the top of my head.

Q: Would you recommend it for other people?
A: Yes, I would definitely recommend it, although it will probably take up a lot of time. You'll probably stop doing other things. Like bathing and eating. Probably stop reading and exercising and just play video games all day.

Q: Okay. Thanks for the interview!

It looks like our interviewee is saying you should definitely buy it!
