I agree about the PC but he already has a gaming laptop. The console is more of a family option so he can play with the kids.

I wish I was more aware of which titles he actually wants to play. That would probably be helpful in making a decision...

I see. The gaming laptop can basically be an Xbox. He can plug that into your TV and play with the family that way using xbox or PS controllers. If he doesn't have it already, you can get him the PC version of the Xbox GamePass subscription. It's about 400+ games for $10 a month. The Xbox version of this (which he will likely get if you get him the xbox) is $15 a month.

Not trying to sway you one way or the other, just letting you know your options.

Really? I didn't even know that was a thing.

Damn. I really let myself go when I stopped gaming.

It's never too late to pick it back up. There are so many different options and affordable ways to play games now. The trick is finding what system (or combination of systems) works best for your situation.

For me, it's PC with game pass and PS5 with PS Plus hooked up to my TV. But the optimal setup will be different for everyone.
