I'm not sure if you guys in the UK get APTV+ but here, if you register your PS5 with APTV+ they will give you six months for free. I think you have to download the app to the PS5 and register system that way.

Cheers, yeah we get the Apple streaming service. Already getting it through a phone purchase/promotion. 👍

Nice. You can stack it for additional savings. I'm good until December of this year doing that.

I bought a 40th Anniversary Ms Pac Man 1Up and I enjoy it so much I haven't modified it to play more games yet.
Ms Pac Man has always been a favorite of mine and this cabinet has Galaga too.



I don't know much about PS5 but it seems lovely.

I did buy a 40th Anniversary Ms Pac Man 1Up and I enjoy it so much I haven't modified it to play more games yet. It was on clearance and I tried for a week to leave it at the store.

That’s cool. Used to love PAC-Man!

The PS5 is great. The graphics are stunning to be honest. The haptic feedback on the controller works really well also. Spatial audio using headphones is good with multi directional sound effects and distinct background noise. It really does feel like a generational leap with 4K gaming.

The unit is HUGE but I love the style. White really works well in this case.

I thought he said he might be inactive for a while? I took it to mean several weeks but could be wrong.

Hope he is ok.

Years ago when our kids were much younger, a buddy of mine and I scored a couple of old arcade cabinets that were being chucked out of a Chuck E. Cheese like establishment. It was hosting one of the weekly kids parties that we would attend back then.

We loaded them up into his pickup truck, sourced out a couple of CRT monitors and then built our own MAME machines. My kids grew up playing all the classic quarter gobblers I played back in the 80's along with some obscure wacky Japanese titles.

On my last HT purge, the cabinet got moved into my furnace room where it has seen very little use since ....but make no mistake, I have plans for it in the grand foyer I am planning for my "retirement home" theater.

I was a pinball junkie in my formative years, spending hours in an arcade or pizza shop that had that certain machine I wanted to master. During my summers at college, I was fortunate enough to be at a coastal town in Maryland working and enjoying all the benefits of being at a beach. On my days off, I would go in to an arcade with $1 worth of quarters, play for an hour, and walk away leaving credits on the machine. To this day, the one thing I still think about picking up is one of those machines I was married to all those years ago. I even have the spot picked out in the basement, but damn they are expensive nowadays.

Ever since I was a young boy, I've played the silver ball.....
