A Week Later…Is the PS5 Pro REALLY worth $700?

Video Leave a comment

Modern Vintage Gamer bought a Sony PlayStation PS5 Pro for $700 including an $80 disc drive add-on – so you don’t have to. It does exactly what its advertised to do. Enhance Visuals and Performance for PS5 games. The question is – is the PS5 Pro really worth the money? In today’s episode I give you my thoughts on the brand new PS5 Pro console. Impressive? Yes, worth it? Check out today’s video to learn more!
Here are the Top 5 PlayStation 5 games….cuz we need another list, right?

1. Elden Ring

Dark Souls’ Meaner, Open-World Cousin
Elden Ring is that friend who invites you on an “easy hike” but conveniently leaves out the fact that it’s uphill both ways, through poison swamps, while dragons throw lightning at you. It’s a game for those who enjoy the thrill of finally killing a boss after 273 tries, only to find an even scarier one waiting around the next corner. If you’re into pain and beautiful landscapes, it’s like paradise… with lots of death.

2. Spider-Man: Miles Morales

Slinging, Swinging, and Still Broke in New York
Ever wanted to live the life of a superhero? You know, save the city, wear a cool suit, and… scramble to pay your rent because even spider-powered heroes struggle with NYC prices. Miles Morales is here to show you how to look cool in the middle of a snowstorm while fighting crime and dealing with the personal issues only a teenage superhero could have. Just don’t ask him how he keeps his mask so clean.

3. Ratchet & Clank: Rift Apart

The Ultimate Pixar Movie You Get to Play
You’re a fuzzy space raccoon thing with a robot backpack, and your whole job is to travel through intergalactic portals like it’s nobody’s business. It’s colorful, it’s crazy, and there are more explosions than a Michael Bay movie. Plus, this time you get to play as Rivet, a female Lombax who’s got just as much sass and weaponry. Warning: You’ll have the urge to adopt a raccoon and name it “Ratchet” afterward.

4. Returnal

Groundhog Day Meets Alien Horror
In Returnal, you play as an astronaut who’s stuck in a “death-loop” on a creepy alien planet. Every time you die (which will happen a lot), you wake up again… just in time to make the same mistakes! It’s like reliving Monday mornings but with acid-spitting aliens and lots of guns. Perfect for players who love a challenge — and who don’t mind talking back to their screens.

5. Demon’s Souls

Because “Easy Mode” Was Never an Option
This is a “remake” of a notoriously difficult game from 2009, but with graphics so beautiful you almost forget you’re being crushed by yet another giant demon. Playing Demon’s Souls is basically signing up for self-punishment and somehow loving every second. The whole point? To prove you have the patience of a saint or, at the very least, the perseverance of a person who just really hates losing.

The original Sony PlayStation, launched in 1994, was like a magical box of pixie dust and rainbows for gamers around the world. Imagine a sleek, gray spaceship that landed straight from Planet Awesome, equipped with a controller that looked like it could double as a boomerang in a pinch. This legendary console was the life of the party, introducing us to CD-based gaming, which was like trading in your tricycle for a rocket-powered skateboard. It had more bits than you could shake a stick at—32 of them, to be exact—and boy, did those bits make a difference! The PlayStation brought characters like Crash Bandicoot and Spyro the Dragon into our living rooms, turning us all into couch-bound adventurers and heroes in our own right.

And let’s not forget the PlayStation’s greatest trick: the memory card. This little piece of wizardry was about the size of a pack of gum but could hold onto your precious game saves like a digital dragon guarding its hoard. You could swap them with friends, ensuring that your gaming legacy lived on in multiple households. The PlayStation also had the audacity to introduce us to the magical world of FMV (full-motion video), making us believe that our TVs were secret portals to another dimension. In short, the original Sony PlayStation was the gaming equivalent of discovering that your boring old lunchbox was actually a transformer with a built-in laser show.

Restoring Sony’s first VAIO laptop! (1998)

Video Leave a comment

Sony’s PCG-505 looks like a pretty typical late-90s laptop at first glance. But it actually had a big impact on the computer industry — you probably just didn’t realize it.

The Sony Vaio line of laptops, introduced by Sony Corporation in 1996, gained prominence for its sleek design, advanced technology, and premium build quality. Vaio, an acronym for “Video Audio Integrated Operation,” initially focused on multimedia capabilities, setting itself apart in the market. Over the years, Sony Vaio laptops became synonymous with cutting-edge innovation and a blend of form and function. The laptops featured vibrant displays, powerful processors, and high-quality audio, catering to users who sought a seamless multimedia experience. Sony Vaio laptops were particularly known for their distinctive design elements, such as the slim profile, metallic finishes, and backlit keyboards, contributing to their premium appeal.

Despite their initial success, Sony eventually sold its Vaio PC business in 2014 to a Japanese investment firm. The Vaio brand, however, continued to thrive under new ownership. The laptops retained their commitment to high-end performance and style, adapting to changing technological trends. The Sony Vaio line left a lasting legacy in the laptop industry, symbolizing a convergence of style and functionality, and paving the way for the premium laptop market to evolve.
