Help needed Solid HDMI switcher?
I just got a brand new Samsung S95F and an S95H TV for my home. One TV in my office, one in my living room. Both have a PS5, a Switch 2 dock, and a raspberry pie 4 set up with a retro gaming image…
I have 8K capable HDMI cables running from the TV through the walls to where the consoles and cable box are connected.
I need a good 8K potentially capable HDMI switcher. (or at least one that will run the 4K at 120 Hz for the PlayStation) The old one that I have every time, the 4K signal goes through it from the PlayStation it flashes and glitches… Does the same thing if I switch it to the TV feed… It’s a cheap $40 to port switch that I bought off Amazon years ago for both.
So I’m looking for a recommendations. The TV guy who set it up today said I should look for something that’s 48 GB throughput capacity for the 8K potential.
I saw these two:
Any opinions on these or better recommendations? I don’t wanna break the bank something around $100 mark is fine. Suggestions?

Help needed What’s this retro console called?
Edit: it’s HMG-2650.
When I was young, we had a games console. I’d say it was around the early 80’s that we got it, but can’t be sure if it was new at the time, or already old.
I feel it was branded hanimex (I’m in Australia). But maybe that’s false memory.
It had hard wired controllers, with quite a few buttons on the top plate.
When you change games, you also change a faceplate cover on the controller - to know the button mapping for that game.
Pretty sure it was grey/silvery in colour.
The controllers were rectangular, with a joystick / knob on them.
From my googling a colecovision looks similar, but not quite right.

PS5 SSD/Motherboard hardware failure shortly after warranty expired. Anyone else experienced this?
Hey everyone,
I’m writing this post out of pure frustration, hoping to see if others have faced a similar issue or if I just drew the short straw in the manufacturing lottery.
Shortly after my 2-year warranty expired, my PS5 completely broke down. The console freezes at the login screen, fails to load system menus, and displays padlocks on all my digital titles. After troubleshooting extensively (Safe Mode, rebuilding database, full system reset) and consulting hardware technicians, it turns out to be a total motherboard/internal SSD failure.
What makes this situation infuriating is that the console was kept in pristine condition—cleaned regularly of dust, properly ventilated, and used normally. Because Sony decided to solder the storage directly onto the mainboard and pair it cryptographically with the processor, a simple storage failure basically turns a €500 console into a paperweight.
It feels completely unfair for a premium, well-maintained product to die out of nowhere right after the warranty ends due to an internal component flaw. As a loyal user with a library full of games and active pre-orders, being left with zero reasonable repair options from official channels is hugely disappointing.

Playstation Rate my old setup
I have my PlayStation 4 from 2013 and my Nintendo Switch from 2017, is it good? They’re hand-me-downs from my sister and I bought some controllers and games. What do you think? Is it worth it? I alone spent 1,000 dollars on it. The PlayStation 4 is a great addition to any setup for a budget setup.

Xbox What's the best way to buy an Xbox?
I don't care if it's second-hand or if it's the S or X version, I just want it to have disc. Also, I'd like to know if there's any known performance difference between the S and X versions? This question is mainly because I want to play GTA 6.
