everything detoxing said plus a "playstation now" subscription. its playstation games from all the generations on demand. it's pretty baller. you'll probably see some retro stuff that you like too, Kurt

The johnson county library has tons of games. Check your library if they have games.

Yeah those are good. Also Spyro and Banjo-Kazooie

Or just buy one of the charging stands for like $10. I have one and it charges both of my controllers just fine. Haven’t had an issue with it since I bought it.

Right now there are a bunch of cheap ($2-$20) but quality PS2, PS3, and PS4 games on the PS store. If you hooked the unit up and d-loaded some games for it before wrapping it back up it would be a nice surprise within a surprise.

We have Jay's CD and Hobby here in Des Moines and they have crazy cheap games, controllers etc. They don't just have old games they have current ones as well. I've purchased a few games from there and haven't had any issues.

I'm sure that KC has a similar store (haven't lived in KC since 13, and can't remember).

Did anyone mention the whole Lego's series? Kids loved those games.

i get excited as an adult too! means new socks and underwear! lol

I still remember how excited I was when I got my Sega Genesis for Christmas.

Let us know what you end up doing...

Honestly for people this Christmas I would save your money for next year's new console launch unless you get one for cheap.

$199 PS4 on black Friday week, probablyclose to the same for Christmas week. A year in a young kids life is something you never get back, there aren't many and they go fast. Buy the damn thing.

Also Dark Souls 1, 2, and 3. That kid will be a man in no time! For real though all 4 of those games are amazing.

I'm definitely shopping around for a good headset. Think I found a good deal for a Logitech brand. Already picked up a second controller, got an actual Sony per Detoxings advice. Also, good heads up about the ps+ account, I had no idea. I know the whole reason he wants one of these things is to play online with his friends back home since they are moving out of town. He plays on his mom's xbox now, and I told him he's got no shot at the ps this year, but we got him one for 200 on black friday.

Thanks for all the help fellas. I'm gonna look into games later this week. I think fortnite is his main focus, but he loves the Lego movies, so I'm going to look into the Lego games and minecraft as well.

Get Resident Evil 2

Unbelievable remake.

Edit: just noticed it’s for a 10 year old. Don’t do that LMAO
