We've just been given a telly, so I'm keen to buy a console for fucking around on, and playing some games with my wife. I've been looking at getting a cheap secondhand ps3 slim. Is this a stupid choice, anything else I should consider? I know the PS5 is coming out in Nov, but
we're likely to get a fair bit of use out of it before then so don't mind that prices will probably drop for ps4/3 after that.

Any reason I should consider an xbox 360/one? My nephew has an xbox and plays fortnight - if I got a ps3/4, would I be able to play with him, or would I need an xbox?

I think the best thing to do in this instance is to try to put together a list of games you want to play, and pick the console that has the most/best selection. (Personally I'd be looking at a Switch for some good local multiplayer gaming)

Fortnite looks to be cross-platform so PS4-XBox One play should be fine.

PS3 is significantly outdated now. I would recommend at least a current gen system.

An Xbox one S would be the cheapest overall cost with game pass but, as @mmccarthy said, it depends what games you want to play.

As @Soul says I'd say go down the xbox route with game pass, I wouldn't imagine you'd have to buy a game as the library on there is huge.

Forza is great fun and will certainly fill the racing game itch, I think they also have the more serious forza games on gamepass too.
