I have a 360 I'd be willing to let go for pretty cheap.
Console, 2 controllers, some games (can't remember what I still have), and kinect.

Wasn't planning to pick up any new games, but I had some credit in my EB Games account, got them to price match another store and walked out with Prey for $50au. Pretty jazzed.
Supposed to be like System/Bioshock and was made by the Dishonored guys so it's gotta be right up my alley, going into it completely blind.
EDIT:
30 minutes in and this feels like the most Valve styled game since Portal 2.

Picked up Overwatch again, forgot how fun Mercy is to play.
Planning to buy an actual TV in the next few weeks so I won't have to use my PC Monitor to play PS4 games. Planning to play Prey when I have a nice juicy 40" in my room.

Yeah I'm starting to jump onboard the Prey hype train, I'd be keen to hear what you think of it.
I'm more than a little pissed I cant okay a demo on PC, though.
Doom is on sale on steam this weekend. Kinda want to get it but I've barely been involved in Fallout or Primal lately and i really want to clock one of those before starting anything else.

I've only put about an hour and a half into it and it's pretty neat. Though i'd be careful to plan out your skill build before you start spending all your skillpoints - it's like Deus Ex/System Shock in the regard where you can sort of make yourself useless by over speccing. But the game is pretty neat and has the classic Shadow Moses, Rapture and Spencer Mansion environment style where it's one big hub that loops into each other and gradually expands.
It's the sort of game that feels like it's a really great game at $40.

Just bought Prey! I hope it's good! I need something happy right now.

Breath of the Wild is GREAT. The gameplay is SMOOTH ... and the puzzles are fun ... I thought I was knocking out the shrines until I read there are over 100!!! I've put in probably 15 hours and feel like I've barely scratched the surface. I got it for the Wii U ..

I really want to pick up a Switch so I can play Breath of the Wild. I may have to pickup Prey until I can find a Switch though

Same. I've been avoiding BotW videos and stuff like the plague. Trying to go into that game totally cold has proven challenging.

BotW was awesome.
I had a few things spoiled left and right despite getting it on day 1 and I feel the OMG THIS IS AMAZERFUL feeling can't be spoiled. I wouldn't worry too much about it.

i don't really talk to humans about games much so i'm cool with buying a game a year or so after release so it's cheap as all the butts. like Doom 2016. just picked that up a couple weeks back, SO good.
except Borderlands. buy that shizz as soon as it drops.
case in point, what awesome booty games came out last year or so for PS4? i don't dig open world/sandbox games, more into shooters or platform'ish things. never play online. defo going to grab Hyper Light Drifter and Headlander soon.
anything else?

I'm surprised I've had nothing in Breath of the Wild spoiled for me

Was really surprised with Prey. For any of you guys who revere System Shock 2 as one of the greatest games of all time, you're pretty likely to enjoy it.

I played the first chunk of BotW on WiiU last week, and also watched my brother mess around trying to get 100% before the boss. It's really great. I died a LOT, which surprised me because I'm pretty good at Zelda games.
MGSV is £8 on PSN (or £12 with GZ) so I'm finally gonna play that.
