To everything there is a season — of the many ideas in the Bible, this is one of the truer ones. This month, for some reason I cannot fathom, I have a hunch that it may not be the PlayStation 5’s season any longer. At least, for a little while.

If you happen to agree, you may be wondering: What should I do with my PS5 in this dark time in its life? Worry not! You have so many options for putting the most visually distinctive console on the market to good use while you are busy, perhaps playing video games on some other device.

Here are some ideas:

bookend
diffuser/incense holder
riser for party platters
cat warmer
objet d’art
dress-up doll
expensive night light
cheese board (digital PS5 only)
conversation starter (Example: “What do you think lives inside it?”)
very bad kiln
picnic blanket weight
murder weapon in live-read of an ’80s or ’90s thriller
still-life subject
weird bottle opener
gender reveal prop
gender conceal prop
tiny sled
large football
useless bridge
sushi platter
body armor
recreational drug surface
push-up weight
TikTok inspiration
canvas (acrylics)
canvas (graffiti)
friend
Hopefully that is enough to get you to consider the many possibilities that await you and your PS5 in this new phase of your lives together. Make sure you never part ways with it without first letting it know how much you cherished this season of friendship as you move on to the next.
