$700, and the side by sides look barely different, from my perspective. The chat seemed to have the same opinion.

We use our PS5 daily to both play games and watch media. It's invaluable in our household. Using a PC for all that just seems to unnecessarily annoying, convoluted, and uncomfy. Sure, you could use a Bluetooth mouse and keyboard to use it off the sofa but the sheer simplicity of just using a controller to do anything is just awesome. Not even touching upon not needing to do maintenance to the PC, buying newer components once older ones get inevitably obsolete etc etc.

For me personally, the PS5 has been a hit since day one. And yea, its price was a little steep upfront, but it's been very much worth the money over the past four years. I don't get people who unapologetically bash consoles from a sense of superiority. I thought we were past this lol

People get real mad when I tell them it's cheaper because I can rent and resell games. Just yelling no way it's cheaper because you're spending $60/ yr for online. It's become an identity for them.

The best part of the PS5 is that you can buy and sell discs at much more reasonable prices.

But my feeling is that they will soon start shipping consoles without a disk drive. Maybe PS 6 will be the last one.

Big concern of mine. Was a huge concern when steam ruined it on PC 20 years ago. Game fly if you are in the states is worth it's weight in gold. I played at least $2000 worth of games last year for about $300.
