    I understamd the simple joys of conaole gaming. Spending a day building a pc vs 3 cables on a console. But (in AUD) $1200 for the PS5 Pro vs $800 for a capable PC i built with my students???

      Not to mention you need to pay to use the internet that you’re already paying for. Fuck Microsoft for starting that trend.

        How are you spending a day building a new PC though? :( I’m always done in 30mins - 1 hour max :(

            Already looked into it, and see no reason for it. I don’t particularly care a few liters more size of my PC, my home can handle it. Additional cost = not worth

        I came to PS4 late (was PC gamer for years prior and hadn’t had a console since PS2), and I got it for I think 399? Maybe 299? It was definitely not a rip off and I played the shit out of it. I enjoyed it, and the PS exclusives enough, that I got a PS5.
