console prices are ridiculous in general. the switch oled is still selling well at $350. so, the ps5 selling at $499 makes sense.  i kind of wish xbox did better this gen. maybe we'd see actually competition and the premium systems would be around $350-$399.

yuck. diablo

at $400, i'd bite (no higher, though). i barely use my current switch. zelda will be the only game i'll play this year on it.

This should be global. Social media should be 18+

That sucks. They were good devs.

That's almost half of people's share of rent. This is probably the worst economic time to annoice a console with that price tag.

A PC is more worthwhile in the long run (at least for me), because it has so much more usage beyond just gaming, movies and music. My gaming PC doubles as my workstation.

half of rent? where do you live? rent is like $2,500-$4,000 here.

that’s a hell of a deal. I remember when that model was nearly double in price. 

for a person heavily invested in the ps ecosystem, and wants to remain in that ecosystem, the pro is a fine choice.

for others, pc is the better choice.

also, in the long run, pc will be cheaper (free online, cloud storage, better game discounts, etc.)

xbox was sparing them of playing that janky ass starflop.

looks epic! too many great games to play.

I'm not glad, but I'm indifferent.  It used to make me sad when I'd go out shopping and see the retail space for gaming shrink and shrink year after year.. but these days I barely go to the electronics sections of any stores anymore lol.

 

I miss the days of nice big boxes and nice packaging in games.  You can only get that with limited or collector's editions of games these days and I wouldn't waste money on that either.  There's only a few game series these days thar I'd do that for.  Diablo being one of them.

eh, i'm so lazy. digital no clutter

collecting games

Good to see!  The game deserves to be successful.  This is more what I expected for retail as well considering the install base now vs then.. but physical is really dying in the UK.  Pro being only digital won't help physical either.

 

 

i'm glad physical is dying tbh.

The turmoil isn’t slowing down. Apparently, they are preparing for another negative quarter at Xbox

So it would have benn $700 + $80 + $160.

Math is not your strongest talent, right Fidel? 

Jesus Christ…lol. I can’t with you, Malatard.

They could and charge nearly $1000 for the most "powerful" console in the world. 

Not really. The ps5 cpu is comparable to an AMD Ryzen 7 5800X. They are $160 new, which means they are under $80 to make. Sony could have ditched the second tb and put that extra $100 towards a newer, faster CPU. 

Sony should have beefed up that cpu. Oh well.

Halfway through Chapter 4 and wondering when this game is suppose to get good. I'm not getting all the hype for this game, it's been pretty average so far.

Different strokes then. I have had a lot of fun with quite a few fights (others have been pretty easy). 

Yoooo yellow loong was a bitch  got him, though.

Little palate cleansers before I jump into the next major game. 
Tossing up between catching up on Stellar Blade or doing Wukong or Space Marines 2. 

wukong! broooooo...it's soooo good!

i bet the 5060 will outperform this system.

He isnt always there. You have to beat the previous loong bosses i think.

 

The stone fucking monkey. I had him down to like 3 hits. UGH. At least i know i got this one. Will take some more practice but i know its doable.

yeah, i beat the previous ones. i know what i did wrong. it's just funny, since i found almost everything else in 3.
