I see a lot of outrage about the price. But really, what’s the alternative? Inflation has been nuts and most things are up. GPU alone would cost more than the console, if you’re building a pc.
I will say though, no disc drive is a real shit move. Just a few years ago it was like, “here’s the price, and here’s the price if you don’t want a disk drive.” Now it’s the opposite and that part is definitely annoying.
The alternatives is getting a PS4 and playing 98% of the PS5 games at 70-90% of the visual quality and 100% of the gameplay, plus all the PS4 games the PS5 doesn’t have.
Or just get a switch. You should already have a PC you can cheaply upgrade.
all the PS4 games the PS5 doesn’t have.
Thankfully this list is small enough that you can just ignore it:
- Afro Samurai 2 Revenge of Kuma Volume One
- Just Deal With It!
- Robinson: The Journey
- We Sing
- Hitman Go: Definitive Edition
- Shadwen

Your comment is more a reflection on the choice of console rather than discussing the price. Pc upgrades are not always that cheap, either.
This. I never got a PS5 and it hasn’t impacted me at almost at all. Everything I’ve wanted to play has also come out of PS4 and plays just fine.
You’re not wrong. It’s far more powerful than any PC you can build for the same price. Everyone likes to complain on this platform, maybe more so than Reddit. Anything a company does to make money is down voted and called unreasonable.
I was doing just fine until FF7 Rebirth. Bastards got me.
Rebirth was amazing, can’t wait for the next one!
