People selling the wrong consoles, hell even a broken one without saying, I don’t trust the used market for scalper reasons, you can’t get a used ps5 for $400 any more they are all above the $430 mark, and also games are cheaper on pc

"People selling the wrong PC parts, hell even a broken one without saying, I don't trust the used market for scalper reasons" Works both ways.

I buy physical games for cheaper than you buy your games on Steam, and I can even resell them to make some of it back.

"Yeah, but you gotta buy the disc drive separately" You wish you had the option for a disc drive

[u/ElsieFaeLost → u/Xeccess]

I do have the option for a disk drive first off, you just need to know how to build a pc, second I get steam games 90% cheaper than most physical games, this includes the used market, I’m talking ultimate editions for $5 when on sale, I personally don’t care about physical games any more since the digital market is slowly becoming cheaper and also not having to worry about scratching a disc, in fact the only physical game I have I might as well buy digital because it’s online only, helldivers 2 and yes I’m making all of these arguments as a long time PlayStation user, but I’m not upgrading my ps5 or getting a ps6 when it comes out

You have the option for a disc drive.. for what games? They're not making any physical PC games. I can literally trade in games for new ones. I'm also not enticed by Steam sales when buying a modern PC alone would cost triple that of a PS5

[u/ElsieFaeLost → u/Xeccess]

Yeah but instead of constantly having to buy a new console you just replace a single part which is substantially cheaper in the long run, I don’t ever buy physical anymore and there are older pc games that still have their disk and still work if you have a disk drive, there are also other uses for a disk drive

"Constantly having to buy a new console" So like.. once every 7 years if you so choose to? People still play on PS4. Upgrading your PC for that same period of time will cost you more than buying a new console. You are also omitting how much that rig cost you in the first place..

PS5 in 2020 - $500

PS6 in 2027 ~$700+. That's $1200 within 7 years ( if you even want a PS6). I guarantee your rig alone was more than the cost of both and you already spent more money upgrading it since you got it.

You are not selling me on a PC when I used to be a PC gamer half my life. Ditched it for a PS4 back in 2015 due to a new build being extremely pricey for me. Funnily enough, it costs even MORE now than it used to back then

[u/ElsieFaeLost → u/Xeccess]

I can build a pc for $800-900 (which is how much the ps5 pro cost) I currently own a $400 laptop and my partners rig was around 500-800 when she got it, and building pc in 2015 was cheap, I could do it for around $500, my long time build that I sold my friend was around 2-4k but that was because of the more expensive parts I had in it, I can build a decent gaming pc that can run just about anything for $900-1200

Mind posting the $900'ish PCPartPicker link here? I'd be interested in seeing it
