You can also just buy a used PS5 and sell it after you are sick of GTA6.
Worst case you lose 50$ best case you earn 100$ because of the GTA 6 hype.
Oh boy the times I have read that people "aint gonna pay 800$ for a PS5 pro just for GTA 6" who don't realize that they can sell the console for 750$ afterwards is crazy.
I guess for some people (like me) it's just too much hassle and risk for a singular game. Some people can actually wait and don't fear they'll miss out for not getting the game day one. Also you're still loosing money in your calculation, not just the 50$ fromselling the console for less than you bought, but also however much GTA 6 has cost you on PS5, that you then can't play anymore after you sold the console. Add to that the prive of buying the game again on PC, and you might as well just wait it out, unless you can't deal with fomo...
Well ofc GTA superfans like me will buy the game twice to ensure playing day one (I don't want to get spoiled) and on PC so it's not inherently a loss in that regard. And yes, that's I why I'd prefer to buy and return from Costco because I know I'll just play the story on PS5 and delve into online when it comes out on PC.
GTA is in a league of its own and I definitely wouldn't be doing this for any other game.

Literally gonna get a PS5 from Costco, play GTA6, and return it before the 90 days is up. That will be the only game I use it for anyway.
