Damn. It's like they're totally giving up on anyone buying a PS5 this generation.

In the past 20 years, there’s never been a better time to play PS2 games than now.

Makes me sad that I sold my PS2 & OG Halo Green XBox almost 20 years ago.

Definitely. If the big three console makers proved anything this "generation" it's that none of them deserve your business. I've owned every PS but PS5 is def. my last PS.

I wish a PC was better price-wise, but frick, RAM and GPU prices are stupid. I was looking to upgrade some parts, and just adding some RAM and a new GPU would almost be more expensive than my entire build was a few years ago. It almost made me consider a game-streaming service, but then I said screw that. That would only be reinforcing the "you'll own nothing and like it" attitude of corporations.

Yea, never give into this

Looking on the secondary market can yield pretty decent results as well.

And just like that, everyone comes to the realization that the next gen XBox price is going to be right in line with the next gen PS price.

A $1500 steam machine no longer sounds bad.

RAM prices are at $100-150 more for the consoles and that's the exact price hike. Makes sense.

Maybe those folks over at Microsoft weren't off that much with a $1200 Xbox that can run PC games.
