I bought mine (slim with disc drive) used from Gaystop almost 2 years ago. No issues with it. I came off *I knock on wood*
This is the way. Got the same at a great price from some kid switching to pc because of (surprise) lack of games and the inability to play with his friends. 0 issues and I didn't give a dime to Sony. I also buy my games second hand because I'd rather give someone some money back than spend 70 bucks on a possible turd.

If the PS5 is $900, why would anyone stay on console when they could buy a gaming PC instead? The whole appeal of consoles over PCs was that they were cheaper. But I'm pretty sure $900 can get you a gaming laptop, that you can do way more things with. You still can't even use mods on console games.
 
The issue with that is that it's assuming GTA 6 does so well that it's worth spending $900+ on a console.
i bought a used ps3 for 100 bucks to play gta5 and the only reason i did that because the usb stick hdd didnt work on my diskless xbox. they are fucking retarded if they think people will buy a new ps5 just to play gta 6. now why the fuck did i buy the ps4 thats a good question.

I also picked up a PS3 a year ago. You can jailbreak it and turn it into a great couch console for playing old classics. Games keep getting shittier so it's great to be able to play games from an era where there wasn't rampant microtransactions everywhere and ugly fat black transwxmxn characters.

Never have purchased a PS4 or PS5. The PS3 was Sony's last good console.
 
Conspiracy theory time, the price increase is less about squeezing even more blood from a stone, and more about making sure ps5 isn't a much cheaper alternative to the ps6 once it releases, given games will release on the ps5 for even longer than they released on the ps4, and the difference in power between a ps5 and ps6 will be less than that of a ps4 to ps5 (though, admittedly, if the cpu for the ps6 isn't as shitass as the ps5's, that could be a sizeable jump in power in terms of actual use without being a significant leap in on paper specs).
 
who the fuck care about this shit. those gooks should make a fucking console without a dogshit ethernet-wifi card for once
Gooks are better than jeets. Is there an Xbox hate thread? I wonder how long till the jeets get their cow shit-infested hands on the next Xbox. Windows 11 is garbage so it's only a matter of time till the next Xbox is just as shitty. Anyone still buying consoles is retarded and probably black though.

But now Sony is going to charge $600, $650, and $900 for a fucking ps5 all while having no games for it. And while those were black friday sales, Sony wasn't any better last year only cutting the shit to $400/$450/$649. This console generation is garbage and Microsoft isn't doing much better. The switch 2? By the time you get a real controller, a 1TB memory card, and dock, that's expensive too($760 with 512GB, $860 for 1TB). Sony should have spent the past half decade cutting cost on the system, not driving it up with excuses about RAM.

This is why you should buy old consoles from garage sales and Facebook Marketplace. I remember watching a video of someone opening up a "refurbished" Gamestop console which was clearly not refurbished at all. You are getting scammed if you buy an old console from a retailer. No old used console should be worth more than $100. MAYBE $150 max or $200 if it comes with lots of official controllers.

don't get me started on controllers costing $100 a piece!
That's incredibly Jewish. I didn't know they were that bad. I thought Nintendo's $80 controllers were expensive. $100 is ridiculous.

im between buying some chinese mobile retroarch machine or going for a gaming notebook altogether. there is no way in hell ill buy a console ever again.
protip: if you want a ps3 so you can cfw or hen it up act fast, they are getting more expensive by the month
I'd go with the gaming laptop personally. I didn't know PS3s were going up in price, so are 3DSes. PS3s going up in price sounds bittersweet because that means people are realizing that was the last good Sony console.

Are people still trying to claim the switch 2 doesn't come with a dock? You need a tv to plug the dock into, might as well include that in the price as well. And you've gotta buy a house to put your tv in, so when all's said and done, the switch 2 is actually a half a million dollars, so the $900 ps5 pro starts looking like a steal, doesn't it?
 
Modern gaming:
  • Console that costs the price of a PC
  • Controllers that are $100 each
  • No disk drive so you can't sell your games when you're done and you have to rebuy if your account gets banned for saying a No-No Word
  • New games are $70 (excluding Day 1 DLC)
  • Several microtransactions and DLC to be complete and playable
  • Every new game is Concord
  • Hardly any couch co-op games anymore and online playerbases are split when there isn't crossplay
  • Paid membership for online multiplayer and you can't say anything "too bigoted and mean" on game voice chat
I wonder why no one wants to play new triple-A games anymore?

Ok, fine. Don't need a dock, so it's still $635 or $735 then. Pardon me for not paying attention to which cable the thing comes with. Next you'll tell me a grown adult can comfortably use the bullshit joycons so there's no need for a real controller either? But guess what? That's still fucking expensive for a system that includes an unnecessary screen and battery for anyone who isn't a child with ADHD and needs to be able to pull their bing bing wahoo machine out of their backpack at a moment's notice.

The switch 2 is shit like the rest of them, go defend its honor elsewhere.

edit: I was curious and looked it up, the switch 2 does still perform shittier when not using a dock. Who the fuck wants to buy a console and not get the maximum performance from it? It's still $700+ or $800+.

>"I don't pay attention to the things I say, and blindly follow the words of a legitimate schizo and unironic pedophile from /v/ who started the 'rumor' about the switch 2 not coming with a dock before it got picked up by jeet engagementbait farms on xitter, but let me tell you why I should be the arbiter of what can and can't be discussed on the sony hate thread, and why if you don't want to change the topic to nintendo every 5 minutes to deflect from sony, you don't belong in the sony hate thread."

You left out playing at 720p without the dock, this isn't 2010. Or even better, could play at 1080p/30fps so the moment there's a hiccup in the game(and we know everything is optimized perfectly these days of course) it can dip into being a slideshow even easier.

But you're right, I didn't look it up. Doing so made me remember the situation was even dumber.

Alright, I’ll take the bait. Where did you get those numbers?

Switch 2: $450
“A real controller” (whatever that means): Comes with the system. Or assuming you’re autistic and don’t count the one it comes with for whatever reason, and you don’t already have a controller laying around since it’s already compatible with 99% of whatever a PC can use, $50 for a great third-party controller
1TB memory card: Switch 2 cards go up to 512GB and even that is massively overkill, I have plenty of games and the internal storage is enough. Or assuming you’re autistic and exclusively buy digital copies of AAA sports/EA games, $120
Dock: Comes with the system (just like it always has for the past 9 years)

That’s $620, or $450-$500 if you’re not autistic. Go back to /v/.
