$700, and the side by sides look barely different, from my perspective. The chat seemed to have the same opinion.

It did when the ps5 first came out. $500 for it was a steal back then. I wanted to build a PC at the time but due to the crazy GPU prices and low stock for other parts I decided it was best to wait. Got a ps5 instead (was also hard to get as well) and thought it was absolutely worth the price for the experience it offered. Just built the pc I wanted last fall shortly after prices started dropping. First time ever I made a good choice.

Yeah, after that time I really didn't think consoles would be as much as a midrange PC. And yet, here we are. Feels like Sony's back to late PS2 era levels of hubris now.

Even at the time it came out you could have built a pc with an RTX 3060 for that price, which would outperform the PS5 by a big margin and have a way bigger game library
