700 for the console, 80 for the Disc drive, and who knows what for the vertical stand on top of that. You are looking at probably 800 USD before any sales tax to get it all. Then you have to pay another 80-160 a year for a PS+ level, it just feels greedy.

The AI upscaling had best be top notch if they want these things to sell, because I’m not seeing a lot of reasons to upgrade from the base model here.

How many titles are even PS5 exclusive anymore? Better graphics doesn’t make a better game, especially at that ridiculous price point. It’s still likely to sell enough to encourage Sony to keep doing this because people are stupid and willing to pay.

Stupid fucks are still gonna buy it, if only as a status symbol
