  Just consoles! You can still prowl ebay for computer parts and build something basically just as good for like 200 bucks.

    As good as PS5 for $200? Yeah, no.

      To be clear, I’m not saying “as powerful” when I say “as good.” A cheap old gaming PC can already play about 90% of games ever released, so why would I care about the AAA games from the last 5 years that demand newer hardware for no real reason? Terraria, Skyrim, Fallout 4, Minecraft, Cuphead, saints row 3, etc. All have cheap as hell minimum requirements and look great.

    I thought most equivelant gpus to the ps5 start around $200 on their own.

        Given that baltoro, monster train, and now silk song have been my most played games recently, you might be on to something.

      You may be able to get a used 3070 for around $200. That doesn’t include the rest of the computer though.
