GTA6 is not a Playstation exclusive. You could buy a Xbox instead. It’s what I’m going to do, used, mostly because I already have an Elite controller. Hell, just buy a PS5 used, and resell it when GTA6 comes out on PC. Sony wouldn’t see a dime of yours.

I’ve been thinking that actually, but they’re overpriced now. But maybe a month or two after release, we’ll see

I’ve been checking near me and a used Series X is about the same as a PS5, especially if you want a disk edition PS5. The main thing giving me pause is the fact that I won’t be able to buy a disk and sell that along with the console. Ugh.

If I go that route it won’t be day one, which means some reviews will come in. This is looking like it may be near RDR2 levels, if it is and reviews confirm it, I could see then deciding to and buying a second copy on PC later.
I would only do that for rockstar and cdpr, honestly because both have made games previously that have been worth it. I get downvoted to hell, but honestly a game like rdr2 is worth $100, even twice over. It’s a masterpiece. Same with cyberpunk for me. If the reviews come in and people say it’s truly a masterpiece, I could be swayed. But that is a pretty high bar.

I don’t think any game should be $100. That said, I am in a position to spend more, and totally would on GTA6. I don’t think it should be $100, let alone more, as many people around the US and world are not in that position right now and with the money printing machine that is GTAO, not to mention the number of copies they’ll sell, they don’t need to charge that much.
