You could buy a pretty nice PC for $700

That’s why you build your own. It’s actually really easy to do.

Depending on how much you care about visuals, yeah.
A decent GPU will often be the price of an entire console. That said, even if you go with high-end hardware I found that eventually the cost will make up for itself for not having to pay for PSN to make use of and play on the internet. Or the fact that games are very often priced up to 50% more on the PS store than those on PC because there are no competing stores.

You absolutely will not get anything that runs even remotely decently with ray tracing on in any recent title.
For the fair comparison you’re only allowed to buy new, not used parts. So, for 700$ you won’t even be able to put together a decent system with a 3070 in it.
“Oh but i don’t care about ray tracing” – nice copium.

I got a cheaper AMD GPU specifically because I do not give a fuck about ray tracing.

“Performance”.
PS5 mostly runs connected to a 4k TV. I wanna see your steamdeck do that.

Is that a PS5 in your pocket or you’re just happy to see me?

Which could play MS and Sony games. I don’t think consoles make much sense nowadays.

And the best part is you don’t have to pay for online and you won’t need to rebuy your games each new console generation.
NOT_RICK@lemmy.world 2 months ago
First one I’ll grant you, but there was no rebuying from last gen to current gen for anything non-Nintendo.

If you pay for the discs, you can’t use the discs on future generations. Right? Ps4 can’t read ps3 or ps2 discs. Xbox one can read xbox and 360 discs, but they limit it to only a limited selection of games. So in general, you have to buy it once again on their online store, if its availble at all.

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
