Not to mention you need to pay to use the internet that you’re already paying for. Fuck Microsoft for starting that trend.

I understamd the simple joys of conaole gaming. Spending a day building a pc vs 3 cables on a console. But (in AUD) $1200 for the PS5 Pro vs $800 for a capable PC i built with my students???

You reallydont need ps5 pro for antyhing. Ps4 pro was a scam and so is ps5 pro. Normal ps5 is more than capable enough

I came to PS4 late (was PC gamer for years prior and hadn’t had a console since PS2), and I got it for I think 399? Maybe 299? It was definitely not a rip off and I played the shit out of it. I enjoyed it, and the PS exclusives enough, that I got a PS5.

How are you spending a day building a new PC though? :( I’m always done in 30mins - 1 hour max :(

For me, it’s a several hour process. I enjoy the cable management, for one thing. I like to handle each component as carefully as if I’m assembling a nuclear bomb. Idk, it’s a fun therapeutic process that I like to take my time with.
Well, except for the last one I built. Which is basically just crammed in however I could get stuff to fit. Had to bust out the angle grinder for the graphics card to make it in. Had to relocate the hard drive cage. Cable management is just enough so they aren’t rubbing on any fans. I have rubber shims wedged under the Blu-ray drive to prevent rattling in the stupid tool free drive bay. It’s a disaster in there. But it usually doesn’t get over 70C in game, so I’m not going to mess with it.

So not an Intel build then?
I’m just salty as fuck that my last build randomly temp spikes for no goddamn reason that I can discern (and I just so happen to have one of the newer chips folks are complaining about).

Maybe it’s time you got into SFF PCs. Or maybe it’s best you don’t.

Already looked into it, and see no reason for it. I don’t particularly care a few liters more size of my PC, my home can handle it. Additional cost = not worth

Last time I spent like 4 hours just to swap a graphics card. Granted 3.5 of those hours was me accidentally snapping off the shitty plastic spring things that were holding the heat sink that was right next to the graphics card on and then having to dig through all my spare screws and parts and shit to fashion a replacement means of holding that heat sink back on and then removing the motherboard to actually install them and reinstalling that. That was a fun sunday evening.
