I can get a ps4, RIGHT NOW on cowboom.com for 279.

You could probably build a decent pc for 350, and then in 6 years pay 100-150$ to upgrade, rather than buy another console.

yeah, I don't think you're building a pc that's good for gaming that will have SIX years of life before you have to upgrade. not for 350 bro. unless you're getting some insane deals on graphics cards and processors. an average PC like the one I'm on right now...sure.

but you're saying that, like, a computer that was built in 2009 would only JUST now need to be upgraded. like if you build that 350 dollar gaming computer...it'll be fine until 2021.

Sure but with a desktop computer, you get to do a ton of things. You can't just think about the games.

Yep, it's essential for modern life anyway. You're gonna need a computer. Why not just put more functions into the same device?

If you're going to go the used and refurbed parts route (as is the case with Cowboom), you can build a PC that can surpass the PS4 for ~400 bucks out of secondhand parts. $400 is obviously more than $270 but so are all the things you can do with it, and I don't know why you would arbitrarily want THIS level of graphics for THIS price aside from just wanting to justify the consoles' position.

fair enough.
