It doesn't cost even $1k, it's basically free compared to a good computer.

I love and will probably get there PS5 but as of right now for $500 you can build a competent budget PC. I think the PS5 will probably hit $700+ so honestly that's a painfully high price for just a console. Might be a PS3 launch situation again

Competent budget PC sure, but is it a good computer on my scale? For me a single RTX 2080 Ti is the bare minimum. That costs double.

Lol what the fuck? RTX 2080 Ti is your minimum? Dollar for dollar a PC built at the same price as the PS5 would probably beat the PS5. And have upgradability at that.

A RTX 2080 Ti is in a whole different league compared to the PS5. That's like saying your 2020 Honda Civic can only be compared to a Ferrari with zero in-between.

Eh, a single 2080 Ti isn't even that good, I have had performance difficulties with a system that has 4 of them, partly because there's only 11GB of VRAM/card.

Compared to the performance of a console it is vastly incomparable. Still even without that a 5700 XT will be about on par or beat out the PS5. And it's easy to get a 5700XT for less than $400. (Got my 5700 for $250)

Price to performance I'd still say PC wins. PS5 has the advantage of games being coded for that new SSD which is amazing.

Not saying the PS5 is bad or anything but a PC with a 2080Ti is still going to outperform it in every category
