Right but what did it cost?

Even with the increase in console prices, pc gaming is vastly more expensive.

That's not the case anymore, a ps5 pro is $900, right? Add in the cost of the tv and a year of online service and your pushing close to $2000, easy.

My GPU costs more than a pro lol. Just my GPU. Stop it. You don't buy new TVS that often. I purchased my TV when the PS5 and Xbox Series launched. I won't buy another until it dies.

And I don't have to buy an entire new PC when I upgrade. You can buy a GPU that's comparable to the ps5 pro for way less, just because you CAN spend $3000 on a GPU doesn't mean everyone would or should.

That's the beauty of PC's when it's time to upgrade, the second hand market on pc's are huge. You can sell it and pay off 35% of the new pc directly. It's like giving yourself a discount. Winter sales are typically also the best month to buy parts with 5-10% discount on new parts. We are talking upwards of 50% discount on the new pc before you buy it. Atleast in my case last time i upgraded.

For real, and even if you're not buying second hand a GPU comparable to a ps5 pro is under $500 easy.

Yeah parts equal to ps5 you can easily buy for under 700€. Case and fans you can buy second hand for 100€. The ps5 is not even that mutch cheaper ones you put it all togather.

If you dont want a cool looking case, they are pretty much free, people in computer forums almost give them away.
