That's a big fucking increase, I was only paying 99 for Extra. I won't continue to do so, it's just not worth it anymore. Xbox and PSN increases are pushing me back out of gaming, and no, a PC is not the answer because if I had the 2k for a gaming PC, that would almost last a console generation, I wouldn't be complaining about PSN/XBL increases.

I paid ~$850 total for my rig, in 2018, and itโ€™s still going strong. Might not have RTX, but from what Iโ€™ve seen on my PS5, not only do games barely use RTX, very few of those that do use it in a way that makes a visual difference. The dudes constantly talking about being on the bleeding edge and upgrading with every new release post a lot, but itโ€™s like 12 fuckers circle jerking each other. Donโ€™t listen to those fools.

I built my pc about 3 months ago and paid the same. Amd 6700xt graphics card and ryzen 5 5600 X cpu, so it's not a slouch by any means. Hell I just compiled gentoo and installed baldurs gate 3 in an evening, that's pretty fuckin good. Sure, you pay around 1k for the PC. But you also get a computer that can be used for more than just gaming. I work on my computer and play games, plus the cost for upgrades will be much smaller compared to getting a whole new console. I'd say no matter what it's worth it to get into pc gaming or just using a PC in general.
