I have every console from the 2600 to the PS3Wii360 but stopped buying them when I realized they’re just low-powered, locked-down PCs now with HELLA EXPENSIVE after-purchase costs.

I wonder what costs more, five years of PS plus or just a modern GPU?

If you started playing games on a 2600, then 180fps don't fucking matter.

I’m not just talking about PS+, I’m talking about the exorbitant price of games as well.

Computer games go on sale insanely more often, for much lower prices. I’ve bought many games day-one for 15+% off from GMG and whatnot.

That and rebuying old games if you don’t keep your older consoles.
