The alternatives is getting a PS4 and playing 98% of the PS5 games at 70-90% of the visual quality and 100% of the gameplay, plus all the PS4 games the PS5 doesn't have.

Or just get a switch. You should already have a PC you can cheaply upgrade.

I got a new Dual Shok 4 and SSD this year lol

all the PS4 games the PS5 doesn't have.

Thankfully this list is small enough that you can just ignore it:

  • Afro Samurai 2 Revenge of Kuma Volume One
  • Just Deal With It!
  • Robinson: The Journey
  • We Sing
  • Hitman Go: Definitive Edition
  • Shadwen

This. I never got a PS5 and it hasn’t impacted me at almost at all. Everything I’ve wanted to play has also come out of PS4 and plays just fine.

Your comment is more a reflection on the choice of console rather than discussing the price. Pc upgrades are not always that cheap, either.
