Got bored.

don't iphones cost more than that nowadays? i still don't even know what they do that my $50 phone doesn't.. a clearer camera i think.

Latest and greatest iPhones are generally over $2000 in Australia.

$1600 for the bundle, about $1200 for the console.

For comparison, EB Games usual price for a PS5 Slim With Disc, is $800. Same price for the Xbox Series X.

$1600 isn't going to get you a good gaming PC in Australia. Not one that can run the latest games at 4K, 60 FPS or better on high settings. A NVIDIA 4080 Super graphics card alone costs more than that.

It's definitely something to consider if you're a broke-ass nigger who can't afford a good gaming pc. Assuming you don't already own a normal PS5 or Xbox Series X. I don't think it is worth the cost to upgrade.

Yes they are and the odds are they're not paying cash either so they'll probably rack up double costs.

People that still buy consoles are as dumb as people who still unironically vote Democrat

Retards are retards no matter where they're from.

You'll never go broke depending on the stupidity of people

[ - ] rabidR04CH 1 point 7 monthsSep 26, 2024 09:01:20 ago (+1/-0)

Yes, people are indeed that stupid. It was the same when the PS3 came out. People were paying more than double because they couldn't wait for the thing to simply restock.

[ - ] __47__ 1 point 7 monthsSep 26, 2024 10:27:28 ago (+1/-0)

Only reason I have a console is because where I used to work I got an incredible discount. I'd never pay full retail for one and mine hasn't been turned on since March I think.

[ - ] PotatoWhisperer2 1 point 7 monthsSep 26, 2024 11:49:22 ago (+1/-0)

Yes.

In NYC, these are the same kinds of faggots who complain that the rent is too high and they'll never buy a house. As they saunter around the city having Sunday morning mimosas or maybe going for their weekly IMAX movie or monthly Live Nation $500 concert in their Christian Dior outfits and their $500 limited edition colorway Jordans.

You couldn’t pay me to own a faggot gayming machine.
Fucking losers.

That's @UncleDoug for you!

Fuck off paul, I haven’t had a console for about 15yrs.

The Switch is useful for playing with the kids. A round or two of Mario party after a walk to the park is a great way to spend some time.

What a buncha retards. PS5 Pro is the biggest disappointment since I don't remember when. No disc drive and no 4K at 60fps.

[ - ] dass 0 points 7 monthsSep 26, 2024 05:22:21 ago (+0/-0)

I'm not familar with ps5 . what you mean no disc drive ?. I thought you could use ps4 game discs in the console, or do mean play cd's and disc movies?.

[ - ] i_scream_trucks 1 point 7 monthsSep 26, 2024 06:16:19 ago (+1/-0)

Nope.

Think they tried that with the last one. First batch of them comes out with compatibility getting people excited, then they monetise digitising old titles and pay wall them, then 'update' with new hardware that awwww sorry no backwards compatibility any more because um... reasons.

Oh ok weird, my young niece round the corner has a ps5, it can play ps4 discs, maybe it hasnt been 'updated'. although she has had for 12-18months or more.

[ - ] HonkyMcNiggerSpic 1 point 7 monthsSep 26, 2024 18:08:42 ago (+1/-0)

That's a base PS5. The new PS5 Pro is digital only. No disc drive.

[ - ] dass 0 points 7 monthsSep 26, 2024 18:30:09 ago (+0/-0)

Ah gotcha ya. Cheeky duplicitous fckers.

Just build a PC with that much money. It can do so much more.

[ - ] NeverHappened 1 point 7 monthsSep 26, 2024 10:46:29 ago (+1/-0)

Could be a pretty nice PC for that much money.

[ - ] dosvydanya_freedomz [op] 1 point 7 monthsSep 26, 2024 11:38:38 ago (+1/-0)

agreed that was the point of my post. consoles are supposed to be cheaper not super expensive because it supposedly has ray tracing in it lol
