Is a PS5 worth it?

That’s not a huge discount, I was thinking it might go to 400-450, but it’s your call. I have a PS5 and I never use it and completely regret getting it mostly because I’m committed to the Xbox and have thousands of dollars of games on my Microsoft account. For Playstation I only have a handful, Final Fantasy Spider Man and Last of Us.

I live in Sweden and we pay taxes so for the price it’s cheap. Not that cheap though.

We’ve had problems with scalpers and manufacturers running out of components.

Playstation doesn’t want to lower the prices for these reasons.

I think ps5 is about $100 cheaper in the US.

Why don’t you sell your PS5? You could get a good price for it.

Because I want a machine to play the exclusive Playstation games on… like FF7 or Street Fighter 5. I wouldn’t sell it until I got a PS6.

Sony raised the price on the PS5 overseas I remember, not here in USA, it’s still 499 I think for us… but overseas I remember it. I think it’s nuts that it’s cheaper here than there. It doesn’t work any better here.

Playstation was cheaper when it was released. Then the prices went up by $250-$300 because of high demand and lack of components. At one point scalpers were selling them for $1000 a unit.

Now it has settled a bit. Although it’s still expensive though.

I think PS5 slim edition is affordable being a new console. They will probably lower the prices after Christmas. But why wait now when it’s on a discount?

I’ll go to the pharmacy early morning. If the meds don’t cost too much I’ll book and pay for a ps5 online.

Some of the games on GameCube are now available on switch if you buy them online.

Orginal Xbox games should also be available online?! But don’t take my word for it. I was never a Xbox guy.

I regret selling my switch because there are some good titles coming out.

I have a ps5. If you like driving games you will like gran turismo 7.

Astro bot is really good as well.

Rachet and clank is good too.

If you like racing games the Xbox has forza and PlayStation has gran turismo.

I have a wheel setup for gran turismo, which is fantastic on ps5.

Forza is aimed for control pad and gran turismo is aimed for wheel, but gran turismo on controller pad is really good with the ps5s haptic feedback.

Rachet and clank seems awesome.

I haven’t played astro bot but it looks like so much fun.

Astro bot is brilliant, never got bored once through the whole play through. I finished the game and still have 33 bots to find. They’re adding more DLC with time trials and more bots to rescue. Some of the levels are hard but worth the challenge.

Rachet and clank is another good exclusive, it needs a sequel I think

I buy one just for Football manager, Assassin’s Creed Japan and GTA 6 when its released. Definitely worth it.

I was away from gaming for nearly 10 years

Can’t believe how expensive games are now

GTA6 is the only one I’d pay for outright

Everything else will be played from game pass
