Hard to do on consoles lately

And it's difficult to build a pc with AI eating up the parts. Coincidence, or a planned move?

Hmm......

Yeah even if AI takes a downward trend (God I hope it does sometime) these huge companies still have multi-year contracts for parts, we're looking at easily 5-10 years before the PC market averages out again. And even then we all know prices won't drop

Get ready for 1K consoles and 3K entry level PCs everyone. The future is now

”Get ready”?

My local store already sells PS5 Pros at 949€… 😒

Tbf the pro is retailed at much higher than the base model. Imagine the base version, on release, ps5 digital going for 1K. That's a $400-500

Yeah,

According to my calculator’s conversion, 949 is 1080,74 USD. Interesting.

Same store does have a few earlier PS5s, I don’t recall their prices, I was only interested in Pro’s as I was hoping to get one for my birthday later this year…

Yeah my local Walmart has them for $1080, I think that's meant to be the retail price currently

So almost exactly same as the one in my photo. 🤣 Wow.

Yeah the pro is priced crazy

You can still find PS5 digital for $500-600 where I am, which is the comparison I'm attempting to draw

Ps6 pro $2K easy
