Whoa 750$ bucks for a console with no games and no disc drive

Sound like a steal!

 

[Nebulon_Galaxy]

Cost as much as a Atari Jaguar at launch.

It's the 3DO all over again.

holy shit

I remember the days when console prices dropped every year and didn't increase.
They were good times my friends.

Yup. It's now the opposite. Day 1 is cheaper than buying later now. Crazy times.

Thanks to the USA and all these tariff threats to the world, everyone is upping prices.

Yep. No Genesis with slashed price and added packed-in titles for us now.

Jokes aside, it is ridiculous the state of the world. All of the companies rising prices instead of dropping them, what sort of sick joke is this? They should make online free if they're gonna charge this much for these things.

As long as people are willing to pay, there'll be no reason to decrease prices.

The system price increase that's been happening is just absolutely insane to witness, especially seeing that price for the PS5 Pro like my God. Just as jarring to see as the Switch 1 price increase that happened a bit ago, the state of gaming these days is something else I swear.

It doesn't even play Donkey Kong Country 2 so who cares?

The PS5 is nearly 5 years. For comparison's sake, the PS3 was getting a $350 price decrease AND a bigger HDD (60GB to 160GB) 5 years in:

It's totally insane honestly. The least interesting new roster of games yet and the most interesting level audacity I've seen so far haha.

The price going up in a generation is stupid. In every previous generation the price went down.

 

[Stookymalarkey]

Never thought I'd see the day where a console got more expensive further into its cycle to the point that I can't afford to get it 5 years in. Hell, I got my PS3 back in 2010, and that cost me just $300 CAD!

 

[Scotty]

$750 FOR THE PS5 PRO!?!?
ARE YOU NUTS!?!

Console generations... just feel bad now.

Funny, I was told all the time online that the console wars weren't real, but back when they were actually competing with each other we got better deals as a result and better games too. I'm just saying a new console war wouldn't be a bad idea.
