Sony Interactive Entertainment will increase prices for PlayStation Plus for new customers in select regions starting May 20, the company announced, citing “ongoing market conditions.”
If you’re paying the cheapest $11/m for 5 years, that’s $660. PS6 rumored 2028. 8 years since PS5 2020, $1056. Console itself $500+ since 2020. Expensive now but before the ram and storage shortage, it has been the case of PC gaming being the best value as long as you don’t care to hit the max settings in every game. Couch gaming, my PC is hooked up to my TV, Steam Big Picture auto starts and I use a bunch of 8bitdo gamepads
Money saved on computer game sales is insane too, especially with humble monthly. Even new games almost always have 10-20% discounts on GMG or Humble! I haven’t paid full price for a game in forever.
The PC I built in like 2018 for like $650 is still playing all the games I want. Last year I upgraded the video card to an RTX 2070S for $210.
I can stream to every room in the house, I have saved wag more in game prices than the entire console would have cost me. Let alone those subscription prices.
8bitdo website is atrocious. I have always used dualsense and say someont suggest an untimate from them but the site layout made it so would have needed to know what it looked like first. All the tiles were animated and didnt display a name.
