Well, what if you took that $596.83 (adjusted for inflation) for a PS5 in 2020 and built a PC back then instead? Now you could have 700$ to upgrade whatever you wanted inside it.
It was probably way more than ~$600 if you wanted to buy a PS5 back then, due to supply issues.
If you built a PC instead of buying a PS4/pro you could at least reuse the case, screen, mouse, & keyboard. Maybe even the power supply.
Full agree, and definitely power supply… a nice PSU lasts forever. I bought a plat 1000w PSU and gave my partner my 5yo Gold 650w and it still powers perfectly. I’ll have this PAU for a decade or more hahaha
