Quote HistoryQuoted: Tag for news stories of fights and shootouts. But seriously, objectively this is the most botched console generation, maybe ever. You couldn't get them and there was nothing worth playing, and as long as this shortage has lasted, anybody could have saved up for a gaymin' PC at this point, so I don't want to hear anything about budgeting. It's been about a year. You could have saved money, or financed one interest free. |

I’d like to play Gran Turismo 7 on PS5. I also want it a lot less than most other people and I’m planning a PC build in the near future.
I’ll pick one up when they’re readily available in store without waiting in line for restocks. Or maybe when there’s a revision or price drop. |

Not gonna lie, the PC I built my wife DESTROYS a console in everyway but in ease of use/price combo for my use case.
I spend my days fixing IT related shit so not inclined to do any pc work unless its for my wife So having the Xbox on tap with the quick resume feature os the tits. I can jump in during a lunch break and pause any time then resume where I was after work. I can manage all my games from my phone AND I can play with my wife online. The graphics are shit compared to 4k @ 120fps with shit tons of stuff on the screen with 0 hang ups.. but for $500 or so it cost me, thats plenty to just game a bit after work and on weekends. |

Quote HistoryQuoted: Eh, maybe. I'm sure if you absolutely want to ball on a budget, with interest free promos and what not, you might be able to throw one together cheaper, but if you just want it hot and ready, it's still making the best of a bad situation. The biggest issue would be finding the GPUs in stock at MSRP at all, I'd think. If it takes you several months to secure a 3080, and time is money, you haven't actually saved any money in my book.

I grabbed a ps5, I hate the new GUI with a passion. I notice almost no difference is gameplay between ps4 and ps5. Graphics are the same, controllers are a bit nicer but battery dies after 4 hours. So far, I should have stuck with ps4…. Finally, it looks like some AAA ps5 Titles are coming out. However, they are also being released for PS4 at the same time. Whenever they do that the games are nowhere near as good as they could’ve been for the newer system.

Quote HistoryQuoted: It comes back to sourcing them (the CPU and GPU specifically) at MSRP. I paid over MSRP for my 3080, like double, but that was just a GPU upgrade, as all of my other components are pretty good, so it made sense for me to pull the lever. If I were starting 100% fresh though, I'd probably just buy prebuilt, for now. When the market gets better, that opinion will change, but right now it's just not great.

I personally would wait. The PS5's game lineup is still incredibly lacking. Maybe when the next Horizon rolls around in six months, but at this point it's nothing to buy a console for.

I get much faster load times and updates are lightning fast compared to the ps4. I'm happy. |

What TV or monitor are you playing on? Unless it can do 4K at 120hz, then you probably that won't notice much of a difference.
