    Kind of what happens when you start talking about a new version when the last one still really isn’t getting games.

    Look at the “new releases” and the majority are PS4 or early that get “remade” and a new release date, or just straight shovelware.

        Eh, the MSRP isn’t a big worry for me, that makes sense

        What sucks about PlayStation pricing is they keep MSRP except for sales for way too long.

        Like, I saw last year’s Madden for $12 and almost got it, then it went off sale and back to $70 like a new one isn’t coming out in a few months.

        Rather than off sale prices slowly going down

        Eh, games have been $50-60 for literal decades, despite inflation and the massive increase in expected content. Everything else I can get behind, but games should be more expensive than they were.

          Hard disagree. Games are substantially more profitable than they’ve ever been. The user base has gone up massively and manufacturing costs have gone down with the digital era.

          Even when they raise the prices, they don’t get rid of the battle passes and DLCs.

        You shouldn’t buy a Tesla…

        No one suggested you buy one of those, but no one suggested you buy a PS5 either.
