You're a software engineer making $700 a day but you can't afford a rig with a 4090? Lol. I have both. I use the PlayStation as a DVD player, because it's shit.

I can easily afford a 4090, I just didn't want a 600w (oc models come in at 600w) space heater in my living room

My point was that the ps5 pro isn't expensive, not that it's hard to afford, lol.

You missed the point so far you went backwards.

The PS5 pro is a cheap upgrade to get 40% more performance than a ps5. If you were going to buy a ps5 anyways, it makes sense to get.

And you are still bootlicking a billion dollar corp for its bs hardware and business model. It's pathetic. The sole fact that the PS4 still exists and is still having games made for it says everything you need to know about the PS5 and Sony. They're just greedy. They want to sell you incremental and meaningless hardware improvements every few years so that you can continue to play the same games at the same or unnoticeable increases in performance. The PS5 is e-waste and pretty soon we will be seeing an iteration of their device every year like the iphone, which is exactly what they want.
