For 799€ I could get 28 Blåhajar and a mini one.
So. Where are they?
As I do not have 799, still in the Ikea. I only managed to save 2 + a mini one till now.
Those poor souls
I just ordered an rx 6400 for 198€ to make a franken-optiplex windows game machine.
Sure, I had the old PC laying around for photoshop and 3dsmax (linux-complicatted softs) but man 800€ for a console I’m getting old.
I think that 800 dollars is just too much. The software stack underneath is BSD based.
Here, after taxes and if you brought it with everything it costs ~1000€. That (and less) already gets you a decent machine nowadays.
With upgrade potential even. Maybe you save a bit of cash to get a weaker used Gpu and later on maybe a year or so you upgrade.
If the Play station was a fully open device that could play games and run software from anywhere it might be more reasonable. However, not only do you need to pay for the console you also are stuck in the ecosystem.
