    No joke. A decent gaming pc can be built around that price and be used for so much more. Even cheaper if you hunt for used parts.

      People who buy consoles do it for the “press a button to game”.
      Not necessarily because they don’t understand pc’s, but because they don’t want the faff.

        For me, console gaming was for when my desktop rig was doing a video export or 3d render. It was when I wanted to sit on the couch and not be too invested in what I was playing with.

      true and if you really want that console experience install smth like bazzite,holoiso,nobara home cinema edition (non immutable),etc and dualboot windows for app compatibility you can use playnite on windows to make it look like a ps5

        That sounds like a lot of hassle for someone who doesn’t want hassle.
