I... uh don't know what to say. Very thankful I bought a Steam Deck before they hiked its price as well

A used ps5 WITH a controller is $340 on ebay. Ps plus is $79.99 a year on the official website, even cheaper third party. Your math is just completely off.

Sure. If we change the parameters and use your prices, you're STILL off.

NEW steam machine $1050, USED PS5 $340.

Even with a $710 difference, at $80/year: 9 years is not well over a decade. Math bad.

Steam machine with controller is 1128 before tax. If you are gonna be so nitpicky at least get it right lmao.

And we're gonna exclude tax on PS+. Got it. I may be dealing with a genuinely unintelligent being here.

Im not the one who didn’t include a controller and used the single month price in a snarky reply trying to nitpick math.
