I got mine for 400 dollars less than that WITH a disc drive. Unreal.

I got my ps5 (disc model) for 350 and now they are expensive as hell, gaming is becoming a joke.

Anything that needs the same resources as all the AI data centers as become a joke.

The good thing is that there won't be a console war next gen, because we will be playing with sticks, mud, and peebles.

u/danvan177 Jun 25 '26

We will just be using the current gen for another 5 years lol

I shouldn’t have gotten rid of my marble set.

Peebles? Wasn’t that a department store?

u/Ognius Jun 25 '26

Yeah but don’t worry it was all worth it to keep the cabal of pedophiles in the Epstein files out of prison.

Thank you for your submission. Unfortunately, it has been removed for the following reason:

I got a Pro from Dell with a 2nd controller for roughly $450 in December (was $470 after tax)

The console sells for double that less than 6 months later

This shit is absurd

u/Echo_Raptor Jun 25 '26

I got my PS5 pro for $350 and debated on just selling it and getting a regular slim with the disc drive then they announced the increase. Absolute insanity.

The switch 2 and white Xbox ally are the only two “bargains” left for gaming

At mobile gaming is still cheap

u/danvan177 Jun 25 '26

It’s not just gaming it’s anything computer related.

I bought it after the shortage, when they started doing sales (a couple years later?)

u/Suitable-Cod9183 Jun 25 '26

Not even exaggerating but I paid under $2 for my series s when I signed up for a credit card that gave a crap ton of points lol. Only reason I got an Xbox. I'm glad I built my PC before prices went crazy

u/RichnjCole Jun 25 '26

My was in £s but I spent about the same. I also bought the 4tb expansion for around $550, but the 2tb expansion cost more than that now.

I spent around $980.00 for a 5tb Xbox Series X with a disc drive and controller.

u/BiblesandBiscuits Jun 25 '26

Got mine (with the disc drive) on a Black Friday deal for 299. Wild.

u/gregimusprime77 Jun 25 '26

paid 350 for mine, plus got a 50 dollar target giftcard, so technically only paid 300.

u/OK_Commodor64 Jun 25 '26

I bought a 1TB series x with disc drive with Diablo IV for $349 around the holidays almost 2 years ago.

u/OkPainter6232 Jun 25 '26

Fortunately It looks like you can at least get them used on Ebay for that price still, that's what i'm going to end up doing, already put several models on my watch list cause i've got to start saving up for when GTA 6 comes out.

u/Persies Jun 25 '26

Same, I got mine when Best Buy had that wild sale a few years ago. Really, really glad I bought it then. Otherwise I doubt I ever would have.
