Both of them jumped in price just because they are so hard to find. But they could be had for same price for ps5DE, or $100 more expensive to get the ps5 disc ver. Both versions provide less performance for someone upgrading from a ps4 to ps5, vs a pc gamer upgrading their GPU for either $100 less, or same money. They could also sell previous gpu for more money than they could sell their ps4 as well.
I just sold my PS4 Pro this week. Got €250 for the console and one controller. We have the PS5, which I got my junior for Christmas, and I haven't even played on it yet. I'm supper happy that I was able to get a new RTX 3080 for an awesome price.
The longer I thought about getting a PS5 for myself, the less sense it made, because there are a few issues I have with it:
-The cost of PS+
-Limited to one game return per account
-Awful consumer friendliness in general
-They can ban your entire account with potentially thousands of Euros of games on it because you claim a refund on a credit card payment
-If your account gets hacked, they'll probably tell you you are SOL
-You are locked into one single digital store, outside of Amazon selling a code every once in a moon
-Digital games are super expensive whenever you don't buy them during a sale
Yeah, a gaming PC is more expensive, but you get better graphics at higher framerates, can use the input device of your choice, don't pay for multiplayer, and have multiple official and unofficial digital stores.
I'll still probably get another PS5 for the bedroom in a year or so, so I can play some Gran Turismo or Demon's Souls without hogging my son's console, and play from my bed.
