    Hey IGN!

    … How many PS5s are selling?

    After their price raise, and subsequent uh … you could maybe say ‘controversial new policies’?

    Look at the ball, children, look at this one, over here, not the other one!

    Media literacy: Wait, why are focusing on this, instead of that?

    Prices are up. Wages are not. Video games are luxury.

    We’re being fucked by the stupid rich.

    I’m glad I got one when they came out. It’s not an OLED screen but that’s okay. I don’t use it as my primary gaming vehicle anyway. Feel bad for folks who didn’t snag one then and want one now though.

      I got one like 2 years ago for probably the same price it has been since release. You didn’t need to get it in the very beginning for a good price, you had to get it before this year.

    Glad I got my Deck when I did. Got a lot of use out of it, but I couldn’t see myself getting one at the current price. What a bad timeline.

    Base model is now $789, while the Steam Machine starts at $1,049. Not really much of a surprise…

      There’s people who bought steam decks for £350 who can sell them now used for a profit after using them for only a couple years. Who needs gold?

        Selling is such a damn hassle.

        I have a OLED and an LCD. I would happily sell the LCD one, but where? Craigslist is a ghostown, my principles would never let me use facebook (for marketplace) and ebay is a big cut and shipping sucks.

        So here it sits, like brand new doing nothing.
