$700, and the side by sides look barely different, from my perspective. The chat seemed to have the same opinion.

I agree! I wanted one for another room in my house but at this price point no way I am doing that!!!

With the last gen and the current gen being basically PC’s why not just go the PC route at this point? I am kind of at that point right now

You might look into the mini PC form factor and throw Bazzite on it for a Steam console-esque experience.

I have a few of these running HoloISO running around the house to stream graphic intense games from my main rig and to run smaller games locally. Runs fine with a 680m iGPU and I never have to leave the room I'm in (garage included) to play games if I want.

It cost more than a console, but far less than the 5 consoles I'd have to put out for that kind of convenience.

That's actually why I went with the Xbox this cycle. I got a series x for the large TV and a $200 (on sale) series S for the smaller one (although we usually just use a computer monitor and play side by side on the couch).

If you are the only one playing the PlayStation, you can do remote play via the computer, phone ,or even from a PS4.
