Well I don’t know if it’s such a ripoff.

Just the other day, I was watching a video about how much it would cost to build a pc with similar power to the ps5 and it was at least 750$.

Also you have to factor the fact that you have to make researches to create a thinner ps5.

I’d say what’s not okay is that you have to buy a new stand and some of the ps store/ps plus prices.

Consoles don’t look like ripoffs yet for me.

It’s simply the fact that they have clearly reduced costs (or they wouldn’t have made it) yet the price for both models has technically increased because the stand is no longer included and the digital is £10 more even before the stand.
