Now let's see how reddit is taking it!

/r/games thread: honestly nothing too interesting, just sblot of seething "Oh, I guess someone needs new shoes," or "No guys, xbox is going to raise in price too."

/r/playstation thread: Least commented thread, but "I was always a playstation-boy" is such a weird line.

/r/ps5 thread: Easily the largest thread. Cries of 'xd socialism xd' and people who are actually mad fill the thread. Of course there's a little rubbing the salt in the wound from Xbox fans, even the bing bing wahoo fans make an appearance. Just remember this is "absolutely disgusting behavior."

Keep in mind, this is a recent development and will almost certainly be blowing up even more in the next few hours, so I'm sure more threads will pop up and people find out.

Even ResetEra is seething, and dont forget to check the comments on the Playstation blog link above.

The only reason they're not increasing it in the US is because if they get anywhere near $599 theyre going to awaken an ancient beast

They should raise it to 1000 and lower it to 200 only for certified scalpers.

Woman is as powerful as many Simp she has and thing is in mayos group, there are just less man after 30 than holes. In the past I thought my standards ain’t high, I just want a girl who is 5’7+ non fat and has at least my skin tone or lighter. That’s shouldn’t be a problem since the average height of foid hire is 5’7 but barabum barabim the average weight of 5’7 foid (170cm) is 180lbs or 80kg and the simple rule is woman weight should be her heigh 170cm - 110 so 170cm kwin weight shouldnt be more than 60kg. Basically woman bmi shouldn’t be more than 20 or she fat. So in the end it’s seems that my standards are unreal high even though I am sporty 6’6 guy with bmi 23 and good degree. But don’t worry a faty I always can catch

It’s a bit more complicated foids after 20 starting to torn into landwhales and at 25 stop getting attention from chads so next 5 years they are single and around 30 they lower their standards but irony is their SVM is lower than their standards (Just checked actually I didn’t got that much likes from 30 year old most of them are sub 30) hire example https://i.imgur.com/a/hlxdHFc I mog the shit out of her I would never go out with her or touch her yet she gave me a like jfl

Microsoft finally decided they wanted to compete and didn't let Sony pay small amounts of money to have everything exclusive/early on Playstation. Sony really should have played nice in the 2010s.

PS5s are great for easy money. There’s a twitter account somewhere that predicted ps5 drops and one time my wife and I used our real names, her maiden name, and abbreviations of our names to order ps5s to our home, our vacation home, my parents’ home and her mom’s house (because of one per customer account) and we resold them on eBay and made close to $30,000 in profit from just waiting on Walmart websites on multiple browsers for a few minutes

I bought a PS5 at launch (I just pre-ordered, what's the big deal everyone else is having still the mongs?) and it's shit.

Worst new console generation ever. Other launch consoles I've bought have been Dreamcast and Wii, both of which offered something immediately new and exciting. PS5 and Xbox whatever it is called now have nothing.

Does it’s price goes down in Russia ? ^.^

Jump in the discussion.

No email address required.

Inflation in Russia is going down. Most goods at pre-war prices, even iPhones. Many companies are quietly resuming operations in Russia, for example aircraft and engine components are being sold to us again. Restaurants etc. have simply been annexed and renamed (Starbucks has reopened as Stars Coffee, McDonalds is also back:marseysaluteusa:). Inflation in Britain will be higher than what it is in Russia within 4-5 months.

Russia/USSR had an independent economy for two thirds of a century, the idea that it was ever in danger from Western sanctions is laughable.

I have bad info for you, those McDonalds and Starbucks didn’t left, they made such contract with the new “owners” that when the operation end McDonald’s can rebuy its building and rename it back to McDonalds

I have a rtx 3070ti laptop (use purely for studying) and will buy next month a desktop with 3080 rtx. But I still don’t buy games on pc because why pay for something if you can get for free ? And I like playing on ps because of trophies it feels more rewarding but I do play my switch game often on pc because of better frame rate and I kinda love moding scene on consoles like it feel so much cooler making mods and cheats for ps4 than pc because barely anyone can do it

Sorry, but this is pathetic.

PS5 was profitable, so instead of going back to selling hardware at a loss for a little while, they are passing increase onto consumer.

Lmao why would sony sell a product for a loss when they could sell it for a profit. Do these r-slurs think sony was selling ps4s at a loss out of the good of their heart?

Jump in the discussion.

You're an idiot. Sony sells products for a loss all the time. They sell the PlayStation 4 at a loss because they want to make a profit on the games and accessories.
