The “12 month plan” is meaningfully less expensive than a year of paying monthly, so he’s using the cheapest option if you want to play online games (excluding sales, at least).
But then, assuming you’re not sailing the high seas or taking help from fit girls, you’d be spending similar amounts on the same kinds of games for the PC? Or am I mistaken somehow?
You sure? Last I remember the “crazy” quota was paying $999 for a monitor holder branded by a fruit (a bitten fruit, not even a whole one).
Joke aside, the most amusing thing, is that you have to pay $700 for a device attached to your TV, then if you want to check a website you have to resort on your smartphone or whatever shitty browser is integrated in your “smart” TV… because PS5 don’t have web browser support!
That’s not how the enforce security works. You’re either capable to secure the device without removing basic functionality, or don’t.
Xbox has a browser, as any iphone/ipad out of there. If the only way for Sony to keep security is cripple functionality; it doesn’t mark their device as valuable at all
(additionally, with proper web browser support you can play web videogames without have to pay Sony: would you say this also apply to Sony’s choice to remove web browser?)
I already own a computer to do daily work in other areas of my life. Why not add the extra $700 to my PC budget and access 35+ years of gaming history, vs. paying $700 to access ~700 games that I can’t play when the next hardware iteration drops?
Paying $700 for a locked system is crazy.
It also costs $468.68 over 7 years with the 12 month plan.
So it’s really $1168.68.
I got a great PC for that price!
And instead of no DVD drive, you can put in a DVD RW Drive, Floppy drive, extra SSDs etc.
Can you expand on this, how is a 12 month pkan running for 7 years?
He’s talking about PS plus.

The average console generation runs for 7-8 years

Yeah that runs a modified version of freebsd then sony locks and closed source it And if you want to play online you need to pay

That one’s pretty easy though. Browsers are a HUGE attack surface for jailbreaking. It’ll happen eventually anyway, but I can’t say that I’m surprised

Weird comparison.
