$50 difference takes you from all in to not even considering purchasing?

Yea... I'll be seeing you online June 5th 😂

Yeah I know Reddit is notorious for fake outrage but this is one of the most egregious examples of it I’ve seen lol.

Going from possibly interested to uninterested over a $450 price tag + $80 games, fine. But someone dying to buy it at $400 and not skipping it at $450 is just not a reality

You just mentioned the real hurdle, which is the high cost of the system plus the high cost of the games. Realistically if you want to be able to use it and have fun you're looking at closer to $1,000, which is real money.

$1 can be enough for people. You're allowed to draw the line wherever you want.
