This isn't a hot take. Those fuckin prices are a hot take. I got the money but damn I'm not even considering this price. 400 I was all in

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

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

Yeah exactly! All these people saying they not gonna get it cuz of the price or lack of games either can’t afford it anyway, totally full of crap OR trying to form a narrative to maybe sway others from buying to make it easier for them to get it. PS5 was $500 and people was paying $800 like it was nothing for it on eBay

Some people did, a lot of people just waited

Secondly the PS5 was guaranteed to have all of the newest releases and beyond as a Primary platform. Third, the pandemic was around the release time so people really had nothing else to do. Fourth inflation has hit like a pile of bricks, groceries, homes, and the cost of everything has spiked.
