Someone else said that this is better because "if the drive breaks down you can just buy a new one, but if the ps5 drive breaks down you have to buy an entire new ps5 instead of just the drive"

Thoughts?

well i asked before i saw they raised the price of the digital console by $50. If it was still $400, then you could have gotten to console plus disk add on for $20 less than the disk ps5 version.

Worst advice ever.

Investing in a PC isn't a bad idea, especially if they like to play online. A subscription is needed for normal games. That subscription doesn't include MMORPG.
$79.99 for 12 months. Times that by the entire console life span and that would be a lot.

On PC we don't need any subscription to play online, unless they are MMORPG.
We get free games on Epic Store weekly and even daily at times. Sometimes even multiple games. We get free games on Steam and GOG at times and more on other stores.

0 reason to do so, so probably not. The ONLY reason there was a Pro version of the PS4 was because 4K suddenly took off so they needed consoles that could handle 4K better.

Why is it some users keep saying this still, while other users (including myself) are positively swimming in ps5 units. What is with this uneven distribution?

Some people still saying PS3 has no games, probably same kind of people.

Oh? "Boost mode" in the settings doesn't make games run faster and smoother? Did the ps4 pro settings lie to me? I've had it turned on the 5 years I've owned and played my ps4 pro

this doesn't change the fact that the pro models were made because 4K penetrated the market faster than people thought it would.

Their main selling points were 4K output. the beefier hardware to allow that had the side effect of running games a bit better. the PS4 Pro didn't even get super-sampling until later.

Thoughts?
Lol no. You could absolutely replace the drive in the current PS5. The difference is that for the average Joe, they'd have to take it to a repair place, instead of being able to do it themselves.

And I doubt the disc drives will fail any time soon. We'll be well into the next console generation before that becomes a concern.

Not being tech savvy I'd more then likely end up screwing up the build and up paying 3x the price ultimately just to meet the minimum requirements.

Plus there's all the extra equipment and furniture to optimize the exp.

You can always just buy a pre-built until you become more tech savvy. Technically you don't really need any extra equipment. You can just put the desktop where the console would be. You can actually use the controller as a mouse. Or at least Playstation controllers, you can.

If you want the computer just for gaming and don't plan on browsing or anything, you can set Steam to auto-run on PC start (can't remember if this is default or not) and whenever you turn on your computer, you can just hit a button on your controller to enter Steam's Big Picture Mode which basically turns it into console mod where it works every well with a controller. Wouldn't even really need to touch a keyboard or mouse after the setup is done.

Edit: You can actually make Steam default to Big Picture Mode, so as soon as you turn on your PC, it'll be in "console" mode.

right. but the availability will depend if some prefer the slim over the OG. eventually that too will be common and then the original wont be found anymore.
