    That’s what I love about these consoles, man.

    The prices get higher but the specs stay the same.

    The PS2 and PS4 were definitely some of the best deals for anyone to waited a bit

      That’s not really the case though, is it? Most great games are on all platforms and when it comes to exclusives, isn’t playstation known for having the superior selection?

        Playstation is absolutely not known for having the superior selection, especially the PS5. It has very few exclusives and many of them are bad

    I remember the backlash to the PS3’s price but why the fuck was it that expensive

      1. It was basically a pilot for Cell processors, which weren’t especially cheap to produce until quite late in its lifecycle
      2. Blu-Ray diodes were not cheap, either, and the format was still competing with HD-DVD. A Blu-Ray player in 2006 cost more than a PS3
      3. The original PS3 models also had an Emotion Engine onboard for backward compatibility with PS2 games, which was later replaced with much cheaper software emulation.

        I think they were also too confident about their status as monopoly but you know it better

      The console was expensive, but you saved a lot on the games because there weren’t any to buy, so it evened out

    PS2 $299 usd

    God damn, i didn’t realise the AUD was that trash compared to the USD and Yen at the time. I swear the PS2 was selling for like $1000 here at launch.
    google tells me RRP was $750 but i know that people were paying more

      Not surprised it was going for more, there were shortages.

    That’s what happens when one or more core components 5x in price (ram, but others aren’t far behind).
